The Effects of U.S. Monetary Policy Shocks on Portfolio Diversification
The Manchester School, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of changes in U.S. monetary policy on portfolio diversification. We build four different types of portfolios, including a U.S.‐only, a stock‐bond (60/40) portfolio, an international diversified stock portfolio, and an asset diversified portfolio.

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many, perhaps even most, philosophers hold that, in order to promise someone something, the promisor must intend to communicate what they are promising. I argue against this claim, explain why it matters to the nature of promising, and sketch an alternative picture of normatively powerful speech acts.

The Belief–Desire Appraisal Theory of Emotion
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I introduce the Belief–Desire Appraisal Theory of Emotion (BDA). BDA makes three main claims: (a) Emotions are psychological episodes whose paradigmatic instances are constituted by coordinated changes in appraisals, action tendencies, bodily responses, and subjective feelings; (b) appraisals—which are rapid, low‐level evaluations of ...

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 590-602, September 2026.Abstract A cross‐sectional study of 106 students (7–12 years) from a rural school in the Brazilian Amazon investigated the interaction among motor, cognitive and environmental factors on school achievement using network analysis. Students with good school performance were significantly older and showed superior global physical fitness, motor ...

A Time‐Centred Perspective on Classroom‐Based Physical Activity
European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Schools are recognized as a key setting for preventing physical inactivity–related health issues early in life. Despite schools offering a rich set of opportunities to integrate physical activity (PA) without disadvantages for learning, those opportunities are often underutilized in ‘traditional’ educational environments where PA is primarily ...

A Note on the Depth-from-Defocus Mechanism of Jumping Spiders
Biomimetics, 2017 Jumping spiders are capable of estimating the distance to their prey relying only on the information from one of their main eyes. Recently, it has been shown that jumping spiders perform this estimation based on image defocus cues. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms involved in this blur-to-distance mapping as performed by the spider and to ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

An All‐Textile, Mechano‐Capacitive Subtle Movement Sensor
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 63, 6 August 2026.A robust all‐textile capacitive sensor is introduced for measuring subtle body movements without long‐term degradation. By separating mechanical deformation from electrical sensing elements, accuracy, responsiveness, and durability are improved. Simple fabrication methods are presented, electrode effects are analyzed, and performance is validated ...

Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuators for Radially Contracting Applications
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.This work presents an Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuator that combines high‐performance electrohydraulic actuation with origami‐inspired folding geometry to achieve constricting radial actuation. This integration yields significant inner lumen constriction, alongside a gripping force capable of holding objects exceeding four times the actuator's ...

TRIM: Simultaneous Thermometry, Ranging, and Imaging via a Monolithic Metalens
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.ABSTRACT While metasurfaces offer a pathway beyond the discrete architectures of conventional LWIR systems, physically fusing high‐precision thermometry and passive ranging onto a single metalens remains a formidable challenge. Here, we demonstrate a monolithic, dual‐focus metalens capable of simultaneous multidimensional sensing.
