Abstract This article is a “cut-off” of a research that bears the title: Model of University Management: a look at governance from the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) of an Institution of Higher Education Community (CIHE) in southern Brazil. This is a qualitative case study based on Quality of Life at Work. The issue addressed here is: Under the guise of the principles of lean production, how is the quality of life and quality of life at work, of the staff of the student service sector of a CIHE? Our objective is, as of the mapping of the value stream, to identify how the quality of life and quality of life evaluations in the work of employees of the sector of student assistance of a CIHE. The instruments for data collection are: Value Stream Mapping (VSM); questionnaires and observation. The VSM results indicate a significant loss of time among operations. However, the results of the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire go from a very satisfactory and satisfactory quality of life. Finally, the results of the QWLQ-bref questionnaire demonstrate that quality of life at work is satisfactory. The study suggests improvements to optimize processes reduce losses and ensure satisfaction and quality in customer service.

PT. PELNI is a company that provides shipping services using sea transportation. One of the services it has is REDPACK, which is a delivery service with priority to maintain package conditions. This service is still relatively new because it is operating in 2019 and evaluation is needed so that efficiency increases by reducing waste. In this study, the method used is Lean Service because the delivery service is in the service sector. The tools used in this research are Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and DEMATEL. VSM is used to analyze the value flow in the service process. VSM results can indicate a process that is not needed. After that, it is continued by identifying process flow waste and determining critical waste in these services. Determination of critical waste is done using DEMATEL. DEMATEL is a method used to analyze the cause-effect relationship of a complex system. The results showed that the main waste factor in logistics services is customer activity reporting incoming cargo. This waste can be repaired by moving the office location into one room with a new warehouse and activity flow.

Background: A new class of dialysis membrane, the mid cut-off (MCO) dialyzer, has been developed to improve the clearance of uremic toxins in hemodialysis (HD). The a tRial Evaluating Mid cut-Off Value membrane clearance of Albumin and Light chains in HemoDialysis patients (REMOVAL-HD) study aimed to determine if regular use of MCO dialyzer was safe and specifically did not result in a significant loss of albumin. Methods: This investigator initiated, crossover, longitudinal, device study was conducted across 9 centers in Australia and New Zealand (n = 89). Participants had a 4-week wash-in with high-flux HD, followed by 24-week intervention with MCO HD and a subsequent 4-week wash-out with high-flux HD. The primary outcome was change in serum albumin between weeks 4 and 28. Secondary outcomes included trends in serum albumin, changes in kappa- and lambda-free light chains (FLC), 6-min walk test (6MWT), malnutrition inflammation score (MIS), restless legs score and quality of life. Results: Participants had a mean age of 66 ± 14 years, 62% were men, 45% were anuric, and 51% had ­diabetes. There was no reduction in serum albumin following treatment with MCO HD (mean reduction –0.7 g/L, 95% CI –1.5 to 0.1). A sustained, unexplained reduction in serum albumin (>25%) was not observed in any participant. A reduction in FLC was observed 2 weeks into MCO HD (lambda-FLC: Δ –9.1 mg/L, 95% CI –14.4 to –3.7; kappa-FLC: Δ –5.7 mg/L, 95% CI –9.8 to –1.6) and was sustained for the rest of the study intervention. Both FLC increased after the cessation of MCO use. There was no improvement in restless legs symptoms, quality of life, 6MWT or MIS scores. Conclusions: Regular HD using the MCO dialyzer did not result in a significant fall in serum albumin. There were no effects on quality of life, functional status or nutrition. Trial Registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry Number (ANZCTRN) 12616000804482.

Abstract The sales market requires both the highest quality of offered goods and satisfactory prices for the buyer. In addition to the reliability of the important aspects are also the time of order fulfillment, reliability, readiness to act around the clock, and service of sold goods after their sale. In the production and confection of conveyor belts, the priority is a customer who, having strictly defined product requirements, also has individually focused goals. To meet these aspects, you need to look after the product both during its production and after. The products of this industry are specific, so that they can be used, after sales service is often required to be installed at the customer and possible actions to maintain their good condition during operation. The article analyzes selected production processes of transmission belts to identify disturbances. The analysis uses the value stream mapping method. Then, improvement methods were proposed.
