Excerpts

Among health-related factors, believing in a traditional healer, reluctance to disclose health issues to family members, and self-rated health showed highly significant associations with elder abuse after controlling the covariates.

Urban population in Karnali province (AOR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.22-0.58, p = 0.001 and Sudurpaschim province (AOR=0.42, 95%CI=0.26-0.66, p=0.001) had lower odds of being overweight compared to Koshi province and this result is highly significant before and after Bonferroni correction.

; (3) all rock samples with different pre-existing fractures exhibit rock bridge breakthrough during creep failure, and the variation in fracture angle affects the failure mode; (4) and the long-term strength of the rock varies with changes in fracture angle and freeze-thaw cycle frequency, showing an increasing trend with greater fracture angles but a rapid decrease with increasing freeze-thaw cycles.

If zero was not included in the 95% CI, we interpreted this as a “strongly significant” association, and if the 85% CI did not overlap zero, we interpreted this as a “moderately significant” association.

The Average CAS has a positive trend with increasing pyrolysis temperature ( Fig 4 ), with values increasing from approximately 4.3 ± 0.3 in chars produced at 200 °C ( n = 6) to 4.8 ± 0.2 at 400 °C ( n = 26), 5.2 ± 0.1 at 600 °C ( n = 20), and 5.8 ± 0.1 at 1000 °C ( n = 4).

The remaining BPCA ratios in Fig 4 have a negative trend with increasing pyrolysis temperature.

As shown in Fig 1A , the total phenolic content was the highest in the fruit, and then exhibited a decreasing trend in the leaves, roots and stems, respectively.

Statistical bivariate analysis revealed highly significant relationships among the antibiotic-resistant isolates analyzed in this investigation.

An EAPC with a 95% CI entirely above zero indicates an increasing trend, while an EAPC with a 95% CI entirely below zero indicates a decreasing trend.

The research results show that during the forecast period, the scale of eligible early childhood education, the number of preschool children in the first three years, the scale of kindergarten construction, and the demand for full-time teachers and caregivers all showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing [ 29 ].

As shown in Table 5 , the inference time for each image is 0.19 seconds, which is only 0.01 seconds longer than the baseline, yet the performance improvement is highly significant.

Moreover, a decreasing trend was incorporated in the diameter of successive TZ branching orders in the cerebrovasculature model [ 14 , 60 ] ( Fig 3 (d)), resulting in blood flow velocity diminishing to less than 50% after passing each bifurcation point.

Outcomes on all three measures improved and all differences were statistically highly significant, with an effect size of 2.3 in the primary outcome of quality of life.

Non-musicians demonstrated a strong trend for enhanced auditory sensitivity for object sounds ( M = 2.34, SD = 0.69, 95% CI [2.10, 2.58]) compared to voices ( M = 2.05, SD = 0.61, 95% CI [1.84, 2.26]), t (34) = −2.031, p = 0.05, d = −0.34.

[ 20 ] speculated that mutations in the PDZK1 (603831) gene might be significant in causing urinary system abnormalities.

The results indicate an increasing trend in horizontal cutting resistance as the cutting speed increases.

The structural change values for ages 45 ~ 54 and 60 and over are negative overall, with a negative trend.

The structural change values for post-secondary and undergraduate education are positive, with a positive trend.

This indicates that the green TFP of smart cities decreases in the short term, while in the medium and long term it shows an increasing trend.

This indicates that the GTFP of the first batch of smart city pilots showed a decreasing trend in the early stage of policy implementation.

To address this, we used auto regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling to forecast an expected trend, allowing us to estimate both sudden and gradual changes during April 2015 and June 2018 (intervention months).

The haplotype network ( Fig 4B ) showed a trend of clustering according to genotype, with all Ace-1 SS haplotypes (formed by dead SS mosquitoes) grouped in one cluster and the Ace-1 RR and Ace-1 RS in another cluster.

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.
