Are men the missing piece from your well-being jigsaw?
Authors: De Mascia Sharon 
Published: September 2015

Purpose
– Questions whether organizational well-being strategies always recognize the differences between men and women when it comes to mental health.

Design/methodology/approach
– Shows why men’s mental health is an area of concern and reveals how to ensure that an organization’s well-being strategy looks after men, as well as women.

Findings
– Describes how the limited research that exists regarding the mental health of men paints a picture of men experiencing mental ill health in a different way from women. This makes it less likely that it will be identified, recognized or addressed using the current “female model” of mental health.

Research limitations/implications
– Advises organizations to: train their managers to recognize the different symptoms of reduced mental health that men present with, so that they can identify when male staff are experiencing mental ill health; raise awareness of the fact that men experience mental ill health and that it is alright to talk about feelings; and remember that men may be very reluctant to talk to someone in the workplace about how they feel and may not want to talk to their doctor for the same reasons.

Practical implications
– Advises organizations to: train their managers to recognize the different symptoms of reduced mental health that men present with, so that they can identify when male staff are experiencing mental ill health; raise awareness of the fact that men experience mental ill health and that it is alright to talk about feelings; and remember that men may be very reluctant to talk to someone in the workplace about how they feel and may not want to talk to their doctor for the same reasons.

Social implications
– Considers that there has been a wealth of research into the mental health of women but still relatively little into the mental health of men.

Originality/value
– Provides a set of practical recommendations for organizations to ensure that they are taking account of the mental health of their male employees.
Measuring team learning behaviours through observing verbal team interaction
Authors: Raes Elisabeth , Boon Anne , Kyndt Eva , Dochy Filip 
Published: September 2015

Purpose– This study aims to explore, as an answer to the observed lack of knowledge about actual team learning behaviours, the characteristics of the actual observed basic team learning behaviours and facilitating team learning behaviours more in-depth of three project teams. Over time, team learning in an organisational context has been investigated more and more. In these studies, there is a dominant focus on team members’ perception of team learning behaviours.Design/methodology/approach– A coding schema is created to observe actual team learning behaviours in interaction between team members in two steps: verbal contributions by individual team members are coded to identify the type of sharing behaviour and, when applicable, these individual verbal behaviours are build up to basic and facilitating team learning behaviours. Based on these observations, an analysis of team learning behaviours is conducted to identify the specific characteristics of these behaviours.Findings– An important conclusion of this study is the lack of clarity about the line of demarcation between individual contributions and learning behaviours and team learning behaviours. Additionally, it is clear that the conceptualisations of team learning behaviour in previous research neglect to a large extend the nuances and depth of team learning behaviours.Originality/value– Due to the innovative approach to study team learning behaviours, this study is of great value to the research field of teamwork for two reasons: the creation of a coding schema to analyse team learning behaviours and the findings that resulted from this approach.
Theoretical framework for performance evaluation of university libraries in India
Authors: Jeevan V K J 
Published: September 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to suggest performance evaluation of university libraries in India using qualitative and quantitative parameters provided by librarians to be collected, analysed and disseminated by a national agency apart from LibQual user surveys.

Design/methodology/approach
– The status about the university libraries in India provided by the Association of Indian Universities publication Universities Handbook would help to assess the quantity and quality of collection and services offered by these libraries. The framework for performance evaluation of university libraries is presented in three heads: parameters, players and procedures. Parameters cover the various qualitative and quantitative data to be collected for the purpose of evaluation. Players include a vast network of institutions involved in this exercise. Among these, the first and foremost is the individual libraries. There should be a national agency to be identified for collecting, analysing and disseminating the consolidated evaluation reports on a national scale. There may also be international agencies or services involved to support and guide user survey such as LibQual. Procedures involve the processes, actions and activities undertaken by the various players to achieve the basic objective of performance evaluation of these university libraries.

Findings
– The performance framework suggested when implemented every year by university libraries present the qualitative and quantitative outcome of their functioning and reveal their worth in the university landscape. This may also aid in planned and organised development of university libraries in the country. The results provided by this exercise should influence judicious collection development decisions and pragmatic information service planning.

Originality/value
– India, perhaps, has the largest number of higher education institutions in the developing world. The national directory Universities Handbook only presents information about library of a university without any attempt to analyse the statistics collected to arrive at national trends or patterns. This may be the first attempt to provide a holistic picture to assess the performance of a varied spectrum of libraries as far as infrastructure, resources and services are concerned.
Electronic and paper based data collection methods in library and information science research
Authors: Tella Adeyinka 
Published: September 2015

Purpose
– This study aims to examine a comparative analysis of electronic- and paper-based data collection methods.

