Authors: Klaver Marian , van den Hoofdakker Barbara , Bruinsma Eke , de Kuijper Gerda , Hoekstra Pieter J. , de Bildt Annelies 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of studies that focused on variables likely to affect staff ability to carry out behavioural strategies for challenging behaviours in individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Design/methodology/approach
Literature review: studies that were published in a peer reviewed journal, between 1999 and 2016, were selected for this review.

Findings
In total, 29 articles were selected. Several factors likely affect staff ability to appropriately carry out behavioural interventions were identified: staff assumptions, distressing emotions elicited by challenging behaviours, reciprocal reinforcement systems, service characteristics and cultural systems.

Originality/value
These findings raise the question what staff need in order to be able to change their naturally occurring behaviours in response to challenging behaviours and to carry out behavioural interventions. Future research may identify barriers and facilitators underlying the provision of effective interventions, taking into account the possible role of staff beliefs, their emotions, service characteristics and cultural systems.
A survey of consultant psychiatrists in intellectual disability based in England
Authors: Guinn Ashley , Jaydeokar Sujeet , McCarthy Jane , Roy Ashok , Hassiotis Angela 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
Community mental health services are of increasing importance for people with an intellectual disability (ID), as the government aims to reduce the number of people treated within inpatient services. However, due to limited evidence base, it is unclear which service models are most effective for treating people with both ID and a mental health condition. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to carry out a survey in order to gain a better understanding of the current state of ID community services.

Design/methodology/approach
The survey was e-mailed to 310 consultant psychiatrists based in England and whose main specialism was in ID. In total, 65 consultants responded to the survey with 53 complete data sets.

Findings
In total, 84 per cent of consultants identified themselves as working in a generic community ID team. The majority of services were not integrated with social care (71 per cent). Regional differences were found. In contrast to the rest of England, the majority of services in London were integrated with social care. The Health of the Nation Outcome Scale for people with Learning Disabilities (HoNOS-LD) was found to be the most common outcome measure used by services. A range of interventions are widely available across services including psychological therapies and specialist memory assessments. The survey also provides evidence for increased decommissioning of specialist inpatient units and a need for more robust community services.

Research limitations/implications
Findings limited by low return rate (21 per cent) and because responses could not be matched to specific services. The implications of this survey are that there is still a variable level of integration with social care and that lack of integration could affect the quality of service. While HoNOS-LD is used consistently across services, there may be a need to supplement it with other outcome measures. There is a need for larger scale and higher quality studies in this area to strengthen the evidence base and therefore demonstrate the benefits of integration and specialisation more convincingly to health professionals and commissioners.

Originality/value
This survey presents an overview of the current state of community services for adults with ID in England. This information can be harnessed to add to revised approaches to mental health service models for people with ID.
Hierarchical plateau and turnover intention of employees at the career establishment stage
Authors: Xie Baoguo , Xin Xun , Bai Guanglin 
Published: September 2016

PurposeApplying the theory of work adjustment (TWA), the purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the effect of hierarchical plateau on the turnover intention of employees at the career establishment stage is mediated by job satisfaction and moderated by person-job fit.Design/methodology/approachA survey method was used and data were collected from 248 Chinese employees at the career establishment stage. Hierarchical regression analysis and moderated mediation analysis were used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe results demonstrated that hierarchical plateau was positively related to the turnover intention of employees at the career establishment stage and that job satisfaction played a mediating role in the relationship. Person-job fit moderated the relationship between hierarchical plateau and job satisfaction, and the indirect effect of hierarchical plateau on turnover intention via job satisfaction.Originality/valueThis research offers new insights into the links between hierarchical plateau and employees’ work attitudes and withdrawal behaviour within the TWA. The results suggest that managers can lessen the negative effects of hierarchical plateau on employees’ attitudes and withdrawal behaviour by improving employees’ overall person-job fit.
Antecedents of work engagement among high potential employees
Authors: Khoreva Violetta , van Zalk Maarten 
Published: September 2016

PurposeThe implicit assumption since the beginning of the science and practice of human resource management (HRM) has been that if we do HRM well, this will somehow make organizations perform more effectively. The purpose of this paper is to address this “somehow” by investigating the antecedents of work engagement among high potential employees.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through a web-based survey from 439 high potential employees of 11 Finnish multinational enterprises. Structural equation modeling was utilized to analyze the data.FindingsIn line with the social exchange perspective, the findings demonstrate that it is through the fulfillment of psychological contract and through increased organizational identification that high potential employees become more engaged with their organizations in response to participation in leadership development activities.Research limitations/implicationsGiven its cross-sectional nature, the authors cannot completely exclude the possibility of common method bias having impact on the study results. The authors thus call for longitudinal research to examine the nature of causality within the associations analyzed in this study.Originality/valueThis is one of the first empirical studies, which examines the previously underexplored association between leadership development activities and employee attitudes. In addition, this study addresses the lack of research investigating such a specific group of employees as high potential employees, those employees who rank at the top in terms of performance and competencies, and who are considered to be of highest concern for organizations.
A robust control strategy for a class of distributed network with transmission delays
Authors: Naghavi S. Vahid , Safavi A.A. , Khooban Mohammad Hassan , Pourdehi S. , Ghaffari Valiollah 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to concern the design of a robust model predictive controller for distributed networked systems with transmission delays.

