Published: November 2024

The bachelor thesis is focused on new generation aircraft concepts, analysing new design solutions and technologies. At the same time, the thesis assesses the current state of development of aviation technology and prospectively presents new facts that can be expected in the near future in the context of civil aviation. In the perspective of new design solutions for transport aeroplanes, it first analyses the advantages resulting from a new type of blended wing body and transonic truss-braced wing design. In the context of conventional configuration aeroplanes, it discusses aeroplanes from the private jet sector and one specific piston engine aeroplane that competes with small jets in terms of its performance characteristics. The thesis also deals with urban air mobility, in the form of eVTOL flying vehicles, which aim to provide air transport in large cities and then compares them with each other in terms of their operational parameters. Finally, the thesis discusses the potential return of supersonic air transport, in the form of a new supersonic transport aircraft.
PRINCIPIOLOGIA NORMATIVA E PAMPRICIPIOLOGISMO: uma proposta à luz da teoria processual neoinstitucionalista do direito
Authors: Vieira Santos Bruno Eduardo
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho se dedica a analisar os princípios enquanto normas jurídicas e sua aplicação, debatendo o fenômeno do pamprincipiologismo, termo cunhado por Lenio Luiz Streck para definir a livre criação de princípios divorciada de sua origem natural e efetivamente normativa. Após trabalhar alguns exemplos dessa prática, propõe-se a utilização do processo nos moldes da teoria processual neoinstitucionalista do direito como forma de superação desse problema e de se alcançar um verdadeiro Estado Democrático de Direito. Conclui-se, a partir de uma análise da literatura jurídica, que os princípios não podem ser criados da livre vontade de cada juiz ou jurista, mas deve obedecer a regular criação normativa que, na esteira da teoria em comento, se dará de forma processualizada. O artigo é dividido, além dos capítulos de praxe (introdução, conclusão e referências), em quatro tópicos, nos quais serão estudados o conceito de princípios e sua normatividade, o problema do pamprincipiologismo e alguns de seus exemplos e, por fim, a teoria processual neoinstitucionalista do direito e sua influência como solução para o fenômeno em análise. O método empregado será o dedutivo, utilizando-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.
TARUFFO AND THE PRAGMATIST PHILOSOPHY OF SUSAN HAACK
Authors: Rau Farías Horacio Ulises
Published: November 2024

An exposition is made of some fundamental aspects of classical philosophical pragmatism, represented by C.S. Peirce and William James, and then some ontological and epistemological positions of the English neopragmatist Susan Haack are made explicit, to contrast them with the ontological and epistemological positions on facts of the Italian jurist Michele Taruffo. From this contrast, broad coincidences can be extracted in the ontological sphere, identifying both with a realist and synechist metaphysical stance. They also have great coincidences in the epistemological sphere, considering that language does not exhaust the description of the world, and both adopt a correspondentist thesis on truth, moving away from the sceptical and irrationalist attitudes held by postmodernist authors, such as those of Richard Rorty. There is a difference in some of the conceptual foundations of realism held by both, and that is with respect to Nelson Goodman's irrealism: for Haack, her own metaphysical choices distance her from such a conception, but Taruffo explicitly assumes the important relativistic charge of Goodman's conception of possible worlds.
El campo jurídico en Uruguay
Authors: Trujillo Henry
Published: November 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es avanzar en la comprensión de la dinámica del campo jurídico en Uruguay. Para ello, en este apartado se presentará una breve introducción al concepto de campo jurídico. A continuación se realizará una descripción de la estructura general del campo entre 1985 y la actualidad. Posteriormente se explorarán cuatro características relevantes del Poder Judicial, entendido como un subcampo: el uso del presupuesto como elemento de presión gubernamental, las características de la carrera judicial, su uso como elemento de disciplina dentro del organismo y la estratificación informal entre materias civiles y no civiles. Este último punto nos permitirá establecer una conexión con lo que parece ser el principal debate en el campo jurídico contemporáneo: la controversia entre iuspositivistas y neoconstitucionalistas. En las consideraciones finales, sostendremos que el campo jurídico ha aumentado su diferenciación interna desde, al menos, el fin de la dictadura. Esta diferenciación puede estar asociada a una dispersión de posiciones en la producción dogmática. En esta dispersión, el debate entre iuspositivistas y neoconstitucionalistas refleja las posiciones tomadas en torno a la principal falla en el campo, la que separa el polo dominante del polo dominado, polos cuyos perfiles aún no están claros. El neoconstitucionalismo trae necesariamente una mayor apertura del campo a las influencias de corrientes de opinión, con efectos que pueden considerarse positivos, pero que pueden tener la consecuencia no deseada de debilitar la independencia judicial y, con ella, toda la legitimidad del sistema.
A INCLUSÃO DO TRABALHADOR COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO PODER JUDICIÁRIO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Souza Nogueira Sâmara Christina , DA CUNHA FERST MARKLEA , Nahamias Melo Sandro
Published: November 2024

