The number of studies published annually on this topic was low and remained practically constant until 2005, after which the number of publications began to increase, achieving a highly significant increase in the final five years. 3.2.

Indeed, HR infants in the subsample seemed to show a small trend toward preferring the familiar trials over the novel ones at test.

Measuring O 3 seemed to be affected by temperature and RH, with a negative trend, except for a handful of sensors, while the effect of WS was more mixed.

Similarly, the unaffected hands of both the patients showed an increasing trend of TCT for IE and CE tasks of track 4 ( Table 4 ).

However, the results of the included studies are insufficient to indicate a favorable trend from the effects of BFR in the long term and follow-up; therefore, future studies are required to evaluate these periods in order to demonstrate whether its effects are maintained or improved with respect to high-load or aerobic exercises.

As regards to the ground workers, a decreasing trend in positivity percentage was noted; likely as a result of the trainings carried out, the ensuing greater consciousness of his or her own role following the training received, and greater awareness due to the regularly performed medical checks.

Hazardous air pollutants will show a decreasing trend as the level of green technological innovation increases.

If we consider the change in physical activity practiced before COVID-19 and during lockdown, a significant increasing trend (within-group comparison) of the frequencies was observed for younger age groups ( Z = 2.73; p < 0.01), while a decreasing trend was shown by subjects in the three older age groups.

However, one of the limitations of our approach is that the results produced are likely to be significant underestimates of the true burden of disease from transport.

In the period, weight and BMI were observed in an increasing trend in all urbanization trajectory groups, among both men and women.

Our data showed a trend toward higher LTA events for pPCI cases performed off-hours (04.01 PM to 00.00 AM) than cases performed on-hours (06.00 AM to 04.00 PM), which was in agreement with the recent study [ 36 ].

[ 31 ], who conducted a study with a sample of Spanish professional esports players, allowing to determine a clear trend regarding the body composition of the subjects, stating that players have mostly a normal weight, ruling out the prevalence of overweight and/or obesity.

The addition of data from the TPZ Questionnaire increased this percentage to 32%, which is on the borderline of significance.

Therefore, overall urban carbon emissions show an increasing trend. 4.2.2.

Moreover, an increasing trend of depression has been observed among people in their 20s and middle adults in Korea [ 4 ].

In addition, the risk of alcohol drinking was lower in patients with a longer period of abstinence before inclusion in the univariate analysis, as craving and other negative effects tended to decline over time after patients initiated abstinence [ 40 ], but this relationship became marginally non-significant in the multivariate model.

The results for the unemployment rate and poverty rate showed a negative trend.

A professional pharmacist consultation may bring many positive effects to the patient’s pharmacotherapy; therefore, their role is extremely significant.

Of these, relative abundance of the genus Oscillibacter demonstrated highly significant and strongly positive associations with both hippocampal and amygdala volumes.

Slightly significant correlations were obtained for pollen concentrations collected by both samplers, the automatic PoMo and the conventional Hirst-type; in both sites, the relationships were significant but weak, unlike the very strong ones that Oteros et al.

The interaction between WQS and sex was borderline significant ( Table 2 ; with 95% confidence interval based on the 100 holdout datasets: (−1.28, 5.13), with only 9% negative estimates).

The driving forces subsystem, as potential causes of risks and changes, often showed an increasing trend during the research period, and the driving effects on enhancing the Yangtze River Delta’s governance efficiency of water environment improved year by year.
