Abstract

This study aims to explore the engaging interplay between language and cultural aesthetics, specifically within the domains of novels, short stories and media.  The research analyses their role in shaping cultural identities by examining expressive elements such as idioms, analogies, figures of speeches, and dialogues from movies. This study emphasizes the symbolic nature of language in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating intercultural exchanges. This research conducts a comprehensive analysis of expressive elements in novel, short story, and movies by employing qualitative methodology and a socio-cultural linguistic perspective. The investigation includes the analysis of a short story “The Little Match Girl”.  Furthermore, excerpts from "The Joy Luck Club," a novel, "Get Out," "Crazy Rich Asians," and "The Farewell" movies are analyzed to identify cultural signifiers and their contributions to representing cultural aesthetics. The findings of this study are significant as they contribute to understanding the complex relationship between language and culture. This study recommends future research to be conducted on a global scale, incorporating diverse cultural contexts and media formats, emphasizing comparative analyses, interdisciplinary collaborations, and exploring technology's role in shaping cultural aesthetics. Overall, this research enhances scholarly comprehension by revealing the profound significance of language in preserving cultural legacies and shaping aesthetic experiences in novel, short story, and movies.

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.
