Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between language, culture, and communication in migration films and focuses on the phonological aspects of migration. Specifically, the research shows how accented speech affects the cultural identity and the process of social inclusion of immigrants, and why phonological analysis is crucial in this context. The Immigrant movie is used as a case study, the research adopts the qualitative method of data analysis to examine the dialogues and the visual images to determine how phonological features such as accent, intonation, and pronunciation are depicted. These phonological features reflect other hidden cultural and socio-economic problems that immigrants are subjected to, including oppression and subjugation. The study focuses on phonological aspects as they contribute to understanding the linguistic barriers and impact the credibility and competence of cross-cultural communication. The conclusion stresses how migration films are significant in forming people’s perceptions of immigration and the lives of immigrants. Further research should be conducted on how phonological features are linked with cultural identification and how the media influence people’s perception of accented speech; also, the potential of using anthropological, linguistic, and film theoretical approaches to study the processes of migration and cultural integration.

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.
