Extracting Topological Orders of Generalized Pauli Stabilizer Codes in Two Dimensions
Authors: Liang Zijian , Xu Yijia , Iosue Joseph T. , Chen Yu-An 
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for extracting topological data from translation invariant generalized Pauli stabilizer codes in two-dimensional systems, focusing on the analysis of anyon excitations and string operators. The algorithm applies to Zd qudits, including instances where d is a nonprime number. This capability allows the identification of topological orders that differ from the Zd toric codes. It extends our understanding beyond the established theorem that Pauli stabilizer codes for Zp qudits (with p being a prime) are equivalent to finite copies of Zp toric codes and trivial stabilizers. The algorithm is designed to determine all anyons and their string operators, enabling the computation of their fusion rules, topological spins, and braiding statistics. The method converts the identification of topological orders into computational tasks, including Gaussian elimination, the Hermite normal form, and the Smith normal form of truncated Laurent polynomials. Furthermore, the algorithm provides a systematic approach for studying quantum error-correcting codes. We apply it to various codes, such as self-dual CSS quantum codes modified from the two-dimensional honeycomb color code and non-CSS quantum codes that contain the double semion topological order or the six-semion topological order.

Online younger viewers’ motivation to purchase virtual gifts: multi-group analysis of urban-rural backgrounds
Authors: Li Lifu , Kang Kyeong , Namisango Fatuma 
Published: August 2024

Purpose The paper focuses on online younger viewers’ motivation to purchase virtual gifts on live-streaming platforms. To explore influencing factors, this study draws on the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) theory and liberal-conservative thinking theory to establish the research model. It analyses factors that influence the use of environmental opportunity, personal capability and personal thinking style units, which differ from traditional user behaviour research.Design/methodology/approach Through the variance-based structural equation modelling and partial least squares path modelling, three influencing factors positively affect online younger viewers’ virtual gift-purchasing motivation: technical opportunity, financial capability and liberal thinking.Findings Considering the economic imbalance between urban and rural regions, this paper focuses on online younger viewers’ regional differences and designs their urban-rural backgrounds as moderating factors. The multi-group analysis based on a non-parametric approach presents several significant points in the current study, such as younger viewers from rural areas paying more attention to technical opportunities and liberal thinking factors.Originality/value The study distinguishes the differences between urban and rural areas and explores online viewers’ specific opinions on the virtual gift-sending system. The regional differences are caused by local technical development and economic background. The results can help live-streaming platform managers and related departments improve their techniques and functions, aiming to drive the development of the live-streaming industry.
Nigam Pratibha Vidyalaya – aligning new hire with the art integration philosophy
Authors: Mahajan Harleen , Dureja Ranjana 
Published: August 2024

Learning outcomes
The students will be able to understand the diversity and inclusivity in the recruitment process and different sources of recruitment from the context of school’s managed by the government (state schools); execute job analysis thereby clearly mentioning objectives and performance metrics for the post of principal in the government (state schools); align the succession planning efforts with the organization’s strategic objectives and long-term vision; and evaluate the role of a leader involving integrity, fairness, transparency and accountability and applying ethical principles in decision-making and actions.

Case overview/synopsis
The case study exhibits the dilemma faced by a principal Mrs Veena Gandhi in the year 2020–2022 when manpower shortage was the major challenge being faced by the government-run schools in New Delhi NCR. She inculcated inventiveness and practicality in the teaching of elementary education in Nigam Pratibha Vidyalaya. The school’s philosophy was based on creating a learning environment for students so that they could express them, learn and memorize concepts, and had joyful learning. The school managed 50% of the teaching staff, as most of the teachers were promoted to Sarvodaya Vidyalaya run by the department of education in New Delhi. Whereas other teachers were not recruited for the same position which created a demand and supply gap among teaching staff. Now she was going to be retired in January 2023 and was facing a dilemma about her next successor, who could carry forward the philosophies of value-based teaching. She wanted to have such a successor who could carry forward the legacy of the school, but as the school was government-run and the appointment was seniority-wise complete freedom was not in her hands to choose the next principal. By keeping in mind the constraints of authority and entitlement after retirement, she wanted to have the best person for the job who would understand and implement the art integration in teaching and learning.

