(2) APS, GES and OES decreased, and the rest of the space types showed a trend of expansion.

From 1990 to 2000, the overall ES showed a decreasing trend, with a decrease of 0.37%.

Likewise, one of the individual characteristics that has been most influential in terms of new barriers created by the pandemic is fear of contagion [ 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 88 , 89 , 94 , 95 , 97 ], an aspect that has been discussed in many publications, including opinion articles [ 113 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 ], and also played a highly significant role in previous epidemics as a factor causing problems or delays in seeking medical care [ 2 , 21 , 24 , 26 , 72 , 76 , 101 , 108 , 143 , 144 ].

The change in SF showed a clear trend for the ions, including Na + , Cl − , and Ca 2+ .

These findings confirmed our results, where mercury-exposed gold miners suffered significantly more often from neuro-psychological disorders [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 54 ] and showed somewhat significant worse results in neuro-psychological tests [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 54 ].

While our data are consistent with data from other centers [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ], there is an increasing trend, especially in the US, to reduce the LOS to one day by using the awake-surgery method, which increases safety without compromising outcomes [ 42 , 49 ].

When the range of Φ was between 0.7 and 1.0, as Φ increased, S L showed an increasing trend as well.

When the range of Φ was between 1.0 and 1.3, as Φ increased, S L showed a decreasing trend.

These results indicated there are more published studies of teacher mobility from North America, which was an expected trend, given that the high turnover rates in the United States are widely known [ 4 , 10 ].

Second, as a whole, the carbon emission TFP of China cities does not perform well, but it shows an increasing trend over time.

The industrial green efficiency in Sichuan province was low, but in recent years industrial green TFP is greater than 1; green technical efficiency showed a trend of rapid growth, but the technology progress inhibited the trend.

For word production, contrary to our hypothesis, the Early pointers showed a trend that was similar to the Typical pointers.

The Early pointers showed a positive trend in word comprehension, which developed at a higher rate than for the Typical pointers, as we had hypothesised.

Turning to the moderating effects, those for the Early pointers on the linear developmental trend of comprehension were positive with respect to the Typical pointers, as expected, and nearly reached significance (b = 0.173; 95% Bayesian Cred.

In addition, when the atmospheric pressure increases ( Figure 5 ), the air convection is not strong, and the rainfall is less, so the path of the Cl − and SO 4 2− transported through the ocean atmosphere is blocked, resulting in an overall decrease in the concentration of Cl − and SO 4 2− , and with the decrease of tropical high-pressure rainfall, the accumulation of PO 4 3− and TSP in the atmosphere has an increasing trend.

The concentration of PO 4 3− had a negative correlation with temperature and wind speed and a positive correlation with atmospheric pressure and relative humidity, showing that the concentration of PO 4 3 − displayed a decreasing trend with the increase of temperature and wind speed while displaying the synchronous changing trend as regards atmospheric pressure and relative humidity.

All the age groups, except for the [40, 50) group, showed an increasing trend with the quantiles.

Road freight transport intensity also had a decreasing trend in this period, leading to the reduction in emissions.

In terms of spatial distribution, the regression coefficients show an increasing trend from west to east.

A similar attenuation pattern was seen for social strain, though the association between social strain and dimension 4 (pain/discomfort) and 5 (anxiety/depression) remained highly significant.

More importantly, girls’ knowledge understanding maintained across the three time points, while boys and other genders (especially the latter) showed a decreasing trend.

A positive value of slope (Slope > 0) implies that the data presents a rising trend over time, whereas a negative slope (Slope < 0) implies it has a decreasing trend over time.

There were 27 countries with an increasing trend of PWEL of PM 2.5 and Brunei, Myanmar, and Nepal were the top three countries with growth rates of 63.97%, 50.43%, and 45.74%, respectively.

The differences were highly significant.

The increase in carbon emissions in northeast China shows a trend of first rising and then falling and generally shows a slow upward trend, while an increase in carbon emissions in the other three regions shows an increasing trend year by year.
