This paper explores the characteristics of metacognitive experiences and manifestations of distress in trainee interpreters in relation to an interpreting task in order to provide a source of information and reference to theory for the didactics of interpreting, which allows understanding the connections between the variables from an academic, metacognitive, and psychological perspective. For this purpose, research was conducted under a mixed approach, using three data collection instruments: Rivera's Stress Reactivity Index (IRE-32), which allows the identification of negative stress reactors (distress) immediately after the interpretation task and their relationship with metacognitive experiences. The Horowitz Impact of Event Scale, which allows identifying and characterizing internal factors related to the posttraumatic stress response as well as different aspects of the metacognitive experiences, and the semi structured interview, which provides information related to the stressors during the interpretation task, allowing it to be related to the exercise and the previous knowledge learned. It was found that students show negative reactivity to stress, in this case referred to as distress, in results such as: frustration, confusion, anxiety, lack of concentration, among others; and in reference to the expectations in their metacognitive experiences, they also stated that they felt overwhelmed in relation to their ability to recognize their aptitudes, skills and knowledge to perform the interpretation exercise adequately. Key words: distress, eustress, interpretation, metacognitive experiences.

This paper aim to study the cultural, terminological and translation challenges involved in translating gastronomic texts from Spanish to French, more specifically restaurant menus. To this end, firstly, from an analytical-descriptive point of view, we will address the concept of culturemes within gastronomic translation and the different translation strategies and techniques that the translator should consider in this agri-food field. On the other hand, secondly, we will exemplify the challenges of gastronomic translation through the case study of Noor Restaurant and the translation of its menus.

Idioms are an important part of the Chinese language and culture. This study attempts to reveal the characteristics of the Spanish translation language of Chinese idioms and to decipher the reasons why these characteristics arise. With this study objective, a parallel corpus is built with a thousand idioms taken from ten modern Chinese literary works and their respective versions translated into Spanish. Both qualitative and quantitative methods based on corpus are adopted to analyze the dynamic and complex translation process. The result shows that the idiom translation language presents a linguistic style with a simplified structure and explicit, simple and concrete semantics. This research completes the study of translation of Chinese idioms into Spanish.

The present study was based on a systematic literature review and aimed to assess previous researches regarding the investigative or forensic actions of those who work in cybercrime cases relating to child and adolescents sexual abuse. Evaluate the psychological health issues involved, to target a future intervention model proposal adjusted to the Brazilian law enforcement reality. It also addresses theoretical and legal aspects about pedophilia, sexual abuse, child pornography and the activity of the Federal Criminal Expert, who is one of the Brazilian Federal Police officer assigned to this type of work at the digital forensic field. On this research, the databases of Portal da Capes, Scielo, PsycNET (APA), Springer, Research Gate, Sage Journals were searched using logical queries (constructed through the Boolean AND and OR operations) and using several terms and their respective translations or adaptations. Due the specificity of the theme, results found in the Google Scholar search tool and in the references of the works obtained, in Portuguese and English, were also included. The conclusions indicate illnesses linked to the job, issues involving the police work culture and suggested indicators for modeling permanent follow-ups of preventive and interventional aspects.

A investigação criminal tem sido tratada separadamente do processo penal, dificultando uma melhor compreensão acerca de sua conformação de acordo com a Constituição Federal. Não obstante a distinção feita pela doutrina entre elementos de informação e elementos de juízo, é no inquérito policial que a prova é descoberta, servindo, inclusive, de apoio à decisão jurisdicional após o contraditório entre as partes na instrução criminal. Deste modo, este artigo busca compreender de que forma esta prova formada na investigação criminal pode ser valorada em juízo, reconhecendo que o inquérito policial não pode mais ser considerado uma mera peça informativa inquisitiva destinada à formação da opinio delicti, mas sim uma etapa procedimental cautelar sujeita ao controle jurisdicional e a princípios e regras típicos do processo penal, como o contraditório, a paridade de armas e a duração razoável do processo.

Shape abnormalities in children are frequent, so their study is important to clarify diagnoses since they can have different dental implications. It is possible to recognize an accessory cusp or tubercle called Carabelli (CT) in the mesiopalatine cusp of the temporary upper second molars, permanent upper first molars, and less frequently in the permanent upper second molars. Aim: To determine the prevalence of the Carabelli´s tubercle (CT) in patients of the Clinical and Orientation Service from the Quinquela Martín Hospital of Pediatric dentistry (HOI) Government of Buenos Aires City- Aires, Argentina. Regarding its etiology, determine if there is any relationship with the ethnic origin of the family. For this reason, the variable nationality of the parents was incorporated to examine the possible link between the presence of CT and the ethnic origin of the patient. Methods and Result: A sample of 363 children who were admitted for the first time to the Clinical and Orientation Service of the HOI between the period of August 2019 and March 2020 was evaluated. Results: The prevalence of CT observed was 34% in at least some teeth, with a greater tendency in the male gender of 55% and 45% in the female. Conclusions: The hypothesis proposed was that the prevalence of CT in patients attending the HOI is less than 50% and it was validated because 34% of patients present CT

The present work analyzes the difficulties resulting from the absence of gender marks in English when translating towards Spanish. To do so, the novel Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson – a masterpiece in which the identity of the leading character will be kept in strict ambiguity – would be studied taking into consideration aspects connected to the feminist and queer theories. Several extracts from both the original text and the translation by Encarna Gómez Castejón in 1988 will be exhaustively compared to evaluate the correctness and naturality of the translation. Additionally, if considered necessary, an alternative translation will be proposed.

Over the last decades, the number of regulations and statutory provisions related to the medical area has experienced a fairly significant increase. As a consequence, the administrative authorities have been forced to create more actual text genres that support and consolidate these new proceedings. They are documents that, due to their nature, belong to both legal and medical fields and that are named «medical-legal texts». These texts present certain formal and communicative features that differ on the basis of the linguistic and cultural contexts and that, hence, have an impact on the translation process. They are known as «text conventions». In this publication, we will bring the spotlight into minors to analyze one of the most unknown medical-legal genres in translation: the Suspected Child Abuse Report. We will study the different text conventions composing it in the linguistic combination German-English-Spanish, with the aim of identifying and resolving possible translation problems.
