The Future Impacts of Autonomous Aid on Disaster Relief Efforts
Authors: Dodge Andrew , Deneault Eric , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Natural disasters and other catastrophes have significantly increased in recent years (Oishi & Komiya, 2017). Currently, resources available to succor in response to cataclysms are limited. Humans save lives, while ultimately risking their own. In order to bypass this risk, autonomous robot programming is essential. Research and advocacy regarding autonomous aid in the scientific community has yet to be fully addressed (Oishi & Komiya, 2017). Because of this, first responders, firefighters, and policemen are perpetually endangered. Furthermore, technological contributions would also eliminate human error, promote productivity, and stimulate collaboration on matters unable to be solved autonomously. A robot prototype, designed to retrieve 6x6х6 inch cubes, was programmed to a controller, but also operated autonomously. Despite the controller being beneficial for specific functions, autonomous programming proved to be advantageous when used applicably. While the initial task was direct, the knowledge acquired from the project possesses the potential to enhance future ventures seeking to aid disaster relief.
Does an MLB Team's Wins Depend on Their Batting Average?
Authors: Beutler Clayton , Robbins Mason , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Baseball is said to be the oldest sport in America and considered to be America’s past time. Since the beginning, significant amounts of statistics and data have been recorded to examine a team’s wins, batting average, on-base percentage, and numerous other categories to give an in-depth explanation of a team’s season. In this research project our objective is to see if there is a statistical relationship between a certain team’s batting average that correlates to their wins and success over the course of a season. This is important because if batting average plays a role in determining who wins the game, we will be able to more likely predict the outcome of the game by comparing one team’s batting average to their opponent’s batting average which will allow us to determine who wins the game. Our main findings include that there is a significant relationship between a team’s batting average, on-base percentage, and walked batters and their number of wins. However, there is no statistical evidence between strikeouts and wins in the MLB. There are certain games and wins that tend to be influenced by strikeouts, however, as a whole, MLB teams and their strikeouts are not affected by whether or not they win a certain game.
Remote Survey of Herpetofaunal Habitat in Western Kansas
Authors: Rogers Sean , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Ground surveys are the primary means of conducting habitat assessments and landscape monitoring. However, these methods are temporally and financially expensive, and can be difficult to conduct in remote areas. Aerial photographs overcome some of these issues, but there are problems associated with poor resolution and are produced at too low of frequency for proper analysis and monitoring. With the introduction of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and high resolution sensors, monitoring efforts of landscapes can be obtained at high frequencies with high image resolution. Texas horned lizards (P. cornutum) and Lesser earless lizards (H. maculata) are ideal organisms to study habitat composition within a landscape due to their low mobility and occupy a specific habitat niche. The objective of this study is to monitor herpetofauna communities in western Kansas, and gather data using UAS technology to characterize microhabitat structure and presence patterns.
Is the Use of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Effective in Decreasing Pain and Improving Function of Patients with Plantar Fasciitis?
Authors: Moon Cody , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

This systematic review evaluates several studies that have examined the use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on plantar fasciitis. ESWT is a treatment option with very little evidence supporting its use. ESWT uses sound waves in the area where it is applied to create an environment of increased pressure to begin the body’s internal response against unordinary stimuli.
Standardized Isn't Standardized: Eliminating the ACT for Teacher Education Admission
Authors: Jones Elodie , Crawford Betsy , Jochum Chris , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

As nationwide teacher shortages continue to grow (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018; Garcia & Weiss, 2019; Sutcher et al., 2016), the standards for which a teaching candidate is admitted into teacher education programs have continued to remain steadfast in rigid assessment scores and vast amounts of “hoop-jumping” for potential teacher education candidates who otherwise meet all of the academic and nonacademic requirements, with the exception of standardized assessments, such as the SAT or ACT (Ingersoll, et al., 2014; Lankford et al., 2014). After potential candidates with high GPAs, satisfied criteria, and dreams of becoming a teacher were being rejected, in the same week they received a Dean’s Honor Roll letter, faculty began to question key assessments used to admit students. In addition, key accreditation bodies (i.e., CAEP) loosened their qualifications regarding candidate selection and admission.
Attempting to estimate the influence of wildfires on water levels of Alluvial and Dakota Aquifers in Western Kansas
Authors: Scott Valerie , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Wildfires are prevalent events in many areas throughout the world, and this study specifically focuses on wildfires in Western Kansas. The aim of this study is to determine relationships between the landscape, the Alluvial and Dakota Aquifers, and five wildfires to determine possible relationships between these wildfires and groundwater levels. Ideally, water levels from wells within and outside wildfires would be utilized; however, due to the limited number of wells with actual water level measurements in this region, remote sensing imagery coupled with land cover, soil distribution, and soil moisture maps will be utilized to estimate the contribution of wildfires to water level changes. Since the direct groundwater level changes are not able to be determined, external parameters and proxies will need to be used and compared to other regions of the Alluvial and Dakota Aquifers with adequate well data.

