Abstract

This study aimed to build an instructional model based on constructivist theory for developing emotional intelligence skills and persuasion skills in sales among students of the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences at the Saudi Electronic University. To achieve this aim, the researcher employed the descriptive-analytical method and the Delphi technique. The researcher prepared two lists, one for emotional intelligence skills and the other for persuasion skills in sales, and also designed a questionnaire to determine the suitability of the instructional model based on constructivist theory from the experts’ perspective through the Delphi technique. The findings identified the emotional intelligence skills and persuasion skills in sales required for students of the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences, as well as the procedural steps necessary for building the proposed model. The mean score for the suitability of the instructional model based on constructivist theory from the experts’ perspective was 3.56, with a standard deviation of 0.87, indicating a high level of agreement. In light of these findings, the study presented a set of recommendations, including the need to implement the instructional model based on constructivist theory to develop emotional intelligence skills and persuasion skills in sales among students of the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences.

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.
