Parental perception of treatment options for mucopolysaccharidosis: a survey to bridge the gap for personalized medicine by Anna-Maria Wiesinger, Florian B. Lagler

“…The general attitudes strongly influenced decision-making regarding treatment options. While over 80% of respondents who held a positive attitude toward ERT, HSCT, and ITTs indicated they would opt for these therapies in both neuronopathic and non-neuronopathic cases, only about half of the parents with a favorable general view of gene therapy (GT) expressed a positive perception of its likelihood as a treatment option. …”

Carbon Emission Reduction and Coordination Strategies for New Energy Vehicle Closed-Loop Supply Chain under the Carbon Trading Policy by Yan Yin, Fengcai Liu

“…Results are as follows: (1) With the increasing maturity and perfection of enterprises’ carbon emission reduction technology, consumers’ demand for new energy vehicles will increase, and the effect will be more obvious when the system centralized decision-making. (2) Since the centralized decision is aimed at the total profit of the system and has the advantage of optimal order quantity, the total benefit of the supply chain is higher than that of the decentralized decision. …”

Investigating the blockchain technologies influences on the performance of road freight transportation management systems using network analysis technique by Ahmad Negravi, Omid Titidezh

“…Purpose: This study seeks to assess the significant effects of blockchain, as a new decentralized technology, in waste reduction and performance improvement of Freight Transportation Management Systems (FTMS).Methodolog: The network analysis technique is used as one of the most valid multi-criteria decision-making models. We developed this model in four levels with four main criteria of performance wastes (including cost, time, trust and security and safety), and fourteen sub-criteria, considering the blockchain technologies in four areas of digital infrastructure, visibility, transparency, and smart contracts.Findings: Findings indicate that each of these technologies, individually and collectively, has reduced the waste of road freight management systems. …”
