Abstract

Globalization has had an impact on local axiology, or the fundamental beliefs and values that civilizations support. In addition to overturning long-standing conventions, this intricate process has encouraged intercultural dialogue and hybridization. This study focuses at the dialectical relationship between resistance and integration and how globalization affects local axiology. It examines at how local communities respond to the pressures of globalization by embracing global elements in order to encourage cultural innovation or rejecting external influences to preserve cultural distinctiveness. Utilized SPSS software to measure the research and reported findings, which included control charts, one-way ANOVA, and descriptive data. The research examines the intricacy of cultural continuity and change in a globalizing society by drawing on ideas from cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy. An investigation of the ways in which globalization impacts the political system, economics, religion, language, and social norms is undertaken. The paper also discusses potential applications for understanding how local axiology such as community development, historic preservation, scholarly research, and policymaking are impacted by globalization. Ultimately, it makes the case for a multifaceted, multidisciplinary approach to understanding globalization and how it impacts local communities, demonstrating the necessity of sustaining social cohesion, cultural variation, and sustainable development in a globalized society. Overall, the study discovered that globalization has positively and significantly affected local axiology. Understanding how local axiology are impacted by globalization has various applications in the real world, such as academic research, policy formulation, education, historical preservation, and cross-cultural communication. Stakeholders from all sectors may work together in an increasingly interconnected world to promote social justice, cultural diversity, and sustainable development by understanding the intricate relationship between local conditions and global influences.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
