Fear, Fact, and Prejudice: Disentangling The Drivers Of Restrictive Immigration Attitudes

This paper investigates how subjective fear and actual experiences of crime interact to shape attitudes toward immigrants. Using data from Round 11 of the European Social Survey (ESS) and applying survey weights to account for the complex sampling design, we employ Item Response Theory (IRT) to construct a robust latent measure of support for restrictive immigrant admission policies. A weighted linear regression model with an interaction term reveals that while perceived insecurity is strongl...

Between Necessity and Aspiration: Determinants of Internal and International Migration Intentions among Sardinian High School Students

This study explores migration propensity of high school students in an insular and peripheral context (Sardinia, Olbia-Tempio area) of Italy. By carrying out a survey to a sample of 343 students, the research investigates the determinants driving the propensity toward internal (mainland Italy) or international (abroad) mobility versus the choice to stay. Using three multinomial logistic regression models, the analysis reveals that international mobility is highly attractive (65.3% of the samp...

Price variations in food products: A time series dataset for analysis across regions in Italian supermarkets

Mirtazapine acutely inhibits basal and K+-stimulated release of corticotropin-releasing hormone from the rat hypothalamus via a non-genomic mechanism

Rationale: Originally described as a pivotal mediator of acute neuroendocrine responses to stress, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is currently envisioned as a peptide neurotransmitter involved in the pathogenesis of anxiety and depressive disorders; it has been postulated that antidepressant drugs are clinically effective insofar as they are able to reduce central CRH production and release. Objectives and methods: In this study we used a well validated in vitro model, i.e. acute ra...

Sustainability and high-level corruption in healthcare procurement: Profiles of Italian contracting authorities

Addressing corruption is crucial for building a sustainable healthcare system that ensures access, quality, and equity in healthcare delivery. Despite that, many current strategies to combat corruption in the healthcare sector do not evaluate high-level corruption, such as corruption risks occurring at sub-national levels. This work bridges this gap by providing corruption risk profiles of Italian contracting authorities responsible for procuring goods and services for healthcare facilities i...
