Excerpts

The results indicated that Pop showed significant correlation with POPsm, and GDP showed extremely significant correlation with GDPsm ( Table 10 ).

However, the correlation analysis showed that the association between family social capital and structural social capital was only marginally significant at the 0.1 level.

We noticed that when both individual and community-level social capital variables were present, college education exhibited a marginally significant, negative effect on self-rated mental health in rural areas.

More sitting time during leisure was associated with elevated HR ( p = 0.02), and showed a trend towards reduced HRV.

Overall, the observed effect sizes were small and the marginally significant p -values must be interpreted cautiously due to the risk of type 2 errors.

Since the majority of data belong to this stage, the learning model showed a trend toward learning the data in this stage.

Notably, S CO 2 showed no obvious increase at 5 cm of IPC length when peak voltage was higher than 15 kV (40.8% to 46.2% at 24 kV), whereas the R T maintained an increasing trend.

At >16 destinations/km 2 , the association was weak (large 95% confidence intervals due to a low number of observations) and showing a positive trend ( Figure S1 , left bottom).

When comparing up- and downstream feeding rates of Gammarus pulex for seven days, relative to the WWTPs, no significant acute effects were detected, although a slight trend of increased feeding rate downstream of the WWTP Aachen-Soers was observed.

Only two borderline significant associations were observed: one negative borderline association between area of parks contained or intersected by the buffer and self-reported leisure-time brisk walking ( p = 0.077); and another positive borderline association between distance of walk-friendly routes contained or intersected by buffer and OM-MVPA ( p = 0.052).

[ 18 ] found that Chinese fields emitted 6.4~12.0 Tg C per year within a continuous flooding scenario under 1990 climate land-use conditions by modeling CH 4 emissions using DNDC, while southern China showed larger CH 4 emissions than other parts, and in another paper, an increasing trend of CH 4 emission of rice paddies in China from 2000 to 2020 by different management scenarios was also found [ 19 ].

Spatially, the CH 4 fluxes showed a decreasing trend from west to east, and the climatic tendencies in the northern and western parts were higher.

The effects were clearly significant for end-expiratory flows and remained visible up to 24 h after exposure.

Second, given the association between higher quit rates and vape shops (relative to retail stores), this shift from retail store to vape shops could be viewed as a positive trend.

also described an apparent trend when comparing residents below and not below Canal St.: the former had stronger associations between location and both any new-onset and persistent new-onset respiratory symptoms [ 9 ].

Nevertheless, a decreasing trend of Hg was determined for the same time period in Atlantic cod from Iceland and the Faroe islands [ 7 ].

The results show that DFAA occurred more frequently in summer, with an increasing trend from northwest to southeast of the LRB, basically concentrated in the downstream plain area, and the irrigation area.

Given the relatively small sample size and large confidence intervals ( Table 3 ), the borderline significant associations could be a result of measurement error, or represent a true null effect.

However, if the grazing pressure is high in the aquatic ecosystem, there might be significant biomagnification of testosterone along the food chain.

Occupational exposure to the gradient field may be significant, especially near the bore opening.

A weakly significant association (ORs were close to 1) between Zn, Mg, and Ca with preterm birth was observed for the raw data but disappeared upon adjustments. 4.

There are reports on a decreasing trend in blood levels of contaminants for some of the Arctic populations, indicating regulation through legislation as well as health interventions are working [ 12 , 36 , 37 ].

Firstly, annual publications concerning mercury in the Amazon presented an increasing trend over the years, and Brazilian public universities were identified as being the top four institutions that published most about mercury in the Amazon.

Again, there was a clear female disadvantage for atrial fibrillation [ 27 ] and diabetes [ 32 ], but the excess female relative risk for smoking was small (6%) and marginally non-significant [ 33 ].

However, two other scales, which are important for family interaction, that is “emotionality” and “affectivity of relations”, showed six partially significant and eight significant or very significant correlations. 4.