Dados do Conselho Nacional de Justiça demonstram que, mesmo com a garantia legal de reserva de percentual de vagas de cargos e empregos públicos às pessoas com deficiência, o número de servidores com algum tipo de deficiência nos quadros do Poder Judiciário é inexpressivo. Assim, esse estudo tem como objetivo analisar a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no âmbito do poder judiciário. Utilizando-se do método dedutivo, descritivo e explicativo, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise quantitativa dos dados contidos no relatório Diagnóstico das Pessoas com Deficiência no Poder Judiciário publicado pelo Conselho Nacional de Justiça em 2022. A partir da análise dos dados sobre a participação da pessoa com deficiência nos quadros funcionais do Poder Judiciário, e da revisão doutrinária sobre barreiras enfrentadas no cotidiano das pessoas com deficiência foi possível concluir que a mera reserva legal de vagas nos concursos públicos não tem sido suficiente para a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no Poder Judiciário, sendo a ausência de acessibilidade no meio ambiente do trabalho um dos grandes obstáculos a ser superado. Como contribuição teórica tem-se a análise da legislação sobre o direito ao trabalho da pessoa com deficiência e da reserva legal de vagas em concursos públicos. E, como contribuição prática, servirá de suporte para a tomada de decisão de gestores públicos e privados na promoção da acessibilidade no meio ambiente de trabalho.

Authors: Wagle Laxman , Regmi Dhiraj Raj , Regmi Sabita
Published: November 2024

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a significant complication of bariatric surgery, but its frequency and outcomes are not well-studied. If EPI is not diagnosed, it can result in nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, and acute kidney damage. Our patient, a 47-year-old woman, underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery due to morbid obesity four years ago and lost contact with outpatient follow-ups. She came to us presenting chronic diarrhea and fatigue and was diagnosed with chronic pancreatic exocrine deficiency based on a low fecal elastase level. After starting her on pancreatic enzymes, her symptoms resolved. It is crucial to maintain a high degree of suspicion in order to diagnose EPI in patients who have undergone RYGB. The fecal elastase test, which is both reliable and inexpensive, is an effective diagnostic tool for EPI; prompt treatment can alleviate symptoms within days.
Data donation of personal physical activity trackers

Published: November 2024

Physical inactivity is a growing worldwide concern. Population monitoring of physical activity (PA) is generally done using questionnaires, yet recently there has been a strong interest in more objective forms of measurement using wearable activity trackers. Depending on the prevalence of personal activity trackers, respondents could be invited to share the data from their own devices. Adherence to PA guidelines could then be determined with the help of the donated data. In this study, we explored two different methods of data donation to measure PA: uploading of spreadsheets and manual copying of data into questionnaires. Next to the response and representativity of those willing to donate, we compared the adherence to the PA guidelines determined using the different methods. The results showed that the prevalence of personal activity trackers is still limited and biased with age, education and adherence to the PA guidelines. The majority of tracker owners were willing to copy their data in a questionnaire, whereas uploading a spreadsheet proved to be difficult. The sample actually able to donate the required data is small and selective and therefore population monitoring of PA using donated data of personal trackers should currently be regarded as unfeasible.

