Published: November 2014

Purpose
– In Australia, the Foodbank of Western Australia (Foodbank WA) has a reputation for being at the forefront of health promotion. The purpose of this paper is to describe Foodbank WA's innovative food bank plus approach of incorporating healthy lifestyle initiatives (i.e. nutrition and physical activity education) into its core food bank business, so as to target priority issues such as food insecurity, poor food literacy, overweight, obesity, poor nutrition and physical inactivity.

Design/methodology/approach
– A case study approach was utilised to explore Foodbank WA's Healthy Food for All® (HFFA) strategy. HFFA is a comprehensive state wide, school and community based strategy, including the School Breakfast Programme, Food Sensations® and Choose to Move initiatives, designed to promote healthy lifestyles to low socioeconomic and vulnerable groups – a major target group of food banks.

Findings
– Since its inception in 2007, the delivery of food, education and resources has increased across all of Foodbank WA's HFFA initiatives. Evaluation results from feedback surveys demonstrate the success of these interventions to positively impact upon food security, health and wellbeing of participants.

Originality/value
– HFFA is a unique, effective and novel strategy that addresses a number of health and nutrition issues. Food banks are well placed to deliver food literacy and healthy lifestyle initiatives. Foodbank WA's holistic approach and demonstrated success provides other food banks with a best practice model and knowledge base for the development of similar health promotion strategies and interventions.
Surplus food recovery and donation in Italy: the upstream process
Authors: Garrone Paola , Melacini Marco , Perego Alessandro 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– This paper offers quantitative evidence on how surplus food, i.e. safe food that is not sold to the intended customers, is generated and recovered within Italian manufacturing and retail firms. The purpose of this paper is to enlighten the process through which the food supply chain firms come to donate surplus food-to-food banks.

Design/methodology/approach
– Surplus food and recoverability were defined as the key terms of the problem. In total, 12 exploratory case studies were conducted to segment the manufacturing and retail sectors, to assess recoverability in each segment, and to establish the protocols for descriptive case studies. A multiple case-study approach was used and 83 firms were investigated.

Findings
– The primary source of surplus food is shown to result from products reaching the internal sell-by date, i.e. the date by which manufacturers and warehouses must supply perishable products. Donation to food banks is found to be a relevant management practice in the ambient and chilled manufacturing segments and at retail distribution centres, while frozen food companies and retail stores are found to rely nearly exclusively on waste disposal.

Research limitations/implications
– The degree to which our findings are specific to Italy is an issue to investigate. Future research should target surplus food management in farming and food services, and assess the cost effectiveness of alternative management channels.

Practical implications
– The paper highlights the changes required to increase the amount of food recovered by food banks. It also summarises the steps for establishing a structured procedure for managing surplus food within firms.

Originality/value
– The paper offers quantitative evidence on a relatively untapped yet socially relevant topic, i.e. the upstream process of food recovery and donation.
Parents’ experiences with hiding vegetables as a strategy for improving children's diets
Authors: Pescud Melanie , Pettigrew Simone 
Published: November 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore the practice of hiding vegetables among low socioeconomic parents.Design/methodology/approach– A qualitative longitudinal study involving 37 low socioeconomic Australian parents with at least one overweight or obese child aged five to nine years. Data were obtained with the use of interviews, focus groups, and self-introspections.Findings– Identified issues relating to the practice of hiding vegetables included: how parents manage hiding vegetables, children's presence in the kitchen during vegetable preparation, the employment of deception when hiding vegetables, the use of cookbooks and blogs, and the alternative views of parents not strongly in favour of hiding vegetables.Research limitations/implications– Hiding vegetables is a practice used by some parents to increase their children's vegetable intake. Children who are unaware of hidden vegetables in their meals are potentially missing the opportunity to develop an appreciation for vegetables and learn about vegetable preparation and cooking.Practical implications– The findings are relevant to dietitians, general practitioners, and other health professionals providing advice to parents on appropriate child-feeding strategies.Originality/value– This appears to be the first study to provide an in-depth account of low socioeconomic parents’ use of hiding vegetables to facilitate higher levels of vegetable consumption.
Social representation of new foods among European students
Authors: Mäkiniemi Jaana-Piia , Bäckström Anna , Ahola Salla , Pieri Michelle , Pirttilä-Backman Anna-Maija 
Published: November 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to measure how three components of social representations (SRs) of new foods, Adherence to technology, Adherence to natural food, and Food as enjoyment, relate to Finnish and Italian university students’ religiousness, country of origin, sex, and field of study.Design/methodology/approach– Italian and Finnish university students (n=564) completed a 27-item scale of SRs of new foods. A series of analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses.Findings– As expected, technology students scored higher on Adherence to technology than social science students, and women and religious persons scored higher on Adherence to natural food than men and non-religious persons. Unexpectedly, Finns scored higher on Food as an enjoyment than Italians.Originality/value– This study illustrates the usefulness of SR theory for studying food-related thinking, and throws more light on how religiousness, professional field, and sex are connected to the three components of SR of new foods in two European countries and food cultures.
SWOT analysis of the truffles market in Greece
Authors: Tsitsipati Vaia , Athanasios Christodoulou 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the suitability of Greece as a possible market for truffles. Primary data were collected and analysed in a systematic and detailed way to highlight the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of this prospective market development.

