Reading The Frame: "Fortnight" And The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, Ira Sen Apr 2026

Reading The Frame: "Fortnight" And The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, Ira Sen

The Manuscript: Journal of Taylor Swift Studies

Taylor Swift's 2024 music video for her song "Fortnight" makes several visual references to German Expressionist cinema. This paper parses through the way in which The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, one of the films the music video alludes to, can be used to read Swift's self-fashioning as musician, celebrity, brand, lover, madwoman, and heartbroken poet in The Tortured Poets Department. Through an analysis of cinematography, set design, character, and themes in both Caligari and "Fortnight", this paper presents the complex portrayal of Swift as both creator and character in her own work.


We’Ve Been Dying From Trying: Taylor Swift, Earnestness, And The Collective Repudiation Of Cool., Kathryn J. Lively Apr 2026

We’Ve Been Dying From Trying: Taylor Swift, Earnestness, And The Collective Repudiation Of Cool., Kathryn J. Lively

The Manuscript: Journal of Taylor Swift Studies

This essay argues that cool operates not as an aesthetic preference but as a feeling rule—a socially enforced constraint on which emotions are permissible in public life. Drawing on Thornton's concept of subcultural capital, Goffman's dramaturgical framework, and Hochschild's theory of feeling rules, the paper identifies three structural requirements of cool: distinction in the mode of appreciation, performative concealment of effort, and emotional constraint. Taylor Swift violates all three. Through analysis of the Eras Tour, Swift's songwriting, her public persona, and the ritual practices of her fandom, the essay demonstrates that Swift's cultural significance lies not in her popularity but …

The identified elements are classified into three hierarchical levels. To further validate …


Act And Agent: A Burkeian Analysis Of Marlon Brando’S Refusal Of The Academy Awards, Jack Ammerman Apr 2026

Act And Agent: A Burkeian Analysis Of Marlon Brando’S Refusal Of The Academy Awards, Jack Ammerman

Pepperdine Journal of Communication Research

With the increasing prevalence of celebrity activism in modern society, Marlon Brando’s refusal of the Oscars—an act that trailblazed how celebrity activism was conducted in the film industry—is an exemplary case study for exploring the mechanics of celebrity activism and the implications of such rhetorical acts. A Burkeian analysis of Brando’s rhetorical act will help discern which elements contributed to the act’s profound impact on celebrity culture and media activism. Drawing on Burke’s communication theories and available scholarship on celebrity activism, I will demonstrate how Brando’s celebrity status supercharged the efficacy of his rhetorical act and gave him an extensive …

Conceptualizing A Virtual African American Heritage Trail In Georgetown, South Carolina: A Marketing And Destination Staging Framework, Jerome Christia, Jacqueline Calhoun, Elisabeth Dellegrazie Apr 2026

Conceptualizing A Virtual African American Heritage Trail In Georgetown, South Carolina: A Marketing And Destination Staging Framework, Jerome Christia, Jacqueline Calhoun, Elisabeth Dellegrazie

The Coastal Business Journal

This article proposes a destination-planning framework for conceptualizing a Virtual African American Heritage Trail in Georgetown County, South Carolina. Located within the coastal region of South Carolina and between the major tourism markets of Charleston and Myrtle Beach, Georgetown contains a historically rich but spatially dispersed landscape of African American heritage sites that remain underrepresented in regional tourism promotion.

To address this gap, the study integrates the AIDA hierarchy of effects with Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) to explain how virtual interpretation can support early-stage destination development. AIDA is used to illustrate how digital engagement can move audiences from …


Clawing Back Fraudulent Profits—Investor Protection Or Regulatory Overreach: The Disgorgement Dilemma In Securities Law, Jessica Sun Apr 2026

Clawing Back Fraudulent Profits—Investor Protection Or Regulatory Overreach: The Disgorgement Dilemma In Securities Law, Jessica Sun

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

This comment explores the legal complexities surrounding the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) use of disgorgement as an enforcement tool, specifically addressing the tension between investor protection and regulatory overreach. Sun examines the evolution of disgorgement from a court-created equitable remedy to a power formally codified by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021, while highlighting the significant limitations imposed by Supreme Court rulings in Kokesh v. SEC and Liu v. SEC. The comment centers on a current circuit split between the Second Circuit’s decision in SEC v. Govil—which requires a showing of "pecuniary harm" to victims before awarding disgorgement—and …