Complexity academic level
The case study further engaged the students of BBA in their HR class in reviewing the recruitment and selection strategies in general and succession planning in particular with class discussion. It also targets teaching job analysis concepts to them. Furthermore, it helps them to understand value-based prepositions from the point of view of leaders and comprehend how decisions impact organizational philosophies and culture.

Alumni-driven sustainability strategies: paving a way forward for sustainable development of public HEIs
Authors: Nisar Nabeel , Raza Ali , Pathan Pashmina Nisar , Sattar Muhammad Muzamil , Memon Ubedullah 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis investigation is based on the rich experiences of alumni from a reputable public higher education institution (HEI) in Pakistan. Its primary goal is to assess and investigate the relationship between the institution’s long-term sustainability strategies and alumni impressions. The inquiry aligns with the global changing landscape of HEIs, which demands more robust and marketing-driven strategies to achieve long-term sustainability through engaging various stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a phenomenological research design to offer fresh insights into the effectiveness of alumni engagement practices. This research uses semi-structured interviews with nine alumni to contribute an interesting and important narrative regarding alumni’s experiences with engagement strategies.FindingsThe findings show that alumni strongly desire to maintain contact with their institution and support in various ways, thus signifying the importance of alumni engagement. In the broader context, alumni engagement can support HEIs to avoid the risks of losing education standards in financially strict times and achieve sustainable development.Practical implicationsBy actively involving alumni, HEIs in Pakistan can support their sustainable development, strengthen their financial position, raise educational standards, access resources and more. This research provides a way for Public HEIs to attract external support to address the growing institution’s sustainability concerns and avoid the risk of deteriorating education.Originality/valueThe present research extends to the existing body of knowledge regarding Pakistan’s developing economy, while earlier studies have primarily concentrated on alumni studies from developed nations. The study has theoretically expanded the use of the stimulus-organism-response framework and introduced several new constructs not examined or utilized in earlier alumni studies.
Admissibility of illegally obtained evidence in money laundering cases in Pakistan
Authors: Anwar Muhammad Fahad 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore and evaluate the current legal position on the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence in money laundering cases in Pakistan.

Design/methodology/approach
A comprehensive exploratory analytical examination indicates that illegally collected evidence from money laundering offences can be considered acceptable as long as it does not compromise the fairness of the judicial process or the right to a fair trial.

Findings
The admissibility and exclusion of illegally obtained evidence in money laundering cases are primarily governed by the rule of admissibility due to the absence of written or codified regulations in Pakistan.

Originality/value
The Pakistani Criminal Justice System has always depended on well-established admissibility rules to determine the acceptance or rejection of illegally obtained evidence. For many years, courts have exercised their discretion to allow illegally obtained evidence to be admitted using the relevance test. Additionally, they have also shown their discretion by excluding highly unfavourable material. Illegally obtained evidence may be considered admissible if it is relevant to the matter in issue. Illegally obtained evidence from an act related to illegal actions or a predicate offence in money laundering might impact the prosecution's case and, in turn, protect a defendant's right to a fair trial.
Is there a diversification paradox in real estate investment funds' value?
Authors: Fernandes Pedro A. , Carvalho das Neves João , Caiado Jorge 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis paper studies diversification and value in the investment portfolios of (non-listed) Real Estate Investment Funds (REIFs) exploring how the value of diversification is captured by the market and by investors (beyond reported valuations).Design/methodology/approachWe apply the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) to study the level of concentration versus diversification in the investment portfolios of REIFs (both in terms of segment and geographical diversification). We use a dataset from INREV with data from 62 investment portfolios, with an average of 86 REIFs per portfolio for the period of 2008–2020 (to study segment diversification). We use a second dataset from INREV with data from 30 investment portfolios with an average of 79 REIFs per portfolio for the period of 2005–2020 (to study geographical diversification). We employ a cluster analysis approach to identify common features among the investment funds.FindingsWe conclude that (segment diversified) portfolios with higher degrees of leverage exhibit higher income yields, albeit diversification is captured indirectly through asset choices – more diversified portfolios tend to exhibit a stronger risk and return relationship. Also, geographical diversification creates value (more significantly by for the correct combination of countries carefully choosing what different geographies to group in the diversified portfolio).Research limitations/implicationsOne limitation of our study is that our portfolios are funds of funds, since the available data could not reach the asset detail, but we believe this does not compromise our results.Practical implicationsDiversification leads to higher risk-adjusted returns which suggests that properties may be undervalued (market value) in the framework of the Gordon Model, contrary to expectations (regarding investment value).Originality/valueInvestors capture the value of diversification differently, suggesting a gap between market value and investment value that can be explored.
Perinatal depression screening by health cadres in Indonesia: EPDS or Whooley?
Authors: Surjaningrum Endang Retno , Riyanto Edi Dwi , Yusof Junaidah , Mujahadah Husnual 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of health cadres in Indonesia to take perinatal depression screening in the community using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Whooley.

