“The ability to communicate asynchronously is a highly significant aspect.” (Expert 1) “Employees can communicate rapidly and with greater ease, even when remote.” (Expert 5) “In addition to facilitating swift communication, there is quick access to information.” (Expert 11) “Collaboration becomes feasible regardless of location, free from barriers, which is a genuine advantage.” (Expert 14) DICT offers the potential to streamline and enhance collaboration compared to traditional methods.

Negative spillover at baseline predicted higher BMI a decade later, with marginally significant effects for triglycerides, while increases in spillover also impacted these outcomes across time.

A clear trend towards higher OHIP-14 scores with increasing age was observed.

The t -test shows the same results in terms of statistical significance as the Wilcoxon did, with the exception of the comparison of exhaustion symptoms directly after the program (SMBQ2) and six months after the program (SMBQ6), where the Wilcoxon analysis shows a statistically significant decrease in symptoms but the t -test analysis only shows a strong trend in the same direction.

A small trend could be observed that the group with combined feedback had a larger reduction of arm elevation in most of the parameters, both during intervention and post-intervention, compared to baseline ( Table 2 ).

Interactive Effects of RH and Air Pollution on FeNO The interactive effect between RH and PM 2.5 showed a nonsignificant trend towards an increase in FeNO for days with medium (percentage change = 0.02; 95% CI: −0.02 to 0.05) and high (percentage change = 0.02; 95% CI: −0.02 to 0.06) PM 2.5 concentrations compared to days with low PM 2.5 concentrations ( Table 4 ).

In the last ten years, the air quality in Madrid experienced a clear improvement in general terms, and several air pollutants (SO 2 , CO, PM 10 , PM 2.5 and NO 2 ) exhibit a decreasing trend that seems to continue according to the latest reports [ 32 , 33 , 34 ].
