The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a major nuclear physics facility for research with fast, stopped, and reaccelerated beams that was successfully commissioned in May 2022. A key capability of FRIB is the production of an acceleration of the uranium beam, but this capability requires the facility to work at the design limits of the lowest charge-to-mass ratio and the highest power density on the beam intercepting devices. This paper presents techniques for overcoming the significant challenges in accelerating the uranium beam, culminating in the demonstration of 10.4 kW on target, and the discovery of three new isotopes. The high-power uranium beam enabled us to produce and identify G88a, A93s, and S96e, within the first 24 h of operation. The successful uranium operation at FRIB sets a new record for accelerated uranium beam power above 10 kW and opens a new avenue of research with rare isotopes.

Authors: Abdou Ahmed Hassan , Chan Markus Patrick , Rehman Shafique Ur , Albakhit Azam Ibrahem Ali , Almakhayitah Muhanna Yousef 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe research investigates the relationship between halal credence, awareness, certification, need for cognition (NC), effort, health consciousness, and satisfaction towards halal food (STHF). In addition, observe the influence of STHF on purchase intention explored. Finally, religiosity is examined as a moderator between STHF and halal purchase intention.Design/methodology/approachThe data was collected from Muslim participants in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China. A total of 476 respondents take part in this research. The data was collected from Muslims who eat food from halal food hotels. A purposive sampling technique is used to collect data from respondents. PLS-SEM is followed to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results reveal that halal credence, awareness, certification, effort, and health consciousness increase STHF. Conversely, NC does not influence STHF. Moreover, STHF significantly determines halal purchase intention. Finally, religiosity strengthens the positive association between STHF and purchase intention.Practical implicationsFood marketers and policy decision-makers can use research findings to enhance halal purchase intention. In China, Muslim customers usually search for halal food by putting in extra effort and seeing halal certification. They trust halal food because religiosity is their priority.Originality/valueThis initial research incorporates halal credence, halal awareness, certification, NC, effort, health consciousness, STHF, and religiosity to examine halal purchase intention using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).

Authors: Wang KangLe 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe main aim of this paper is to investigate the fractional coupled nonlinear Helmholtz equation by two new analytical methods.Design/methodology/approachThis article takes an inaugural look at the fractional coupled nonlinear Helmholtz equation by using the conformable derivative. It successfully finds new fractional periodic solutions and solitary wave solutions by employing methods such as the fractional method and the fractional simple equation method. The dynamics of these fractional periodic solutions and solitary wave solutions are then graphically represented in 3D with appropriate parameters and fractal dimensions. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension and detailed exploration of the dynamics involved in high dimensional solitary wave propagation.FindingsThe proposed two mathematical approaches are simple and efficient to solve fractional evolution equations.Originality/valueThe fractional coupled nonlinear Helmholtz equation is described by using the conformable derivative for the first time. The obtained fractional periodic solutions and solitary wave solutions are completely new.
Regulating digital security by design? Implications of the perspectives from DSbD programme stakeholders
Authors: Slesinger Ian , Panteli Niki , Coles-Kemp Lizzie 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
As part of the growing necessity for inter-organisational and multi-disciplinary interaction to facilitate complex innovation in digital security, there needs to be greater engagement with regulation in the innovation process. This is particularly true in the case of security technologies that are embedded within wider systems and that are largely invisible to most of the users of that system. This paper aims to describe stakeholders’ perspectives on regulation in the digital security innovation process and evaluates the implications of these perspectives on anticipatory regulation in digital security.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured expert interviews and ethnographic participant observation, the study draws on the authors’ involvement in a formally organised programme of academia–industry–government collaboration called Digital Security by Design (DSbD).

Findings
The study highlights a relational dimension to establishing regulatory responsibilities that is enabled through interdisciplinary dialogue. The study contributes to understanding the multifaceted roles of regulation in digital security innovation across organisations and areas of expertise. It does so by identifying four themes in how regulation is perceived in the DSbD programme: ethical imperative, adding value, adoption lever and passive compliance.

