A quantitative and thematic study of the use of film sequences in television news editing has been performed. Only cases where films illustrate news pieces about non-cinema related topics were taken into consideration. The basic legal aspects about the use of these sequences are mentioned. The study results can help in the decision-making process about tasks related to the analysis of trailers and electronic press kits. In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the use of film clips in the news, especially on issues of "Society" (40% of total). The results show that 20% of the use is as a metonymic function (when one element is replaced for another with which it has a close relationship, causal, spatial or temporal, and the pictures do not show the narrative element but something that is part of it, such as replacing an author for his work) and 80% environmental or illustrative (supporting the information offered). When extracts do not exceed 20 seconds, may be used without legal permission, what is known as a fair use chrestomathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Lower Cambrian Barrios Beds (Cantabrian Mountains) consist of a siliciclastic succession deposited in deltaic environments punctuated by intertidal and fluvial systems. In the ‘Barrios de Luna’ area, this succession displays a progradational depositional systems tract that contains linkages between upper offshore, tidal sand bars, fluvial channels, and floodplain environments. The uppermost fluvial channels are encased within floodplain or interfluvial deposits, some of which develop muddy paleosols. The detailed micromorphological, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), geochemical, and mineralogical studies of their pedogenic profiles indicate the presence of three well-differentiated horizons: fragmentation and shrinking of the upper horizons originated a network of channel-like-to-vuggy porosity occluded by microlaminated clays, cyclically emplaced by tidal floods and seasonal oxidation; the middle horizons have concretionary to vermicular textures associated with microbioturbation and bacterial colonization; and the lower ones are mottled, containing numerous preserved lithorelics. The Barrios (sulfidic) Ustifluvent paleosols represent short-time pedogenic events under semiarid subtropical conditions, and support previous studies of Cambrian microbial life on subaerially exposed microenvironments.
