F. Tonioni, Università Cattolica Sacro Cuore, Roma, Italy Psicopatologia web mediata Dipendenza da internet e nuovi fenomeni dissociativi

L’opera intende trasmettere ai lettori l’esperienza clinica del nostro Ambulatorio sulla Dipendenza da Internet dove è emersa una netta separazione tra utenti adulti, dediti a siti per adulti e gioco d’azzardo on line e utenti giovani fruitori di social network e giochi di ruolo on line. I primi sono inquadrati nell’ambito della dipendenza pato- logica caratterizzata dal carattere compulsivo della condotta comportamentale che si muove, come di solito accade per le dipendenze patologiche, in un contesto autistico dove manca l’interazione con l’altro; i secondi invece manifestano, proprio perchè adolescenti, la loro fame di relazioni che di fatto vengono moltiplicate da chat, social network e giochi di ruolo. Le relazioni web-mediate rap- presentano già la maggior parte dei contatti fra i giovani e sono in realtà relazioni parziali, dove il corpo fisicamente inteso è escluso e l’emotività coartata. Questo da origine a fenomeni clinici nuovi, compresi quelli chiamati “Psicopatologia web mediata” che l’autore descrivere e per i quali propone trattamenti specifici.

Features 7 La proposta di una nuova definizione di Dipendenza da internet, compresa nello spettro delle patologie web-mediate 7 La descrizione del meccanismo dissociativo, alla base della dipen- denza patologica, con funzioni diverse negli adulti rispetto ai giovani 7 La rappresentazione di un nuovo profilo cognitivo, frutto dell’interazione mente-computer

S. Xiao, Hunan University, Changsha, China; W. Gong, D. Towsley, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA, USA Dynamic Secrets in Communication Security

Dynamic secrets are constantly generated and updated from messages exchanged between two communication users. When dynamic secrets are used as a complement to existing secure commu- nication systems, a stolen key or password can be quickly and automatically reverted to its secret sta- tus without disrupting communication. Dynamic Secrets in Communication Security presents unique security properties and application studies for this technology. Password theft and key theft no longer pose serious security threats when par- ties frequently use dynamic secrets. This book also illustrates that a dynamic secret based security scheme guarantees impersonation attacks are de- tected even if an adversary steals a user’s password or their key is lost. Practitioners and researchers working in network security or wireless communi- cations will find this book a must-have reference. Dynamic Secrets in Communication Security is also a valuable secondary text for advanced- level students in computer science and electrical engineering.

Features 7 Presents unique security properties and application studies for dynamic secrets 7 Com- pares dynamic secrets with conventional forms of secrets such as passwords and cryptographic keys using theoretical analysis and daily life analo- gies 7 Includes a case study on wireless medical devices and smart grid communications as ex- amples for the practicality of dynamic secrets

P. Zhang, CERN, Geneva 23, Switzerland Beam Diagnostics in Superconducting Accelerating Cavities The Extraction of Transverse Beam Position from Beam-Excited Higher Order Modes

An energetic charged particle beam introduced to an rf cavity excites a wakefield therein. This wake- field can be decomposed into a series of higher order modes and multipoles, which for sufficiently small beam offsets are dominated by the dipole component. This work focuses on using these dipole modes to detect the beam position in third harmonic superconducting S-band cavities for light source applications. A rigorous examination of several means of analysing the beam position based on signals radiated to higher order modes ports is presented.

A. Yüksel Mermod, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey; S. O. Idowu, London Metropolitan University, London, UK (Eds) Corporate Social Responsibility in the Global Business World

This book provides an overview of the application of Corporate Social Responsibility in businesses and corporations around the world. Primarily based on real cases, it focuses on different ap- proaches to CSR from a global perspective. It pro- vides a critique of the “wrong” practices often employed even by multinational organizations, and highlights the resultant negative effects. On the other hand the book demonstrates good ex- amples that can help multinationals or even entire countries to achieve both a better reputation and increased profitability. “CSR in the Global Busi- ness World” is a rich resource of illustrative cases, serving both as a basis for ongoing research as well as for teaching purposes at the business school level.

Features 7 Provides a global version and discussion of the CSR concept 7 Analyzes specific cases that are of interest to scholars and practitioners 7 Explores and discusses different guises of the CSR notion in business and management schools 7 Covers a wide array of business functions such as market- ing, consumer behaviour, corporate governance, non-profit organizations and financial aspects

Contents Part One: Professionals’ CSR.- Part Two: Cor- porate Governance and Financial Crisis.- ​Part Three: Not-for-Profit Sector and SMEs.- Part Four: Ethics, Morality and CSR in Corporations.- Part Five: CSR in Education and Socially Responsible Investment.

W. Szubko-Sitarek, University of Lodz, Poland Multilingual Lexical Recognition in the Mental Lexicon of Third Language Users

The monograph constitutes an attempt to dem- onstrate that trilinguals should be considered as learners and speakers in their own right as opposed to L2 learners with a view to enumerating consequences this would bring to third or addi- tional language teaching. Its theoretical part offers an insight into the structure of the multilingual mental lexicon which is a product of the interplay of a whole array of cross-linguistic factors in the minds of multilingual speakers. The empirical part reports the findings of an empirical study which aimed to investigate connections which are formed between multiple languages in a multilin- gual mind.

Features 7 Provides profound insights into the analysis of the multilingual lexicon for a language combi- nation 7 Describes concrete examples of the spe- cial status of bi- and trilingual cognates 7 Deals with multilingual didactics