Practical implications
Incorporating regulatory responsibilities through dialogue early in the innovation process, rather than only once a security technology’s deleterious effects are noticeable, which could make digital innovation and transformation safer and better regulated. It can also make regulation successfully adopted, rather than an exercise in damage control or an adversarial process between regulators and organisations.

Originality/value
This paper presents original empirical research on how regulation is considered by stakeholders in a novel multi-disciplinary digital security innovation process. It then uses these findings as a basis to evaluate the implications for establishing regulatory responsibilities for a class of security technologies that are embedded within wider systems and that are largely invisible to most of the users of those wider systems.

Authors: Alkaf Abdur Rachman , Yusliza M.Y. , Foster Bob , Farooq Khalid , Ramayah T. , Muhammad Zikri 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This research aims to investigate the influence of green human resource management (HRM), with analysis and description of job position, recruitment, selection, training, performance assessment and rewards on sustainability with the resource-based view (RBV) theory as underlying theory. The extent to which absorptive capacity strengthened the “green HRM-sustainability” link as a buffering mechanism was also examined.

Design/methodology/approach
The study model was tested with empirical data gathered from 253 Indonesian oil and gas firms. The elicited data were analysed using structural equation modelling using partial least squares (PLS).

Findings
Resultantly, the (i) analysis and description of job position and (ii) recruitment positively influenced sustainability. Absorptive capacity also influenced the strength of the moderated relationship between (i) recruitment and (ii) training and sustainability.

Originality/value
As far as we know, this is the first study which assigned the moderator role of absorptive capacity in a relationship between green HRM and sustainability in oil and gas firms in Indonesia. Notably, the theoretical and practical implications of applying the empirical outcomes to the oil and gas sector were extensively discussed.
Does IT culture archetypes affect the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of e-banking services? A multistage approach of Algerian customers
Authors: Latreche Hela , Bellahcene Mohammed , Dutot Vincent 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis paper explores the effect of individual information technology culture archetypes on the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of e-banking customers.Design/methodology/approachA multi-stage approach was used. First, a cluster analysis was performed (based on a survey of 360 Algerian bank customers). Second, a multiple regression analysis was assessed to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe cluster analysis reveals five IT cultural groups for e-banking customers: dangerous, dodgers, compliant dodgers, disenchanted and addicted customers. A mapping of these archetypes is then proposed and tested. The multiple regression analysis shows that the dangerous IT culture archetype exhibit the highest level of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness beliefs when the dodgers show the lowest one.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited in that it adopts a relatively small convenience sampling in Northwest Algeria. Furthermore, enriching the model with other antecedents could be of use. However, it clarifies the issue of whether the same IT culture archetypes can be found in different contexts and show that the IT cultural archetypes list is not exhaustive.Practical implicationsThe study contributes to the existing knowledge on e-banking adoption in developing countries and provides Algerian banks with some crucial elements.Originality/valueThis paper is one of the first to investigate the impact of IT culture archetypes on e-banking adoption. It (1) identified five IT culture archetypes, (2) proposed a mapping of these archetypes, (3) reinforces the use of the spinning top model and (4) goes further as it applies it in a new context (developing country) and industry (banking).
The dark figure of murder and unsolved homicides in the USA
Authors: Minkler Molly , DeLisi Matt , Marquart James , Scurich Nicholas 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to use a novel data set of 636 murderers sentenced to death in California to investigate homicide offenses that are committed but not prosecuted or officially solved, a concept known as the dark figure of crime.

Design/methodology/approach
Uaing appellate records from the Supreme Court of California, which contain extensive information about the offender’s background, criminal offense history and mental health diagnoses, it was revealed that one-third of the offenders in the sample have additional homicide offenses for which they likely bear responsibility, but were not prosecuted.

Findings
Most of these involve one or two additional homicides, though a wide range was observed spanning 0 to 93 additional victims. Those with a dark figure of murder and unsolved homicides had substantially more prior arrests, convictions and prison incarcerations and were higher in psychopathy, sexual sadism, homicidal ideation and gang involvement than offenders without a dark figure. Psychopathy and homicidal ideation were the most robust predictors of both the presence and magnitude of a dark figure of murder and unsolved homicides, whereas sexual sadism was inconsistently associated.

