Alternatives to Pretrial Detention:Pre Global Best Practice Catalog
This Global Best Practice Catalog of Alternatives to Pretrial Detention was completed by students of the Master of Arts Degree Program in International Crime and Justice at John Jay College of Criminal Justice as part of their capstone course, in collaboration with the US State Department\u27s Diplomacy Lab program. This catalog is intended to cover best practices in reducing pretrial detention (either before it occurs or while it is occurring) across the globe, including laws, policies and programs. It does not include Oceania or very detailed information on North America. Each entry meets 5 of 8 criteria below, as decided by the students:
1. It respects human rights
2. It is affordable for the country\u27s budget
3. It is available to the majority of accused
4. It is definable: we know how the best practice works in context
5. It ensures public safety: no further crime or victimization occurs upon release from detention
6. It is verifiable: more than one source attests to it (it is not a recommendation - it really exists)
7. It is sustainable - it really works and it can self-subsist
8. It should not result in profits for private entities, beyond reasonable salaries
Each entry includes:
Title of the Practice
Listing of the class best practice criteria that it meets (5 out of 8)
Paragraph description of the practice, to include
-how long it鈥檚 been in practice
-what the main components of the best practice are
-scope: local or national
-who it affects
-costs if available (how it鈥檚 funded)
-who鈥檚 in charge of it (e.g. NGO/organizational structure)
-any independent evaluations?

An analysis of costs, benefits and opportunities of patent pools
Zasoby patentowe s膮 instytucj膮 o bogatej historii, prze偶ywaj膮c膮 obecnie, po okresie zapomnienia, sw贸j renesans. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest zdiagnozowanie znaczenia, jakie ma obecnie instytucja zasob贸w patentowych, oraz rozpoznanie szans, kt贸re funkcjonowanie rzeczonej instytucji mo偶e stwarza膰. W tym celu zostanie przeprowadzona analiza zagro偶e艅 oraz korzy艣ci wynikaj膮cych z funkcjonowania zasob贸w patentowych, z szerokim uwzgl臋dnieniem relacji rzeczonej instytucji do przepis贸w prawa konkurencji. Przedstawione zostanie r贸wnie偶 znaczenie zasob贸w patentowych w biotechnologii, konkretnie w obszarze genetycznych bada艅 diagnostycznych oraz w przemy艣le farmaceutycznym.Patent pools are an institution with a rich history, currently experiencing a renaissance after a period of oblivion. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of the patent pool institution and to identify the opportunities that the functioning of the institution may create. To this end, an analysis of the costs and benefits of patent pools will be carried out, with a broad consideration of the institution's relationship to competition law. The importance of patent pools in biotechnology, specifically in the field of diagnostic genetics and in the pharmaceutical industry will also be presented
