Meanwhile, the variable 'distance to the closest city' was divided in three classes, to detect the possible effect of remoteness (implying less extraction pressure and thus more available timber on the one hand, and more difficult access on the other, which we hypothesised could favour intermediate distances).
There was a small but statistically significant effect of remoteness on physical impairment (accounting for under one percent of the explained variation), which disappeared when cohort membership was accounted for (see Additional file 1: Table S1, β = 0.02, p = 0.404).
One-way ANOVA revealed a small significant effect of remoteness category on social capital ratings (F 2, 1202)= 6.93, p <.001, eta-squared =.011) with Scheffé post hoc tests indicating that participants from inner regional areas (N = 484, mean = 9.06, SD = 2.13) reported significantly lower (p <.001) social capital than those from remote/very remote areas (N = 285, mean = 9.65, SD = 1.99).
However, when patterns of association are of interest, such as the mediating effects of geographic remoteness on determinants of mental health outcomes, combining datasets may provide a more systematic and thorough investigation.
Unified only by his flair for the fantastic, the films reflect with typically Fellinian irony on a variety of postmodern topics: the role of the male in an increasingly feminist society, the infantilizing effects of television, the remoteness of artistic creativity from political reality, and the growing homogenization of popular culture.
Interpretations of the lack of main effects of age and remoteness and the main effect of social support on the likelihood of high psychological distress are more difficult in the presence of their significant interactions.
While it is unclear why some studies of psychological distress do not show gender effects, we also observed no differential effect of gender by remoteness, suggesting that community remoteness was not a factor in the lack of gender effect, as previously proposed [ 40].
Hierarchical linear regressions were used to assess: 1) the impact of cardiovascular and affective conditions on physical and psychological quality of life impairment; and 2) any influence of remoteness on these effects (N = 4364).
There were no two- or three-way interaction effects of cardiovascular, affective conditions and remoteness on physical impairment (Steps 5 and 6).
But, judging by the number of drone operators who have been treated for alcoholism, depression, and other outcomes of post-traumatic stress, even this degree of remoteness can't insulate the perpetrator from the effects of killing.