Design/methodology/approach
– A multi-stage survey was conducted using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The data obtained were analysed using the SWOT analysis method.

Findings
– The survey highlighted the market characteristics of truffles in Greece. These were sorted into four categories: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks. Results show that truffles have an attractive mix of qualities; however, issues such as the lack of intermediary and customer knowledge and the limited communication of their benefits need to be overcome.

Research limitations/implications
– Findings showed that the use of SWOT analysis in specialized food products provides marketers and professionals’ insight and guidance into designing their marketing activities.

Practical implications
– Truffles production or trading requires strong commitment by professionals who want to succeed in this market field.

Social implications
– Truffles market growth could contribute to the social welfare through the creation of supplemental income, the cultivation of arid fields and the conservation of natural resources due to their environmentally friendly manner of production.

Originality/value
– For the first time, SWOT analysis is used to investigate the factors that shape the market of specialized products in the food sector.
Internal and external networking behavior
Authors: Y. McCallum Shelly , L. Forret Monica , Wolff Hans-Georg 
Published: November 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships of internal and external networking behaviors of managers and professionals with their affective, continuance, and normative commitment.Design/methodology/approach– Data were obtained from 335 managers and professionals of a health system who completed a survey on networking behavior and organizational commitment. Correlation analyses and multiple regressions were performed to test our hypotheses.Findings– The results showed that networking behavior focussed within an individual's organization was positively related with affective commitment and normative commitment. Networking with individuals outside of an individual's organization showed a significant negative relationship with normative commitment. Contrary to expectations, networking externally was not related to affective commitment, and neither internal nor external networking behaviors were related to continuance commitment.Research limitations/implications– Because data were collected at a single point in time, no statements can be made about causality. Future research is needed assessing both internal and external networking behavior and the three types of organizational commitment across time to help determine direction of causality or whether reciprocal relationships exist.Practical implications– Organizations that encourage internal networking behaviors may see individuals who are more connected with their colleagues and affectively committed to their organizations. However, encouraging external networking behavior may result in a drop in normative commitment as individuals might identify more with their profession than their employer.Originality/value– Although previous research has shown that networking behavior is related to job performance and career success measures, the research extends the literature by investigating whether networking is related to attitudinal variables such as organizational commitment. The paper explores whether differential relationships exist between internal and external networking behavior with three types of organizational commitment.
Learning to stay employable
Authors: Emanuel Froehlich Dominik , Beausaert Simon , Segers Mien , Gerken Maike 
Published: November 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of chronological age and formal and informal learning activities on employability. Furthermore, indirect effects of age on employability via learning activities were tested.Design/methodology/approach– The authors conducted quantitative, cross-sectional survey research (n=780) in three Dutch and Austrian organizations to study the relationship between chronological age, formal and informal learning activities, and employability using structural equation modeling.Findings– The authors find that both formal and informal learning increase employees’ employability. However, each type of learning contributes to different components of employability. Additionally, the authors find indirect effects of chronological age on employability via formal learning.Research limitations/implications– The results question the focus on chronological age in organizational and political decision making and contribute new insights for the management of an increasingly older workforce.Practical implications– The findings question the predominant use of chronological age as decisive criterion in organizational and national policies and call for closer examination of stereotypes against older employees. Employees should be supported in pursuing learning activities – irrespective of their chronological age. The implications of limiting employees’ access to formal learning activities may limit their future employability. Individual employees, however, are in control of their informal learning activities, and this is a very important lever to maintain and develop employability.Social implications– Given the increasing dependency of social welfare systems on older people's active participation in the labor market, this study stresses that it is not chronological ageper sethat affects people's employability. This diverges from the way of how chronological age is used in policy making.Originality/value– This study contributes further evidence for the relationships of age and formal and informal learning on employability. Additionally, it extends previous literature by examining different effects on different facets of employability, criticizing the prevalent use of chronological age, and investigating potential mediation effects.
National standards: improving patient rights and safety of health services
Authors: O’Farrell Lisa , Byrne Michael , Moore Linda 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– Regulation is increasingly being used in healthcare to influence the behaviour of healthcare organisations. Since 2006, a key change in Ireland has been the introduction of national regulatory standards in mental health services under new legislation. Little empirical evidence, however, exists on the effects of regulation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the perceived impact of standards at patient level as well as on professional and organisational practice in services.

