Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) has a spirit to become a Conservation and International Reputation University is realized through strategic missions. One of the conservation-oriented implementation programs is H-BAT (Green, Clean and Healthy) program. In its implementation, there is a problem, namely the achievement of H-BAT program has not been maximized during the last 3 years in assessment. The objectives of this research are: (1) to identify of the potential and character of environmental support in the work units; (2) to determine the achievement of the indication of a green campus based on the assessment indicators on H-BAT program. This research was carried out in four stages: (1) Data collection; (2) Spatial data processing; (3) Non Spatial data processing; (4) Analysis (ecological, technical standards); The results achieved in June 2020 are as follows: FT got 87,50%, FE got 85,87%, FMIPA got 81,52%, BUHK got79,49%, FIP got 73,91%, LP3 got 69,23%, LP2M got 63,46%, FIS got 60,33%,PPS got 57,07%, FIK got 56,52%, FH got 52,72%, FBS got 49,46%, TIK got 40,38%, BPB got 34,62%, Library got 30,13%, Archive got 17,31%. From these results, it can be seen that there is a lack of maximum achievement due to, among others, the lack of guidance and technical assistance in the management of the unit. So it is necessary to complete governance guidelines and technical assistance that are more intensive in unit governance to achieve the goals of UNNES as a green campus.

Vocational graduates supposedly have the competencies following the purpose of vocational education: preparing medium-skilled labor in a particular area that corresponded with the industrial needs. The 21st-century learning, among others, was signified with a learning process that optimizing the brain function. In the 21st-century, businesses and industries tend to demand skilled labors in digital literacy, technology literacy, and human literacy. Thus, vocational education should be able to innovate and create to respond to the challenge and opportunity from the 21st-century implication through revitalizing the vocational education, involving learning system, education units, learners, educators, and educational staffs. A suitable learning system for the 21st-century is a life-based learning model. Life-based learning in vocational education could be performed through industrial practice, industrial class, and teaching factory activities. These three approaches aimed to bring the learning activities closer with real-life work at the workplace through field practices. With life-based learning at the real workplace, students would develop a discipline, responsible, teamwork, and work culture habits as provisions after finishing the vocational education.

Carrageenan is a sulfated polysaccharide that demonstrates excellent film-forming properties. In contrast, many hydroxyl and sulfate groups in their structures produce a carrageenan film highly hydrophilic and demonstrate comparatively poor mechanical. Therefore, it is necessary to blend Carrageenan with other biopolymers to improve the film's mechanical properties. This paper aims to study the characterization of the composite film by combining ĸ Carrageenan and Chitosan using CaCl2 and KCl cross-link agents. The composite film product was characterized by measuring its moisture content, solubility, swelling degree, water vapour permeability, oxygen permeability, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The result shows that the addition of Chitosan could improve the properties of ĸ carrageenan film. CaCl2 and KCl cross-link agents reduce moisture content, swelling, solubility, water vapour permeability, and oxygen permeability of uncrosslinked film, which is suitable for food packaging.

Water use as a heat storage material in solar water heaters (SWH) has disadvantages, including its low energy density, which requires a large volume of thermal energy storage. Phase-change material (PCM) is a latent type of heat storage material that has the advantage of being a high energy density. Therefore, PCM is quite interesting to be applied to SWH systems. In the operation of SWH, it is necessary to know the characteristics of hot water usage. This paper aimed to determine the characteristics of a continuous and gradual discharging method on SWH that applies PCM. This study used a thermosyphon type of SWH. The tank was placed horizontally on the top side of the collector with a volume of 60 liters. Twenty-four cylindrical capsules containing paraffin wax were inserted into the tank. Thermocouples were installed on the waterside and the PCM side. Continuous and gradual methods were carried out in the discharging experiment. Experiments using a continuous discharging method given information that water temperature decrease continuously in the tank. Experiments with a gradual discharging method showed PCM’s contribution, which can transfer thermal energy to the water. The gradual discharging method explained that the SWH system produced hot water that can be used for bathing as many as five people every day with water temperatures of 45 °C at an average solar radiation intensity of 514.89 W/m2. The use of PCM makes a positive contribution to the thermal energy storage in the tank.
