Abstract

This article addresses the problem and need to understand and optimize teaching and the appropriation of culture in the digital realm. It identifies the dichotomy between how culture has been transmitted and how its understanding could be facilitated in the contemporary era. The main objective is to reflect on and understand the fundamental contexts and postulates of a didactic theory. It also seeks to analyze the relationship between models of digital understanding and new mediations for content dissemination. The methodology is based on reflection and analysis of data and indicators from two institutional documents of the Ministry of Information and Communication (MINTIC) in Colombia. On the one hand, it focuses on the basic models of cultural understanding: the reproduction model, which shows the teaching and appropriation of digital culture through elites, and the cultural appropriation model. On the other hand, the media hybridization between communication and transmedia is addressed, offering countless platforms for publishing content thanks to digitalization and media convergence, in order to understand transmedia didactics, with its multiplicity of platforms and formats, as well as digital cultural appropriation in a more dynamic and accessible way.

Keywords : Culture, Didactics, Transmedia, Models, Digital Appropriation.

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.