Using the Mathematical Attitudes and Practices Assessment Feedback to Guide Mathematics Learning
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Kim Chul Min , Kim Sun Hee
Published: November 2024

If we assess students' math learning, we should provide useful information to help them learn math. In this regard, the assessment feedback of mathematical attitudes and practices should guide their subsequent learning. This study examined how the assessment results of mathematical attitudes and practice guide math learning. When 2 teachers and 8 high school students were asked to judge the student's mathematical attitudes and practices, students tended to judge their own attitudes and practical competencies more likely than teachers to the assessment results. In addition, after eight weeks of mathematics learning based on the feedback of the attitude and practice test, positive changes were found in the types of mathematical attitudes and practical competencies and their math achievement. Through this, we suggest that the mathematical attitudes and practices online test should be extended to schools, as well as the follow-up studies on the individual instruction, large-scale quantitative research, and rich guidance material development on fostering mathematical attitudes and practices.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Kim Rae Yeong , Yoon Ji-young , Han Sooyun
Published: November 2024

This study analyzed the impact of students' perceptions of teachers' instruction methods on changes in mathematics interest and self-efficacy, using panel data from the 4th to 9th years of the Gyeonggi Education Panel Study. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify student-level and school-level variables affecting students' perceptions of each instruction method, including expository instruction, questioning instruction, discovery and inquiry-based learning, learning through discussion, and collaborative learning. An analysis based on the latent change score model was performed to determine the longitudinal aspects of students' math interest and self-efficacy, alongside the impact of their perceptions of instruction methods on change scores of math interest and self-efficacy. The results revealed that students' perception of teachers' instruction methods is influenced by various student-level and school-level factors, with effects varying based on the type of instruction method. Also, it was found that students' interest and self-efficacy in mathematics tend to decrease as they progress through grades, while their perception of teachers’ instruction method have a positive effect on their interest and self-efficacy regardless of the type of instruction method. This study underscores the significance of understanding the impact of students’ perception of instruction methods on changes in their math interest and self-efficacy, using the latent change score model.
Current difficulties in the organization of infant feeding and opportunities to overcome them
Authors: Grigorуev K.I. , Vykhristyuk O.F. , Bogomaz L.V.
Published: November 2024

Most women are motivated to breastfeed, many for more than 1 year, while not all women received information about breastfeeding techniques, possible difficulties and methods of overcoming them from health workers. The vast majority of lactating women face difficulties in breastfeeding (difficulties in the technique of attachment to the breast, cracks, lactostasis, mastitis). The most vulnerable group of children in terms of maintaining breastfeeding is premature babies, for whom the issues of maintaining breastfeeding are especially acute. Conclusion-suggestion: it is necessary to train the staff of medical organizations on practical issues of breastfeeding support in order to overcome difficulties for nursing mothers and maintain long-term breastfeeding as a guarantee of the health of the younger generation. Natural feeding has significant advantages over artificial. It is not for nothing that breast milk is called “living tissue / matter”, as it is able to change the composition and adapt to the current needs of the child, depending on the time of day, lactation period and even the sex of the baby. With major changes in infant formula ranges, the withdrawal of a number of leading baby food concerns due to sanctions, and promising attempts at import substitution, healthcare professionals need sources of up-to-date information.