Design/methodology/approach
– An anonymous online survey methodology using a self-devised questionnaire instrument was employed. A national cohort of service managers and multi-disciplinary mental health professionals were asked their views on the introduction of standards.

Findings
– A total of 185 individuals responded to the survey, yielding a response rate of 38 per cent. Substantial improvements were reported to have taken place across services with the most notable changes being improved safeguarding of patients’ rights and increased safety of care. Additionally, major changes were reported in professional working with new topics being discussed at management meetings and new functions being incorporated into certain professionals’ roles.

Practical implications
– Standards can change behaviour at several levels across healthcare organisations, although professional groups differ in their views on the degree of this impact.

Originality value
– To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first evaluation of the impact of national regulatory standards in healthcare in Ireland. This study lends support to the use of standards to enhance patient rights and the safety of services. The results provide useful direction for policy makers, regulators, and service providers.

Authors: Bai Chun-Jiang , Li Jian-Qing , Hu Yu-Lu 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present a 2.5-dimensional (2.5-D) frequency-domain nonlinear computer model for the beam-wave interaction of coupled-cavity traveling wave tubes (CC-TWTs).

Design/methodology/approach
– MKK (proposed by Malykhin, Konnov, and Komarov) equivalent circuit model is used to describe the coupled-cavity slow-wave structure. And the losses are taken into account in the MKK equivalent circuit. Instead of one-dimensional (1-D) disk model, the electron beam is divided into a set of discrete rays and the electron dynamics are treated using the three-dimensional (3-D) Lorentz force equations.

Findings
– The simulated result obtained show that the computer model can give a good predict for CC-TWTs in V-band.

Practical implications
– The computer model is capable of treating nonlinear problems. Compared with particle-in-cell simulation, the 2.5-D frequency-domain computer model spends less time. Besides, the 3-D electron trajectory can be used to design high-efficiency collectors for CC-TWTs.

Originality/value
– The computer model is able to simulate nonlinear problems of coupled-cavity TWT faster.
Optimal design of synchronous reluctance machine
Authors: Cai Haiwei , Guan Bo , Xu Longya , Choi Woongchul 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present optimally designed synchronous reluctance machine (SynRM) to demonstrate the feasibility of eliminating the use of rare earth permanent magnet (PM) in electric machine for vehicle traction applications.

Design/methodology/approach
– A typical rare earth interior permanent magnet (IPM) machine is used as the benchmark to conduct the optimal design study. Based on the flux distribution, major changes are made to the rotor lamination design. Enhanced torque production and lower torque ripple are specifically targeted as the two main objectives of the proposed design approach.

Findings
– As a result, the optimally designed SynRM can achieve performance very close to that of the benchmark PM machine with a potential for further improvement.

Originality/value
– Discussions of IPM replacement by optimally designed SynRM in electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles are given in terms of performance and cost.
Optimal design of low-cost IPM AC motor
Authors: Shen Jianxin , Wang Kang , Shi Dan , Wang Canfei , Jin Mengjia 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present the optimal design of a low-cost interior permanent magnet (IPM) alternating current (AC) motor. It examines the influence of the permanent magnet (PM) materials, and proposes a simple and practical method of optimizing the air-gap field to achieve sinusoidal back electromotive force (EMF), and to reduce the cogging torque.

