Support for Social Change Among Members of Advantaged Groups: The Role of a Dual Identity Representation and Accepting Intergroup Contact.

This preregistered research analyzed survey data from ethnic and religious advantaged groups in 12 countries ( 2,304) to examine the interplay between two determinants of support for social change toward intergroup equality. Drawing on the needs-based model and the common-ingroup identity model, we hypothesized that the experience of accepting intergroup contact and the endorsement of a dual identity representation of intergroup relations would be associated with greater support for equality. Furthermore, integrating the logic of both models, we tested the novel hypothesis that the positive effect of accepting contact on support for equality would be stronger under a high (vs.

Studies on the gushing potential of Penicillium expansum.

Gushing describes the spontaneous excessive over-foaming of carbonated beverages leading to considerable economic losses and reputational damages to the beverage industry. Surface-active proteins produced by filamentous fungi are involved in the induction of gushing. In the current study, the role of Penicillium expansum in sparkling wine gushing was investigated.

Influence of fermentation conditions on the secretion of seripauperin 5 (PAU5) by industrial sparkling wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The yeast mannoprotein seripauperin 5 (PAU5) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a negative gushing biomarker in sparkling wine with a direct gushing-reducing effect. The knowledge about the influence of the yeast strain and the fermentation conditions on the PAU5 content in the final product could reduce the gushing potential of sparkling wines and avoid economic losses for sparkling wine producers. The potential of 30 different commercially used (sparkling) wine S.
