Specifically, the aggregation degree of carbon intensity shows a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2007, then a rebound in 2008, while from 2009 to 2015, the trend of Moran’s I gradually decreased.

Amongst men exposed to H 2 S and organic sulphides, there was a significant excess of cardiovascular deaths (37 deaths, standardised mortality ratio (SMR) 150, 95% confidence interval (CI) 105–206), due to an excess of coronary deaths which was not quite significant (25 deaths, SMR 150, CI 98–222).

Calculated GFR and ERPF were decreased in the preterm-born group, although these comparisons showed a rather borderline significance.

Chang, Davidson [ 51 ], also studying time as an interaction term, found no significant main effect between sex and time, or activity and time on cortisol, but noted that cortisol levels decreased significantly at the beginning of the interventions with a mild trend upwards during the intervention and posttest.

The first was to apply a decreasing trend from decade to decade using a ratio directly involving the production of asbestos contacting material (ACM) or dealing in ACMs, which was suggested by a previous study [ 15 ].

Table 2 shows that LGBQ youth perceived significantly lower levels of maternal autonomy support, but not paternal autonomy support (borderline significant), and higher levels of both maternal and paternal psychologically controlling parenting.

The incidence of scrub typhus has been showing a decreasing trend over recent years as indicated by an annual incidence of 21.52 (11,105 cases) in 2016 and 7.73 (4005 cases) per 100,000 population in 2019 [ 9 ].

These results show a significant trend towards the disappearance of severe health problems with increases in some slight health problems (ES = 0.38) and no problems at all (ES = 0.19).

Our results show an increasing trend of SARS-CoV-2-positive surfaces, parallel to the increase in the number of patients with positive results.

A statistical significance level (alpha) of 0.05 and marginal significance level of 0.10 were set to identify, respectively, reportable and trend-level results worth further investigation.

The conjecture that a rural household’s off-farming diversification strategies vary with farming decisions is strongly supported by the trivariate regression, where we obtain highly significant coefficients for the farming parameter in the local off-farming and migrating equations.

Regarding VWM, there is a clear trend in results; although no differences are found among groups, the SAD group presented better results than the OCD and GAD groups.

Individual cytokines from the first trimester had the strongest positive associations with PTB; 14 cytokines (Eotaxin, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-17, sIL-2rα, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, TNFα, and VEGF) were either statistically significant or marginally significant after adjusting for multiple testing.

The participants who worked in the general ward showed a trend of a higher risk of moderate to severe mood disorder.

A negative trend of association between exposure to high-molecular-weight (HMW) phthalates and PDI scores was observed in girls, while a positive association was found in boys [ 56 ].

Using word frequency and content analysis, the results suggest that the engagement was relatively low at the beginning and then surged in the acute stage, with a decreasing trend in the chronic stage.

Meanwhile, the amount of its woodland, grassland, and cultivated land all showed a decreasing trend, whereas the size of its water remained stable.

The most important aspect to point out is the strong and completely significant correlation between the score on the PEQ and the “load percentage difference” (+0.665).

TIR metrics were close to significance.

Although no significant effects on sprint performance were observed, it is likely that some individuals experienced improvements in 10 metre acceleration, as the results for both groups showed a trend towards a significant effect.

When stratified by sex for regular smoking, being older was significant for boys (OR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.5, 5.6) and borderline significant for girls (OR = 2.6, 95% CI 0.8, 8.4).

There was a positive trend in the association of iAs% with prediabetes and diabetes.

At the same time, during the COVID-19 pandemic, deforestation registered an increasing trend, probably due to socio-economic reasons that were exacerbated by the global situation [ 55 ].

There was an increasing trend in using standardized regimens from 2% in 2012 to 44% in 2018.

Cities with high levels of economy, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, mainly showed a decreasing trend in carbon intensity, which indicated that their carbon efficiency gradually improved and developed towards an energy-intensive type.