Design/methodology/approach
The field study involved 11 health cadres (community volunteers who assist in maternal and child health) who were trained to administrate EPDS and Whooley towards 36 pregnant and postpartum mothers in a low resource urban setting for a month. A comparison of scores from both tools, the number and type of mistakes made by the cadres, and cadres perception about the tools were combined to determine the most feasible tool for cadres in identifying depression symptoms.

Findings
The results show both tools are comparable for screening depression symptoms in mothers; however, EPDS was better at differentiating the level of symptoms. Whooley, with two case-finding questions, is simpler for cadres, whereas the EPDS is more difficult to be computed by cadres. Cadres support the implementation of such a screening, as it provides a channel for mothers to express their negative feelings.

Research limitations/implications
The findings indicate Whooley is sufficient for first-level screening in the community by cadres, whereas the EPDS should be used by qualified health-care workers for further evaluation at primary health clinics.

Practical implications
Health cadres could potentially be trained to use standardized yet simple psychological tools. Involving trained health cadres in integrated maternal mental health services in primary health care in Surabaya, Indonesia is promising.

Originality/value
The use of the EPDS and the Whooley questions has not been applied in Indonesia particularly among health cadres despite their long-lasting role in primary health-care system.

The relationship between resilient mangroves and fish populations in the largest marine reserve in Belize: a case for conservation
Authors: Osborne Chetwynd Carlos , Cho-Ricketts Leandra , Salazar Jané 
Published: August 2024

PurposeMangrove forests are one of the most bio-diverse and productive wetland environments on earth. However, these unique tropical forest environments that occupy coastal areas are among the most threatened habitats globally. These threats include logging, conversion of land for agriculture and mariculture and degradation due to pollution over the past 50 years. The large population of resilient mangroves occupying the Turneffe Atoll area in Belize faces growing anthropogenic threats such as permanent clearing of land for housing, infrastructural development and pollution and natural factors (climate change). Given the few formal studies done to evaluate mangrove resilience at Turneffe Atoll, the purpose of this study was to evaluate mangrove resilience and nursery functions in the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve (TAMR).Design/methodology/approachMangrove fish abundance and forest structure was assessed by means of a visual census and the point-centred quarter method (PCQM) for 11 sites that span across conservation and general use zones.FindingsThis study found that the more resilient mangroves (lower vulnerability ranks, higher standing biomass and higher fish biomass and abundance) exist in general use zones and warrant the need for improved mangrove conservation measures for these areas by Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association (TASA).Research limitations/implicationsLimitations of the methods for data collection included accessibility within mangrove forests stands when establishing PCQM, observer bias among data collectors, sites without surrounding mangroves were not captured to serve as a true control group and poor visibility underwater affected the estimation of fish species and size. The timeline for this research was only three months based on available funding, and no follow-up study was done to make a true comparison.Originality/valueThe findings of this research have a guiding role in the formulation of conservation measures such as better waste management, a robust framework for mangrove management, a communication strategy to guide public awareness and long-term monitoring surveys.

Authors: Ansari Shakila , Abdi Mohadeseh , Khalili Pardis , Saraf-Bank Sahar 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
Probiotic coadministration with soy beverages has been shown to have favorable results in human health. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to examine the effect of probiotic soy beverages (PSB) on human health aspects such as lipid profile, oxidative stress and kidney function.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was conducted based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Relevant articles were extracted from PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct and Google Scholar up to April 2024. This paper searched all databases using the following keywords: (“Soy milk” OR “Soy beverage” OR “Fermented soy milk” OR “Soy Fermented Beverages”) AND (“Probiotic” OR “Probiotics”). The literature search did not consider language, age and publication date restrictions.

