In previous studies, the frequency of using physical restraint varied, from 4.5 to 9.4% for admitted patients in Europe [ 8 ] and has been higher in Mainland China (51.3% of all patients) [ 19 ], while the reform of mental health law in China seems to have led to a decreasing trend in the use of restraints in psychiatric hospitals (from 30.7% to 22.4%) [ 18 ].

However, this study showed a decreasing trend of diarrhea in Nepal, which may be due to the differences in the data considered (14 years of data from 1994 to 2007 for selected districts only).

Moreover, the J–T test revealed a significant trend: in-cabin PM concentrations of taxi, bus, and metro trips ascended in the city order of CS→SZ→GZ→WH, except for those measured during inbound taxi trips in the evening.

In addition, aging is an important trend in changing the age structure of the world population, which has become a widespread social problem in developed countries [ 7 ] and developing countries [ 8 ].

Symptomatic admissions and ICU admissions showed a trend coherent with the epidemics one, and kept being roughly the same fraction of the diagnosed cases at least until higher vaccination percentage had been reached among population.

As shown in Figure 5 c, the carcinogenic risk of Cr was different from those of Cd and As, wherein, on the right bank, it was higher with an increasing trend from the upstream to downstream and an order of magnitude of 10 −4 –10 −3 .

Additionally, the absolute values of these coefficients exhibited a decreasing trend at first, and increased thereafter, confirming that an increase in the share of non-fossil fuel energy sources led to a decline in total CO 2 emissions; moreover, its impact declined at first, and increased subsequently.

In 2010, Hainan showed a decline in the natural gas share, while Qinghai and Beijing exhibited an increasing trend, and no significant changes were observed in the remaining provinces.

MGP in Inner Mongolia showed a trend of annual increase, and increased by 38.53% from 1998 to 2019.

As far as the impulse response of lnSI to 1 unit of lnCOD is concerned, all values are positive and display an increasing trend except for during the first three periods, suggesting that COD discharge would impose a negative impact on industrial structure adjustment in the short term, although this effect could be reversed in the long term.

Owing to the different types of human activities occurring in buildings (including studying, working, entertainment, and catering), the spatial distributions of CO 2 emissions from different buildings within the same grid might be significant differences.

At baseline, at the first stage, stress was mainly driven by unprotected exposure to COVID-19 positive patients and lack of confidence in safety measures; compassion fatigue was nearly significant [ 23 ].

The National Health and Morbidity Surveys [ 2 , 3 , 4 ] showed an increasing trend of prevalence of diabetes mellitus from 11.6% in 2006, to 13.4% in 2015, to 18.3% in 2019.

The garden time spent was close to significance, which should be considered when discussing exposure-reduction strategies. 4.4.

Warm-related extreme weather events such as warm days and warm spell duration indices showed an increasing trend, whereas cold-related extreme weather events such as cold spell duration indices, cold nights, ice days, and frost days showed a decreasing trend.

p -values are highly significant at α = 0.01 for correlation and at α = 0.05 for correlation.

The results demonstrated that income quantiles (49.57%), SAH (80.91%), and sex ratio in the community (−102.29%) were highly significant when explaining the differences in inpatient utilization.

In fact, as China’s different ownership economies continue to develop, shifting from employed to self-employed migrant workers has become an important trend in recent years [ 14 ], especially since the Chinese government proposed the strategy of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” in 2014.

In the remaining parameters, we did not notice a statistically significant improvement, however in all motor tasks, we noticed a positive trend in the group participating in the training program.

Indoor pollution contributes to the overall human exposure, which can be understood as a combination between the local atmospheric exposure and the microenvironments to which each individual is exposed, whether at school, at the workplace, in commercial spaces, or, particularly, in his or her home, since this corresponds to a daily level of exposure that can be extremely significant.
