No full textInvestor portfolio-selection behaviours remain inadequately integrated into a unified framework. We demonstrate that only two principles are necessary to span a comprehensive framework and unify diverse active portfolio-selection behaviours: (1) Subjective Allocation Rule (SAR)-based allocation and (2) Minimum Tracking Error (MTE)-guided mimicking. These principles leverage efficiency, value-adding, and cognition-friendly mechanisms to transform broader, more natural investor insights - whether quantitative or qualitative - into optimal portfolios aligned with their true intensions. Our empirical evidence reveals that incorporating investor subjectivity can enhance performance, outperforming traditional frameworks such as Markowitz’s. This paper, the first of two, focuses on the structural formulation

No full textAbstractEmotionally focused therapy (EFT) is one of few empirically supported treatments for relationship distress. While evidence‐based approaches are critical for ensuring safe and effective treatment, EFT has not been adapted for use with same‐sex/same‐gender (SS/SG) relationships. This study used the Delphi method to generate consensus on treatment guidelines for using EFT with SS/SG relationships. Forty therapists with clinical expertise in EFT for SS/SG relationships were recruited. Data were collected in three phases. In phase one, participants responded to open‐ended questions regarding how EFT should be adapted for SS/SG relationships. Phases two and three involved participants rating the importance of the recommended guidelines. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. The final recommendations included 49 guidelines on EFT for SS/SG relationships. The data reflected modifications to therapists' foundational knowledge and development, practice set up and orientation, and the three stages and nine steps of EFT

No full textThis chapter explores how the author’s biography has influenced her research in feminist theology, gender theory, and intersectionality. She tracks her theological development through her positioning as a postcolonial Catholic woman who began academic studies the year her youngest child started school.Beattie argues that the appeal to experience in liberal feminist theologies of the 1980s failed to take sufficient account of the ways in which experiences are interpreted through sociolinguistic lenses. The ‘linguistic turn’ of the early 1990s offered insights into how gender and culture influence psycho-social conventions and behaviours, so that intersectional approaches informed by psychoanalytic and sociological theories can contribute to a deeper feminist understanding of the ways in which gender positions women in their personal, domestic, and social environments.However, this methodological shift risks the discursive dissolution of the sex/gender distinction in postmodern theory, making it difficult to focus on feminist questions of justice and representation. The author also applies this criticism to doctrinal developments in the Catholic understanding of sexual difference, arguing that a shift from hierarchical to complementary approaches to sexual difference in papal language has done little to change existing hierarchies. In Catholic ecclesiology, the idea of the Church as woman erases the incarnational significance of the female body.Despite an apparent conflict between Catholic ecclesiology and gender theory, both are shown to embrace concepts of woman that evict the female body from the house of language, so that she remains in a position of mute animality. This deflects attention away from the many abuses and struggles still experienced by women and girls on account of their sex. Women must keep running in order to stand still, lest even the small gains of feminism are taken away under the guise of new theoretical and theological approaches to gender
