Authors: Tang Shufeng , Qi Ligen , Zhao Guoqing , Chang Hong , Guo Shijie , Zhang Xuewei 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to design a new type of magnetic suction wall-climbing robot suitable for the wall inspection of wind turbine towers to solve the problems in manual maintenance tasks.

Design/methodology/approach
By analyzing the shortcomings of existing wall-climbing robots, a magnetic suction integrated wheel structure is designed to effectively combine the adsorption structure and transmission structure. To enable the robot to adapt to the curvature of the wall surface of a wind turbine tower, a passive adaptive curvature structure is designed. The effects of the air gap, the thickness of the wheel plates on both sides, the size of permanent magnets and the size of aluminum rings on the adsorption force are studied. Through mechanical model analysis under different instability conditions, the magnetic circuit of the magnetic wheel is optimized and designed.

Findings
Applying the wall-climbing robot to engineering practice, experiments have shown that the developed wall-climbing robot can move safely and stably on the wall of the wind turbine tower. The robot can also carry a load of 20 kg, and the designed adaptive structure can cause the magnetic wheel to deflect up to 20° relative to the vehicle body, fully meeting the curvature requirements of the minimum diameter end of the wind turbine tower.

Originality/value
This paper proposes a magnetic suction integrated wheel structure through analysis of the working environment. And the parameters affecting the magnetic wheel adsorption performance were optimized. Meanwhile, a passive adaptive wind turbine tower curvature structure was proposed.
Translating social sustainability goals into performance measurement practices
Authors: Argento Daniela , Brorström Sara , Grossi Giuseppe 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the development and use of social sustainability performance measurement practices at the city level. This purpose is achieved by addressing the following research question: How do city actors translate social sustainability strategies into performance measurement practices?Design/methodology/approachAn extensive ethnographic study was conducted with a focus on how social sustainability – as defined in the vision and related strategies of the Swedish city of Gothenburg – was translated into performance measurement practices and how performance indicators and assessment tools were transformed over time in the pursuit of social sustainability goals. Findings were interpreted through the lens of Actor Network Theory concept of translation.FindingsFindings reveal how, through a chain of translations, social sustainability and related performance indicators and other assessment tools evolve over time. Social sustainability deviated from the original politically decided definition, as stated in the strategy, because it was transformed by the human and nonhuman actors engaged with it. Social sustainability performance measurement practices lost relevance as internal steering tools and became a means for gaining external legitimacy.Practical implicationsPerformance measurement and assessment tools initially intended to monitor the achievement of social sustainability goals lose their meaningfulness when their main use becomes a formal accomplishment rather than an opportunity for improvement.Originality/valueThis paper highlights how translations which destabilize social sustainability can affect the city management and influence the overarching social sustainability aims of the whole city. The presence of many actors gives room to “theoretical” and “practical” translations which deviate the course of actions.

Published: January 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to enrich the knowledge of international practitioners and academics on the role of the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) under substantial crisis conditions. For this, we analyse the case of the Ukrainian SAI affected by the war.Design/methodology/approachThis is a viewpoint of Ukrainian practitioners and academics that is built on official documentation and reports, as well as experiences of practitioners directly engaged in the activities of the SAI.FindingsThis study shows the role of the Ukrainian SAI before the war and discusses how it has changed during the war and what have been the main challenges. The multi-faceted challenges faced by the Ukrainian SAI (staff shortages, disrupted operations, limited access to documents, and increased focus on defence and humanitarian audits) caused a shift towards risk-based approaches, accelerated adoption of the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI) and strengthened international collaboration. We forecast that the role of the SAI will become even more prominent in the future reconstruction phase.Practical implicationsUsing Ukrainian experience as a case, the paper exemplifies actions required to maintain public accountability and governance, even amidst significant disruption and uncertainty.Originality/valueTo our knowledge, this is the first practitioners’ paper written about the experience of SAIs operating under war conditions.

Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study aims to examine the role of mindful consumption in promoting rural sustainability, particularly in the context of tourism in Muang Kaen Community, Chiang Mai, Thailand, by establishing a robust circular economy.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through in-depth interviews with 28 informants who are tourism stakeholders regarding sustainable development, i.e. government officers, business owners, community leaders and community members in Muang Kaen, to achieve the data triangulation. A thematic analysis of the interview data was employed in this data set.FindingsThe findings demonstrate three key themes for driving sustainable community development: a sense of community, leadership and embodiment. At an individual level, local community members co-create a sense of community through Thainess, which gradually forms the social commitment to caring for neighbors, the community, and the environment. Carefulness also relates to another theme, “leadership” – social capital, which drives mindful behavior among the community members. Both situational and official leaders are key persons in forming a culture of sustainability within the community. Finally, the community can achieve sustainable goals by driving from the individual to the collective level through the embodiment.Research limitations/implicationsThis single-case study warrants further examination across different communities to generalize the findings to broader circumstances.Originality/valueThis study has shed light on how rural tourism can drive sustainable development through a circular economy and mindful consumption.

