Excerpts

Unlike in the bivariate analysis, the results for the “Other” ethnoracial category are no longer even marginally significant.

With the increase in the number of cooperatives, the membership size of cooperatives has shown a decreasing trend, showing a characteristic of “large group, small scale.” This is because cooperatives have set low minimum membership thresholds, and inappropriate support policies have created many “shell cooperatives” that seek only to obtain support funds without considering cooperative development and growth.

Therefore, with the improvement of the CCD level of EnR-ElR binary system, its marginal contribution to the overall CCD will also show a decreasing trend.

The results showed that workers used more antidepressants after the recession (13%), which contrasted with a decreasing trend of use before the recession and that this effect was stronger in high lay-off plants.

Association between sociodemographic variables with substance use and ACEs Substance use among emerging adults showed a highly significant association with socio-demographic variables such as the age of the participant, gender, year in which they are studying, type of educational institute, stream of their course, living arrangement, economic status of the family, age and source of substance use initiation, and substance use by siblings, family members and peer groups (p < 0.001).

The analysis of weight across different age groups revealed an interesting trend.

Conclusions This exploratory study revealed there was preliminary evidence that variety may lead to improved psychological responses to PA among college-age individuals, although findings should be interpreted with caution given the use of marginal significance.

There was a positive trend in caring adequately for patients and having access to protective gear.

The use of educational robotics has been an increasing trend in recent years because they are inexpensive, equipped with multi-functions, and well-received by students [ 13 ].

The eastern region’s Gini coefficient showed a trend of declining, increasing, and then decreasing again over the research period, making it noticeably bigger than that of the central and western areas.

A western blot of GPX-4 protein also showed a trend toward biphasic regulation, but this was also not significantly different from control levels ( Fig. 5C ).

During the period 1990–2021, ASIR, ASMR and ASDR declined in most of the 204 countries and territories in the world, with China showing the most significant downward trend, with the largest decline in ASIR, ASMR, and ASDR, and the Republic of Korea showing a significant decline, however, there are still about one-tenth countries and territories around the world, such as Turkmenistan, Zimbabwe, Georgia and Lesotho, also show an increasing trend ( Fig 4 ).

On the contrary, both the EAPC value and upper limit were less than 0, indicating a decreasing trend in ASR.

The vulnerability indices of all ECA districts showed a decreasing trend from 2013 to 2022 ( Fig 2 ), indicating a notable enhancement in the level of ecological sustainability.

The total ecological carbon sequestration showed an increasing trend (R 2 = 0.6346).

For example, giraffes living at zoos with public feeding opportunities spent less time browsing, more time in other feeding behaviors, and showed a trend of increased inactivity, suggesting these programs may negatively influence giraffe behavior.

Vessel strike scars were observed more frequently in juvenile whales (14.2%) than in adults (2.2%), in contrast to prior observations north of our study area in the Gulf of Maine, though the difference was of borderline significance (mean p -value 0.051, Fisher’s Exact tests on 1000 bootstrapped populations incorporating uncertainty in length measurements).

A p-value was considered highly significant if less than 0.001 and statistically significant if less than 0.05.

For the current intensity, the figure also shows a clear trend that increasing the current intensity increases, the surface hardness tends to decrease.

According to Fig 9a , as the size of the training set increased, the training time of all three methods showed an increasing trend, but the RGB-ROI method always had the highest training time.

Overall, we find significant or near-significant associations between academic outcomes and measures of SET and RME taken separately (with the exception of RME and reading score in kindergarten), which in our opinion still supports the use of a more comprehensive composite score.

It is important to note that although there may be significant individual variation and that we assume great circle shortest distances between stopovers, the key result is that at least half of all daylight hours are available to a whinchat to forage and rest even during migration legs.

There were significantly fewer stopovers in spring for Nigerian birds compared to Liberian birds (−1.0 ± 0.26, t = −3.8, P, 0.0004), but a similar number of stopovers for Liberian birds in autumn compared to spring (−0.3 ± 0.3, t = −0.9, P = 0.38), and a marginally significant difference in the change in the difference between spring and autumn across countries, with birds tagged in Nigeria increasing the number of stopovers in autumn, while they decreased for birds tagged in Liberia (change in difference, 0.72 ± 0.39, t = 1.8, P = 0.075; N = 92 complete spring or autumn passage periods, N = 51 birds; marginal R 2 = 0.16; Fig 5 ).

Meanwhile, the CLPM test showed that there were interactions between the three, and the effect sizes of the psychological pathways were all highly significant.

In addition, the proportion of S105-SP started to decrease under the increase of clinker proportion, and the slump showed a decreasing trend.