Design/methodology/approach
– Survey research approach was adopted to conduct the study. A total of 500 library and information science (LIS) researcher/information professionals selected randomly from seven states in Nigeria represent the sample for the study. A self-designed questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents. Six objectives were developed to guide the study.

Findings
– The findings reveal that there is preference for paper-based than the electronic-based data collection methods, and similarly, respondents indicated they cannot use any other data collection methods other than paper-based. Electronic data collection method is beneficial in terms of gathering a representative sample within a short period compared to the paper-based method. The researcher has control over access to the survey in the paper-based method compared to the electronic method, and there is opportunity to monitor the progress of the research and clarify ambiguity by the researcher. The electronic method is limited in terms of collecting data from only the respondents who are computer-literate with good Web skills, while the paper-based method is limited by higher attrition rate, money and time consumption.

Research limitations/implications
– The study did not consider the time needed to gather data with each method or the amount of time needed for data entry, cleaning and coding. It is possible that a time-motion study would reveal clear superiority of either one method or the other. The total sample of participants in the study is also limited, considering the total number of LIS researcher/information professionals in Nigeria.

Practical implications
– The study has underlined the value of electronic/Web-based collection as a cost- and time-saving instrument in modern LIS research. Regardless of method and trial, electronic data collection could fulfill in all examined parameters, its promises, realizing cost savings of up to a 50 per cent in comparison with the paper-based data collection method.

Originality/value
– The paper is solely the idea of the author.

Industrial process pipelines are mostly known to be constructed from metal which is a conducting material. Bubbles or gas detection are crucial in facilitating the bubble columns performance. By employing the Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) technique, a simulation study using COMSOL has been conducted to investigate the effect of excitation strategy, bubble sizes and locations towards the metal wall system. As for the current excitation strategy, conducting boundary protocol has to be applied when it comes to metallic vessel to overcome the grounding effect. Bubbles with a greater size than 2 mm and especially the one that is located near the wall boundary are much easier to detect. Further potential improvements to the current design and image reconstruction of the ERT system are desirable to improve the detection of small and centred bubble.
An Experimental Study on Prototype Lightweight Brake Disc for Regenerative Braking
Authors: Sarip Shamsul , J. Day Andrew, 
Published: September 2015

Regenerative braking (RB) will minimize duty levels on the brakes, giving advantages including extended brake rotor and friction material life and, more significantly, reduced brake mass and minimised brake pad wear. Thermal performance was a key factor which was studied to measure disc surface temperature using chassis dynamometer in a drag braking with constant speed. The experimental work presented here to find friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient, and evaluate temperatures for a ventilated brake disc and for a prototype lightweight disc using a Rototest chassis dynamometer. Heat transfer coefficient and friction coefficient of friction material can be determined from cooling analysis. The results from experiments on a prototype lightweight brake disc were shown to illustrate the effects of RBS/friction combination in terms of weight reduction. The design requirement, including reducing the thickness, would affect the temperature distribution and increase stress at the critical area. Based on the relationship obtained between rotor weight, and thickness, criteria have been established for designing lightweight brake discs in a vehicle with regenerative braking.

Published: September 2015

The efficient synthesis of exfoliated graphene oxide nanosheets (GO) via modified Hummers’ method was successfully carried out. The physicochemical properties of GO were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis), x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The graphite was fully oxidized by strong oxidizing agent caused the oxygen-containing functional groups such as C-O-C, C=O, and COOH were introduced into the graphite layers as analyzed by Raman and FTIR. XRD pattern of GO showed 2θ of 12.0o with interlayer spacing ~ 7.37A which describe non uniform crystal structure with the addition of oxygen containing functional groups. UV-vis spectrum of GO exhibit maximum absorption peak at ~ 234 nm corresponding to the aromatic C=C bond with π-π* transition. The morphology of GO was observed to have flake-like shape and less transparent layers by TEM. The properties of synthesized GO suggest high potential in producing the high quality of graphene which is can be applied as the electrocatalyst support for direct methanol fuel cell application.
Load-deformation Behaviour of Eccentrically Loaded SSTT-confined High Strength Concrete Columns
Authors: Chau Khun Ma , Awang Abdullah Zawawi , Omar Wahid 
Published: September 2015

The application of steel-straps confinement or better known as steel-strapping tensioning technique (SSTT) has been proven to be effective in increasing the strength and ductility of High-Strength Concrete (HSC) column comparable to Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP).Â However, most of the research of confined HSC column has mainly concentrated on concentric loading. In actual practical condition, most of the columns are subjected to eccentric loading. The scarcity of the experimental data for eccentric loaded confined HSC column has prevented the potential use of this type of structure element. In this paper, five HSC columns were tested. The specimens were SSTT-confined and tested with 25mm and 50 mm eccentric loading. The results show that SSTT confinement can increase the strength and deformability of high-strength concrete column, although the strain gradient reduces the confining efficiency. Therefore, smaller capacity enhancement factor should be used in eccentrically loaded SSTT-confined HSC columns compared to concentrically loaded columns. Furthermore, the non-linear theoretical model established in this study can be used for templates for future work on SSTT-confined HSC columns.