Published: November 2024

El propósito principal de este estudio buscó identificar los factores de la adaptación post-operatoria de pacientes colostomizados en cinco hospitales de Santiago (Chile), durante 1987-1995. La adaptación de los pacientes fue medida mediante la Ostomy Adjustment Scale de Olbrisch (1983). Para modelar las variables principales fueron elaboradas tres ecuaciones de regresión múltiple. Con el propósito de eliminar la espureidad en la medición se controlaron el sexo, la edad y el tiempo transcurrido desde la operación. Se logró identificar efectos sobre la adaptación de los pacientes de algunas variables socioeconómicas como la disponibilidad de previsión social; variables psicosociales como la pérdida de autoimagen o el nivel de apoyo social percibido. El hallazgo más importante expresó que la adaptación del paciente a la colostomía depende principalmente del nivel detectado de autocuidado.
A Non-Pastoral Moral Revolution: An Interpretation of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival
Authors: Marzouki Nadia
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This essay offers an attempt at understanding the specific intervention of the “Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival,” launched by Bishop William J. Barber II and Reverend Liz Theoharis in 2016. It demonstrates that the “politics of illegibility” that the Campaign practices works toward redefining the relationship among morality, religion, and politics in the United States and beyond. The Spirit-led and democratic-oriented moral revival that the Campaign envisions allows for a redirection of American democracy through the stringing of new types of relations across racial, class, gender, and generational boundaries. Fusion politics, the key idea underlying the Campaign’s theory of change, is the ingredient of a theology of confusion, rather than of redemption. The essay looks at the intervention of the Campaign in the US context while opening perspectives to thinking about its diasporic potential beyond the US, and what hinders that potential. Resumen: Este ensayo ofrece un intento de comprender la intervención específica de la “Campaña de los pobres: un llamado nacional al renacimiento moral”, lanzada por el obispo William J. Barber II y la reverenda Liz Theoharis en 2016. En él se demuestra que la “política de la ilegibilidad” que las prácticas de la Campaña apuntan a redefinir la relación entre la moral, la religión y la política en los Estados Unidos y más allá. El renacimiento moral impulsado por el Espíritu y orientado hacia la democracia que la Campaña imagina permite una redirección de la democracia estadounidense a través de la creación de nuevos tipos de relaciones más allá de las fronteras raciales, de clase, de género y generacionales. La política de fusión, la idea clave que subyace a la teoría del cambio de la Campaña, es el ingrediente de una teología de la confusión, más que de la redención. El ensayo analiza la intervención de la Campaña en el contexto estadounidense al tiempo que abre perspectivas para pensar sobre su potencial diaspórico más allá de los Estados Unidos y lo que obstaculiza ese potencial.

Published: November 2024

Sacred forests are traditional management systems aimed at biodiversity conservation, yet few studies focus on the mammalian fauna of these ecosystems. This study aims to assess mammal diversity in the Gbétitapéa sacred forest to promote this endogenous conservation approach. Specifically, it seeks to identify the mammal species present in this forest through local population surveys and on-foot surveys using linear transects and reconnaissance walks. Results show the presence of 13 mammal species across five orders (Rodents, Carnivores, Primates, Artiodactyls, and Bats), with Lowe's Monkey (Cercopithecus lowei) being the most abundant. All identified species are classified as Least Concern (LC) except for Lowe's Monkey, classified as Vulnerable (VU), and the Lesser Spot-nosed Monkey (Cercopithecus petaurista), classified as Near Threatened (NT) according to the IUCN Red List. Mammal diversity is closely linked to religious and cultural belief systems that shape conservation attitudes, practices, and policies. Integrating these cultural dimensions into conservation efforts could yield more sustainable and effective biodiversity conservation outcomes.

Authors: Angieliza Dominguez Villanueva
Published: November 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant global health challenge, contributing to approximately 1.4 million deaths in 2019. As the prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) rises, effective management strategies, particularly hemodialysis and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) care, become paramount. This systematic review aims to evaluate various nurse-led patient education interventions focused on enhancing self-care practices and reducing complications associated with AVF. A comprehensive literature search across CINAHL Complete and PubMed yielded 344 articles, of which only six met the inclusion criteria, highlighting the selective nature of the review process. All included studies employed quantitative methods, encompassing diverse educational approaches such as brochures, multi-method techniques, and instructional modules, involving a total of 212,372 participants. The findings demonstrate that effective patient education significantly improves knowledge of AVF care, reduces anxiety, enhances the ability to identify infection symptoms, and positively influences vascular access outcomes. Thematic synthesis revealed common patterns and themes across the studies, emphasizing the importance of tailored educational strategies in improving self-care behaviors among hemodialysis patients. This review underscores the critical role of healthcare professionals, especially nurses, in implementing diverse educational interventions that cater to individual patient needs, ultimately improving clinical outcomes and quality of life for individuals with AVF undergoing hemodialysis. Future research should explore integrated education programs to further enhance the effectiveness of patient education in this population.