Copyright On Stage: Protecting The Directions Behind The Performance, Eliana Sakin Apr 2026

Copyright On Stage: Protecting The Directions Behind The Performance, Eliana Sakin

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

In this comment, the author argues that theatrical stage directions should be recognized as copyrightable material under the U.S. Copyright Act, primarily by categorizing them as "choreographic works". Sakin highlights that while the 1976 Copyright Act explicitly protects choreography and pantomimes, stage directions—which serve as the "blueprints" for a production's blocking, technical cues, and artistic mood—currently exist in a legal gray area. Through an analysis of historical context and industry disputes, such as the Urinetown and The Most Happy Fella settlements, the author illustrates a growing industry recognition of a director’s staging as a protectable, original contribution, despite the lack …


Ultras: Rethinking Tax Policy For Digital Assets, Lauren Liedel Apr 2026

Ultras: Rethinking Tax Policy For Digital Assets, Lauren Liedel

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

This comment examines the challenges current federal tax policy faces in addressing the rapidly expanding and volatile digital asset market. The author argues that the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) current "piecemeal" approach to defining taxable events—such as mining and staking—creates significant uncertainty for taxpayers and leads to strategic litigation. To resolve these issues, the article proposes the adoption of Unliquidated Tax Reserve Accounts (ULTRAs) as an alternative reporting framework. By utilizing blockchain's inherent capability to track notional interests, ULTRAs allow the IRS to account for economic activity while offering taxpayers the flexibility to defer actual payment until the assets are …


Guarding The Game: Building A Defensive Line Between Athletes' Biometric Data And Gambling Interests, Caroline Hébert Apr 2026

Guarding The Game: Building A Defensive Line Between Athletes' Biometric Data And Gambling Interests, Caroline Hébert

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

This comment examines the intersection of wearable technology, professional sports, and the burgeoning sports betting industry. Focusing primarily on the National Football League (NFL), the author explores how biometric markers such as heart rate, stress levels, and fatigue—originally intended for player health and performance—are increasingly targeted for commercialization in the gambling market. The comment provides a critical analysis of the current legal landscape, noting that existing frameworks like HIPAA and GINA, as well as current Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), offer insufficient protections for athletes' sensitive personal data. Hébert identifies key points of exploitation by third-party vendors and highlights the conflicting …

Middle East Bifurcation Club Consensus Document On Percutaneous Revascularization Of Bifurcation Lesions In Association With The National Heart Center – Saudi Health Council, Khaled Al-Shaibi, Mirvat Alasnag, Haitham Amin, Ali Nazmi Calik, Ali Almasood, Abdullah Alenezi, Nouf Alanazi, Abdulrahman Almoghairi, Hadi Abu-Hantash, Khaled Almerri

Saudi Medical Journal

Bifurcation lesions are among the most challenging in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with outcomes affected by anatomy, side-branch disease, and procedural variability. Existing European definitions and strategies require adaptation for Middle Eastern populations, where diabetes, obesity, and hypertension are highly prevalent and present earlier. The Middle East Bifurcation Club (MEBC), with the National Heart Center, used the Nominal Group Technique to standardize bifurcation PCI terminology, techniques, and treatment pathways tailored to regional demographics. The consensus provides evidence-based recommendations on imaging, provisional and 2-stent strategies, POT, and left main versus non-left main bifurcations, alongside practical algorithms and heart team guidance, highlighting …

Ethnic Background As A Determinant Of Thyroid Cancer Risk: A Decade-Long National Cohort Study Reveals Divergent Epidemics In Saudi Arabia, Nizar A. Khamjan

Saudi Medical Journal

Objectives: To analyze and compare temporal trends, demographic characteristics, and stage at diagnosis for thyroid cancer (TC) between Saudi and non-Saudi populations in order to identify potential population-specific etiological drivers. Methods: We conducted a national retrospective cohort study of TC cases in Saudi Arabia from 2013–2022. To assess population-level trends, we computed age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and multivariable Poisson regression alongside piecewise regression models for comparative analysis. Results: Among 14,159 total cases, TC incidence increased disproportionately in Saudi nationals, rising from 884 to 1,677 (90%), significantly outpacing the 184 to 275 (49%) increase observed in non-Saudis. The incidence rate ratio …