Findings
A total of 2,183 subjects were included in this review. PSB beneficially decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol levels and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. PSB beneficially affected superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione. PSB decreased serum creatinine and increased estimated glomerular filtration rate. Cystatin-C and progranulin decreased significantly in the PSB group. PSB had no significant effect on anthropometric indices, while decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Originality/value
This study provides a brief overview of the effect of PSB on lipid profile, oxidative stress, inflammation and kidney function for the first time.
Mele as methodology: crafting (k)new tools for Indigenous research
Authors: Saffery Maya L. Kawailanaokeawaiki , Lopes R. Keawe , Goto Kawehionālani , Kaomea Julie 
Published: August 2024

PurposeIn Decolonizing Methodologies (1999), Linda Tuhiwai Smith asserted that “the master’s tools of colonization will not work to decolonize what the master built.” Smith challenged Indigenous researchers to fashion “new tools for the purpose of decolonizing and Indigenous tools that can revitalize Indigenous knowledge” (p. 22). A quarter of a century later, this paper reflects on the powerful impact that Smith’s call to action has had upon recent generations of bright, politically active and culturally grounded Native Hawaiian researchers, many of whom are innovatively turning to the Native epistemologies embedded in our traditional cultural practices to craft (k)new research tools and methodologies.Design/methodology/approachThis paper features three Native Hawaiian scholars who are simultaneously hula and mele (traditional Hawaiian dance and song) practitioners and who instinctively turned to their hula training to guide and indigenize their research practice.FindingsEach of these three scholars describes how they creatively applied the Hawaiian epistemologies embedded in their hula and mele training to fashion (k)new, Indigenous methodologies to guide (1) their research conduct, (2) their data analyses or interpretations and (3) the presentation of their research findings, respectively.Originality/valueThese three Hawaiian scholars and hula practitioners represent a larger groundswell of Native Hawaiian researchers who are bravely and creatively drawing upon the traditional wisdom and sensitivities embedded in our cultural practices to craft and wield (k)new research tools to “dismantle the master’s house” (Lorde, 1981) and build an Indigenous hale (house) of our own.
Searching for a smoking gun: access to information and release of the John F. Kennedy assassination records
Authors: Howard Amy 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
The records surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) have been subject to unique treatment in their management and opening. The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (JFK Records Act) mandated that the records would be opened in full by 2017, unless there was intervention from the sitting president. This study aims to examine the extent to which access to the JFK assassination records has been granted. It evaluates how open the archive is, and the consequences of withholding government records. It examines how the continued non-disclosure of this archive has helped to fuel the controversy and conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy’s death.

Design/methodology/approach
This research was approached as traditional historical document analysis, reviewing the JFK assassination records releases from 2017–2018 and the broader landscape of access to information in America. A random sampling of the open and redacted records was used to undertake a statistical analysis on the amount of information that has been withheld. It was supplemented with freedom of information requests intended to reveal further information on the approach taken to redaction. The work was situated within a broader global literature review.

Findings
The research identified the limits to access to the JFK assassination records that exist because of the continued postponement and redaction of information by US federal government agencies. It found that the ambiguous language used for exemptions in the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the JFK Records Act has allowed agencies the freedom to interpret and limit access to information if they desired. Furthermore, agencies have had the power to hold and sanitise their own records. The work identifies how these approaches have caused questions, inconsistences, a lack of transparency and accountability in the US government. The lack of centralised processes and related explanations can be seen to fuel further controversies and conspiracies.

Originality/value
Using a systematic research methodology, this work presents a careful analysis of the varying processes and their implications for understanding of the events that surrounded Kennedy’s assassination. Lessons learnt can be applied to the general management of freedom of information and access to information.
Strengthening links between HRM theories, HR practices and outcomes: A proposal to advance research on HRM and outcomes
Authors: Guest David E. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractScholars reviewing research exploring the association between human resource management (HRM) and outcomes have noted a frequent absence of any link between the espoused HRM theory and the HR practices used to measure it. They have called for better theory about HRM and a clear link between theory, associated HR practices and outcomes. This paper answers their call by outlining seven distinct theories about HRM and outcomes, each with specific goals, associated core HR practices and related outcomes. Combinations of core, standard and marginal practices constitute measurable HRM systems. Challenges, implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
