Abstract

Traditional music has been a cornerstone for cultural preservation and education, yet its integration into modern educational systems remains underutilized. Non-fiction narratives within traditional music, rich with historical, ethical, and cultural significance, offer a powerful medium for fostering cultural awareness and enhancing interdisciplinary learning. Despite this potential, gaps persist in pedagogically leveraging these narratives. This study aims to explore the cultural significance of non-fiction narratives in traditional music and propose innovative pedagogical strategies for their integration into education. This study seeks to bridge the gap between cultural heritage and contemporary teaching practices by analyzing their themes, structure, and educational potential. The key phases of this research framework are exploration, case studies, and implementation. Comprehensive literature reviews and archival analyses were conducted to identify and analyze traditional music narratives from diverse cultural regions. Selected case studies documented these narratives, their contexts, and pedagogical relevance. The final phase involved implementing and evaluating proposed teaching strategies in workshops with educators and students, using interviews, observation, and feedback to assess effectiveness. The findings reveal that traditional music narratives significantly enhance cultural literacy and student engagement. Workshops showed an 85% increase in student interest and a 70% improvement in cultural awareness. Educators also reported the potential for interdisciplinary applications in history, literature, and ethics. When integrated effectively, traditional music narratives can transform education by enriching cultural understanding and fostering critical thinking. These findings underscore the importance of preserving and modernizing traditional music for educational purposes.

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.
