Student success initiatives in practice, underlying technological infrastructure, and human processes, focus almost exclusively on cognitive signals for risk, persistence, and other alert factors. Yet decades of research suggest that these signals are quite limited because learners are not compartmentalized as cognitive beings vs affective beings vs conative beings. This chapter looks to inform the creation of both technological and human measurement as well as intervention techniques for a much more holistic approach to student success efforts as told through a case study of such a system. The chapter will help technologists, researchers, and service-practitioners alike in building workflows and technological systems to promote better inputs, better triggers, and better outputs, all for human consumption in the assistance of helping students thrive.

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether startup evolution can be conceptualized in a life cycle model intended as an unpredictable sequence of stages, where startups need to find actors with whom to collaborate to acquire knowledge and resources supporting the effectiveness and the sustainability of their mission. The creation and implementation of collaborative networks is observed through the lens of the holistic approach to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, whose purpose is to build “bridges” between different actors through the creation of communities of best practices or entrepreneurial networks. The creation of a specific ecosystem is suggested to ease the new digital entrepreneurship generation toward acquiring an appropriate level of knowledge, skills, financial facilitations, and entrepreneurial culture. Following a multiple case study analysis based on nine successful Italian digital firms, the empirical evidence seems to confirm that firms collaborate with different actors in different stages, as knowledge and resource networks play a critical role in sustaining the evolution and success of new firms.

The authors discuss the importance of a technological infrastructure for countries with developing and transitional economies. The establishment of institutions whose purpose is to provide elements of such infrastructure is crucial to the successful development of internationally competitive companies and to the creation of an entrepreneurial culture. In this context, the authors set out the roles, fundamental goals, and strategic vision of the Instituto Tecnológico para a Europa Comunitária (ITEC), an organization established by the Portuguese government to enable the development of a technological infrastructure in Portugal. This paper analyses the model represented by ITEC and offers it as a case study of a national approach to the problems raised by technological and industrial underdevelopment.

The Creation

The subject of environmental education (EE) in India, also known as environment studies (EVS), was introduced through the intervention of the Supreme Court of India (SC). At that time, there was also global recognition towards the creation of ‘environmental citizens’ through inculcating environmental awareness in school-going children, with the motto of ‘catch them young’. Since then, EE in India has seen an evolution in itself through enveloping the studies of various topics related to the natural environment. However, one of the concerns has been that it is taught in a theoretical manner and that since it is not treated as a graded subject, schools have not given it the importance it deserves. However, the study of a green school of the Himalayan state of Sikkim shows that active participation of state machinery, coupled with a practical interpretation of its principles, can lead to positive results. It also shows that the creation of environmental citizens needs a holistic approach, through both amalgamation of theory with practice and syllabus with stringent state intervention and results-oriented action. This article, which uses doctrinal, as well as field research, techniques of interview and observation, looks into these aspects through studying a school in a mountain village of West Sikkim in India.

Using the promotional meeting of Dorota Masłowska’s book "More than you can eat" (16 April 2015 in the Bar Studio, Warsaw), as a case study, the article examines the role author plays in it and try to show how the author itself can become the literature. As a result of the transformation of cultural practices associated with the new media, the author’s figure has gained much greater visibility which consequently changed its meaning. In the article, Masłowska’s artistic strategy is compared to visual autofiction in conceptual art and interpreted through the role of the performance and visual representations in the creation of the image or author’s brand.

Early Manifestation

Between 1810 and 1835 the British musical audience expanded from the nobility and the gentry to include members of the middle classes. Using the contemporary musical festival as a case study, this chapter examines how the accommodation of this larger, more intellectually diverse audience led to an early manifestation of the modern concert-listener. This development is explored in terms of factors that aided in the creation of a physical or intellectual “listening space.” These aspects include physical structures (stages, galleries), educational structures (histories of musical festivals, commentaries for training listeners), and linguistic structures (new terms to describe listening processes). As this chapter reveals, these structures solidified a common listening experience for the larger audience, while reinforcing class distinctions within it.

Abstract This article explores the emergence of reformist sentiment and political culture in Madras in the mid-nineteenth century. Moreover, it contributes to, and expands upon, the growing body of literature on colonial petitioning through a case-study of a mass petition demanding education reform. Signed in 1839 by 70,000 subjects from across the Madras presidency, the petition demanded the creation of a university that would qualify western-educated Indians to gain employment in the high public offices of the East India Company. Through an analysis of the lifecycle of this education petition, from its creation to its reception and the subsequent adoption of its demands by the Company government at Fort St George, this article charts the process by which an emergent, politicized public engaged with, and critiqued, the colonial state. Finally, it examines the transformative effect that the practice of mass petitioning had on established modes of political activism and communication between an authoritarian colonial state and the society it governed.

Mental Wellness

The mental wellness of university students can be critical for their success. In an attempt to minimize stress for students, many universities have implemented a policy for a fall break with limited evidence to support its intended outcomes. This case study offers a critical appraisal of the formation of the fall break policy at one medium sized comprehensive university using qualitative and quantitative forms of evidence triangulated from (1) University Student Union survey, (2) document analysis and; (3) informant interview. The lack of uniformity on how the fall break is labelled, the timing of the break and its evaluation emerged as design flaws in the creation stage that perhaps, could have been mitigated if faculty and student voices were included in policy creation decisions.
