Excerpts

if entry screening is implemented, States should take into account the following considerations: it offers an opportunity for individual sensitization, but the resource demands may be significant, even if screening is targeted; and management systems must be in place to care for travelers and suspected cases in compliance with International Health Regulations (IHR) requirements ” [ 5 ].

There is a notable trend of a decrease in maximum sorption for equilibrium time in nanopolymer adsorbent.

Finally, we highlight as important findings the high effect sizes and the high improvement index (see Table 4 ), even in results statistically marginally significant [ 108 ]. 4.

This study found an increasing trend of multimorbidity development in the working population using national representative data from South Korea.

In addition, there was an increasing trend in the absolute values of CUL coefficients between 1999 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2009, implying that the impact of urban expansion on ESH is becoming more pronounced. 4.

Over time, they showed a decreasing trend with the increasing population from 2005–2013.

It is noteworthy that in low-middle elevation area (2000–3000 m), the temperature decreases as elevation increases, and the VFC may be affected by changes in temperature over the vertical gradient; the VFC is sensitive to temperature at this elevation segmentation and showed a trend of reduced as elevation increases, and this may also relate to human activities.

Statistic Z was calculated using Equation (6); when Z > 0, it shows an increasing trend, and when Z < 0, it is a decreasing trend.

[ 17 ] reported an increasing trend of suspended sediment from the canopy top region toward the flow bed; however, the present study showed an inverse trend.

Comparisons between the flat canopy and caved canopies of three aspect ratios showed that the design of the canopy cave is highly significant for capture efficiency. biotechnique foliage capture shallow water flow solid pollutants pmc-status-qastatus 0 pmc-status-live yes pmc-status-embargo no pmc-status-released yes pmc-prop-open-access yes pmc-prop-olf no pmc-prop-manuscript no pmc-prop-legally-suppressed no pmc-prop-has-pdf yes pmc-prop-has-supplement no pmc-prop-pdf-only no pmc-prop-suppress-copyright no pmc-prop-is-real-version no pmc-prop-is-scanned-article no pmc-prop-preprint no pmc-prop-in-epmc yes pmc-license-ref CC BY 1.

A positive association was also found with Christmas, although this was only marginally significant (OR = 2.27; CI 95%: 0.89–5.82).

Results were robust to sensitivity analyses for the influence of dietary adjustment ( Table S2, Supplementary Materials ) and weight–height ratio adjustment ( Table S5, Supplementary Materials ) The nominal association of fish with higher fasting glucose in Karachi remained nominally significant in sensitivity models adjusted for fruit and vegetable consumption instead of our unhealthy diet score index, but was not significant in models unadjusted for diet; however, the point estimates for association were similar across the three models.

Although the agreement format explained more in interpersonal deviance, the total explained variance was only marginally significant.

Comparing the association between social loneliness and mental HR-QoL [std-β: −1.84; 95%-CI: −2.27 to −1.41] with that between social loneliness and physical HR-QoL [std-β: −0.95; 95%-CI: −1.44 to −0.45] reached borderline significance.

The resilience value of the industrial sub-system is shown in Figure 6 b as an increasing trend.

Whereas a decreasing trend of incident malaria has been recorded from 2000 to 2015, incidence of enteric and dengue fever has not changed overtime [ 4 ].

Results are reported in Figure 9 , showing an increasing trend of the IRR (both with and without incentives) as the number of cohabitants increase.

To be specific, (1) in low-density communities, the time required to evacuate all agents increased significantly as the proportion of vulnerable resident agents increased, and the result was similar to the previous study [ 26 ]; (2) in the medium-density communities, the total evacuation time firstly showed a slight trend of decline when the proportion of vulnerable resident agents increased from 5% to 30%, and then gradually increased when the proportion of vulnerable resident agents continued to increase; (3) in the high-density communities, the increase in the percentage of vulnerable resident agents resulted in a slight decrease in total evacuation time, which was significantly different from the other two types of communities.

Taking account of nighttime air temperature, commercial and business/industrial areas may be significant determinants of air temperature throughout the year, while residential areas are the main factors during spring and summer.

As can be seen in Table 1 , there is a highly significant detrimental effect of mean age in class.

In the present study, the relation between air pollutants and RA disease activity was measured using several regression models, to ensure that this association was still present even after the addition of RA factors that were highly significant for DAS-28 and CDAI.

RA is considered as the most common chronic systemic auto-immune disease affecting joints, musculoskeletal apparatus, and fibrous tissues [ 37 ], whose incidence is expected to follow a positive trend during the following years [ 38 ].

However, some of the probability values obtained are slightly higher than the assumed significance level ( p = 0.05), which means results at the level of the tendency toward significance.

In the period 2001–2018, though an increasing trend was found, less than half of the population was sufficiently active.

Overall, a positive trend was found from 39.9% adherence in 2001 to 46.0% in 2018.
