Summary: This study found that nurses' teamwork competencies were primarily related to emotional intelligence leadership, particularly in terms of nurse managers' behavior towards patients and other staff members. Nurse managers need to be role models for nursing staff, recognizing that the way they relate to others influences the teamwork competency of their nursing staff.

Summary: When a major disruption occurs in a rail network, it is necessary to assign safe locations for each train to hold during the disruption in order to prevent network disconnection and facilitate quick recovery of the plan upon restart. This study provides the necessary and sufficient conditions for safe place assignment and translates them into constraints of the problem. Computational results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in returning optimal assignments in real-life scenarios.

Summary: When major disruptions occur in a rail network, it is crucial to determine safe locations for trains to hold during the disturbance in order to maintain network connectivity and enable quick plan recovery. This study provides necessary and sufficient conditions for safe place assignment and translates them into constraints of a suitable binary formulation. Computational results on real-life instances show that the approach can effectively return optimal assignments within a fraction of a second.

Summary: This study collects 7 years of unplanned disruption data in Hong Kong and analyzes the factors affecting operation delays and affected areas. The results show that factors such as time, weather conditions, signal control system, line types, line operation direction, disruption location, the number of affected stations, and disruption types have significant impacts on operation delays and affected areas.

Summary: This study aims to determine the level of ethical leadership perceived by nurses in nurse managers and examine its relationship with conflict management strategies. The findings reveal that ethical leadership significantly influences the choice of conflict management strategies. The communicative ethics subscale has a moderate degree of explanatory power in conflict management.

Summary: The study found that leadership task transitions can be beneficial in quickly reallocating effort to alleviate environmental pressure, but they can also disrupt internal task cycles. Rapidly restoring disrupted cycles can mitigate harm, but this restoration is not always successful in cases of high cycle activity or disruptions in multiple MTS areas.

Summary: This paper presents a systematic literature review on the current state of AI in railway transportation. The review focuses on various sub-domains and analyzes the research trends and focuses. The findings indicate that AI research in rail maintenance and inspection is prominent, while there is limited or no research on AI for rail transport policy and revenue management. The study highlights the potential of AI in tackling railway challenges and suggests future research directions in advanced combined AI applications, decision making, uncertainty handling, and cybersecurity.

Summary: The paper proposes a techno-economic process for energy storage in electrical trains using supercapacitors to reduce energy consumption, along with a power supply system that includes photovoltaic, wind energy sources, and batteries. Supercapacitors have high power characteristics and fast charging times suitable for trains, and an energy management method is suggested to control them. Through simulations using MATLAB-Simulink, the proposed powertrain and control strategy are shown to be suitable for both the train and the station.
