The methods and tools used by Lean management can be used for any activity that is specifically introduced to the company. On this basis, the objective of this paper is the implementation of a Lean office with a 5S system transformation into the traditional office environment of a private business. During the workflow, it is also planned to create new habits in this narrow space that will incorporate the organizational culture into the everyday life of the business making the administration more effective. The 5S concept is new and helps the company to operation on a larger scale with fewer inputs than before. Figures are made for better understanding and a Red Tag is created which is the first step of the process. Red Tag tells the employees about the history and the process which will be needed on it. The basic of lean thinking is the contunious improvement in the quality of the product while minimaxing the wastes created during the process. The Next Broker Consultancy Ltd adopted this new way of management and made sure that all the necessary measurement are taken to insure smooth flow of the process.

Det er nødvendig å få mer kunnskap om hva barnehagene og personalet i samisk-lulesamisk område gjør for å håndtere pålegg og intensjoner i styringsdokumentene om samisk innhold i barnehagehverdagen. Forskningsarbeidet som er bakgrunn for denne artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i et sosiokulturelt perspektiv og en institusjonell etnografisk tilnærming. Barnehagens styringsdokumenter og personalets beretninger om tanker og erfaringer med å iverksette og utvikle det pedagogiske innholdet og arbeidet i barnehagens hverdagsliv er sentrale i datamaterialet. Analysene gav mulighet for å peke på kjennetegn for og egenskaper ved faglig innhold og kvalitet i arbeidet med samiske tema. Det fremkommer momenter for videre utvikling og mulige valg for kompetanse og føringer for området samiske språk og kultur i enhver barnehage. Det er åpenbart at det må gjøres en innsats på alle nivå for å ta vare på og utvikle lulesamisk kultur og språk så vel innen- som utenfor forvaltningsområdet.It is necessary to gain more knowledge about what the barnehage and its staff in the Pite- and Lule-Sami region in Norway do to meet the requirements and fulfill the intentions of the curriculum when it comes to Sami content in the everyday life of the barnehage. The research reported on in this article has its departure point in a sociocultural perspective and uses institutional ethnography as one of its approaches. The barnehage curricula and the staffs narratives, thoughts and experiences are central in the data. The analysis gave the possibility to point out some central features and traits of the content and quality of the work on Sami topics. Areas for further development and possible choices concerning competence and guidelines for the area of Sami language and culture in all barnehager were found. It is obvious that stronger efforts are needed on all levels to sustain and to develop the Lule-Sami culture and language both within the Sami language municipalities and other municipalities.

Nesta comunicação procuramos mostrar a propriedade das idéias de Martin Buber, na obra Eu e Tu (2001), para se pensar as inter-relações na escola. Em termos antropológicos, no cotidiano escolar se configuram, simultaneamente, cultura organizacional e a cultura de grupos, segundo Edgar Morin (1984) e Michel Maffesoli (1998). Buscamos na “filosofia do encontro” uma reflexão sobre as relações inter-subjetivas produzidas pelos sujeitos no cotidiano escolar. São relações que efetivam a comunicação, definida por Buber como um encontro, no qual se dá a complementaridade e reciprocidade das ações entre o Eu-Tu, o dialógico, em detrimento à experiência de contato proporcionada no Eu-Isso, o monológico. A questão a ser iluminada diz respeito ao fato de que, por meio da “filosofia do encontro”, talvez possamos encontrar suportes teóricos consistentes para repensarmos as relações produzidas pelos sujeitos no âmbito escolar, o que evidencia o caráter “ontológico” de uma questão crucial na escola: ensino-aprendizagem. Abstract: This paper will attempt to point out relevance of the ideas of Martin Buber, in the work “I and Thou” (2001), to think the interrelations in school. In anthropological terms, in the school daily life both organizational culture and the culture of groups are established, according Edgar Morin (1984) and Michel Maffesoli (1998). We searched on the “Philosophy of the Meeting" a reflection on the inter-subjective relations produced by the subjects in the everyday life school. They are relations that implement the communication, defined by Buber as an encounter, which gave the complementarity and reciprocity of actions between the “I-Thou”, the dialogical, to the detriment of the experience of contact provided in the “I-That”, the monological. The issue to be enlightened relates to the fact that, through the "philosophy of the meeting," perhaps we can find consistent theoretical support in order to rethink relations produced by subjects within the school, which shows the "ontological" character of a crucial issue in school: teaching-learning.

