Enhancing Indoor Localization Accuracy in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Hybrid Approach Integrating Hierarchical Structure Poly Particle
Swarm Optimization and Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (HSPPSO-TLBO)
Authors: Gumaida Bassam , Ibrahim Adamu Abubakar
Published: October 2024

Background and Objective:

Enhancing localization accuracy while minimizing development
costs poses significant challenges in deploying and managing wireless sensor networks
(WSNs). This paper presents an advanced algorithm for node localization in indoor environments,
integrating sophisticated optimization techniques. The hybrid algorithm, HSPPSO-TLBO, combines
Hierarchical Structure Poly Particle Swarm Optimization (HSPPSO) with Teaching–
Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO).

Methods:

The proposed algorithm HSPPSO-TLBO aims to minimize the mean squared range error
(MSRE) resulted by calculating internal distances between nodes using Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI). TLBO, with its robust global search capabilities, complements HSPPSO’s local
search, preventing convergence to inappropriate local optima. HSPPSO-TLBO offers easy implementation
and leverages the cost-free feature of RSSI, making it an attractive choice for enhancing
localization precision.

Results:

Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of HSPPSO-TLBO compared to
other algorithms using different meta-heuristic optimization techniques. The outstanding performance
of HSPPSO-TLBO is evident across various evaluation metrics, including localization error,
localization rate, and simulation runtime.

Conclusion:

The proposed algorithm utilizing HSPPSO and TLBO is exceptionally effective in
improving localization precision in indoor WSNs due to several key characteristics. These include
the seamless integration and easy implementation of both HSPPSO and TLBO, along with the costfree
advantage of using the RSSI technique. This combination makes the algorithm a highly functional
solution for improving localization accuracy.

Authors: Manna Sreejan , Banerjee Sabyasachi , De Arnab , Banerjee Subhasis , Das Stabak , Rakshit Pallabita , S K Ashok Kumar , Sen Kalyan Kumar , De Sourav
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Carbon dots (CDs), by virtue of their electrical and optical properties,
emit intense light and fluorescence. They have attributes like photostability, high quantum yield
(QY), high emission, and scalability. In the recent past, theranostic-CDs have been widely used in
sensing, imaging, and medication administration. Furthermore, CDs may provide significant
promise to detect and ability to cross blood-brain barrier (BBB) along with a drug to treat numerous
neurodegenerative disorders (ND), such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease
(AD), and multiple sclerosis.

Method:

This review aims at exploring the immense utility of CDs in the arena of theranostics.
The immense utility of CDs was investigated through a systematic exploration of previously published
data in the relevant field. The application of CDs is well extended to treat life-threatening disorders,
like diabetes and cancer. In order to keep harmful substances out of the brain, the blood-
-brain barrier (BBB) forms a defensive barrier.

Results:

Water and gases being simple molecules can traverse the BBB without getting filtered
out, but several large molecules suffer to reach the site of action owing to their poor solubility.
CDs have recently been employed for delivering drugs to the brain and to assess the central nervous
system. An in-depth study of relevant literature indicates that CDs are the next-generation
carrier with an innate potential to subside the drawbacks of conventional nanoparticles.

Conclusion:

This review illustrates several biomedical applications of CDs, primarily focusing on
neurological illnesses, diabetes, and cancers. It also confers the usefulness of CDs in diagnostic
imaging.

Role of Clinical Pharmacists in Internal Medicine Ward
Authors: Bektay Muhammed Yunus , Altıparmak Öznur
Published: October 2024

Internal medicine wards play a crucial role in providing healthcare services
to a substantial number of patients. These wards primarily handle chronic or multiple
diseases, making pharmacotherapy a fundamental approach for the majority of patients.
The significance of clinical pharmacy services becomes particularly evident in these
settings due to various factors, such as the coexistence of multiple diseases, advanced
age, severe illnesses, or polypharmacy, all of which emphasize the importance of
rational drug use. In patient populations with complex treatment regimens, especially
those with specific healthcare needs, the likelihood of encountering drug-related
problems increases, posing challenges to healthcare professionals in achieving
desirable health outcomes. To address these challenges, clinical pharmacists (CPs)
offer a range of essential services within the internal medicine ward. These services
encompass pharmaceutical care, medication management, comprehensive medication
review, medication reconciliation, patient education, and counseling, all aimed at
improving treatment outcomes for patients admitted to the ward. The value and
effectiveness of these services have been extensively discussed in the academic
literature and validated through numerous clinical studies. Clinical pharmacists
working in the internal medicine service are expected to demonstrate strong
competence in managing various conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular
diseases, renal failure, liver failure, gastrointestinal diseases, chest diseases, and
hematological diseases. In addition to their clinical expertise, CPs have a critical
responsibility to ensure the rational use of medications and effectively apply their
extensive knowledge of drugs in the clinical setting. By integrating these services into
the daily healthcare routine and strengthening the role of the clinical pharmacist within
the healthcare team, the overall effectiveness of patient treatment can be significantly
enhanced.