Originality/value
A disproportionate amount of the unsolved murders in the USA are likely perpetrated by the most pathological types of offenders, those with extensive antisocial careers and severe externalizing psychopathology.

Published: June 2024

PurposeThis research has been carried out to study the impact of critical success factors (CSFs) on successful project management of projects in the manufacturing sector. These success factors will pave the way for the successful completion of projects for the manufacturing sector. CSFs play a vital role in the timely conclusion of projects in any organization. For the projects to be successful certain essential factors must be taken into account. These essential factors are identified through this research.Design/methodology/approachDuring this study an adaptive survey of the literature was conducted, after a detailed literature review certain success factors were identified for project management in the manufacturing sector. The number of success factors was reduced to 40 factors based on the level of incidence in the literature. The length of the questionnaire was also given due importance to make the survey more interesting and effective. After that Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was employed to screen the most essential factors. In the end, the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process (FAHP) was used to rank these factors in order of importance.FindingsProject Manager Leadership Skills, Economic Environment, Top Management Support, Project Planning, Clear and realistic Goals, and Financial Support have come out to be the most important CSFs for successful project management in the manufacturing sector.Originality/valueThis is novel research to identify CSFs for project management in the manufacturing sector. Previously, most of the studies remained focused on construction and software projects.

Authors: Gardner Alan , Orr Allison M. , Jackson Cath , White James T. 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe retail investment landscape in the UK has drastically changed. Understanding owners’ responses to this structural change is critical to gain insight into protecting investment performance. This paper identifies and evaluates the tactics and strategies being adopted.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs a mixed methods research approach, using data collected from semi-structured interviews with professionals involved in the retail investment process. This is supplemented by secondary market data analysis.FindingsThe paper assesses the practical responses made by retail property owners/managers, structured around emerging sub-themes. Actions include mitigating short-term risks through greater use of temporary tenants/licensees and independent retailers, preparing generic “white box” retail space to capture remaining tenant demand, exploiting the tenant mix to provide “the retail experience,” and applying new technologies and processes in a sector where systematic risk remains high. A new framework for retail asset management has been developed.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the retail asset management literature and understanding of the way the contemporary retail landscape is shaping investment management behaviour.Practical implicationsThe developed framework provides guidance to real estate managers developing a retail real estate management strategy and will help them recognise tactics to better support the evolving retailing market.Originality/valueThe new framework adds new insights to understanding the process for managing retail assets and the actions necessary for asset managers to address economic/functional obsolescence and sustain asset investment values.
Diagnosing patient flow issues in the emergency department: an Australasian hospital case study
Authors: Boehme Tillmann , Rylands Brogan , Fan Joshua Poh , Williams Sharon , Deakins Eric 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis study investigates how a hospital can increase the flow of patients through its emergency department by using benchmarking and process improvement techniques borrowed from the manufacturing sector.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth case study of an Australasian public hospital utilises rigorous, multi-method data collection procedures with systems thinking to benchmark an emergency department (ED) value stream and identify the performance inhibitors.FindingsHigh levels of value stream uncertainty result from inefficient processes and weak controls. Reduced patient flow arises from senior management’s commitment to simplistic government targets, clinical staff that lack basic operations management skills, and fragmented information systems. High junior/senior staff ratios aggravate the lack of inter-functional integration and poor use of time and material resources, increasing the risk of a critical patient incident.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is limited to a single case; hence, further research should assess value stream maturity and associated performance enablers and inhibitors in other emergency departments experiencing patient flow delays.Practical implicationsThis study illustrates how hospital managers can use systems thinking and a context-free performance benchmarking measure to identify needed interventions and transferable best practices for achieving seamless patient flow.Originality/valueThis study is the first to operationalise the theoretical concept of the seamless healthcare system to acute care as defined by Parnaby and Towill (2008). It is also the first to use the uncertainty circle model in an Australasian public healthcare setting to objectively benchmark an emergency department's value stream maturity.

Authors: Ibarra-Cisneros Manuel-Alejandro , Vela-Reyna Juan Benito , Hernandez-Perlines Felipe 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
The purpose of the present paper is to analyse the impact of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and customer orientation (Co.) on innovation in the restaurant industry, as well as how innovation also positively influences financial and market performance. Likewise, it is analysed whether human capital (HC) and competitive strategy (CS) have a moderating effect between innovation and performance.