Published: November 2024

Production of pepper (Capsicum annuum) is reduced by poor stand as a result of poor germination due to physiological dormancy of the seed. Therefore, a laboratory experiment was carried out to evaluate the response of sweet pepper to pre-sowing treatments, with the objective of improving seed germination and growth. The experiment used Completely Randomised Design (CRD) with four treatments replicated four times. The treatments were pre-soaking in water for 24 hours before planting; pre-chilling at 100C for 7 days before planting; pre-soaking in Potassium nitrate (KNO3) at 2.4g per 1.2 liters distilled water for 24 hours and; untreated seed (control). The parameters measured were days to 50% germination, final germination % (FG%), speed of germination, mean germination time (MGT), radicle, plumule, seedling length, and seedling vigor index. The results showed that the pre-sowing treatment of seed with KNO3 and pre-soaking in water significantly (p < 0.01) increased germination percent of sweet pepper seeds. Pre-chilling and no treatment of sweet pepper seed resulted in significant reduction of final germination percentage, radicle, plumule and seedling lengths and seedling vigor index. Results also showed an increase in number of abnormal and dead seed were pre-chilling and no treatments were used. Basing on these findings, farmers are recommended to pre-soak sweet pepper seed in KNO3 and water before sowing to enhance seed germination.

Breaking Down the Metrics: A Comparative Analysis of LLM Benchmarks
Authors: Valentina Porcu  , Aneta Havlínová
Published: November 2024

Due to the fast advancement in large language models (LLMs), the natural language processing (NLP) technology domain has witnessed a massive change. It has brought ground breaking developments in how machines understand and generate human language. However, even with these advancements, it remains hard to objectively compare and evaluate LLMs' performance because various benchmarks and metrics are used in the assessment. Such a method requires this study's writers to conduct a comparative analysis of various benchmark LLMs to explain the viability of different evaluation metrics. Analyzing the recognized standards, including GLUE, SuperGLUE, and SQuAD, reveals weaknesses and potential in the present evaluating systems. It embraces quantitative assessments of model performances and benchmarking and critical evaluations of benchmark designs and their scope. The paper discusses methodological issues in benchmarking research and explains that current measures are insufficient and lack comprehensive evaluation patterns. The conclusions of this research underline the significance of creating fully integrated and efficient reference sets that match the rate of innovation in LLM ability and inform other studies and the overall subsequent advancement of more sophisticated and flexible language models.

Authors: Noer Ulfah  , Nova Andriani Hepitaria  , Mulyati
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The maxillary frenulum can cause aesthetic problems or jeopardize orthodontic results in cases of central diastema, causing relapse after treatment. One of the etiologic factors of central diastema persistence is an aberrant frenulum. The most common way to diagnose frenulum attachment is with the blanch test. One of the treatments for aberrant frenulum is frenectomy. Frenectomy can reduce the risk of relapse from central diastema closure. The purpose of this case report is to describe the stages of frenectomy in a case of maxillary central diastema. Case report: A 24-year-old woman came to the Periodontics Specialist Clinic due to a referral from the Department of Orthodontic, Dental Hospital Universitas Airlangga with complaints of loose maxillary front teeth and planned to be treated using fixed orthodontic devices at Department Orthodontic. The blanching test examination showed that the labial frenulum was in the high frenulum category. Case management: Frenectomy was performed using a scalpel. After extraoral and intraoral asepsis, infiltration anesthesia was performed on the labial and palatal sides of tooth 11,21. Clamp the maxillary labial frenulum using a hemostat and then incise the frenulum using blade no 15c in a V shape, then incise the frenulum attachment on the interdental to the palatal region with an elliptical incision. Interrupted suturing using Nylon thread size 4.0. The surgical area was closed using a periodontal pack. Suturing was removed on day 14. Follow-up at 19 months showed no diastema in the anterior maxilla, the patient wore a retainer in the maxilla and a fixed retainer in the mandible. There were no further complaints after the treatment. Conclusion: Frenectomy before orthodontic treatment helps accelerate the treatment progress to correct the central diastema.

Authors: Kiqueen Bintha Kinasih
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Labor and childbirth are essential parts of the human life cycle. When labor extends longer than expected, it’s referred to as prolonged labor, a complication that contributes to over 810 maternal deaths each year worldwide and accounts for over 69,000 cases annually. In fact, prolonged labor is the most frequently reported childbirth complication, occurring in 41% of cases. Past research has shown that a mother's age and the number of children she has (parity) can influence the risk of prolonged labor. More research is needed to understand better how these factors impact prolonged labor. Method: This study is a literature review, drawing from sources in Google Scholar, PUBMED, and Science Direct, focusing on research published between 2019 and 2024. The study included only original research articles in English or Indonesian with all the required components. Result and Discussion: From the literature search, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. Among these, 7 studies found a strong correlation between maternal age and prolonged labor, while 2 found no correlation. Furthermore, 9 studies indicated a significant relationship between parity and prolonged labor, while 1 study described the characteristics of mothers who experienced prolonged labor. Conclusion: In general, maternal age is related to the risk of prolonged labor, though a few studies showed no link. Parity is also significantly associated with prolonged labor.

