Excerpts

Third, attrition analysis showed a number of highly significant differences between drop-outs and completers, which reduces the external validity of the study.

Abstract As a destructive and economic disaster in the world, drought shows an increasing trend under the continuous global climate change and adverse health effects have been reported.

In this study, we observed a decreasing trend in the PM 2.5 concentrations on the pedestrian road with increasing wind velocity, regardless of the planting type.

The results indicated that, at P-1, the PM 2.5 concentration portrayed an increasing trend with the increase in the wind velocity in the wind direction of 0°, regardless of the planting type.

There was a marginally significant interaction effect for exercise but none for eating and sleep.

It should be noted that the environmental sustainability subsystem presents an increasing trend, but with an interruption in 2019.

Overall, the CV values of the four subsystems presented a decreasing trend from 2011 to 2020 with fluctuations, indicating that the differences in the scores of the four well-being subsystems became narrow.

We find that from 2011 to 2019, overall Moran’s I values with the Rook matrix present a slightly increasing trend with fluctuations, and dramatically went up in 2020.

While not significant, the control variable age cohort (45–54, 55–64, 65+) had a p value below 0.1 but above 0.05 (which is sometimes referred to as ‘approaching significance’); which indicates a slight but not significant trend where those in the younger age brackets had lower turnover intention scores.

However, there appears to be a nonsignificant trend toward facilitated cognitive processing in standing compared with sitting, particularly for the incongruent stimuli and the Stroop effect.

The literature also supports these ideas, showing an extremely significant difference between the pandemic period and the pre-pandemic period in terms of the number of patients who presented severe symptoms [ 5 ].

The annual prevalence across years had a decreasing trend of unemployment over time stated Näsi et al., [ 19 ] whereas the prevalence of sickness absence had more variation, with a stable disability pension.

It is important to note that in the case of healthy eating and its relationship with being overweight, only a marginally significant covariation is observed. 4.

(1) The LULC of the Qinghai Lake Basin showed a trend that “the area of grassland, cultivated land, and unused land continued to decrease, while the area of other LULC types increased” from 2000 to 2020, according to the study’s findings.

This value was calculated using the following equation: (7) ρ = median x j − x i j − i , 1 < i < j < n where x i , x j are the NPP time series; ρ is the slope; ρ < 0 denotes a downward trend in the time series NPP, whereas ρ > 0 denotes an increasing trend in NPP.

At this stage, there are no more topics related to the epidemic, and there is a positive trend in general.

Serum magnesium concentration showed an increasing trend from the beginning to the end of exercise during MOD and HI sessions that did not reach statistical significance (time effect: p = 0.057).

Giving up reliance on non-renewable energy sources is an important trend in the economies of many countries.

There was a significant trend in the association of bladder cancer risk and rotating night shift work duration when restricting the follow-up to the first half ( p _trend = 0.03).

According to the results in 2000, water supply service, carbon sequestration service and culture service showed an increasing trend in Jiangsu Province, whereas cooling service and biodiversity showed a declining trend.

The water supply service of Nanjing and Suzhou showed a trend of fluctuation and rise.

These features might be significant advantages for SMEs in terms of good green management [ 15 ].

The result of the cumulative greenhouse effect (year-by-year) on global warming needs to be reflected on a longer time scale, so LST in the study area has a small trend change from 2010 to 2020, but global warming is indisputably happening.

A highly significant difference in Fe level was observed between eel (3.23 mg/kg) and all the other fish species and followed the following pattern: roach > bleak > carp > rudd > perch > eel.

From the perspective of time evolution, the comprehensive benefits of the PRD’s TEE system showed an increasing trend, in which the benefit index of the tourism and economy subsystem increased more rapidly, while the eco-environment subsystem was relatively unstable.