Published: August 2023

The Alluvial aquifer in Kansas is responsible for supplying much of western Kansas with fresh domestic well water Samples from these domestic wells were collected from participating landowners along the Alluvial aquifer of Norton and Phillips counties, Kansas The collected samples were shipped to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment ( Laboratories for analysis of various regulated contaminants The following parameters were measured from each water sample uranium, nitrate, sulfate, iron, selenium, manganese, chloride, arsenic, and conductivity Using ArcGIS Pro, the locations of the sampled wells were converted into point data with their respective parameter data attached Several cartographic maps were constructed to represent the concentration of each contaminant along the length of the Alluvial aquifer Additional maps representing soil type, land use, and local geology were constructed to aid in the analysis of wells containing contaminants over the maximum contamination level ( The resulting collection of attribute data and maps were returned to the KDHE for future purposes This is an ongoing project with an aim to express the importance of consistent monitoring of contaminants in domestic wells This summer, we will continue analysis of the Alluvial aquifer traveling westward into the Kansas counties of Rawlins and Decatur We look forward to gathering more data to help us determine if land use and local geology could be a contributing source of contamination
Adjunct & Faculty Survey: Perceptions of Quality & Rigor
Authors: Andersen Gary , Frank Nicole , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Seeking comprehensive feedback about adjunct faculty experiences at Fort Hays State University, the authors created an anonymous survey tool to inquire about full-time and adjunct faculty perceptions of a broad range of factors affecting adjuncts and the classes they teach. Results include valuable information about adjunct satisfaction, compensation, recruitment, orientation, and support, as well as perceptions of course and program quality. Findings suggest significant differences in perceptions of academic rigor and expectations of student clock-hours. Results were shared with the Adjunct Faculty Advisory Committee and will be used to make various recommendations to the Provost and Academic Council. Additional research is needed, to clarify factors which affect adjunct and full-time faculty perceptions.
Adultification: Addressing the injustice faced by young girl of color in the school system
Authors: Drown M. Siobhan , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Adultification is a form of racial prejudice involving children of a racialized minority being treated as more mature than their biological age and reasonable social standards of development. It “reduces or removes the consideration of childhood as a mediating factor in Black youths’ behavior” (Epstein et al., 2017, p. 2). Adultification leads to a higher prevalence of sexualization, more frequent punishment, and increased alienation of young Black girls within the public school system. This is a systemic issue which requires systematic solutions. The most effective solution would be to diversify the workforce.
How Mortgage Rates Affect Personal Savings Rates in the U.S.
Authors: Jones Mason , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Currently in the United States, we are experiencing a significant increase in mortgage interest rates. While there are various factors that influence mortgage rates, high mortgage rates have an effect on the economy. Specifically, how mortgage rates affect one’s ability to save money. In this study, I asked how mortgage rates affect the personal savings, while accounting for the NASDAQ 100 and the participation of women in the labor force. The results of the regression suggest that when mortgage rates increase, savings rates will also increase.
Academic Persistence Among Traditional and Non-Traditional Social Work Students at Fort Hays State University: A Bivariate Analysis
Authors: Maldonado Yesenia , Waggoner Megan , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Although the Social Work program is one of the fastest growing programs at Fort Hays State University (FHSU), the faculty is focused on retention. According to Gloria and Kurpius (1996), evaluating the university environment appears to be a major factor in accounting for students’ persistence in higher education. This is particularly important for nontraditional students who often drop out of academic programs prior to degree completion (Miller, 2014) and have lower completion rates than their traditional counterparts (Shapiro, et. al., 2012). This study explored whether a significant difference exists in the way traditional and nontraditional social work students perceive the university environment.
Purposeful Reflection: Experiences in Introducing Mindfulness in an Online Environment
Authors: Moore Brooke , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

