Abstract

This research aims to provide insights into the intersection of technology, objectivity, and cultural values in the context of employee performance evaluation and management, enriching our understanding of cultural values and phenomena in the contemporary world. In today's globalized world, decision-making processes require objectivity and fairness. This research focuses on employee performance evaluation and management, proposing a fuzzy logic-based system to achieve unbiased assessment. The system is designed to align personal and organizational goals, thereby enhancing productivity and job satisfaction. Performance assessment is crucial for managing a company's workforce, with staff evaluations playing a pivotal role in individual development, organizational effectiveness, and business strategy alignment. The proposed system offers an objective assessment of employee performance, fostering a sense of purpose and meaning in work. It determines performance indices through multiple quantitative assessment scenarios, ultimately selecting the best-performing employee based on these indices. This research simplifies the process of performance rating computation for human resource personnel, aiding in the effective management of a company's workforce. Furthermore, it fosters alignment of personal and organizational goals and encourages positive relationships between management and employees. This study has significant implications for contemporary values and cultural phenomena, contributing to the ongoing discourse on the importance of objectivity, fairness, and purpose in managing a company's workforce. Additionally, the research explores the impact of technology and algorithms on employee performance evaluation and its broader implications for organizational culture and values.

Keywords : Employee Performance Evaluation, Fuzzy Logic-Based Assessment, Work–Life Balance, Psychological Health and Mental Well-Being, Sustainable Human Resource Management.

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.
