Calorimetria diferencial de barrido. Influencia de la composición del aceite de oliva virgen en su perfil térmico
Samples of olive oil from the cultivars ‘Arbequina’ and ‘Picual’, with different contents in polyphenols, were analyzed by means of differential scanning calorimetry. Three speeds of cooling/heating (1, 5 and 10ºC/min) were analyzed with the differences between duplicates being lowest when the analysis was carried out at 5°C/min. An important varietal effect (pMuestras de aceite de las variedades ‘Arbequina’ y ‘Picual’, con diferentes contenidos en polifenoles, son analizadas mediante calorimetría diferencial de barrido a 1, 5 y 10 °C/min de velocidad de enfriamiento y de calentamiento, obteniéndose las diferencias entre duplicados más bajas cuando el análisis se efectúa a 5 ºC/min.

Spurring or Blurring Professional Standards? The Role of Digital Technology in Implementing Journalistic Role Ideals in Contemporary Newsrooms
This study examines the perceived relevance and implementation of competing normative ideals in journalism in times of increasing use of digital technology in newsrooms. Based on survey and content analysis data from 37 countries, we found a small positive relationship between the use of digital research tools and “watchdog” performance. However, a stronger and negative relationship emerged between the use of digital audience analytics and the performance of “watchdog” and “civic” roles, leading to an overall increase in conception–performance gaps on both roles. Moreover, journalists’ use of digital community tools was more strongly and positively associated with “infotainment” and “interventionism.”
Community structure, population dynamics and diversity of fungi in a full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) for urban wastewater treatment
The ratio of metabolically active versus total Mycolata populations triggers foaming in a membrane bioreactor
Assessment of the diversity and abundance of the total and active fungal population and its correlation with humification during two-phase olive mill waste (‘‘alperujo”) composting
Metagenomic and transcriptomic techniques applied to composting could increase our understanding of the overall microbial ecology and could help us to optimise operational conditions which are directly related with economic interest. In this study, the fungal diversity and abundance of two-phase olive mill waste (“alperujo”) composting was studied using Illumina MiSeq sequencing and quantitative PCR, respectively. The results showed an increase of the fungal diversity during the process, with Ascomycota being the predominant phylum. Penicillium was the main genera identified at the mesophilic and maturation phases, with Debaryomyces and Sarocladium at the thermophilic phase, respectively. The fungal abundance was increased during composting, which confirms their important role during thermophilic and maturation phases. Some Basidiomycota showed an increased during the process, which showed a positive correlation with the humification parameters. According to that, the genus Cystofilobasidium could be used as a potential fungal biomarker to assess alperujo compost maturation.This work was supported by the ERDF-co-financed projects from Junta de Andalucía (Spain) [P12-AGR-1968], the Spanish MINECO [AGL2015-64582-CO3-02] and MINECO-CSIC RECUPERA 2020 [20134R070].