Design/methodology/approach
To reach the stated goals, a survey was applied to 129 entrepreneurs in the restaurant industry in Baja California, Mexico and using partial least squares structural equation modelling, the research hypotheses were verified.

Findings
Results indicate that EO and Co positively influence innovation, which also furthers better financial and market firm performance; however, no moderating effect was found for HC nor CS.

Practical implications
The findings allow contributing from a practical-entrepreneurial standpoint, as it raises awareness about the importance of developing strategies that allow efficiently gaining knowledge to encourage a culture in the restaurant industry focused on EO and Co, which, for their part, will boost the design and implementation of innovations.

Social implications
The paper contributes to understanding the behaviour of HC and CS, which may have an influence or not, depending on the role they have within a system.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to raising awareness of the importance of developing strategies that allow efficient knowledge to foster a culture in the restaurant industry focused on entrepreneurship and clientele.

Authors: Mohamed Wessam , Almuqayteeb Taghreed , Abd El Sattar Ibrahim , Al-Ghamdi Taghreed , Alotaibi Ghazi 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the best practices to institutionalize the internal quality of student assessment (SA) when a gap emerges between quality conceptualization and practice work, using Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University (IAU) as a case study.

Design/methodology/approach
A single-embedded case study research design chronologically presents key events of assuring and improving SA at IAU. It integrates quantitative and qualitative data to provide empirical evidence of changes in SA practices.

Findings
Over three years, evident improvements in SA practices resulted in more effective internal quality assurance strategies (e.g., faculty involvement) and the achievement of performance indicators.

Research limitations/implications
This study used data from informal observation and self-reports. Thus, it is suggested that future research should use in-depth (e.g. focus group) and diverse data sources from stakeholders (e.g. students) and use emerging global trends to assess SA quality.

Practical implications
Involving faculty as changing agents via accountability and training in assuring and improving SA quality leads to measurable improvements.

Social implications
A top-down approach alone is insufficient to assure and improve the quality of SA practices, so empowering faculty via involvement and training is inevitable.

Originality/value
The quality assurance of SA described in this practice-oriented case places IAU as a leading university in the region, contributes to the external quality assurance of SA, empowers Saudi graduates to compete in the labor market as aspired in Vision 2030 and adds to the literature on quality assurance of SA in a higher education context.
The effect of printing parameters on the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced PA6 matrix composites in material extrusion-based additive manufacturing
Authors: Dogru Alperen , Seydibeyoglu M. Ozgur 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to understand the effect of the use of different proportions and types of fibers in the polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix during material extrusion-based additive manufacturing (MEX) and the effect of the manufacturing parameters on the mechanical properties. The mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of PA composites that are reinforced with carbon fiber (CF), glass fiber (GF) and as well as hybrid fiber (HF) were investigated.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the effect of nozzle temperature and layer thickness on the mechanical properties of composite samples was investigated in terms of their behavior under tensile, impact and compression loads, manufacturing parameters as well as fiber ratio and type. The results were also consolidated by scanning electron microscopy.

Findings
At 20 Wt.% CF reinforcement PA6 samples, a tensile strength value of 125 MPa was obtained with a 60% increase in tensile strength value compared to neatPA6. The HF-reinforced ones also measured a tensile strength value of 106.69 MPa. This corresponds to an increase of 38% compared to neatPA6. The results also show that HF reinforcement can be an important component for many composites and a suitable material for use under compression loading.

Originality/value
PA6, an engineering polymer, can be produced by MEX, which offers several advantages for complex geometries and customized designs. There are studies on different carbon and GF ratios in the PA6 matrix. Using these fibers together in a HF, the examination of their mechanical properties in the MEX method and the examination of the effect of GF reinforcement in the hybrid structure, which has a cost-reducing effect, has been an innovative approach. In this study, the results of the optimization of the parameters affecting the mechanical properties in the production of samples reinforced with different ratios and types of fibers in the PA6 matrix by the MEX method are presented.