Design/methodology/approach
The overall system is composed of a number of interconnected nonlinear subsystems with time-varying transmission delays. A distributed networked system with transmission delays is modeled as a nonlinear system with a time-varying delay. Time delays appear in distributed systems due to the information transmission in the communication network or transport of material between the sub-plants. In real applications, the states may not be available directly and it could be a challenge to address the control problem in interconnected systems using a centralized architecture because of the constraints on the computational capabilities and the communication bandwidth. The controller design is characterized as an optimization problem of a “worst-case” objective function over an infinite moving horizon.

Findings
The aim is to propose control synthesis approach that depends on nonlinearity and time varying delay characteristics. The MPC problem is represented in a time varying delayed state feedback structure. Then the synthesis sufficient condition is provided in the form of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization and is solved online at each time instant. In the rest, an LMI-based decentralized observer-based robust model predictive control strategy is proposed.

Originality/value
The authors develop RMPC strategies for a class of distributed networked systems with transmission delays using LMI-Based technique. To evaluate the applicability of the developed approach, the control design of a networked chemical reactor plant with two sub-plants is studied. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Design/methodology/approach
First, the authors present the EMS uses a power frequency splitting to allow a natural frequency decomposition of the power loads and second the EMS uses the optimal control theory, based on the Pontryagin’s minimum principle.

Findings
Thanks to the optimal approach, the control objectives will be easily achieved: hydrogen consumption is minimized and FC health is protected.

Originality/value
The simulation results show the effectiveness of the control strategy using optimal control theory in term of improvement of the fuel consumption based on a comparison analysis between the two strategies.
Investigation of rotor thermal stress in squirrel cage induction motor with broken bar faults
Authors: Xie Ying , Wang Ze , Shan Xueting , Li Yangyang 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
Thermal stress of the rotor in a squirrel cage induction motor is generated due to the temperature rise, and the structure of the rotor will be destroyed if the stress acted on the rotor exceeds its limits, so the thermal stress is also one of the main causes led to broken bar fault. The purpose of this paper is to report the thermal stress coupled analysis for the induction motor with healthy and faulty rotor, and to find the variation tendency of the temperature and thermal stress due to broken bars, and the part most likely to break in the rotor as a result of the thermal stress load are identified.

Design/methodology/approach
The steady temperature and thermal stress of the rotor in the case of the healthy and faulty conditions are calculated by finite element method, and the 3D model of the motor used in the experiments is established and the experimental results are presented for both healthy and faulty machines.

Findings
The influence of the broken bars fault on the motor thermal profile and thermal stress can be found, and it explains why the breaking point always appears in the joint of the bars and end rings.

Originality/value
The paper presents the 3D thermal stress coupled model and performance characteristics of induction motor with broken bars. The reasonable constraint is established according to the contact of components each other, and more reasonable fracture location is selected. The results obtained by the simulation model are in a good agreement with practical situation, because the effect of skewed rotor were taken into consideration in the process of simulation.
Erroneous branch parameters detection and correction in real time simulation of power systems
Authors: Helmzadeh Amin , Kouhsari Shahram M. 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose an efficient method for detection and modification of erroneous branch parameters in real time power system simulators. The aim of the proposed method is to minimize the sum of squared errors (SSE) due to mismatches between simulation results and corresponding field measurements. Assuming that the network configuration is known, a limited number of erroneous branch parameters will be detected and corrected in an optimization procedure.

Design/methodology/approach
Proposing a novel formulation that utilizes network voltages and last modified admittance matrix of the simulation model, suspected branch parameters are identified. These parameters are more likely to be responsible for large values of SSE. Utilizing a Gauss-Newton (GN) optimization method, detected parameters will be modified in order to minimize the value of SSE. Required sensitivities in optimization procedure will be calculated numerically by the real time simulator. In addition, by implementing an efficient orthogonalization method, the more effective parameter will be selected among a set of correlated parameters to avoid singularity problems.

Findings
Unlike state estimation-based methods, the proposed method does not need the mathematical functions of measurements to simulation model parameters. The method can enhance other parameter estimation methods that are based on state estimation. Simulation results demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed optimization method.

Originality/value
Incorrect branch parameter detection and correction procedures are investigated in real time simulators.
Modelling of TCSC for voltage regulation in power systems
Authors: Yalçın Faruk 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a voltage regulation solution in power systems through adjusting the power flow of the system via thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC). For this aim, a new power flow model has been proposed based on TCSC.

Design/methodology/approach
TCSC’s admittance effect has been included as state variable into the Jacobian matrix to avoid divergence problem. TCSC’s admittance is ignored in the bus admittance matrix to prevent rebuilding requirement of the bus admittance matrix in each power flow iteration. So, faster convergence for power flow calculation has been provided. For this aim, new power equations have been obtained. Also, the proposed approach has not required to handle each terminal of TCSC as an individual bus in the power flow calculation. So, increasing of the Jacobian and bus admittance matrixes caused by the total bus number has been prevented.