Authors: Kaur Sukhpreet , Arora Meenal , Mittal Amit 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study aims to explore two main objectives. Firstly, it examines the mediating roles of green human resource management practices (GHRMPs) and green employee creativity (GEC) between green transformational leadership (GTL) and green employee behaviour. Secondly, it investigates the moderating effect of green individual values (GIVs) on the indirect relationship between GTL and green employee behaviour.Design/methodology/approachThe study involved 326 employees from ECOTEL-certified hotels in India. Analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) AMOS and MACRO.FindingsThe results indicate a direct relationship between GTL and green employee behaviour. Additionally, GHRMPs and GEC partially mediate this relationship. Furthermore, GIVs positively moderate the indirect relationship between GTL and green employee behaviour, specifically moderating the path between GHRMPs and GEC.Originality/valueThis study fills a significant gap in the literature by investigating the combined effects of GTL, GHRMPs, GEC and GIVs on employee pro-environmental behaviour. Understanding these relationships is crucial for organizations aiming to implement effective green initiatives and cultivate a culture of environmental responsibility among employees. This study is ground-breaking in its approach, delving into the complex network of interconnected variables through both mediation and moderation analyses. By doing so, it aims to uncover the intricate mechanisms influencing employees' inclination towards pro-environmental behaviour.
Optimizing building performance through the integration of electrochromic glass technology in building facades: a simulation-based study of an office building in Cairo, Egypt
Authors: Moraekip Eslam Mohamed 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe built environment enhances quality of life, prompting architects and engineers to explore innovative technologies for improving building performance. Electrochromic (EC) glass technology is one such solution that offers real-time control of building facade glazing properties. Conventional building materials often struggle to adapt to changing external conditions, increasing reliance on mechanical systems. EC glass technology addresses this by adjusting its tint in response to these conditions, potentially reducing energy consumption and improving comfort.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigates the advantages of integrating EC glass technology into building facades by evaluating its efficacy in enhancing thermal performance, energy efficiency, and operational expenses. The study uses building performance simulation software to model a proposed office building in Cairo, Egypt, comparing two scenarios: one with conventional glazing and the other with EC glass technology. The aim is to highlight the benefits of EC glass technology in building facades for improving thermal comfort, daylighting and energy efficiency. The analysis will compare cooling and heating designs and energy consumption, ultimately concluding the technology’s impact on enhancing energy efficiency.FindingsIntegrating EC glass technology significantly reduces solar heat gains and heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption. Solar heat gains dropped by 77.47%, resulting in a 50.95% decrease in HVAC energy use compared to conventional glazing. This technology also enhances thermal comfort and daylighting, improving the indoor environment.Originality/valueThen, integrating EC glass technology improves building performance, resulting in energy savings, enhanced comfort and efficient daylight use. This technology is essential for sustainable building design, contributing to resilient and enjoyable environments.

Statistical-based simulation and reflow profile optimization for improving self-alignment performance − an experimental study
Authors: Zhang Zhenxuan , Kim Jaewoo , Won Daehan 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
There are three major processes in the surface mounting technology (SMT) manufacturing line, namely, printing, mounting and reflowing. During the reflow process, the printed solder pastes are melted into liquid and cooled down into solid again, forming the solder joint. During this process, because of the combined force of the liquid solder, the components will move from the placed location to the final location. This is known as the self-alignment performance in the reflow process. From the comparable studies, it is known that the reflow process with a longer time above the liquidus (TAL) results in better self-alignment performance, as well as higher peak temperatures of the reflow profiles. The TAL and the peak temperatures are influenced by multiple factors, but the experimental designs from the comparable studies kept the same ramping and cooling slopes to modify the TAL and the peak temperature. The purpose of this study is to study on the multiple factors influencing the TAL and the peak temperatures (ramping slope, cooling slope and peak temperature) by conducting designed experiments for each of the factors.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the TAL-influencing features are studied independently, including ramping slope, cooling slope and peak temperature; designed and conducted an experiment to reveal the relationship between the self-alignment and each of the three features; the statistical-based model for the combination of the three features for optimal self-alignment performance; and proposed a statistical-based simulation model for the offset after reflow.

