Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the impact of innovative culture, supportive culture, and knowledge technology capability on the performance of employees in the telecom sector. This study also investigated the mediating role of commitment. This study employed a quantitative research methodology. The study was conducted within the Saudi telecommunications sector. Questionnaires were developed to obtain responses from respondents through the utilization of convenience sampling. The study achieved a response rate of 75.33%. The data was analysed using Smart PLS 3.3.9. The study's findings indicate that supportive culture, innovative culture, and knowledge technology capability positively influence workers' commitment. Furthermore, the commitment of employees also exerts an influence on their performance. Furthermore, the present study also provides confirmation of the mediating role of employee commitment. The findings presented in this study can be utilized by strategic decision makers to formulate effective strategies within the telecommunications sector.

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.