The Impact

Wheat is one of the most important cereals in the world and the bread made of its flour belongs to the everyday life of human  mankind.The Hungarian standard relating to the laboratory production of wheat flour (MSZ 6367/9-1989) does not mention the type of laboratory mill used for milling, and it only builds up some general criteria, such as: the laboratory mill should be provided  with four differently nicked barrels, a sieve with appropriate hole sizes, and also with the separated collections of the pilot flour and the bran. Our study was started at this point and the answers for the following questions were aimed to be found: do the flour patterns studied and produced with different sieving techniques, widely used in laboratory mills of the same wheat pattern show any alterations after the impact of the formula production as regards chemical constitutions. Various flours of the wheat pattern sieved with different particle sizes were studied in this experiment. In producing this pattern we used FQC109 type of mill. There were 5 different corn sizes of 250-200; 200-160; 160-125; 125-100; <100 μms used in the partition of the fractions. The results this research confirm that the quality of wheat flour can be modified by different methods of pattern production.

The Status

Dogs have the tendency to bark at loud noises that they perceive as an intruder or a threat, and the hostile barking can often last up to hours depending on the duration of such noise. These barking sessions are unnecessary and negatively impact the quality of life of the others in your community, causing annoyance to your neighbors [1]. Having the rights to file noise complaints to the Home Owners Association, potentially resulting in fines or even the removal of the pet [2]. In this paper, we will discuss the development of an algorithm that takes in audio inputs through a microphone, then processes the audio and identifies that the audio clip is dog barks through machine learning, and ultimately sends the notification to the user. By implementing our application to the everyday life of dog owners, it allows them to accurately determine the status of their dog in real-time with minimal false reports.

In terms of innovations and their contribution to increasing the quality of everyday life of individuals, as well as the improvement of the business of companies, it is undoubtedly necessary to significantly consider the concept of “Internet of Things”. In this paper, the basic principles of Internet of Things will be presented, as well as the possibilities of applying this concept in order to improve the everyday business of companies. Bosnia and Herzegovina is far from the rest of the economies in which IoT is in use and the application of which is constantly increasing. “Internet of Things” makes things “think”, and “be smart”. Through the collection of data, the algorithms of artificial intelligence and their networking, the circle of communication between things is closed, and the human factor is excluded.

Loss Of Contact

Abstract As many other countries Sweden has been hit hard by the Corona pandemic, with high numbers of dead in the older population. Since march 16, 2020, the authorities have encouraged people 70+ to voluntarily quarantine and avoid contacts outside the household. How has this affected older people’s everyday lives? This study reports on results from a web-survey on the everyday life experiences of Swedes 70+ carried out between May 28 and July 13, 2020 (n=1 926). The presentation focuses answers to an open-ended question: “Describe with your own words how your life has been affected by the Corona pandemic”. A qualitative content analysis was used to investigate changes in the everyday lives of the respondents and their appreciations of these changes. Results show that older Swedes have mostly adhered to public recommendations of self-isolation and withdrawn from social and family contacts, as well as paid and volunteer work. The vast majority (76%) of the respondents describe what they see as negative life changes, such as loss of structure in their everyday life, loss of contact with children/grandchildren and friends, loss of meaningful activities, loss of abilities due to forced unemployment and experiences of ageism. Experiences of loneliness, depression and drop in quality of life are common. Some positive changes were reported. We argue that the experience of the 70+ population during Corona needs to be understood in relation to the promise of the third age, where everyday restrictions are experienced as a forced disengagement into a fourth age life style.
