Personality traits and non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents: the role of depressive symptoms as an explanatory mechanism
(Grupo de Investigación Análisis, Intervención y Terapia Aplicada con Niños y Adolescentes, 2026) Gabardón, Celia; Calvete Zumalde, Esther
Non-suicidal self-injury is a highly relevant issue during adolescence. The main objective of the present study was to determine whether there is a relationship between three personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and effortful control) and non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents and whether depressive symptoms act as an explanatory mechanism. A total of 747 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years (50.9% girls) participated in the study. Participants completed measures assessing non-suicidal self-injury (frequency and automatic and social reinforcement functions), personality traits, and depressive symptoms. Results from regression models showed that high levels of neuroticism and low levels of extraversion and effortful control were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, which in turn were related to a higher frequency of non-suicidal self-injury and greater use of these behaviors for automatic and social reinforcement functions. These associations were invariant for boys and girls. The findings may inform preventive interventions targeting non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents.
La competencia investigadora en la formación superior en educación social: el caso de la Universidad de Deusto

El presente artículo busca analizar las percepciones del alumnado en diferentes etapas formativas y del profesorado sobre los procesos, espacios y momentos que facilitan o dificultan el desarrollo de la competencia investigadora en el Grado de Educación Social de la Universidad de Deusto. Se han analizado las competencias del Grado en Educación Social y los discursos de 40 personas (estudiantado y profesorado) a través de 4 grupos de discusión en la Universidad de Deusto. Los resultados analizan la competencia investigadora en el Grado de Educación Social no cual materia lectiva extra, sino como una trayectoria gradual de elaboración lingüística, vivencias contextualizadas y vínculos personales. La competencia investigadora emerge más como un componente de identidad en conflicto que como una destreza puramente operativa. El estudio identifica tres desplazamientos discursivos principales: (1) complejización conceptual de la investigación, que transita de definiciones instrumentales a concepciones críticas y reflexivas; (2) ampliación de su campo de aplicación, desde el ámbito académico hacia los contextos de intervención socioeducativa; y (3) resignificación identitaria, mediante el paso de requisito académico a competencia profesional constitutiva del ejercicio ético y riguroso. Persisten tensiones estructurales que aun dentro de un proceso de consolidación, siempre existen márgenes de mejora en la formación. La construcción de la competencia investigadora depende de la articulación coherente entre tres dimensiones interrelacionadas: conceptual, experiencial e identitaria. Si estas esferas convergen, la investigación se asimila como labor fundamental del perfil laboral; si se separan, emerge fragmentación educativa. El estudio concluye que la competencia investigadora debe entenderse como núcleo estructurante del proceso de profesionalización en Educación Social. Su integración efectiva requiere no solo presencia curricular, sino coherencia institucional que anticipe su legitimación profesional dentro del propio grado. Más que un desafío operativo, es una meta cultural enfocada a fortalecer una esencia profesional donde actuar e investigar conformen competencias indivisibles y avales de rigor, validez y transformación social.

CTNNB1 Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by de novo pathogenic variants characterized by global cognitive impairment, microcephaly, speech and motor delay, abnormal muscle tone, ophthalmologic impairments, behaviour problems and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms. The aim of this study is to carry out a thorough clinical and psychological characterization of Spanish CTNNB1 syndrome patients. We used standard clinical assessment instruments and an ad hoc questionnaire to measure motor functioning, neurodevelopmental milestones, sleep problems, daily life activities, behavioural problems, communication and speech impairments, eating disorders and autistic features in 25 participants with CTNNB1 syndrome (15 females, 10 males; mean age 7.1 ± 4.1). Main clinical manifestations reported were microcephaly, motor impairment, sight problems, sleep disturbances and sensorial problems. Attainment of developmental milestones indicated motoric, language and daily living skills to be generally delayed. All participants had adaptative skills below their chronological age, even though verbal individuals had better functioning compared to nonverbal. Regarding behaviour impairments, CTNNB1 syndrome patients scored significantly high at internalizing and externalizing behavioural problems. Additionally, about 60% presented symptoms of ASD. Our findings have important implications for the psychotherapeutic and clinical approaches of CTNNB1 syndrome patients. We show the importance of early stimulation, given that an early attainment of developmental milestones is related to a current better function of many clinical variables. Moreover, previous underrated symptoms such as sleep problems, impaired adaptative skills and high rates of behavioural symptoms should be taken into consideration due to the harmful impact that have on every day life.
