The results also showed a trend towards greater effects when compared to a control group without any intervention (SMD, 0.585; 95% IC, −0.070, 1.240) than when compared to an intervention with exercise (SMD, 0.128; 95% IC, −0.121, 0.377) ( Figure 3 ).
Excerpts
an obvious trendgold
This is mainly reflected in an obvious trend: a decreasing number of POI agglomerations from the urban area to the rural fringe, which is also why POI is mainly applied in the identification of urban centers [ 33 ], delineation of urban functional areas [ 34 ], extraction of urban built-up areas [ 35 ], and the delineation of urban–rural boundaries.
In our study, the total effect for all categories of working hours for healthcare professionals tended to be related to the occurrence of near-misses relative to the category 35–40 h/w, which did not reach statistical significance in our model but was slightly significant in the models taking into account such factors as recovery from fatigue or more complex model structures.
The HRQoL scores were shown to be lower in patients with CD compared with UC, but these differences were borderline significant [ 46 ].
We also observed an immediate increase in EBF during the hospital stay, and an increasing trend in receiving lactation counseling in the post-enrollment period.
Among them, the mean values of FVC were 0.311 and 0.245 in 2008 and 2018, respectively, showing a decreasing trend with a small fluctuation.
From 2009–2018, the slopes of the GPI of spring and autumn pastures and winter pastures were positive, showing an increasing trend, especially in spring and autumn pastures.
A positive value of Z s indicates an increasing trend and its negative value a descending trend.
Discussion and Policy Implication This research revealed an increasing trend in temperature and a decreasing trend in precipitation between 1980 and 2018 from inspection of the observed climatic records of the trans-boundary KRB.
Age group displayed a significant trend in six industries.
Nevertheless, an increasing trend of anemia has been recorded by the WHO between 2012 and 2019 among women of reproductive age and children under five years in Lebanon and Syria [ 3 ].
Precipitation and Hydrological Characteristics In the period from January 2015 to December 2017, the total precipitation in the Lake Paldang basin was 2924.1 mm, including 800.3 mm in 2015, 935.9 mm in 2016, and 1187.9 mm in 2017, which indicated an increasing trend since 2014 (790.1 mm) as shown in Figure 2 .
The average HRT was 16.6 d in 2015, 14.3 d in 2016, and 12.7 d in 2017, showing a decreasing trend.
Third, an increasing trend was observed with regard to what type of mobile apps addressing women victims of violence is considered more useful (“app for support”: 16.4% among students in their first course year versus 27.3% of the third (last) year ( p -value 0.0348)).
In the SAS region, SO 2 showed an increasing trend (up to 50%) in all the near-future scenarios and a continuous increase in the mid-future for the SSP5-8.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP2-4.5 scenarios ( Figure 4 a).
To this end, many studies on the scale and severity of alcohol abuse in South Korea have been conducted, and there has been an increasing trend toward longitudinal studies investigating abuse in recent years [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].
Additionally, the vulnerable , highly vulnerable, and extremely vulnerable levels all showed an increasing trend, with the area proportions increased by 7.44%, 14.20%, and 12.65%, respectively.
From more accurate statistical results, the vulnerability of the forest ecosystem showed a trend of gradually being aggravated.
The concentrations of Na + and SiO 2 showed an increasing trend.
A decreasing trend in disease activity among patients who underwent orthopedic surgeries was also reported [ 8 ].
The IORRA cohort [ 7 ], one of the largest registries in Japan, reported an improvement in disease activity, a decreasing number of surgeries with the widespread use of bDMARDs, and an increasing trend in arthroplasties.
As can be seen in Table 4 , for HA, when AIC was used as the selection criteria, a model with four variables was selected including age, negative experiences with technologies (marginally significant coefficient) and two of the PIADS dimensions, competence and self-esteem.
The analysis of the effect size showed a trend in which the spinal traction intervention prevented the increase of the thoracic angle during the workday.
Overall, there was an increasing trend in the emissions of BC, SO 2 , and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from 1980 to 2019.
Limitations A limitation of this study is that the parent study was not powered to detect differences in NNAL levels by home smoking ban category, although the percentages of nonsmokers with detectable NNAL levels did have a statistical trend in the hypothesized direction by home smoking ban category.
