This paper deals with surface integrity after hard milling of bearing steel 100Cr6. Surface integrity is expressed in terms of shape deviation as well as Barkhausen noise emission. Furthermore, components of cutting forces are also measured as a function of tool wear. Non homogeneity of cutting force distribution within the contact between the milling cutter and workpiece is discussed. The results of measurements indicate that the shape as well as structure remarkable non homogeneity should be expected after hard milling due to missing full contact between milling cutter and workpiece. This non homogeneity can be monitored via Barkhausen noise technique. On the other hand, the competitive grinding cycles produced more homogenous surface and surface state is a function of infeed speed.

Published: June 2023

Hypoeutectic AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy is a relatively new alloy that finds application in the production of high stress cylinder head castings. This work focuses on the investigation of the solubility of the additive elements Sr, Zr, and Mo in AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy. The main objective of the work was to characterize the influence of the additive elements on selected properties of the experimental alloy AlSi5Cu2Mg with respect to the melting method of the additive elements. The additive elements Sr, Zr, and Mo were introduced into the melt in the form of AlSr10, AlZr20, and AlMo10 master alloys were melted in 2 ways in an electric resistance furnace and an electric induction furnace. Depending on the melting method, the experimental alloys were designated Sr-Z, Zr-Z, Mo-Z (electric resistance furnace), and Sr-I, Zr-I, and Mo-I (electric induction furnace). The results showed that the presence of Sr, Zr, and Mo in the AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy led to a negative increase in the area fraction of porosity and a decrease in the physical properties, regardless of the melting method of the master alloys. Based on the summarized results, it was shown that the experimental alloys Sr-I, and Sr-Z did not show a significant increase in mechanical properties. A negative effect on the selected mechanical properties was noted by the experimental alloy Zr-Z. The most favourable combination of mechanical properties was obtained by the experimental alloys Mo-I and Zr-I.
Maximizing solar-powered charging and discharging of electric vehicles in residential and parking areas: A case study in optimal scheduling
Authors: Jayababu Badugu , G. Nageswara Reddy , K. Vimala Kumar
Published: June 2023

The expectation of a huge number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) into the market creates multiple technical problems. The power system is at risk due to the unsecured and unreliable operation resulting from unplanned charging and discharging. The unplanned EV charging and discharging change the load profile of the electric grid. Hence, it is required to develop an effective scheduling scheme for charging and discharging EVs. This research focuses on the minimization of the charging cost of a large number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in a residential area and parking station. When a huge number of EVs are aggregated in the residential and parking stations, charging and discharging power should be a significant and viable contributor to the power grid. V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology offers additional potential benefits to improve power quality and also system reliability. EVs can also supply G2V (Grid-to-Vehicle) power through the discharge of the battery, which benefits both EV owners and electric utilities. It is very difficult to schedule the configurations of EV charging and discharging in an optimized way so as to decrease the charging cost of EVs. The usage of renewable energy sources like solar Photovoltaic (PV) power, reduces the burden on the grid. The solar PV systems are likely to have significant surplus power during the daytime. In this research, optimal charging and discharging scheduling schemes for EVs are developed and the proposed work is carried out under the MATLAB environment with and without Photovoltaic (PV) systems. The realistic load data is collected from Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (APTRANSCO), India and the solar data is taken from the Indian Solar Resource Data website. The effectiveness of the scheduling scheme is rated according to its capability to reduce the total cost. Extensive simulation studies have been performed on the distribution system under consideration and the results have been presented. The results demonstrate that the charging cost of EVs can be reduced significantly with the use of solar PV power.

Authors: Andayani Wuryan , Wuryantoro Maharani
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of this research is to serve an overview of how corporate social responsibility (CSR), good corporate governance (GCG), and financial statement fraud detection work together to reduce fraudulent financial statements.
 
Theoretical framework: Cressey (1953) showed that there are three main reasons for fraud as it is known today, they are pressures faced by perpetrators, opportunities owned by perpetrators, rationalization behind the perpetrators.
 
Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative content analysis is the research method used in publication of scientific articles.
 
Findings: The attained findings reached a conclusion that financial statement fraud can be decreased by good governance, social responsibility and financial statement fraud detection.  Additionally, efforts at prevention and detection must be supported by ethical values and a corporate culture that minimizes the use of false financial statements. Overall, generalizations may be made about the functions of governance, social responsibility, and fraud detection in financial statements.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: Some regions are able to implement a good governance system so that it is effective in handling fraud that occurs, and some have not shown this. Research shows that the elements of governance that are tested through quantitative research still give varying results. The system for the category of good corporate governance does not always give positive results.
 
Originality/value: This article is a contribution to the academic literature that helps us comprehend studies on the importance of corporate social responsibility and how to identify financial statement fraud in order to decrease and steer clear of it.

