A novel child-oriented procedure was used to examine the face-recognition abilities of children as young as 2 years. A recognition task was embedded in a picture book containing a story about two boys and a witch. The story and the task were designed to be entertaining for children of a wide age range. In eight trials, the children were asked to pick out one of the boys from amongst eight distractors as quickly as possible. Response-time data to both upright and inverted conditions were analysed. The results revealed that children aged 6 years onwards showed the classic inversion effect. By contrast, the youngest children, aged 2 to 4 years, were faster at recognising the target face in the inverted condition than in the upright condition. Several possible explanations for this 'inverted inversion effect' are discussed.

Viruses may be regarded as dynamic nucleoprotein assemblies capable of assisted multiplication within cells, and of propagation between cells and organisms. Infectious virus particles (virions) assembled in a host cell are dynamic, generally metastable particles: They are robust enough to protect the viral genome outside the cell but are also poised to undergo structural changes and execute mechanochemical actions required for infection of other cells. This chapter provides a broad introduction to the structural and physical biology of viruses and is intended mainly for virology students.

To determine the effect of the relevance of animated elements on preschoolers' comprehension, an experimental study was conducted. Thirtythree preschoolers between the aged 4-5 years engaged with DPB in three conditions: high- and lowrelevant animations and a static control while listening to the story; their eye movements were recorded simultaneously.

Purpose: Despite several decades of research focused on improving early symbolic communication for individuals with multiple disabilities, relatively limited focus has been placed on individuals who also have visual impairments. To establish what is currently known about aided language adaptations for this population, a meta-analysis was conducted to examine augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention approaches for individuals with multiple disabilities that include visual impairments.
Method: Six relevant databases were systematically searched.

Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzing 5 pediatric dermatology books from Brazil and Argentina found that out of 2,471 evaluated photographs, 56% were white, 42% light brown, and there were no representations of dark brown or black skin.
- * This lack of representation in educational materials is problematic, especially since a significant portion of the Brazilian population identifies as Black, underscoring the need to improve diversity in medical resources to enhance healthcare for all skin types.