Design/methodology/approach
– IPM AC motors with different magnet materials and various topologies are comparatively studied. Finite element method (FEM) is used to predict the performances of these designs. Material costs and manufacture costs are both taken into account. Finally, an optimized design is prototyped and tested, validating the design considerations.

Findings
– In an IPM AC motor, even if the rotor outer profile is round, the air-gap field distribution can be fined, while the cogging torque can be significantly reduced, by properly shaping the stator tooth tips. Nevertheless, this technique is usually applicable to motor configurations with concentrated windings, but not to those with distributed windings.

Originality/value
– While using ferrite magnets for PM AC motors with a kW power, interior magnets are usually inserted in V-shaped slots, and the rotor outer profile is often shaped in order to enhance the air-gap field distribution. However, such a rotor configuration usually increases the manufacture costs, and also deteriorates the consistency of mass production. Therefore, a new motor configuration with a round rotor outer profile and shaped stator tooth tips is proposed. It can not only overcome the aforementioned problems, but also improve the motor performance.
Torque ripple analysis for IPM AC motors
Authors: Shen Jianxin , Shi Dan , Wang Canfei , Li Peng , Wang Kang , Jin Mengjia 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new cause of torque ripple in interior permanent magnet (IPM) alternating current (AC) motors, which is common but has hardly been studied. The paper also proposes a new method to suppress the total torque ripple.

Design/methodology/approach
– Besides the well-known cogging torque and mutual torque ripple, a new ripple which exists in the reluctance torque is found. It is verified with both analytical model and finite element analysis. Also, a novel method is proposed to reduce the reluctance torque ripple, with experimental validation.

Findings
– It is usually said that the winding inductances of an IPM AC motor vary sinusoidally with the rotor position, thus, the d-axis and q-axis inductances are constant, whilst the reluctance torque is smooth. However, in most practical motors, the inductances vary irregularly, causing a significant ripple in the reluctance torque. Moreover, in machine design, it is always desirable to suppress the cogging torque as much as possible. However, in this paper, it is proved that the cogging torque can remain and be used to cancel the reluctance torque ripple.

Originality/value
– Torque ripple in the IPM AC motors is usually reduced by suppressing the cogging torque and making both back electromotive forces and currents sinusoidal. However, this paper reveals the new cause of the torque ripple due to the irregular variation of winding inductances. Moreover, the paper gives a new method to cancel the reluctance torque ripple with the cogging torque.

Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to disseminate the lessons learned from the successful deployment of a wave energy converter (WEC) and accelerate growth in the field of ocean energy.

Design/methodology/approach
– A thorough, well structured, documented, industrial approach was taken to the deployment because of the depth and scale of the task required. This approach is shown throughout the paper, which reflects the importance of a comprehensive project plan in success as well as failure.

Findings
– The findings demonstrate the viability of the use of off shore WEC to generate electricity and that such a project can be completed on time and on budget.

Research limitations/implications
– The research implications of the paper include the importance of an enhanced, integrated supervisory system control in terms of efficiency, operation and maintenance, and long-term viability of WECs. This paper can be used to help guide the direction of further research in similar areas.

Practical implications
– The practical implications include proof that WEC deployments can be carried out both on time and under budget. It highlights much of the practical data collected throughout the course of the project and presents it so that it might be used as a guide for future projects.

Originality/value
– At the time of this paper, successful deployment of off shore WECs has been a rare accomplishment. Because the project was publicly funded, the data collected during this project, both technical and practical, is freely available.

Authors: Rebhi Rabeb , Ibala Amina , Masmoudi Ahmed 
Published: November 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the generating capability of a novel hybrid excited brushless claw pole alternator (HEBCPA) with improved cost-effectiveness gained thanks to the substitution the rotor NdFeB-made permanent magnet (PM) with ferrite ones.

Design/methodology/approach
– The investigation of the magnetic features of the novel HEBCPA has been carried out using a 3D finite element analysis (FEA).

Findings
– It has been found that the machine generating capability is not affected by the substitution of the single rotor NdFeB-made PM by stator and rotor ferrite-made ones, which represents a crucial cost benefit.

Research limitations/implications
– An experimental validation of the features computed by FEA shall be considered as an outlook of the present work.

Practical implications
– The novel HEBCPA could be of great interest for automotive generating systems.

Originality/value
– The proposed HEBCPA with ferrite-made PMs is a novel concept.