Findings
The authors conducted a case study validating the mounter optimization model previously proposed. As a result, the optimized reflow profile improved the self-alignment performance by at least 10%, and the simulation within the error of 15 µm.

Research limitations/implications
This research is statistical-based, which is limited to component types and sizes used in the design of experiments (DOE). The model proposed in this study can suggest a new reflow profile that can increase the self-alignment performance, which is critical to the solder joint quality, especially long-term quality.

Practical implications
This study can suggest a new reflow profile that can increase the self-alignment performance, which is critical to the solder joint quality, especially long-term quality.

Social implications
This study can suggest a new reflow profile that can increase the self-alignment performance, which is critical to the solder joint quality, especially long-term quality.

Originality/value
The proposed statistical-based soldering reflow target profile optimization model offers a novel and practical approach. The soldering profile provided by the manufacturer contains recommended and acceptable ranges in the critical features. This study provides the optimal setting within the ranges.
Neighbourhood Effects Across Generations and the Reproduction of Inequality
Authors: Silva Laura 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper analyses the enduring impact of neighbourhood deprivation on youth development, exploring multigenerational aspects often overlooked in existing research. I investigate how neighbourhood environments experienced across two generations impact youth outcomes, focussing on cognitive skills and socio‐emotional behaviour. Using data from the 1958 National Child Development Study in the UK, this study employs a Regression with Residuals (RWR) design to comprehensively assess any long‐lasting effects. The results point to an enduring impact of neighbourhood deprivation on both outcomes, revealing that sustained exposure to disadvantage drives persistently different developmental trajectories. I find evidence for a transmission mechanism, indicating that exposure to neighbourhood deprivation during parental own formative years affects their offspring's outcomes, directly and indirectly. While parental formative neighbourhood environments significantly shape cognitive development through mechanisms related to education and income, socio‐emotional outcomes are also influenced by the legacy of neighbourhood context across generations. While conventional approaches focus on a single point in time, this study contributes to neighbourhood effects literature by taking a lengthier perspective and acknowledging the protracted and influential role that neighbourhoods as social institutions may play in shaping individual opportunities and inequality dynamics over time.
“Why Do We Have to be Almost Dead to Qualify for Help?”: Criminal Legal and Protection System Responses to Intimate Partner Violence Against Indigenous Women in Canada
Authors: Kaye Julie , Glecia Alana 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAnalyzing 30 one‐on‐one qualitative interviews with Indigenous women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), this article provides a critical examination of responses to IPV by criminal legal and related systems of intervention, such as child and family services. More specifically, the article analyzes the voiced experiences of Indigenous women who sought support from systems designed to address IPV and gendered and sexualized violence. Grounded in Indigenous feminist thought and theories of settler colonial gendered violence, the study reveals that in the context of ongoing settler colonial gendered violence, Indigenous women survivors of IPV victimization in Canada were overwhelmingly met with revictimization and violence by the systems tasked with anti‐violence intervention. The article considers decolonial approaches to responding to IPV against Indigenous women that foreground the strength and sovereignty of Indigenous women.
The Object Not of One's Desire: UK Service Club Membership Recruitment, Retention, and Public Image
Authors: Yates David 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTMembership organizations rely on maintaining and growing their membership base, both for financial stability and to allow them to increase their impact. UK service clubs are one such kind of membership organization that has suffered a decline in membership in more recent years and is seeking to address this to maintain their presence. However, membership recruitment and retention have proven problematic for these organizations, in particular, recruitment and retention of younger members to ensure the continuity of the organization. This paper utilizes a theoretical framework based on the work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and contemporary philosopher Slavoj Zizek, in order to conceptualize the issues around membership and public image within the theoretical constructs of identity, ideology, and desire. This is combined with a qualitative methodological framework utilizing 42 semistructured interviews with service club members and external stakeholders (donors, beneficiaries, and local government representatives). The results of this research found that although current members profess to desire younger members to join, they are reluctant to change their organization to facilitate this. Instead, icons and rituals combine to form an image of the organization that is unappealing to younger prospective members, relegating their desire to join to an almost purely symbolic act. This, therefore, carries implications for service clubs and their membership, especially when considering the level of engagement that potential younger members would be prepared to offer in the future. The strong ideological forces at play within service clubs mean that they will continue to appeal to a relatively narrow membership profile (one that sees their current operation aligned to an organizational “ego ideal” that is symbolically constructed and maintained).