Authors: Sahin-Bektay Hümeyra , Sagiroglu Ali Asram
Published: October 2024

Nutrition, as a fundamental process for sustaining health, is of paramount
importance, particularly for individuals grappling with critical illnesses. The effective
management of nutrition involves a collaborative effort from a diverse group of
healthcare professionals, including doctors, dietitians, and clinical pharmacists, among
others. Among these professionals, clinical pharmacists play a significant role in
delivering nutrition and enhancing potential health outcomes within the healthcare
team. In the pursuit of comprehensive patient care, clinical pharmacists are actively
engaged in providing essential macro and micronutrients while diligently addressing
any issues arising from nutritional products and medication usage in critically ill
patients. Moreover, optimizing drug regimens for patients requiring parenteral or
enteral nutrition yields substantial benefits for their overall survival. The administration
of medications to individuals in need of Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and Enteral
Nutrition (EN) necessitates keen attention and skill. As leaders in drug administration
processes for patients receiving nutritional support, clinical pharmacists assume a
pivotal role, particularly in the administration of medications through enteral feeding
tubes. This active involvement significantly contributes to the achievement of desired
health outcomes, enhancing patient well-being and recovery. Given the indispensable
contributions of clinical pharmacists, their inclusion within the multidisciplinary
healthcare team is of paramount importance. By drawing upon their specialized
pharmaceutical and clinical knowledge, clinical pharmacists are instrumental in the
successful implementation of enteral and parenteral nutrition applications. Embracing
this collaborative approach not only strengthens the efficacy of nutrition interventions
but also augments the overall quality of patient care.
Role of Clinical Pharmacists in the Oncology Ward
Authors: Tezcan Songul , Yuruk Fatima Ulya
Published: October 2024

Cancer treatment includes various medications and therapies, both alone or
in combination, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and
immunotherapy. During chemotherapy with different cytotoxic effects, the use of
supportive medications (such as antiemetic, antidiarrheal medicines, and granulocyte
colony-stimulating factors) can lead to polypharmacy. For this reason, it is necessary to
provide clinical pharmacy services to prevent and solve drug-related problems (DRPs).
On the other hand, since most cancer drugs are in the “hazardous drug” class,
pharmacists have important duties in the preparation, administration, storage and
disposal of wastes. In the mid-20th century, in line with these requirements in the field
of oncology, pharmacists started visiting oncology clinics, new courses were added,
and oncology pharmacy specialization emerged. In this section, we will discuss the role
of the clinical pharmacist in the oncology clinic, as well as examine the steps of
pharmaceutical care for the cancer patient.
Understanding Morning Emotions by Analyzing Daily Wake-Up Alarm Usage: Longitudinal Observational Study
Authors: Oh Kyue Taek , Ko Jisu , ­Jin Nayoung , Han Sangbin , Yoon Chan Yul , Shin Jaemyung , Ko Minsam
Published: October 2024

Background

Morning emotions can significantly affect daily wellness. While many studies have analyzed daily survey responses to identify factors influencing morning emotions, these methods require additional time and effort from individuals for emotional monitoring.

Objective

This study aims to identify daily alarm usage patterns related to morning emotions.

Methods

We recruited 373 users of the Alarmy app (DelightRoom) in the United States and South Korea and surveyed their demographics and usual behaviors related to morning emotions. Participants described their morning emotions over a 2-week period, during which we collected daily alarm app logs. We used a generalized estimating equation (GEE) method to identify factors affecting morning emotions.

Results

The findings indicate that varied alarm usage is related to morning emotions. Alarm set time was positively associated with feelings of peacefulness and refreshment in the morning, while task-based alarms were related to nervousness. The time taken to deactivate the alarm after it rang was negatively correlated with happiness. In addition, usual behaviors and demographic factors were found to be related to morning emotions, consistent with previous studies.