While this poster represents foundational data from an empirical study conducted earlier, the work is primarily targeting special education practitioners, positing ways to foster critical reflection as a means towards building culturally responsive practices. Developing critical reflection in special educators is important because, as a school leader, they must advocate for diversity to be recognized and valued (Howard, 2003). Historically marginalized students need culturally responsive educators to meet their needs. If special educators are not aware of their own cultural biases, they may fail to advocate for or individually provide appropriate interventions and supports, thus leading to disproportionate representation (Klingner et al., 2005).
Applications in Paleohistology: Osteohistology of Protostega gigas
Authors: Wilson Laura , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Protostega gigas was a large sea turtle that lived in the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of North America. Protostega fossils are found in the Smoky Hill Member of the Niobrara Formation in Kansas. Despite their abundance, little is known about how these turtles grew and aged. The purpose of this study is to expand the knowledge of sea turtles osteohistology and determine the ontogenetic stage of the specimen at the time of death. Osteohistology is the study of bone microstructure, and is used to study bone growth rates. Microstructure and growth rates directly relate to phylogeny (evolutionary relationships), ontogeny (growth stage), biomechanics (how a bone is used), and environment. The femur of the Protostega gigas specimen analyzed is spongiose, with large networks of vascular canals and little or no open medullary cavity. Vascular canal orientation is dominated by longitudinal and circumferential canals organized in concentric layers. Vascular canals increase in circumferential organization towards the outer cortex. Overall, the Protostega bone analyzed in this study has a similar microstructure to that that described in the leatherback sea turtle. Because there are vascular canals open to the periosteal surface of the bone, with no indications of reduced vascularity and cessation in bone growth, this specimen is interpreted to have been a juvenile at the time of death. ; Histologic results contradict previous research interpreting this specimen as an adult.
Which Statistics in Baseball Are Most Important for Winning?
Authors: Ballou-Crawford Clark , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

I investigate which professional baseball team statistics have the greatest correlation with regular season wins over the previous six full MLB seasons. This analysis is performed by gathering team-by-team season statistics to be utilized as explanatory variables (a full list is included below) and regress these against the dependent variable for each team, regular season wins. Through this analysis it is determined that a set of five of these variables can create a full regression model with a coefficient of determination of .882, implying that 88.2% of the variability in regular season win totals can be explained using these five team statistics. Power hitting has become a point of emphasis for team builders in recent years and this trend is supported by this analysis.
Identifying and Avoiding Survey Nonresponse and Noncompliance
Authors: Bishop Allix , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

In the last five years, researchers have seen a notable increase in difficulty of collecting valid and useful survey data. Respondents, likely attracted to the prospect of receiving prizes or other compensation after survey completion, submit survey responses that are irrelevant to the questions asked, relevant but unusable due to the respondent not identifying as a member of the target population, or comprised of nonsense (such as paragraphs of lorem ipsum text or copy-pasted from other sources). As a result of experiencing a high volume of invalid survey responses to a qualitative survey aiming to research identity narrative formation among Irish women, this project highlights the forms in which invalid survey responses appear and analyzes the ways in which this might be avoided. Previous research has suggested the use of internet protocol (IP) address analysis and attention checks to prevent survey nonresponse as well as responses from non-target populations and invalid responses. For this project, tactics such as attention checks, skip logic, CAPTCHA, and highly specific population-relevant questions were experimented with to lessen invalid responses from both human respondents and bots, as well as to lessen the amount of data cleaning needed to find relevance in responses. Analysis of these methods and a conclusion of suggested best practices to avoid survey nonresponse and noncompliance are offered for future surveying.

