Abstract

Digital platforms and AI tools are now routine in language education, but technology by itself rarely produces sustained learning. Likewise, narrative-rich tasks can boost engagement, yet they may drift from curricular outcomes if they are not anchored in accurate, discipline-relevant content. This conceptual paper addresses the persistent fragmentation across three strands of scholarship: technology integration (CALL), narrative pedagogy, and content-based/data-driven instruction. It proposes a triadic framework that aligns (a) Edu-Tech (delivery, interaction, and feedback), (b) Edu-Fiction (narrative scaffolds that support motivation and identity work), and (c) Edu-Facts (authentic, verifiable input and evidence-based knowledge building). Using conceptual synthesis, the paper specifies three integration mechanisms: technology enabling narrative task design, narrative framing strengthening engagement with factual content, and factual constraints guiding creative production. It also offers a practical sequencing heuristic—factual anchor, narrative scaffold, then technological production. The framework identifies boundary conditions related to infrastructure, assessment regimes, and teacher preparation, and it concludes with testable propositions for empirical validation. The contribution is a transferable design logic that helps curriculum designers and teachers coordinate engagement, delivery, and epistemic substance within one coherent model.

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.