Saudi Medical Journal

Objectives: The process of analyzing tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) types is complex. This study explored the relationships among clinicopathological characteristics, peripheral blood markers, and TANs. Methods: Clinical information was retrospective gathered for 115 patients in our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021, and multiplex immunofluorescence staining was utilized to access the expression of TANs and analyze the potential relationship between TANs and clinicopathological features or peripheral blood markers. Results: Among the 115 patients, the proportion of female patients within the neutrophils (N1)-low group was notably greater compared to the N1-high group (87.5% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.022). In nonsmoking patients, …

Saudi Medical Journal

Objectives: To evaluate appendectomy specimen findings and their association with tumor type and stage. Concurrent appendectomy is frequently performed during gynecologic oncology surgery to prevent postoperative appendicitis and detect occult pathology, yet its value remains debated. Methods: In this study, we reviewed the medical records of 300 women who underwent gynecologic oncologic surgery accompanied by appendectomy at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital (Istanbul, Türkiye) over the period from July 2020 to April 2025. Clinical, surgical, andhistopathologic data were collected. Appendiceal pathologies were categorized as reactive hyperplasia, chronic inflammation, benign neoplasms, metastatic tumors, or primary. Statistical analyses included chi-square, t-test, …


Integrative Approaches To Gut Microbiota: Biomarkers, Dysbiosis, And Therapeutic Potential, Zeyad M. Alharbi Apr 2026

Integrative Approaches To Gut Microbiota: Biomarkers, Dysbiosis, And Therapeutic Potential, Zeyad M. Alharbi

Saudi Medical Journal

The human gut contains bacteria, viruses, and archaea that influence health depending on age, diet, and location. An individual harbours about 150 bacterial species. An imbalance of these microorganisms, known as dysbiosis, can negatively impact health. Commensal bacteria maintain microbial homeostasis by building short chain fatty acids. The 2-way communication channel that connects the gut and the brain is referred to as the gut-brain axis. Dysbiosis of the gut leads to some autoimmune diseases. A decline of beneficial bacteria causes the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Gut dysbiosis increases intestinal permeability, allowing toxins and cytokines to enter the bloodstream and damage …

THE 3,300-WORD DECONSTRUCTION: THE PARADOXES OF SAPIENS TEMPORALITY

The Sapiens “Arrow of Time” is the ultimate cognitive prison. It is defined as a one-way, irreversible progression from the past to the future, dictated by the increase of entropy. This “Linear Chronology” forces the observer into a state of victimhood, where the “Past” is fixed and unchangeable, and the “Future” is an unknown, looming threat.

The “Sapiens Plagues” (Temporal Paradoxes):

  1. The Grandfather Paradox: If time travel were possible, a traveler could prevent their own existence. Sapiens logic breaks at this point, leading to “Novikov Self-Consistency” or “Branching Multiverses”—both of which are …

(((Qpie33))) Global Unified Trust: The New Resonans Laws Of Sovereign Physics, Teddy Burroughs

Defensive Publications Series

WIRING: FROM PROBABILITY TO SOVEREIGNTY

This document serves as the formal Prior Art Declaration for the Non-Local Substrate Resonance Field (NSRF). We hereby define the transition from Sapiens logic to the Resonans Reality. The core of this transition is the dissolution of the "Uncertainty Principle," which we declare to be an artifact of observer-induced noise, rather than a fundamental limit of the universe.

In the QPIE framework, Uncertainty is simply the measurement of Observer Jitter. As stated in the foundational paper QPIE Unified Meaning (TDCommons):

"The observer is not a passive recipient of data but a participatory node …

THE ONTOLOGICAL CORRECTION: FROM PROBABILITY TO RESONANCE

Honorable Members of the Board,

The current standards maintained by this body are predicated on a 20th-century misunderstanding of the “Empirical Nature of Reality.” For decades, the global scientific community has operated under the Stochastic Delusion—the belief that the ground state of the universe is random, noisy, and governed by the probabilistic collapse of wavefunctions.

The 99.3 Trillion Cycle Omega Audit has rendered this perspective obsolete. Empirical reality is not a roll of the dice; it is a Non-Local Substrate Resonance Field (NSRF). What you have historically labeled as “quantum noise” …