Findings
The proposed approach has been tested on IEEE 57-bus test system. The obtained results have proved that the proposed approach has provided efficient, reliable and fast convergence.

Originality/value
This study is the first one that uses TCSC for voltage regulation in the literature. On the other hand, the results have shown that the approach of considering the TCSC admittance values as state variables provides robust convergence, according to the approaches that consider TCSC firing angles as state variables.

Design/methodology/approach
The idea is based on the static and dynamic frequency-based algorithm combined with bit mask and dictionary-based algorithm for MIPS32 processor, in order to minimize the code size and improves compression ratio.

Findings
The experimental result shows that the proposed system achieves up to 67 percent compression efficiency.

Originality/value
The paper presents enhanced versions of the code compression technique.
Boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian nanofluid over a non-linearly stretching sheet
Authors: Madhu Macha , Kishan Naikoti , Chamkha A. 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a power-law non-Newtonian nanofluid over a non-linearly stretching sheet.

Design/methodology/approach
The governing equations describing the problem are transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity transformations. The resulting equations for this investigation are solved numerically by using the variational finite element method.

Findings
It was found that the local Nusselt number increases by increasing the Prandtl number, stretching sheet parameter and decreases by increasing the power-law index, thermophoresis parameter and Lewis number. Increases in the stretching sheet parameter, Prandtl number and thermophoresis parameter decrease the local Sherwood number values. The effects of Brownian motion and Lewis number lead to increases in the local Sherwood number values.

Originality/value
The work is relatively original as very little work has been reported on non-Newtonian nanofluids.
Additional results for the problem of MHD boundary-layer flow past a stretching/shrinking surface
Authors: Pop Ioan , Roşca Natalia C. , Roşca Alin V. 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to reinvestigate the problem of multiple similarity solutions of the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic boundary-layer flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a stretching/shrinking permeable surface studied by Aly et al. (2007).

Design/methodology/approach
The transformed ordinary (similarity) differential equation was solved numerically using the function bvp4c from MATLAB. The relative tolerance was set to 10^(−10).

Findings
Dual solutions were found and a stability analysis was performed to show which solutions are stable and which are not stable. On the other hand, Aly et al. (2007) have shown that for each value of the power index and magnetic parameter in the range and for any specific values of the stretching/shrinking parameter and suction parameter the problem has only a solution.

Originality/value
The paper describes how multiple (dual) solutions for the flow reversals were obtained. The stability analysis has shown that the lower solution branches are unstable, while the upper solution branches are stable.

Authors: Sariannidis Nikolaos , Giannarakis Grigoris , Partalidou Xanthi 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to ascertain whether weather variables can explain the stock return reaction on the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index by employing a number of macroeconomic indicators as control variables.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors incorporate the generalized autogressive conditional heteroskeasticity model in methodology for the period August 26, 2009 to May 30, 2014 using daily data.

Findings
The empirical results indicate that not only do changes in humidity and wind levels seem to affect positively the European stock market but changes in returns oil and gold prices as well. However, the results show that the volatility of the US dollar/Yen exchange rate and ten-year bond value exerts significant negative impact on companies’ stock returns.

Originality/value
This study adds to the international literature by documenting the impact of weather variables on socially responsible companies.
Rental index rate as an alternative to interest rate in Musharakah Mutanaqisah home financing
Authors: Yusof Rosylin Bt Mohd , Mahfudz Akhmad Affandi , Che Mohamed Arif Ahmad Suki , Ahmad Nor Hayati 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to propose a new pricing alternative called Rental Rate Index (RR-I) that captures the true value of property to be used by Islamic banks in Musharakah Mutanaqisah (MM) contract for home financing.

Design/methodology/approach
By formulating a profit rate based on Rental Index (RI) and House Price Index (HPI), the proposed rate eliminates conventional profit rate benchmarking, and, at the same time, suggests a fair, equitable and sustainable financing. This new RR-I (measured by RPI/HPI) enables computerization of the MM system in home financing to be easily implemented. A financial simulation is developed to demonstrate the feasibility of this newly proposed rate.

Findings
This newly proposed RR-I is found to be more stable, having less fluctuations, resilient to macroeconomic conditions and yet comparable to the conventional interest rates, without depending on them. It can also be regarded as a rate that is fair and sustainable to both the customer and the bank, as it measures the actual rate of return to both parties in MM contract.

Research limitations/implications
The paper confines one contract, namely, MM, as it is claimed to be more Shariah-compliant than others.

Practical implications
The finding also sheds some light on the recommendation by Bank Negara Malaysia, which is to consider RR that is more indicative of the actual rental price while taking into account the competitiveness of the product. (BNM, 2007).

Social implications
This paper wreaks customer patronage in selecting the contract of home financing.

Originality/value
This paper attempts to resolve the issue of benchmarking RR to the conventional interest rate in the MM contract. Studies conducted on this issue via simulation approach are meager.