Authors: Rusok Nur Hazelen Mat , Samy Naresh Kumar , Bhaumik Amiya
Published: June 2023

Purpose:  This empirical research aimed to analyze the mediating role of attitude toward change (ATC) on the relationship between the learning organization dimensions (LODs) and innovative work behaviour (IWB) among academics with the rank of professor in Malaysian public higher education institutions (HEIs).
 
Theoretical framework: Organizational effectiveness, leading to sustainable goal development to happen swiftly, requires an attitude toward change (ATC) that leads to IWB among the institutional members who are undoubtedly already in a learning culture with supporting milieus.
 
Design/methodology/approach: 366 valid survey responses were collected using self-administered questionnaires delivered through the online survey with professors serving Malaysian public HEIs as target respondents. The study used Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM) for exploratory data analysis and hypothesis testing.
 
Findings:  The results indicate that four LODs, systems connection, strategic leadership, continuous learning and dialogue and inquiry, significantly affect IWB in the presence of ATC as a mediator. On the other hand, ATC cannot mediate the outcome of IWB substantially, testing for the following exogenous variables: team level of learning, and two different dimensions of learning at the organization level, embedded system and empowerment.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  This study can be instructive for HEIs policymakers and those charged with institutional change and development. The study found that the HEIs’ effort in creating dynamic continuous learning opportunities and endless action in creating a culture of enthusiasm for questioning, timely feedback, and research enhanced the IWB through the upshot of ATC. At the structural level,  encouraging active participation and contributions to global intelligence and learning-oriented leadership marks the progress of the IWB. The capacity of the HEIs to integrate people and structures ultimately reaches healthier work behaviour necessary for the present needs of creative educational institutions. Practical implications and future research opportunities are in this empirical paper.
 
Originality/value:  The study empirically supports the strength of measures used to gauge the LODs, ATC and IWB. The mediating effects of ATC are substantial, with solid research evidence to suggest it is essential to identify what influences employee attitudes to change to facilitate and optimize employee receptiveness to change and, therefore, the likely success of HEIs change.

Authors: Tien Dung Ngo , Thanh Hanh Hoang
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study examines the impacts of internal audit practices on internal control in Vietnamese SMEs.
 
Theoretical framework: This paper employs the three lines of defense model framework to study the impact of internal audit practices on internal control in Vietnamese SMEs. Internal auditing practices were measured by the items listed in the attribute standards and performance standards of the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF). Internal control quality includes control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring which are provided by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Framework.
 
Design/methodology/approach: We collect primary data using questionnaire. Data collected from the questionnaire is divided into two groups (1) the measurement of the internal auditing practices and (2) the measurement of the quality of internal control system. We then use the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to test for the hypotheses related to the relationship between internal audit practices and internal control.
 
Findings: Our results suggest that both attribute standards and performance standards have positive impacts on the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, and monitoring aspects of internal control. Meanwhile, internal audit seems to not influence the information and communication.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the impacts of internal audit practices on the quality of internal control in Vietnamese SMEs.
 
Originality/value: This study examines the unique context of Vietnamese SMEs. Ultimately, the framework aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how internal audit practices impact internal control quality in this specific context.

Authors: Mardatillah  , Marlindawaty  , Gazali Sani , Lumbaa Markus
Published: June 2023

Purpose:   This study aims at finding out how the perspective of human resource development is in understanding and interpreting fraud behavior based on the informants' awareness of the state civil apparatus.
 
Theoretical framework:   Fraud behavior that will be investigated by researchers is fraud behavior which is the lowest or minor violation in the Human Resources and Human Resources Development Agency, but as a result that is not handled and resolved then the violation increases to moderate and high or severe which can threaten or provide opportunities for the country's civil apparatus likely to be dishonorably discharged. This means that prevention and opportunities to overcome them are not found holistically and comprehensively. For this reason, using the perspective of human resource development to be studied is expected to contribute, especially for the state civil apparatus to focus on developing themselves. Because when a person focuses on developing himself then cheating behavior will not be done because the concerned focus on developing himself because he already knows his potential.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  This research uses a phenomenological qualitative research method.
 
Findings:  The results of this study indicate that the perpetrators of fraud interpret fraud behavior as an expression of disappointment and dissatisfaction and consider this as something humanist under pressure because it is triggered by the dilemmatic conditions they face. In this case, the perspective of human resource development has three main components, namely the economic, psychological and system dimensions which are based on the ethics of human resource development as a complement to the three components.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  The researcher elaborates and adds the perspective of developing human resources with fraudulent behavior as an effort to prevent this fraudulent behavior from occurring.
 
Originality/value:  The researcher adds that integrity is an additional table leg as the implementation of fraudulent behavior.
