Images of emotional facial expressions are often used in emotion research, which has promoted the development of different databases. However, most of these standardized sets of images do not include images from infants under 2 years of age, which is relevant for psychology research, especially for perinatal psychology. The present study aims to validate the edited version of the Tromsø Infant Faces Database (E-TIF) in a large sample of participants. The original set of 119 pictures was edited. The pictures were cropped to remove nonrelevant information, fitted in an oval window, and converted to grayscale. Four hundred and eighty participants (72.9% women) took part in the study, rating the images on five dimensions: depicted emotion, clarity, intensity, valence, and genuineness. Valence scores were useful for discriminating between positive, negative, and neutral facial expressions. Results revealed that women were more accurate at recognizing emotions in children. Regarding parental status, parents, in comparison with nonparents, rated neutral expressions as more intense and genuine. They also rated sad, angry, disgusted, and fearful faces as less negative, and happy expressions as less positive. The editing and validation of the E-TIF database offers a useful tool for basic and experimental research in psychology.

Background: Cognitive decline does not always occur; therefore, it is important to recognise the predictors in people over 60. The COVID-19 pandemic led to isolation to limit the spread of the virus, with older people being the most affected. Objectives: To analyse the cognitive variables of older adults in confinement during COVID-19 using tele-neuropsychology for cognitive assessment, comparing online with in-person screening. Methods: In total, 148 subjects took part in the study. Participants were assigned to the in-person or online intervention based on their preferences. A person close to the patient also participated in the study as an informant. Results: The results support the suitability of the protocol used in both modalities (face-to-face/online). Conclusions: Both assessments (face-to-face and online) are equally effective. The findings are consistent with the importance of cognitive measures and the key informant corroboration in identifying indicators of cognitive decline and implementing early intervention strategies.

El presente artículo de reflexión teórica se centra en analizar las necesidades de un grupo de mujeres que han sufrido un cáncer de mama, denominadas “supervivientes permanentes” o “a largo plazo” en las que, transcurridos más de cinco años tras el tratamiento primario, continúan con secuelas tanto físicas como psíquicas. Para ello se realizó un análisis exploratorio de la literatura existente en bases de datos del ámbito de la salud, en un periodo temporal de 2015 a 2019. Se analizan los conceptos de “superviviente” y “superviviente a largo plazo”, los síntomas psíquicos y físicos que se mantienen más allá de los 5 años post-tratamiento y la posible existencia de un trastorno de estrés postraumático por cáncer (más allá del miedo a la recidiva). Finalmente, se plantea el debate acerca del concepto de superviviente como identidad adjudicada, en la cual no todas las mujeres se reconocen.

El objetivo del presente capítulo es contribuir a la discusión sobre la internacionalización del currículo en contextos universitarios. Para lograr este propósito, tomamos como referencia la sistematización pedagógica de la implementación que hemos llevado a cabo durante dos años en nuestros cursos de metodología de la investigación cualitativa. A partir de los resultados, se plantean algunas reflexiones sobre las competencias interculturales y la internacionalización del currículo.
