Excerpts

The CIS has been reported to have high internal consistency and test-retest reliability and correlations with clinician and parent ratings of child impairment were both highly significant, supporting the construct validity of the measure [ 42 ].

Of more concern, and inconsistent with this substantive evidence-base, there has been an increasing trend to “cut-back” on activities in school that promote health and to view these activities as “add-ons” rather than activities that are central to the academic mission of schools.

There is evidence of an increasing trend in recent years which may be due to a lowering of personal tolerance thresholds or to changing behaviours in the use of public spaces, which are more diversified and are taking place throughout both the day and night times.

These variables were chosen a priori based on previous research and theory as likely to be significant in predicting costs [ 25 ].

However, the epidemic has showed an increasing trend since 2012.

They accounted for 58.32%, 28.62%, and 8.92% of all new infections in 2009, and 64.81%, 25.17%, and 6.54% in 2013, respectively, with an increasing trend in MSM and a decreasing trend in heterosexuals or IDUs ( Table 3 ) [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].

The composite was then dichotomized at its median value (11, out of an actual range of 3–12), to allow for comparison of those who showed a trend towards providing patient-centered mental health care and those who did not. 2.4.

A decreasing trend of adsorption capacity was also reported by Deliyanni et al.

The prevalences of 2 ≥3 CVD risk factors had an increasing trend with age but a decreasing trend with education level.

Algal bloom coverage showed a positive trend in the WC lake area ( Figure 3 ).

A clear trend toward a greater correlation of hypertension was noted as age increased.

The interaction term—showing that South African women differ from Mozambican women and all men—is highly significant and positive.

The use of the categories “makeup”, “eyemakeup”, Lip Products (“lip”) and Hairstyling products (“hair”) showed a trend toward decreasing frequency of use in the postpartum period.

However, our finding showed that the scarlet fever incidence demonstrated an increasing trend from 2005 (14.7) until 2007 (14.27), and then dropped in 2008 (10.15 cases/100,000 population).

study [ 22 ] reported that the incidence of scarlet fever showed a decreasing trend in Hong Kong from 2008 to 2010, whereas another study suggested that the incidence of scarlet fever had decreased prior to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing [ 26 ].

Although several kinds of ions show an increasing trend in the tomato fruits, they are far below the index in the national standard, which indicates they are safe for people’s health [ 27 , 28 ].

A decreasing trend in the level of physical activity throughout the population is due to the sedentary behavior of youth and adults, which is a rapidly developing area of research.

The correlation between depressive symptoms and sleep disturbance was highly significant.

Figure 5 shows the results of the significance test of all the extracted IMFs which reveals that the first and trend components are highly significant compared to other components.

By contrast, the changes in the pH value showed a trend similar to that for with total Fe during the bioleaching experiment.

Nevertheless, the sound values in the different road categories of the categorisation method have highly significant statistical differences.

In parallel to the European Commission efforts in environmental noise management, there is an increasing trend in the EU pushing the policy to move beyond the traditional noise control methods towards a more integrated approach of urban sound planning, and some large-scale projects are currently in place [ 7 ].

This finding is further supported with both chl a concentrations and in vivo Fm gearing towards an increasing trend ( Figure 2 B and Figure 3 A).

The analysis in this study showed a marginally non-significant association between PaedsCTAS and child age.

The authors repeated an assessment one year later and showed a modestly significant increase of 1.6 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day, which could indicate that a broader, longer intervention with more resources is needed.