Conclusions

The study reveals that daily alarm usage is related to morning emotions, suggesting that daily alarm logs can supplement survey methods to facilitate daily emotion monitoring.

Authors: Gundler Christopher , Gottfried Karl , Wiederhold Alexander Johannes , Ataian Maximilian , Wurlitzer Marcus , Gewehr Jan Erik , Ückert Frank
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Clinical routine data derived from university hospitals hold immense value for health-related research on large cohorts. However, using secondary data for hypothesis testing necessitates adherence to scientific, legal (such as the General Data Protection Regulation, federal and state protection legislations), technical, and administrative requirements. This process is intricate, time-consuming, and susceptible to errors.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to develop a platform that enables clinicians to use current real-world data for testing research and evaluate advantages and limitations at a large university medical center (542,944 patients in 2022).

METHODS

We identified requirements from clinical practitioners, conceptualized and implemented a platform based on the existing components, and assessed its applicability in clinical reality quantitatively and qualitatively.

RESULTS

The proposed platform was established at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and made 639 forms encompassing 10,629 data elements accessible to all resident scientists and clinicians. Every day, the number of patients rises, and parts of their electronic health records are made accessible through the platform. Qualitatively, we were able to conduct a retrospective analysis of Parkinson disease over 777 patients, where we provide additional evidence for a significantly higher proportion of action tremors in patients with rest tremors (340/777, 43.8%) compared with those without rest tremors (255/777, 32.8%), as determined by a chi-square test (P<.001). Quantitatively, our findings demonstrate increased user engagement within the last 90 days, underscoring clinicians’ increasing adoption of the platform in their regular research activities. Notably, the platform facilitated the retrieval of clinical data from 600,000 patients, emphasizing its substantial added value.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates the feasibility of simplifying the use of clinical data to enhance exploration and sustainability in scientific research. The proposed platform emerges as a potential technological and legal framework for other medical centers, providing them with the means to unlock untapped potential within their routine data.

Authors: Pérez-Muñoz Milagros , Rodríguez-Costa Isabel , Lebrijo-Pérez Gerard , Pecos-Martín Daniel , Gallego-Izquierdo Tomás , Pérez-Martín Yolanda
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Chronic neck pain (CNP) needs attention to its physical, cognitive, and social dimensions.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to design a health education program (HEP) with a biopsychosocial approach for patients with CNP.

METHODS

A literature search on CNP, health education, and biopsychosocial models was carried out. Seven physiotherapists with expertise in HEPs and chronic pain participated in three teams that evaluated the literature and prepared a synthesis document in relation to the three target topics. Experts compiled the information obtained and prepared a proposal for an HEP with a biopsychosocial approach aimed at patients with CNP. This proposal was tested in the physiotherapy units of primary care health centers belonging to the East Assistance Directorate of Madrid, and suggestions were included in the final program.

RESULTS

The HEP for CNP with a biopsychosocial approach consists of 5 educational sessions lasting between 90 and 120 minutes, carried out every other day. Cognitive, emotional, and physical dimensions were addressed in all sessions, with particular attention to the psychosocial factors associated with people who have CNP.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed HEP with a biopsychosocial approach emphasizes emotional management, especially stress, without neglecting the importance of physical and recreational exercises for the individual’s return to social activities. The objective of this program was to achieve a clinically relevant reduction in perceived pain intensity and functional disability as well as an improvement in quality of life in the short and medium term.

Published: October 2024

The PhoR‐PhoP two‐component regulatory system, which is responsible for regulating the virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, presents a promising target for the development of novel tuberculosis drugs. Disrupting the interaction of PhoR‐PhoP proteins has the potential to decrease the virulence of the bacterium, rendering it more vulnerable to immune system clearance. A dimer‐based screening system was developed to screen for inhibitors of PhoR dimerization. The coding sequence for the cytoplasmic domain of PhoR (cytoPhoR) was combined with the DNA‐binding domain of the AraC repressor coding sequence. These sequences were positioned upstream of the emerald green fluorescent protein (EmGFP), which serves as a reporter gene. and controlled by the araC promoter. The in silico investigation examined the modeling of the fusion AraC_cytoPhoR and its binding to the promoter. The plasmid construct generated, namely pAraC_PhoRMTB, was synthesized and confirmed using DNA sequencing. The confirmed plasmid was then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Both SDS PAGE and fluorescence analysis indicated that the transformed culture expressed the AraC‐cytoPhoR fusion protein and displayed lower relative fluorescence in comparison to the transformed culture consisting solely of the AraC DNA‐binding domain coding sequence. This reduction in fluorescence suggests that the dimer‐based screening system effectively monitors the inhibition of dimerization of cytoPhoR. These analysis findings indicate that the system is now ready for use in the screening of PhoR dimerization inhibitors.
Study on the Tort of Misrepresentation in the Inter-bank Bond Market--Taking Case No. 1 of the Beijing Financial Court as an Example
Authors: Li Yunxiao
Published: October 2024

