Abstract
The value system of creative art within contemporary culture seeks to integrate competently and systematically cultural values and the art of a given society. Axiology deals with assessment of values; hence, it deals with how contemporary artists relate to ethics, aesthetics, and sociology in their work. This paper looks at the impact of culture on the topics, methods, and interpretation of art by the audience, emphasizing the importance of visual art as a means of culture communication. Globalization and digitalization offer opportunities for contemporary artists to incorporate many different traditions, contest prevailing traditions, and transform established aesthetics. Moreover, the contradictions of creative liberty and its commercialization, as well as sociopolitical influences, authenticity, representation, and the significance given to the artwork casts other questions about art and value. This research describe the issue of contemporary visual art in terms of its value proposes that it is a patriotism of the society which stands for the ideals of the social systems and a driving force for culture change.

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.
