The emergence of academic entrepreneurship is a recent phenomenon and the application of academic entrepreneurship is not consistent nor has consensus among institutions (Mars and Metcalfe, 2009). Mars and Rios-Aguilar (2010) posited that to understand the benefits and barriers of supporting and creating entrepreneurial activity in higher education, researchers need to apply the following conceptual dimensions when studying academic entrepreneurship: (1) creative disruption; (2) (dis)equilibrium; (3) innovation; (4) value creation; (5) [and] opportunity recognition. In this dissertation, a qualitative multi case study examined academic entrepreneurship with particular attention focused on the 07 session administrator and how that role influences and interprets university entrepreneurial activity. Through data analysis, the researcher sought to understand how university 07 session administrators as institutional entrepreneurs foster innovation and entrepreneurship within a university landscape and additionally, how university 07 session programs engage in entrepreneurial market and nonmarket or socially-oriented activities; ultimately recognizing how institutions may adopt the activity into the broader university strategic plan (Mars and Rios-Aguilar). The participants for the study consisted of three 07 session administrators, their supervisors and faculty and staff whom support market or non-market like activity during the 07 session. Data collection methods included audio-recorded personal interviews, focus groups, document collection and observations were conducted at three public higher education institutions located within the North Central region of the North American Association on 07 Sessions (NAASS). Through data analysis, three themes and a number of subthemes emerged: 1) Campus Collaboration, with subthemes of: a) Expanded Student Support Services, and b) Facility Usage; 2) Business Enterprise with subthemes: a) Incentivizing and Risk Management, b) Marketing c) Data Analysis and Reporting; and 3) Enrollment Management with the subthemes: a) Outreach to New Audiences, b) Retention and Completion Efforts and c) Year Round University. The implications of this study suggest a business enterprise dependent on revenue will be aware of competing market forces, will use data driven decision-making and utilize incentive models to drive entrepreneurial culture. Secondly, enrollment management issues such as retention and graduation rates are increasingly reliant on the success of 07 sessions. In addition, administrators play a vital role in shaping enrollment goals, fee structures and advising infrastructures for their organizations as supported by Sims, 2007. Finally, 07 session administrators are collaborating with offices across campus to provide student support services. The intent is to work across service silos, present a united front to students while maintaining service expectations year-round rather than just Fall and Spring semester. Most entrepreneurial activity identified in this study is portrayed as unique to 07 yet could be adapted for Fall and Spring. Adapting 07 session activity into the traditional calendar provides universities new teaching and delivery formats, new operating procedures and policy opportunities, and transparency with data driven decision-making resulting in fiscal gain. The future of 07 sessions maybe where students attend universities year round and 07 is no longer seen as the remedial semester operating outside of the traditional academic calendar.

This study examines the effectiveness of counselor communication on the self-disclosure of students in SMA Negeri 3 Parepare. Counselors in high schools get a clear role and position or place, where counselors as a component of student support services (student support services) to help the development of personal, social, career, and academic aspects of students through guidance and counseling programs to students in plan (individual student planning), responsive service delivery and system development (system support). Therefore, counselors are highly required to have effective communication skills to support counseling, so counseling communication skills can make students open themselves. This type of research is descriptive qualitative using observation, interview, and documentation methods. The subject in this study was the BK teacher of SMA Negeri 3 Parepare as the school counselor using data analysis techniques namely interpretation data analysis techniques and triangulation analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that the stages of counseling can be seen based on the stages of effective communication conducted by counselors, including; 1) Fact finding, 2) Planning, 3) Communicating, 4) Evaluating. The communication skills applied by counselors in the implementation of counseling are (attending), empathy, summarizing, asking, and honesty. By using the communication model, in this study found that the counselor's communication achieved students' self-disclosure as evidenced by giving their trust to the counselor, expressing honest statements in the counseling process, and students feeling relieved after the counseling. Based on some of the results obtained by researchers, the communication skills conducted by counselors to achieve students' self-disclosure are effective.

Exploiting the full potential of multicomponent seabed seismic recordings requires the decomposition of the recorded data into their upgoing and downgoing P- and S-wave constituents. We present a case study from the North Sea, where a novel adaptive wave-equation-based decomposition method is applied to a 2D data set shot inline with a cable-based seabed seismic acquisition system. The data were recorded in relatively shallow [Formula: see text] water, such that severe interference exists between primary reflections and water-layer multiples. Such conditions represent a challenge for many decomposition methods, because these often require a significant amount of interpretive, user-defined input. Conversely, the adaptive algorithm demonstrated in this study is fully data-driven, requiring as sole input a rough estimate of the water depth. The importance of careful mutual calibration of the sensors is demonstrated by critically assessing the properties of the derived calibration filters and the resulting estimates of the elastic properties of the seabed. To assess the effectiveness of the decomposition procedure, we compare a number of key events identified in the unprocessed data with their equivalents in the decomposed wavefields. The results of this case study show that the noninteractive decomposition method, which was demonstrated on seabed seismic data acquired in deep [Formula: see text] water, can be applied successfully in shallower conditions without further modification.

This article introduces a methodology to implement Data-driven Thinking in the context of urban design. We present the results of a case study based on a 7-day workshop with 10 participants with landscape design and architecture background. The goal of the workshop was to expose participants to Data-driven Thinking through experimental design, multi-sensor data collection, data analysis, visualization, and insight generation. We evaluate their learning experience in designing an experimental setup, collecting real-time immediate environmental and physiological body reactions data. Our results from the workshop show that participants increased their knowledge about measuring, visualizing and understanding data of the surrounding built environment.

This paper aims to explore to what extent university’s role in providing supportive infrastructure contributes to venture creation. Specifically, best practices in stimulating technology-based start-ups have not been widely discussed in the context of developing country. Although the previous study has explored this from a management perspective, this paper provides further insights on how academic entrepreneurship or entrepreneurial activity in a university can be increased through various initiatives. Considering Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) as a case study, findings identify that collaborative business incubation and entrepreneurship education for academic entrepreneurs as evidence of practices that stimulates commercialization of university-invented technologies as well as develops academic entrepreneurs amongst research scientists.