Chinese interbank bond market dates back to June 1997, when the People's Bank of China decided to open an interbank bond trading business at the National Interbank Lending Center, which was formally established. In the following years, this market developed relatively fast, and in June 2002, the bond counter market of commercial banks began to operate, which to a certain extent made the interbank bond market, which institutional investors dominate, expand through the counter trading for all kinds of investors in the whole society.In recent years, applying direct financing tools such as corporate bond issuance has become increasingly widespread. This paper takes Beijing Financial Court Case No. 1 as an example to study in detail the important reasons for the emergence of this type of infringement, focusing on the obligations and responsibilities of each participant, including the issuer Dalian Machine Tool Group, the intermediary bank Industrial Bank, and the investor Bluestone Capital Management. This paper aims to sort out the obligations and responsibilities of each participant in the inter-bank bond market to find out the reasons for the emergence of the phenomenon of misrepresentation and to explore the issues that appear to be suitable for this paper to find out the causes of misrepresentation, explore the operation rules and risk prevention measures of the interbank bond market that are suitable for China's national conditions, to solve the problems of misrepresentation, standardize the obligations and responsibilities of all parties, and promote the development of China's interbank bond market.
Inner Product Approach to Generalize the Notion of Pythagoras Theorem for Normed Spaces
Authors: Jain Prisha , Singhal Pratyush
Published: October 2024

The Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental result in Euclidean geometry, traditionally relates the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle. In this paper, we extend the classical Pythagorean Theorem into the context of normed vector spaces, using the concept of inner products. We explore how the theorem manifests in higher-dimensional spaces and provide a generalized version applicable to normed spaces beyond two dimensions. This generalization not only reinforces the geometric interpretation of the theorem but also connects it to broader mathematical frameworks such as vector spaces, norms, and inner products. The results presented here demonstrate the versatility of the Pythagorean Theorem and its relevance across various fields of mathematics, highlighting its applications in both theoretical and applied contexts.

Authors: Yang Guo-Xing , Chang Yan-Zuo , Jia Yan-Xiao , Chen Jin-Ping , Dai Shao-Bi , Lin Yu-Qiang
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to investigate the heat transfer conditions of vertically descending evaporator tubes. Through numerical simulation methods, the flow patterns and heat transfer characteristics within the evaporator tubes under both uniform and abnormal heating conditions are analyzed. Fluent software is employed to simulate the normal evaporation process in uniformly heated evaporator tubes, exploring their gas circulation and local heat transfer conditions. Additionally, simulations are conducted for descending evaporator tubes under abnormal heating to analyze the impact of different heat distributions on the flow patterns and heat transfer within the tubes. The conclusion drawn is that the primary cause of working fluid descent in evaporator tubes is uneven heating of the tube bundle. A single evaporator tube forms a stable circulation, whereas an increase in the number of tubes in the bundle exacerbates the descent phenomenon. To prevent such occurrences, measures such as optimizing heat transfer, ensuring complete combustion, and regularly maintaining the pipelines can be implemented. Future research could further simulate real-world boiler heating conditions and explore the application of two-phase evaporation flow in other equipment.

Displacing Northern Dominant Criminological Discourse: The Importation of Southern Criminology into Criminological Literature and Its Implications
Authors: Ong Yu Jie
Published: October 2024