Early identification of autism using cry analysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of retrospective and prospective studies
(Springer, 2026-08-01) Pusil Arce, Sandra Angélica; Laguna, Ana; Chino Vilca, Brenda Nadia; Zegarra Valdivia, Jonathan Adrián; Orlandi, Silvia
Cry analysis is emerging as a promising tool for early autism identification. Acoustic features such as fundamental frequency (F0), cry duration, and phonation have shown potential as early vocal biomarkers. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of cry characteristics and the role of Machine Learning (ML) in improving autism screening. A comprehensive search of relevant databases was conducted to identify studies examining acoustic cry features in infants with an elevated likelihood of autism. Inclusion criteria focused on retrospective and prospective studies with clear cry feature extraction methods. A meta-analysis was performed to synthesize findings, particularly focusing on differences in F0, and assessing the role of ML-based cry analysis. The review identified eleven studies with consistent acoustic markers, including F0, phonation, duration, amplitude, and voice quality, as reliable indicators of neurodevelopmental differences associated with autism. ML approaches significantly improved screening precision by capturing non-linear patterns in cry data. The meta-analysis of six studies revealed a trend toward higher F0 in autistic infants, although the pooled effect size was not statistically significant. Methodological heterogeneity and small sample sizes were notable limitations across studies. Cry analysis holds promise as a non-invasive, accessible tool for early autism screening, with ML integration enhancing its diagnostic potential. However, the findings emphasize the need for large-scale, longitudinal studies with standardized methodologies to validate its utility and ensure its applicability across diverse populations. Addressing these gaps could establish cry analysis as a cornerstone of early autism identification.
Babesgabeko haurtzaroaren esparruan lan egiten duten gizarte hezitzaileen testuinguru profesionala
(Gobierno Vasco = Eusko Jaurlaritza: Departamento de Vivienda y Asuntos Sociales = Etxebizitza eta Gizarte Gaietarako Saila, 2010) Fernández Fernández, Idoia Begoña; Alonso Olea, María José; Arandia Loroño, Maite; Beloki Arizti, Nekane; Otaño Maiza, Jesús; Remiro Barandiaran, Arantza; Uribe-Echevarria Flores, Aranzazu; Agirre García, Nerea
Oinarriko bi kezka izan ditugu azterlan hau burutu dugun egileok. Alde batetik, zubi-lanak bete nahi izan ditugu Unibertsitatearen eta gizarte hezkuntzaren langintzan ari garenon artean; eta, asmo hori burutzeko, elkarlanean aritu gara eta diseinu kualitatiboa izan duen azterlan hauxe kaleratu dugu. Bestetik, aztertu ditugu EAEko babesgabeko haurtzaroaren eremuan hezitzaileen lanetan ematen diren testuinguruak. Langileen testuingurua aztertzean, azpimarratu nahi izan dugu gizarte hezitzaileen oinarriko eta etenik gabeko prestakuntza indartu beharra; eta, analisi kualitatibo horren bidez, jasotako emaitzak helarazi nahi dizkiegu haurtzaroaren gizarte-hezkuntzako esku-hartzeetan eskumenak dituzten administrazioei. Aholkularitza batzorde baten gidaritzapean, bitariko taldea osatu dugu (akademikoak eta profesionalak); betiere, gizarte hezkuntzaren izakera profesionala kontuan hartu dugu, eta gaiarekiko ikuspegi pedagogiko kritiko batek gidatu du azterlana. Testuingurune profesionaletan landu beharreko taldetasun sentimenduaren garrantzia agerian utzi dute jaso ditugun aurkikuntzek. Nahiz eta babesgabeko haurtzaroaren alorreko prestakuntza garatzean, ikuspegi tekniko eta adituaren garrantzia oinarrizkotzat hartu; taldetasunaren, abegitasunaren eta egunerokoan, etenik gabe, ikasten denaren garrantzia azpimarratu dute, azterlan honetan jasotako emaitzek.
