WebTVs as Channels for Scientific Communication: A Case Study from the University of Foggia

In the digital age, universities, as centers of research and innovation, are embracing new modes of communication by integrating digital tools to disseminate educational content, engage diverse audiences, and enhance learning experiences. University Web TV stands as a prime example of this evolution, serving as a versatile multimedia platform for delivering academic lectures, seminars, and other educational resources to a global audience. By breaking down geographic barriers, it democratizes access to knowledge. Moreover, it enables universities to showcase their research initiatives, cultural events, and community outreach programs. This article aims to delve deeper into the significance of university Web TV and analyze its potential as a tool for research, data collection, and scientific dissemination. Finally, adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this paper will scrutinize the successful case of University Web TV at the University of Foggia (“WeUnifg” project). As an innovative and multifaceted tool, university Web TV has the potential to become the university channel of the future. Its myriad uses, from facilitating access to education to innovating teaching methods and promoting student involvement in academic research activities (and vice versa), are yet to be fully explored. Moreover, it holds significance in shaping public perception of science and attracting new talent to research

Elucidating the (lipo)Phenolic Composition of Olive Oil By‐Products and Biomass From Three Different Olea Europaea Cultivars by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Photodiode Array and Mass Spectrometry

The olive oil industry is currently experiencing a period of significant growth, largely as a result of the high value placed on olive oil as a high-nutritional food product on a global scale. Industrial olive oil production generates significant quantities of solid waste and dark liquid effluents, involving olive leaves (OLs), olive pomace (OP), and olive mill wastewaters (OMWWs). Particular attention was given to the recycling and valorization of by-products and biomass from the olive oil industry due to their richness in bioactive compounds, including phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was the sustainable recovery and characterization of valuable biocompounds, notably phenols, with particular emphasis on lipophenols, from different matrices (OMWWs, OP, and OLs) of three different Olea europaea cultivars using LC coupled with photodiode array (PDA) and MS detection. Method validation demonstrated satisfactory linearity (R-2 > 0.9806), repeatability (lower than 9.82%) and recovery (over 79.07%) for all samples investigated. Before quantification, the matrix effect was also evaluated with values ranging from 71.99% to 139.70%.The results highlight that OLs, OP, and OMWWs might be employed for several applications, including nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, food, and animal feed

Imaging Features of Prostate Sarcoma: A Case Report

: A 54-year-old man presented to our clinic complaining of painful ejaculation. The patient underwent various imaging modalities, including ultrasound, transrectal ultrasound, prostate magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography/computed tomography that detected a voluminous mass originating from the prostate. Histological examination diagnosed a prostate sarcoma, a rare mesenchymal tumour. This case offers an opportunity to evaluate a rare subtype of prostate cancer and to describe its main imaging features with an educational approach
