Similarly, the magnitude of traffic accident at East Gojjam Zone appeared to show an increasing trend [ 26 ].

We found that “happiness” was a significant ( P = 0.015) predictor of hedonic ratings, while “surprise/fear” ( P = 0.057), “neutral” ( P = 0.087), and “embarrassment” ( P = 0.086) were marginally significant predictors.

Moderately significant heterogeneity was noted between the RCTs.

The overall spatial distribution of the UHI showed a trend of gradual movement to the southwest and was accompanied by obvious diffusion and dilution statuses.

The model was highly significant (ANOVA gave highly significant F- statistics, with P value significant at 5% level of significance).

Although some prefectures have low ecological efficiency and are located in prominent inefficient areas, such as Changji Prefecture, Aksu Prefecture, Kashi Prefecture, Hotan, and Hami City, it does not affect their outstanding performance in some years, and total factor productivity shows an increasing trend.

The small sample size here should be kept in mind; an apparent trend may have become significant with a larger sample size, reflecting the literature demonstrating a social gradient for both spontaneous miscarriage and termination of pregnancy rates [ 13 , 14 , 21 – 23 ].

The board stockholders and board expertise are moderately significant.

Although there were serious concerns that the recent expansion of the Suez Canal by 2015 could trigger a huge wave of invasions [ 6 ], the annual rate of introductions in the Mediterranean seems to be in a decreasing trend, currently with no rational explanations, except for the survey intensity over years [ 7 ].

An increasing trend in the number of ship-borne species is evident between the periods 1990–2010 in the Levantine Sea, but its importance in the species introduction was dropped from 32% to 22% in the last decade.

Loadings of 0.50 or greater are considered practically significant, as in item 4 [ 159 , 160 ].

ICU patients treated with triple therapy showed a trend towards more oliguric or anuric kidney injury.

MNND values varied among locations and years and did not suggest an obvious trend; however, SDMNND indicated that individual variability was substantial for MNND.

Seven of these concentration differences were highly significant, the exceptions being TNFα, with high variability in the sample, and both neopterin and IL-6 with CSF concentrations that were close to those in blood.

Refusal to be transported to hospital following overdose events when emergency services were called showed an increasing trend over time.

This suggests the loss may be unspecific, at least we did not observe an obvious trend in the size of EVs dictating susceptibility to cryo-mediated lysis in the specific size range measured in the present study (i.e. ~190–500 nm).

Additionally, we found a positive trend of cumulative DPN prevalence over time from 1984 to 2019.

We found an increasing trend of cumulative DPN prevalence over time.

The highly significant increases in depression recorded among women who stop exclusive breastfeeding early may warrant a closer look at this population when screening for postpartum depression.

In addition, an expected trend was observed between protein concentration (which is an indirect measure of cell lysis efficiency) and the cell envelope composition of bacterial cells.

Similarly, no significant differences were found between males and females in any of the TICS subtests, although a slight trend in favour of males was noted in all scores.

The sample size was indeed sufficient to detect a highly significant effect on the primary efficacy endpoint with a relatively narrow confidence interval.

Nevertheless, we detected a marginally significant and programmatically meaningful difference in yield of TB child contacts between study arms.

N limitation induced a strong and highly significant decrease in root biomass.

Altitude and seasonal weather We found highly significant positive correlation between altitude and the prevalence of DWV, BQCV and SBV in adult bees.