Authors: Bakhteri Rabia , Al Satti Tareef , Khalil-Hani Mohd , Yuan Wen Hau 
Published: September 2015

Abnormal heart rate or low heart rate during exercise or recovery has been known to cause cardiac arrest and even sudden death in some cases. Similarly, research has shown that low step rate while running may be the causal factor for running injuries due to the force impact exerted and the extra loadings on the lower body joints. Commercial electronic devices used by athletes typically use either accelerometers or coil springs to estimate the step rate resulting in low accuracy. This paper describes the design a low-cost, wearable device that can help athletes monitor their physical activity while running or walking and report step rate, heart rate, distance covered, time elapsed and calories burnt with high accuracy. The system calculates the step rate by analyzing the signal generated from two Force Sensitive Resistors (FSRs) inserted above the insole of a running shoe which is connected to a microcontroller strapped to the athlete’s ankle. According to the experimental results, the prototype was found to have an average accuracy of 97% in measuring the distance covered.

Authors: Yahya Norshafika , Zakaria Zaki Yamani , Ali Noorhalieza , Jusoh Mazura 
Published: September 2015

In this paper, raw material of refined bleached and deodorised palm oil (RBDPO) was separated into olein and stearin by applying progressive freeze concentration (PFC) as an alternative method to replace the conventional fractionation process using coil crystallizer. Overall heat transfer coefficient (U) was analyzed from the process by varying different coolant temperature values since both of them are closely related each other. In this case, heat transfer efficiency depends strongly on crystal of stearin formed on the inner wall of cooled surface and is explained theoretically from that angle. At optimum flowrate, operation time and initial iodine value (IV), the best results were observed at 28ºC of coolant temperature where high IV of olein and effective partition constant (K) obtained were 55.8 wijs and 0.27 respectively. Meanwhile, the highest U obtained at coolant temperature 28oC same as result for process efficiency at 392.9183 W/m².K and time at 55 min.

Published: September 2015

Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques was used in this study to develop the site suitability map for river bank filtration (RBF) locations based on a case study in Jenderam Hilir, Dengkil. A high resolution 2012 GeoEye-1 satellite image was classified into six classes using the supervised maximum likelihood classification process. The classified image was further analyzed using GIS techniques such as overlaying, buffering and Boolean analysis, to identify the suitability of a RBF location area based on location, distance from the river and distant from built up area. Geology and hydrogeological map were extracted from published maps, which are then converted and integrated into the GIS spatial database. The classified GeoEye-1 results show that the overall accuracy is 89% with kappa statistic of 0.864. The developed site suitability map for RBF locations also in good agreement with the existing borehole location of the study area.
PENANG USER’S PERCEPTION OF DOMESTIC WATER QUALITY, HEALTH RISK CONCERN AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Haitham Khattab Tuqa , Abdul Wahid Nabsiah 
Published: September 2015

The state of Penang has been known to be offering the lowest water tariff rate for its users in Malaysia. The most recent water services reform exercise in Malaysia saw a suggestion made for the abolishment of water subsidies by the federal government and for full cost recovery (FCR) approach to be applied. This means that the operating cost will be transferred to consumers instead. This study reports a descriptive pilot study results that explored Penang user’s responses to various issues pertaining to their perception of water quality, health risk concern and willingness to pay for increased water tariff. The findings show that users were not that happy with water quality only in terms of taste, suspended solids that should not have come out from the tap but sometimes they do, and chlorine content; however, not for its odor or color. As for health risk concern, although majority believe that their tap water adhered to the drinking standard set by World Health Organization (WHO), still many perceived that their tap water is associated with health risk and unsafe for drinking, which saw many opted to buy bottled water for their drinking consumption. As for willingness to pay, majority think that the tariff should not be increased at all, particularly at the current water quality provided to users. Gender and monthly income as part of demographic factor play important roles in enhancing the study’s outcome. The findings provide preliminary insight to how water users may act towards a possible water tariff increase in the state.

Published: September 2015

In selecting the best-fit distribution model for the rainfall event characteristics based on the inter-event time definition (IETD) of 6 hours for the selected rainfall in the Peninsular of Malaysia, seven distributions were utilized namely the beta (B4), exponential (EX1), gamma (G2), generalized extreme value (GEV), generalized Pareto (GP), Log-Pearson 3 (LP3), and Wakeby (WKB). Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) was applied to estimate the parameters of each distribution. Based on the results, GP, WKB and GEV were found to be the most suitable distribution for describing the rainfall event characteristics in the studied regions.