Effects of the Black Rat (Rattus rattus) on Tropical Islands: Helpful or Harmful?
Authors: Zeng Sheena , Michels Amber , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Rats do not enjoy a particularly good reputation, especially in regards to the environment. Many know rats to be pests, spreaders of diseases, and overall ruinous to the environments they are introduced to.The focus of this poster is on the impact of black rats (Rattus rattus) and brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) on tropical islands. Many studies support the idea that introduced rats destroy the ecosystems of tropical islands by negatively impacting the islands' bird populations. However, a study suggested that rats might have a positive impact on tropical islands through spreading seeds of different plants across the terrain. However, after the compilation and analysis of several studies regarding rats' impacts on tropical islands, it was concluded that the negative impact of rats on tropical islands outweigh the positive impacts.
Virtual and Mixed Reality Simulations Effectiveness on Learning Outcomes
Authors: Russell Mark , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) simulation labs have increased in the past few years in nursing programs across the globe. Traditional simulation methods are still being utilized. While VR, MR and traditional simulations have evidence of successfully meeting the learning outcome of knowledge acquisition, VR and MR simulations have higher student engagement and overall satisfaction outcomes. Results show that while traditional methods should still be utilized, VR and MR encourage positive student engagement and supplement traditional simulations. Future research should include cost effectiveness of VR and MR, and also timeliness of educators’ mastery of the equipment.
The Effects of Dry Needling Compared to Manual Therapy Techniques in Patients with Myofascial Neck Pain: A Systematic Review
Authors: Forte Nicole , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Neck/shoulder pain is one of the most common pain conditions with a prevalence in the general population being estimated between 10% and 15% (Sobhani, et al., 2016). It is more common in females than males. Manual trigger points are the common cause for this pain. There are many different forms of treatment to help manage these trigger points such as dry needling, friction massage, ischemic compression, manual pressure, orthopedic manual therapy, soft tissue massage, and strain-counterstrain technique. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effectiveness of pain reduction, increasing range of motion, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) using dry needling compared to manual therapy techniques in patients with neck/shoulder pain. The six articles meeting the inclusion criteria all had similar results. The outcomes being measured were pain intensity, neck disability index, pressure pain threshold, and cervical range of motion. All the articles showed dry needling compared to any of the other treatment groups were equally as effective in treating patients with myofascial pain symptoms. Overall, it has been shown dry needling compared to the other noninvasive manual therapy treatment methods had no significant differences between the outcomes; however, those outcome measures all had improved results. Future studies are needed to investigate the long-term effects and other possible involved muscles and their responses to the different treatments.

FHSU students and faculty are committed to addressing food insecurity issues faced by students, faculty and staff. In 2011, the FHSU Victor E. Garden was created to provide greater access to fresh produce for the campus community. In 2012, a campus food pantry, known as the Tiger Food Exchange, was created to provide access to food and also access to information about food and hunger issues. In 2013, a student-led undergraduate research project used the USDA's 6-Item Food Security Short Form Survey to compare FHSU students' food insecurity rates to national averages. Survey results revealed that FHSU students' food insecurity rates were higher than the national average. In fall 2013, the Campus Food and Hunger Initiatives Committee was formed to address campus food and hunger issues. A Healthy Living Grant (2-year) from the Kansas Health Foundation broadened the reach of this campus-wide initiative by improving the infrastructure, developing and implementing educational strategies, and investing in needed resources. The grant provided funding for student coordinators for the Victor E. Garden, the Tiger Food Exchange and a Web and Social Media Coordinator to manage communications and outreach. The garden was expanded by adding a hoop house, a shed, cold frames, drip irrigation, rain barrels and a compost bin. Plans are underway to build an outdoor classroom at the garden site. Individuals accessing the Tiger Food Exchange benefit from a greater array of fresh foods. Educational programming is aimed at addressing resource and knowledge deficits.
Understanding Personality Changes in Law Enforcement Officers

