Bullying is one of the phenomena that often arises in the world of education, including education in elementary schools, where this behavior is aggressive behavior that hurts others, both physically and psychologically. This bulliying problem needs to be addressed by schools through school programs that synergize with parenting programs through the whole-school approach. Therefore, there is a need for cooperation between schools, teachers and parents in overcoming this bulliying problem. The efforts that can be done by schools in synergizing school programs with parenting programs through the whole-school approach are as follows: (1) Activating the school committee which is a representative of the students' parents to design and implement collaboratively about the agreed school programs together, so regular meetings must be held. (2) Conducting a model teacher activity, where the teacher's representative simulates the learning process that is normally carried out so that parents can adjust teaching at home with at school. (3) Carry out activities between the school parties, students and parents of students so that there is a good relationship between various parties such as tourism activities, outbound and others.

AbstractThe extent to which designers can understand users often determines the quality of design outcomes. A deep understanding of users allows the designers to focus on the right problem and make optimal design decisions, which encouraged designers to empathize with users. However, the current imagination-based empathizing strategy appears to be too susceptible to their previous experience and knowledge, which has been questioned concerning effectiveness and accuracy. On the other hand, Virtual Reality (VR) technology provides an opportunity for designers to gain experience-driven empathy by immersing them in a virtual environment that mimics the users' surroundings as if they are seeing the world from users' eyes. While abundant studies covered empathy VR and empathy for design, limited attention has been paid to the chance of bringing VR, empathy, and design research together. Addressing this gap, this study explored literature across domains, identified major concerns about this approach, synthesized the evidence, and discussed the feasibility and validity of the VR-based empathic design research approach.


The heyday of Islam began as early as the middle of the 7th century and once again proved that Islamic science was the forerunner of all kinds of creations and innovations in science and technology. However, today, we see Muslims struggling to make a name for themselves in pioneering science and technology. It should not be so since many of the creations enjoyed today are based on inventions from Islamic civilizations rather than Western ones. Therefore, to restore the past glory, a new plan must begin from now. Among others, through the development of worship products for the use of Muslims worldwide. Studies have shown that efforts to produce tangible products are still low due to the increased focus on non-tangible products such as banking systems, health, and beauty products. Therefore, to ensure the idea of developing this worship product is clearly understood, several examples of existing worship products are presented and discussed regarding their weaknesses from a design perspective. Four examples of the latest innovative products designed specifically for the needs of Muslims are described. The rationale for the need for innovations in worship products is also statistically discussed in light of the rapid growth of Muslims, with over 1.6 billion Muslims. Furthermore, as many as nine groups of worship products have the potential to develop, such as products for prayer, knowledge gathering, pilgrimage, and umrah. Finally, the design features that need to be considered for developing next-generation worship products to meet customer and market needs are also discussed. The results of this research are intended to raise awareness to the world about the golden age of Islamic science and that this innovation is still relevant today. Innovation is a catalyst for high-income economic development. In this regard, developing and producing innovative worship products can generate wealth to improve the quality of life of Muslims worldwide. Such is the initiative introduced by the professional design team in Faculty of Innovative Design and Technology (FRIT) at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) Malaysia that has developed a range of Islamic conceptual products. Based on the results of the observation technique during the pilot test, conducted in many states across the country, there are several issues that need to be resolved namely that Muslims in Malaysia desperately need innovative products that can help them to worship consistently and confidently. This means that there are still no well-built innovative Islamic-based products available in the local market. As such, the Muslim demographic group in the country as well as around the world, comprising senior citizens, adults, teens and children will be able to enjoy the contributions produced by FRIT at UniSZA.

Public relations is practiced around the world from Western to Asian countries. Public relations theory was initially defined and formalised in the United States of America, and continued to evolve in Europe and the United Kingdom, but had a slower uptake of theory and its application to practice in Asia and other parts of the world. Within varied social and cultural environments, this research explores public relations in Vietnam - what public relations performs in the context of Vietnam where the culture values personal relationships. The exploratory study uses a qualitative research approach with the primary method of semistructured interviews of twenty-nine consultants and in-house public relations practitioners, in both Vietnamese and international organisations. The research found that Vietnamese public relations uses a one-way communication model proposed by Grunig & Hunt (1984). It simultaneously uses a two-way shared perspective which appears similar to the symmetrical model by Grunig & Hunt (1984) but the Vietnamese model focuses on relationships for communication. The study concludes that the nature of public relations in Vietnam is changed by the impact of the cultural factors.

The events sector is continuously growing, driven by economic development and increased spending on leisure. As events may generate a large amount of waste, an environmental impact assessment is increasingly important for any event. The importance and necessity of this has recently become more significant not only from an environmental preservation perspective, but also from a social responsibility perspective, and from a marketing and public relations perspective. This paper presents a study carried out with the objective of creating a model adapted from the ServQual to evaluate the quality of the service provided with events, complementing the model with an environmental sustainability add on. Based on an action-research approach, a model was built that was developed and applied to small events in a Brazilian municipality. As the main result of this work, this approach allowed to create a way to measure the event quality, considering the gaps between expectations and perceptions of the client, adapting the ServQual Model to an event-type service. Moreover, it allowed the inclusion of an environmental sustainability dimension to ServQual. This adaptation of the model introduced new managerial analysis and was considered relevant by event managers. This study extends the application of service management tools to the specific domain of events, building on the perspective that event management shares a great deal of characteristics of services.

This article introduces the concepts of data quality as described in the literature of several disciplines and discusses research results on how individual perceptions of data quality are influenced by different media (in particular World Wide Web vs. print). A search of literature on “data quality” and “media creditability” reveals that researchers in many disciplines are separately studying the subject. These disciplines include accounting, advertising and public relations, information systems, scientific data collection, education, journalism fields, and others. While these threads have developed separately, these streams of research approach similar issues of how people view the quality of information they receive from different sources.
