Abstract
Shopping centers as they are known today have been consolidated and have had an evolution given by the social, technological and behavioral changes of consumers, key strategies to optimize the influx of customers and influence the propensity to buy. The central objective of the research, based on the Theory of Purchasing Behavior and the Theory of Commercial Attraction, was to elucidate the determinants of the purchase decision in five intermediate cities in Colombia, using an explanatory-correlational quantitative methodology. The empirical results indicate that purchasing behavior is modulated by psychological, social and economic factors, while commercial attraction is driven by convenience, accessibility, service, product and communication. The existence of a significant direct and bidirectional correlation between these two sets of factors is concluded. Finally, based on these findings, strategic guidelines are proposed for shopping centers, aimed at optimizing commercial attraction and modulating consumer behavior.

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.
