Abstract

The benefits of early childhood education programs are evident in the academic readiness and development of a child, serving as an indicator of outstanding academic abilities in later years. However, the provision of an equitable and quality pre-primary education programs remains the challenge in fully realizing these benefits. To contribute valuable information in this area, this paper explored the collaborative Pre-Kindergarten School project between St. Dominic College of Asia and Bacoor Alliance of Pinagbuklod, to assess its quality in the aspects of implementation, efficacy, and sustainability. With the utilization of the CIPP Evaluation Model, the researchers employed a mixed-method design, combining surveys and interviews with the identified stakeholders: the parents, teachers, barangay officials, and SDCA officials. Findings reveal that while the project achieved its primary goal to foster academic readiness among the learners, concerns regarding the lack of funding and resources, support and involvement of the parents, and improved program management remains, which poses sustainability issues. Despite these concerns, the results show that stakeholders are grateful for the collaboration of SDCA and BAP and acknowledge its positive impact on them and the community. The researchers recommend increased responsible parental involvement, enhanced funding system, and structured program management for the continuity of a developed SDCA-BAP Pre-Kindergarten School. These findings express the significance of a sustainable community-based pre-kindergarten education program for better learning experiences.

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.
