Evolutionary game analysis of Arctic shipping black carbon emission reduction strategies based on government regulation and port fee differential policies by Xinli Qi, Zhenfu Li, Yiran Zhang, Qiqi Zhang, Chunrui Song

“…The results show that $${E}_{8}(\mathrm{1,1,1})$$ E 8 ( 1,1,1 ) is the optimal steady-state case for the system, which means active government regulation along the Arctic, implementation of port fee differential policies by port, and active emission reductions by shipping companies. During the game process, each participant’s strategy is influenced by the initial choices made by other participants. …”

Closed Reduction in a “Hyperextended Supine Position” with Percutaneous Transsacral-Transiliac and Iliosacral Screw Fixation for Denis Zone III Sacral Fractures by Hideto Irifune, Suguru Hirayama, Nobuyuki Takahashi, Mitsumasa Chiba, Toshihiko Yamashita

“…The sacral kyphotic angle was reduced by 18.06° ± 15.26° (mean kyphotic angle: pre-OP, 39.44° ± 20.56°; post-OP, 21.38° ± 7.39°), and fracture translation was reduced by 5.93 ± 4.95 mm (mean fracture translation: pre-OP, 8.69 ± 8.03 mm; post-OP 2.75 ± 3.97 mm). The mean initial Gibbon’s score was 3.00 ± 1.32. Among 15 patients with a follow-up duration of over 12 months, the mean reduction loss in the sacral kyphotic angle was 5.87° ± 10.40° and was 1.00 ± 3.00 mm for the fracture translation. …”