Through a carefully selected set of criminological case studies from both the Global North and the Global South, this article takes on a critical approach on how hegemonic Northern criminological theories have fallen short in their attempts at formulating universally-applicable causative theses. It demonstrates how the field of criminology can be sharpened and brought to compelling new heights through the importation of the alternative Southern criminology, which reifies the need to consider individual, localised contexts on top of global influences in criminological inquiries. Vastly different historical contexts seen in the Global South mean that while the region may produce criminal justice outcomes similar to the Global North, how it derives at such outcomes may diverge greatly from the North. Likewise, countries appearing to share notable commonalities in the South may not produce similar criminological outcomes as one another, unlike what one would usually expect from the North. This cautions against undertaking comparative research based on resemblances and similarities across nations alone, and highlights the need to reconsider the stating points of comparative research and any attempted universalisation of theories. Lastly, criminological trends seen in the North are also responses to what is being brought in from the South in this age of advanced globalisation. Understanding criminological trends already extant in the South allows for a sharpened analysis of modern day Northern law enforcement and why Northern states have responded in certain manners. In its challenging of Northern hegemony and its providence of alternative de-colonial causal theses, as well as its refreshing coverage of what Northern criminology may have overlooked, Southern criminology should be enthusiastically welcomed and incorporated into the field as a means to further refine criminology as a discipline.
The Making of a Monster: The Perpetrators of 1984 Sikh Genocide
Authors: Gharu Rohita
Published: October 2024

Our in-depth understanding of atrocities and their perpetrators stems from extensive research on the Holocaust. Since then, we have been able to ascertain the roles of authority figures, society, and environmental factors in determining the behaviour of atrocity perpetrators. It is found that violators of human rights are more often than not ordinary people. Thus, it becomes important to study this perceived ordinary nature of perpetrators because it might help us prevent genocides in the future. In 1984, the Sikh community of India found themselves on the receiving end of a genocidal war. Even after years, they have been unable to cope with the trauma and suffering. This paper aims to understand the psyche and attitudes of the ordinary individuals who decided to murder the people they had grown up with. The paper will provide an overview of the Sikh genocide, the events that led up to it, the tumultuous environment in which it was set up, the role of superior figures, and how it affected the perpetrators.

A new EUtopia – Understanding Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and the criminalisation of migration in Europe
Authors: Pfitzner Linn
Published: October 2024

The aim of this paper is to expound and critically analyse the proposed reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) in December 2023. Drawing on insights from migration science and political philosophy, it argues that political agreement on the controversial reform can best be understood through a Foucauldian lens, conceptualising the European border regime as a biopolitical space in which migrant lives are contested. Against the background of the ever-expanding criminalisation and securitisation of migration, analyses of disciplinary and biopower offer unique insights into modern-day European asylum and border politics. The article criticises the bifurcation of European rights discourses in light of this trend, and calls for differentiated engagement with developments in European asylum politics.

Published: October 2024

Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree), a major source of natural rubber, could also be an important source of lumber as senescence occurs. However, latex collection is known to affect Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) wood formation and consequently, wood properties. The impact tapping (cutting made in the bark of the tree for latex harvest) has on the tree and the way the tree responds after tapping is often overlooked. Knowledge on wood properties of tapped rubber trees in Nigeria would enhance its sustainable utilization which is especially important in developing countries where lumber is limited. Variation in specific gravity and shrinkage of rubberwood wood due to tapping duration was examined. Tapping duration had significant effect in specific gravity and longitudinal shrinkage of rubberwood but had no effect on tangential and radial shrinkage. The specific gravity (SG) of rubberwood ranged from 0,55 - 0,59. Longitudinal shrinkage (average 1,42 %) was higher than typically observed for mature wood. Average tangential shrinkage for rubberwood of all the ages was 5,37 % while radial shrinkage ranged from 2,87 % to 3,84 %. decrease in SG observed in trees tapped for 20 years may indicate the initiation of senescence. Tapped rubberwood could be used in areas not exposed to high moisture as well as in other wood composites.

In this paper, I suggest that individuals who suffer trauma are often forced to reproduce that for material gain. After noting the key features of what I define as ‘performing trauma narratives’, I argue that the environments in which these narratives are told place undue epistemic burdens on the victims and fail to account for the differential understanding of listeners and the difficulties in conveying the descriptive and normative features with accuracy and integrity. I argue that this results in two specific forms of epistemic injustice: structurally precarious testimonial injustice’ and binary hermeneutical injustice’. I go on to suggest that these epistemic burdens prevent the healing from the traumatic experience in virtue of causing victims to normatively dissociate from their traumatic experience causing victim’s to not appropriately integrate their memories into their conception of self.