Depresi adalah gangguan mental yang sering ditandai dengan suasana hati yang tertekan, hilangnya minat atau kesenangan, perasaan bersalah atau rendah diri, gangguan tidur dan nafsu makan, mudah lelah, penurunan aktivitas, serta konsentrasi yang buruk. Terapi bagi penderita depresi melibatkan penggunaan obat antidepresan yang dapat meningkatkan suasana hati. Salah satu tanaman potensial dengan berbagai aktivitas antidepresan adalah pandan wangi (Pandanus amaryllifolius R). Secara empiris, pandan wangi telah digunakan sebagai tonikum, penambah selera makan, pewangi, dan penenang. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui potensi aktivitas hipnotik-sedatif dari daun pandan wangi (Pandanus amaryllifolius R) dengan konsentrasi dosis 5%, 10%, dan 20% pada mencit (Mus musculus). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental menggunakan metode perputaran rotarod pada kecepatan 30 rpm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dosis 5%, 10%, dan 20% memiliki aktivitas yang hampir sama dengan kontrol positif. Nilai p-value antara kontrol positif dengan dosis 5%, 10%, dan 20% ekstrak daun pandan wangi tidak berbeda jauh secara signifikan, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak daun pandan wangi berpotensi memberikan aktivitas hipnotik-sedatif.

Bantul District Health Office received notification that 75 students in elementary school were sick with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness after they consumed snacks from the school canteen. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to confirm the outbreak, identify additional cases, determine risk factors and causes, and recommend preventive measures. This investigation conducted active case finding followed by a retrospective cohort study. Individuals who experience one or more symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, dizziness, fever, and malaise after consuming snacks were defined as cases. Data was collected through direct interviews with students, teachers, staff, and food sellers. Samples of food and vomit were collected and sent to the health laboratory. Data were analyzed using chi-square and multiple binomial regression. There were 150 cases. Most cases were found in the female group (53.22%), 9-year-old group (55.32%), and third-grade students (65%). Dizziness (66.67%), vomiting (56.67%), and nausea (46%) were the most common symptoms. The epidemic curve was a common source, with incubation periods ranging from one to 26 hours. Meatballs were associated with the increased risk of becoming a case in this outbreak (aRR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.22-1.81). The causative agent was suspected to be Salmonella spp, but the laboratory analysis results were inconclusive due to contamination. Potential risk factors were large storage in the refrigerator, insufficient reheating, and cross-contamination. Improvements in food safety monitoring for schools and food handlers, along with appropriate sampling by healthcare facilities, are required to control outbreaks.

Published: November 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided valuable lessons for all parties, including nursing services in hospitals. To date, literature has been lacking on the role of nurse managers in managing inpatient wards for COVID-19 patients, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the experiences of, and the challenges encountered by nurse managers in managing inpatient wards during the crisis. This is a qualitative study with a phenomenology design. The study used a purposive sampling technique involving four nurse managers from several hospitals in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using thematic analysis. This study yielded three themes and nine sub-themes. Nurse managers experienced panic and fear but carried out inpatient management immediately. There was also a solid commitment to protect the fellow nurses from infection. Valuable lessons include the availability of human resources, strong commitment from all lines, management support, and teamwork. Meanwhile, nurse managers encountered challenges such as the lack of personal protective equipment, frequently changing service procedures and the psychological needs of nurses.  Nurse managers obtained numerous lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic related to their capabilities in managing inpatient wards. The findings suggest the adaptability of nurse managers to similar challenging crisis encounters in the future by analysing the effects of frequent workflow changes on care quality and staff adaptation, examining the long-term psychological impact of pandemic work on nurses developing strategies to enhance organizational support for nurses including coping mechanisms and well-being related trainings and services, and to build dynamics of effective teamwork during crisis.
