Excerpts

The absolute numbers reveal an overall trend of the burden increasing with age.

Thus, it can be seen that CRF among children and adolescents in both China and Japan shows a decreasing trend over time; however, the relationship in terms of the CRF between Chinese and Japanese children and adolescents has not been revealed.

AI > 1 indicates that the estimate of the high/low anchor group is larger than the anchor value, representing an extremely significant experimenter-provided anchoring effect. 3.3.2.

In the case of blood Pb, the difference of 20% between urban and rural populations was revealed to be only marginally significant, which was due to the variability within the rural study group being almost double that of the urban group used in the sample size calculations.

As shown in Figure 9 , with the increase in cycles, the removal rate of antibiotics by GAC-Fe presented a decreasing trend.

Nevertheless, as described by the GCS 2018, there is an increasing trend for coworking space providers to offer private offices [ 25 ] which means that coworkers may be looking for more enclosed and private working spaces.

This finding can be considered highly significant and these relationships should be analyzed in greater depth in future research.

Furthermore, between the BL and the 12-month measurement, there was a borderline significant PA increase in the IG ≥ 1 JACKPOT group.

EF and Igeo results indicated that, with the exceptions of Ni and Cr, heavy metal elements enrichment in the street dust was moderately significant, at the pollution level of class 1, which is slightly polluted.

In this mediation model, the associations between the emotional competence of perceiving, expressing and managing emotions and measures of well-being (such as life satisfaction, positive and negative affect, somatic complains and perceived stress) were highly significant ( Table 3 ).

This belies an increasing trend toward multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary data collection and decision making in all areas of disaster and crisis medicine and management [ 14 ].

For example, in Australia, this includes encouraging community tsunami and earthquake risk acceptance in states (e.g., Tasmania, New South Wales) where these hazards are rare but capable of creating highly significant impacts on communities with little or no warning [ 52 , 53 ].

There was an increasing trend in the occurrence of dental treatment under GA in the study period.

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.

Current climate models show a positive trend in surface temperatures and temperatures are expected to increase by approximately 3–5 °C, although this increase is not temporally or spatially uniform across the region [ 55 ].

It was found that there was an increasing trend in age-adjusted mortality rates in men between 2000 and 2005, rising from 2 to 3 per 100,000, and in women between 1997 and 2014 from 0.9 to 1.2 per 100,000.

Due to rapid kinetics, carbonate weathering in the short term might be significant in controlling the climate (even though the net drawdown by this pathway is zero).