Published: August 2023

Do law enforcement officers experience personality trait changes over the course of their careers? In Challacombe, Ackerman, and Stones (in press), the researchers found US-based officers had personality differences based on their lengths of service and career stress levels. The current study explores this topic by using a grounded theory approach to better understand these changes over the course of the officer’s career. We are analyzing data collected from an anonymous survey offered to sworn law enforcement officers across the United States. Initial interviewing included open ended questions that explored the participants’ experience and concerns. These individual interviews are compared and coded to identify focused categories for subsequent interviews. Theoretical sampling is being used to conduct further interviews until saturation was reached around our grounded theory categories. Officers are reporting changes in communication styles, increases in cynicism, general mistrust, and increased hypervigilance. Possible protective factors may include mastery and increased confidence as well as positive relationships within their department. The results of the study to date will be provided along with suggestions for future research.
Twitter Politics: The Effect of Language and Source Credibility on Public Perception
Authors: Wasinger Grace , Mann Brooke , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Social media sites are instrumental in influencing public perception (Lawson & Strange, 2015). Social media sites, such as Twitter, have provided millions with constant news coverage. Modern social media usage has allowed for public figures, such as President, Donald Trump, to influence public perception through his Twitter account. Because of the influx of information, coming from various sources on social media, it is imperative to consider the implications different types of information sources will have on individual perceptions. Individuals may be more influenced by high-credibility sources when searching for news. The current study attempts to investigate the relationship between language and authority and its effect on media viewer’s perception. Participants were shown one of four Tweets, varying by language used and account type. Participants were then asked questions to assess their views on the message. Results suggest a difference in perception based on language used, level of perceived intelligence, source authentication, and source’s level of knowledge on the topic.

A Method for Coupling Monte Carlo Simulations of Photon Transport to Focused Gaussian Beam Propagation
Authors: Cook Patrick , Clark Clifton , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

We present a method for modeling focused Gaussian beams in turbid media. Compared to previous methods based on ray tracing, our method is simple and fast. Rather than sampling photon launch positions from the surface of the media, we directly sample launch positions from inside the sample volume using the probability distribution for the position that a ballistic photon will first interact with the tissue. The examples presented illustrate the importance of accounting for Gaussian beam optics when simulating a focused beam. Not doing so will give an artificially large irradiance at the beam waist position. Thermal models used to predict laser damage to tissue will predict temperature rises that are too large for samples containing the beam focus.
Title IX: Institutional Betrayal and Survivors of Sexual Assault
Authors: Hayes Abigail , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

In 2011, the U.S. Department of Education’s (USDE) Office for Civil Rights “Dear Colleague Letter” specified how schools should respond to reports of sexual assault to be in compliance with Title IX. In 2017, these guidelines were rescinded, leaving some criticizing the new regulations. In 2021, President Biden signed an Executive Order, directing the USDE to review Title IX regulations and to provide new guidance. While national bodies are reviewing the Title IX practices, some survivors and activists have identified Title IX failures. As a result, lawsuits have emerged against colleges and universities. This review outlines university betrayal of sexual assault survivors and implications for improving colleges and university’s responses to empowering survivors and raising awareness.
Removing Barriers to Promote Parent Partnerships
Authors: Glidewell Lyndie , Fieger Annette , Sturm Bryon , Weese Andrew , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Parent partnerships are ways for educational staff, especially those who work with children with disabilities, to connect with families of students in meaningful ways that not only guide the education of the student but also show acceptance, provide encouragement and continue support to students and families beyond the school environment. Partnerships may include more than just schools and parents; they often invite other family members, friends and the community to be involved. These types of relationships can be very important to students with special needs because, “when schools, parents, families, and communities work together to support learning, students tend to earn higher grades, attend school more regularly, stay in school longer, and enroll in higher-level programs.” (NEA Education Policy and Practice Department, 2008.) This poster will examine current data on parent partnerships and provide suggestions that can create stronger partnerships, as recommended by survey results and as discovered in literature review. The information will be used to establish or build upon partnerships within our current districts.

Timing of diversification, dispersal, and biogeography of parrots in thegenus Amazona throughout the Caribbean, visualized in GIS
Authors: Kingwill Christopher , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Modern bird diversity for groups in the Greater Antilles, like parrots, is a fraction of what it once was prior to human arrival in the Caribbean. Among parrot groups thought to have become once more widespread are amazons (Amazona), a genus with almost 30 species, found across Central and South America. Phylogenetic work on Amazona has determined molecularly-dated divergence times for the evolution of different species. Today, the Greater Antilles have many single-island endemic amazon species and only one species, the Rose-Throated Parrot (Amazona leucocephala) being found on multiple islands. Divergence times of amazon parrots from molecular phylogenetic dating, can be correlated to known sea-level values from marine isotope stages (MIS) of the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Bathymetric data was altered using raster math (map algebra) to create seascapes – islands/landmasses reflecting sea-level conditions during the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene to determine optimal connectivity between islands which were then made into Routes using Network Analyst in ArcGIS Pro. Exposure vs inundation of the Nicaraguan Rise likely influenced island-hopping for these parrots between the mainland and Jamaica, leading to at least two colonization events, where after which amazons colonized the rest of the Greater Antilles.

