Purpose The purpose of this paper is to produce a business incubator training model for students to form graduates in order to have competence in the field of entrepreneurship in an effort to reduce high unemployment. Design/methodology/approach The method used in this study was research and development (R&D) that consisted of the following five stages: first, planning based on the result of initial observation in the field, second, development of training model, third, validity test model, fourth, limited test and fifth, final model determination. This research used and involved 12 beauty successful beauty salon entrepreneurs as validator models of business incubator training management. Findings The test results show that the training model developed is effective in forming entrepreneurship competence of graduates, so it is feasible to be applied in Beauty Education Study Program, Engineering Faculty of Universitas Negeri Semarang. Practical implications The resulted model can be used as a learning model that can develop the skill of entrepreneurship level for students. Originality/value This study provides contribution to the unemployment level decrease and employment acceleration.

The integration of e-learning platforms in the higher education system has been around for a long time and is seen in line with the changes in Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0). Realizing this, Sultan Idris University of Education (UPSI), Malaysia has developed a Learning Management System (LMS) platform based on Technology Acceptance Model for its members to streamline learning and facilitating processes, namely MYGURU. The purpose of this study was to determine the applicability and attitude of the lecturers towards the used of MYGURU during the teaching, learning and facilitating process. Using a survey method, the study involved 734 and 248 lecturers who were selected using simple random sampling. The questionnaire was distributed by email in 2 months period. The results of this study found the mean score for MYGURU perceived usefulness and mean scores of lecturers' attitude to be at moderate level. The study of attitudes toward MYGURU used was modest, whereas the correlation test showed that there was a significant positive and moderate relationship between perceived usefulness and lecturers’ attitude. This study implies that developing a Learning Management System such as MYGURU requires continuous improvement in order to provide a better quality of higher education.

The well-being in and performance of an organization is often associated with a leadership who is assertive and innovative. Additionally, the well-being of innovative organizational climate also relates on how innovative leader leads the team. From this sustainable relationship between innovative with the subordinates, it will create a harmonic balance within the organization.

Innovation of synthetic dyes successfully eliminated the utilisation of natural materials as textile dyes. Simplicity as well as variety of colours strongly increased the application of synthetic dyes. Nevertheless, environmental concern has lately forced the use of natural dyes. To simplify the usage of natural dyes, production of natural dyes powder is inevitable. Investigation was carried out to examine the effects of solvent and filler types on the yield, chromaticity, flavonoid content, and water content of natural dyes powder. In this work, Brachiaria mutica was used as a sample source. It was crushed and grinded before extracted using mixture of methanol and water as solvents at various methanol concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Extraction was carried out at a ratio of raw materials to solvent of 1:10. The filler of maltodextrine or gum arabic was added into dye extract before then converted into powder form by the aid of spray dryer. It was found that among the provided solvents, system using 50% methanol was considered to be optimal in resulting high yield as well as flavonoid content, while maltodextrine is chosen as providing better result than that of gum Arabic. Moreover, methanol concentration of 50% and 5% maltodextrine filler generated greyish yellow colour with the lowest water content of 0.9%.