Background: Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is the disease that causes the highest mortality rate. One of the causes is the bacteria Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Knowledge and adherence are very important in TB treatment to achieve therapeutic success. Objectives: This study aims to see the relationship between the level of knowledge and adherence to taking medication for adult TB patients at Idaman Banjarbaru Hospital. Methods: This type of research is descriptive research with a cross-sectional research design prospectively taken in March - June 2023. The number of patients was 42 people using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and then analyzed using the SPSS Fisher Exact test with a 95% confidence level.  Results: The results showed that patients had a good level of knowledge of as many as 32 people (76.2%) and had less knowledge of as many as 10 people (23.8%). The value of patient compliance in taking medication was 29 people (69%), and disobedient as many as 13 people (31%). Conclusion: The results of the statistical analysis concluded that there was a relationship between knowledge and compliance with taking medication in TB patients at Idaman Banjarbaru Hospital (p < 0.05).

Zarządzanie relacjami przyczynia się do doskonalenia łańcucha dostaw, co wynika m.in. z koncepcji modelowej łańcucha dostaw Spekmana, Kamauffa i Myhra. Bez różnorodnych relacji trudno tworzyć i rozwijać efektywnie łańcuchy dostaw. Celem badań była ocena potencjału relacji rolników dla rozwoju krótkich łańcuchów logistycznych. Potencjał dla rozwoju łańcuchów logistycznych stanowiły pozytywne relacje tworzone z udziałem rolników (z otoczeniem rynkowym). Narzędziem badawczym był kwestionariusz przeprowadzony z rolnikami ze 144 gospodarstw w 2017 roku, utrzymującymi zwierzęta ras rodzimych (bydła, owiec i trzody chlewnej) i reprezentantami otoczenia instytucjonalno-rynkowego (np. organizacje branżowe, doradcze, klienci, dostawcy) w trzech województwach (małopolskim, podkarpackim i lubelskim). Przeprowadzono analizy relacji rolników, uwzględniając oceny dziewięciu cech relacji oraz ustalono jakie cechy mają „dobre relacje” z perspektywy wybranych instytucji. W ramach wykonanych analiz opisano strukturę działań w zakresie: sprzedaży bezpośredniej (SB), rolniczego handlu detalicznego (RHD) oraz działalności marginalnej, lokalnej i ograniczonej (MLO), powodów niekorzystania z SB, RHD i MLO. Właściciele gospodarstw wykazali zróżnicowane zainteresowanie formami sprzedaży (bezpośrednią, rolniczym handlem detalicznym oraz działalnością marginalną, lokalną i ograniczoną). Hodowcy bydła spodziewali się wzrostu dochodów i integracji z lokalnym rynkiem (ze sprzedaży bezpośredniej), owczarze upatrywali szansę tworzenie i kumulację wiedzy, wzrost innowacyjności, wzmocnienie wizerunku i potencjału gospodarczego. Hodowcy bydła bardziej niż, posiadający owce, dostrzegali konieczność poprawy relacji z otoczeniem (głównie instytucjami). Ujawniły się potrzeby szkoleń rolników z zakresu współpracy, rozwiązywania konfliktów i sprzedaży bezpośredniej. Aktywizacja relacji między rolnikami i odbiorcami (klientami) może realizować się w krótkich łańcuchach dostaw (SB, MLO) np. podczas festynów, wystaw, targów, kiermaszów. Budowanie „dobrych relacji” i łańcuchów logistycznych (na etapie dystrybucji) jest procesem uzupełniającym.

Celem artykułu jest rozpoznanie narzędzi kreowania wizerunku stosowanych przez władze samorządowe przyczyniających się do rozwoju gminy Opoczno oraz ich ocena przez jej mieszkańców. W części teoretycznej wyjaśniono pojęcia gminy, wizerunku i narzędzi wykorzystywanych do jego kreowania, tzw. marketingu terytorialnego. Jak wynika z przeprowadzonych badań, wizerunek jest ważny dla mieszkańców gminy, a także osób ją odwiedzających. Decyduje on o jakości i poziomie życia mieszkańców, liczbie turystów czy zadowolenia mieszkańców z udogodnień. W części badawczej artykułu oceniono poszczególne działania, które mogły przyczynić się do kreowania wizerunku gminy Opoczno, ale również stanowiły część infrastruktury funkcjonalnej, z której na co dzień korzystali jej mieszkańcy. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników stwierdzono, że najwyżej ocenianymi działaniami, które mogą wpływać na pozytywny wizerunek gminy Opoczno jest działalność kół gospodyń wiejskich, folklor, organizowanie wydarzeń kulturalnych, promowanie gminy przez sławne osoby, działalność klubów i stowarzyszeń sportowych, a także działania i sukcesy przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych.