Authors: Rudzik Jayden , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) is a set of interventions that may be performed to assist a newborn after delivery with airway, breathing, and circulation. It is crucial for all members of the healthcare team caring for a newborn to hold this certification and demonstrate competency. Typically, NRP course renewals occur every two years. If delivery situations do not regularly require further implementation of NRP interventions, it may become more difficult for nurses and other members of the healthcare team to feel confident with their skills. The purpose of this study is to explore how monthly simulation experiences in the obstetrics department affect nurses and their confidence and competency levels in neonatal resuscitation.

Perkembangan era globalisasi yang didorong kemajuan teknologi informasi, selain mempermudah manusia untuk berkomunikasi lintas negara, juga mempermudah dilakukannya kejahatan lintas negara. Salah satu bentuk kejahatan lintas negara yang sangat meresahkan adalah pencucian uang. Maraknya tindak pidana pencucian uang saat ini disebabkan karena meningkatnya berbagai tindak pidana pokok seperti Tindak Pidana Narkotika, Perdagangan Orang, Terorisme, Prostitusi, Korupsi, dan lain sebagainya. Penelitian ini membahas tentang perbandingan hukum tindak pidana pencucian uang antara negara Indonesia dengan negara Malaysia dan Filipina. Oleh karena itu timbul beberapa permasalahan di antaranya adalah bagaimana pengaturan hukum tindak pidana pencucian uang di setiap negara dan bagaimana peran dari financial intelligence unit di setiap negara. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pengaturan hukum tindak pidana pencucian uang di setiap negara memilki kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing-masing. Indonesia perlu berkaca pada kelebihan Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang di negara lain untuk mengembangkan Undang-Undangnya dengan lebih komprehensif.

Kewirausahaan telah menjadi kekuatan pendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan inovasi di banyak negara, sehingga mendorong minat yang semakin besar untuk mengembangkan ekosistem kewirausahaan yang berkembang. Inti dari ekosistem ini adalah pengetahuan kewirausahaan, perpaduan keterampilan, wawasan, dan keahlian yang memberdayakan individu untuk mengidentifikasi peluang, mengambil risiko yang diperhitungkan, dan mengubah ide-ide inovatif menjadi usaha yang sukses. Untuk mengeksplorasi peran pengetahuan kewirausahaan dalam membentuk ekosistem yang sukses, penelitian ini menyelidiki dampak dari kebijakan pemerintah, program pelatihan, dan inisiatif pendampingan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan metode campuran, penelitian ini melakukan tinjauan literatur sistematis untuk membangun landasan teori dan menganalisis studi kasus ekosistem kewirausahaan yang sukses untuk mengidentifikasi praktik terbaik. Selain itu, wawancara dengan para pemangku kepentingan utama, termasuk pembuat kebijakan, pendidik, mentor, dan wirausahawan, memberikan wawasan yang lebih dalam tentang dinamika pengetahuan kewirausahaan dalam ekosistem. Hasilnya menyoroti pengaruh signifikan dari kebijakan pemerintah terhadap pengembangan dan penyebaran pengetahuan kewirausahaan. Kerangka kerja peraturan yang mendukung, opsi pembiayaan yang dapat diakses, dan perlindungan kekayaan intelektual ditemukan secara positif terkait dengan peningkatan aktivitas kewirausahaan. Program pelatihan muncul sebagai kontributor penting, membekali calon wirausahawan dengan keterampilan penting, peluang berjejaring, dan paparan terhadap praktik-praktik terbaik. Inisiatif pendampingan terbukti berperan penting dalam memberikan bimbingan yang dipersonalisasi, memfasilitasi transfer pengetahuan, dan menumbuhkan ketangguhan pada wirausahawan.
