Dalla creazione nel 2007, il Partner Program di YouTube conta oggi più di ventimila membri da ventidue Paesi in tutto il mondo, molti dei quali ogni anno ottengono un fatturato a sei cifre. Un ruolo essenziale è giocato dalla qualità dei contenuti proposti, ma buona parte della loro popolarità è conseguenza di un utilizzo (magari inconscio) di alcune delle più moderne ed efficaci strategie di marketing e advertising “social”. Possiamo trattare un Partner Channel alla stessa stregua di un Brand? Quanto possono beneficiare i Partner di YouTube da una formalizzazione e presa di coscienza delle strategie promozionali che spesso adottano? Un libro ricco di spunti, teorici e pratici, per coloro che intendono portare un canale Partner di YouTube verso un nuovo livello di coinvolgimento: trovare la propria strada è possibile, ma l’avventura di un Partner Channel di successo comincia a non essere più alla portata di youtubers improvvisati.
Addiction in its various forms represents an enormous challenge to society. Worldwide, it has been estimated that alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs were responsible of more than 10 million deaths (Anderson et al, 2018), with a higher impact in developed countries where substance use disorders have been identified as responsible for life expectancy reversals (Rehm et al, 2016). Societal and medical responses to the problem are far from optimal, but the appearance of new technologies offers room for improvement, and lots of new initiatives have been launched and developed. In this Special Issue, we will describe and discuss how these new tools are helping to improve the assessment and treatment of substance use disorders. We will cover a wide variety of novelties that are being applied to addiction; e-health, APPs, digital phenotyping, ecological momentary assessment and interventions, wearable technology, computer-assisted tests, transcraneal magnetic stimulation, and virtual reality are just some examples of developments in a field that promises to create a real revolution in the assessment and treatment of addictions.
Habituation describes the progressive decrease of the amplitude or frequency of a motor response to repeated sensory stimulation that is not caused by sensory receptor adaptation or motor fatigue. Habituation can occur in different time scales: habituation within a testing session has been termed short-term habituation, whereas habituation across testing sessions has been termed long-term habituation. Generally, the more spaced the stimuli for inducing habituation are presented (i.e. the slower habituation is induced), the longer it seems to take to recover the behavioural response to its initial magnitude. Habituation is opposed by behavioural sensitization, which is thought to be an indepe...
Che cos'è ‘la sindrome di Italia ‘90’? È un disturbo che ha colto un’intera generazione, quella dei nati intorno al 1980, che a 10 anni videro perdere l’Italia ai rigori contro l’Argentina in semifinale nel Mondiale organizzato in casa. Quella generazione che doveva essere speciale e privilegiata, si è ritrovata venticinque anni dopo a non avere un lavoro e con poche possibilità di essere indipendente economicamente e di farsi una famiglia. In questo libro, una sorta di studio sociologico-umoristico, Marco Bonfiglio spiega perché: tutta colpa, appunto, di Italia ‘90. La sua generazione è stata segnata e traumatizzata da quell'evento così ricco di aspettative che poi si s...
