    Abstract - The aim of this contribution isto report on the main results on the attractive-ness of the Master’s degree programmes at theUniversity of Pavia.The analyses conducted show manystrengths and numerous areas of attractivenessin the university’s postgraduate academic offer.Some degree programmes are consideredpeaks of excellence, such as the Master’s de-gree programmes in Digital communicationand in Experimental and applied biology,which both rank third nationally in terms ofnumber of students enrolled. Flow analysis indicates that failure toenrol in Master’s degree programmes by UNIPVgraduates is often counterbalanced by the num-ber of incoming students from other universi-ties and that actual drop-outs are documentedonly in few courses. The orientation events were very effectivefor internal graduate students, as 3 out of 4enrol in postgraduate programmes. Some stu-dents do not participate in the events becausethey have already decided to further pursuetheir academic career within the same univer-sity. Despite the positive factors listed above,the analysis has brought to light some criticalareas, which require the identification andadoption of ad hoc strategies. The orientationevents are effective for one out of 4 incomingstudents from other universities, suggestingthat there is still ground for improvement in en-gaging these students. Furthermore, Master’sdegree programmes with declining enrolmentrates are often in strong competition withMilan. In particular, the Engineering pro-grammes compete with the Polytechnic Uni-versities in Milan and Turin. The use of data-driven approaches is in-creasingly necessary to monitor and identifycritical and success factors linked to theprogress of university students

    This paper focuses on Libya as a country of immigration and emigration. The first part of this work describes migration flows between Libya and the rest of the world, based on official un data from 1990 to today. In the second part, the paper provides estimates of the number of Italian immigrants in Libya in the past and in the present; the historical data are retrieved from the Italian 1921 and 1931 censuses, while the current ones are based on official data from the Registry of Italians Resident Abroad (AIRE) and the un. Finally, Libyan migrants in Italy are estimated by comparing un data with data from the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT)

    Ferric carboxymaltose for patients with heart failure and iron deficiency in Italy: cost-effectiveness and budget impact

    Aims: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) versus placebo for the management of iron deficiency in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in the Italian healthcare system and to estimate its impact on the national healthcare budget. Materials&Methods: A Markov model was developed to project costs and health outcomes over 1 year, based on data from literature. Healthcare resources consumption was derived from an e-survey administered to clinicians. Costs were obtained from official tariffs. Results: Treatment with FCM represents a dominant strategy compared to placebo, leading to national budget annual savings of 20-97 million Euros, according to different increasing utilization rates. Conclusions: FCM is a cost-saving option for the treatment of CHF patients with iron deficiency in Italy

    The interplay between policy guidelines and localdynamics in shaping the scope of networks: theexperience of the Italian Departments of MentalHealth

    In the mental health field, the creation of networks that can guarantee the smooth coordination of services and organizations across sectors is a priority in the policy agenda of several countries. In Italy, Departments of Mental Health (DMHs) have been designated responsible for the system of specialist mental health services, and also mandated as the conveners and leaders of interorganizational and cross-sectoral networks, by a system-wide reform. This study aims to understand how mental health networks have been assembled in this context and the factors and motivations that have shaped their scope. By combining an analysis of policies with a survey of DMH directors, we have determined that DMHs have preferentially formed collaborative relationships with social service providers (local governments) and the voluntary sector. In contrast, relationships with substance abuse and addiction services and primary care providers were weak and stifled by a lack of trust and by conflict about respective contributions to mental care. We explore the reasons for this selectivity in interorganizational relationships and propose that a lack of targeted incentives in policy guidelines, on the one hand, and the existence of a mandated network leadership, on the other, have led to a rather narrow range of collaborations
