Large-scale, interoperable biobanks are an increasingly important
asset in today's life science research and, as a result, multiple
types of biobanks are being established around the globe with very
different financial, organizational and legal set-ups. With
interdisciplinary chapters written by lawyers, sociologists,
doctors and biobank practitioners, Global Genes, Local Concerns
identifies and discusses the most pressing issues in contemporary
biobanking. This timely book addresses pressing questions such as:
how do national biobanks best contribute to translational
research?; What are the opportunities and challenges that current
regulations present for translational use of biobanks?; How does
inter-biobank coordination and collaboration occur on various
levels?; and how could academic and industrial exploitation,
ownership and IPR issues be addressed and facilitated? Identifying
that biobanks foundational and operational set-ups should be
legally and ethically sound, while at the same time reflecting the
hopes and concerns of all the involved stakeholders, this book
contributes to the continued development of international
biobanking by highlighting and analysing the complexities in this
important area of research. Academics in the fields of law and
ethics, health law and biomedical law, as well as biobank managers
and policymakers will find this insightful book a stimulating and
engaging read. Contributors include: T. Bossow, T.A. Caulfield,

Although in hindsight the end of the Cold War seems almost inevitable, almost no one saw it coming and there is little consensus over why it ended. A popular interpretation is that the Soviet Union was unable to compete in terms of power, especially in the area of high technology. Another interpretation gives primacy to the new ideas Gorbachev brought to the Kremlin and to the importance of leaders and domestic considerations. In this volume, prominent experts on Soviet affairs and the Cold War interrogate these competing interpretations in the context of five "turning points" in the end of the Cold War process. Relying on new information gathered in oral history interviews and archival research, the authors draw into doubt triumphal interpretation that rely on a single variable like the superior power of the United States and call attention to the importance of how multiple factors combined and were sequenced historically. The volume closes with chapters drawing lessons from the end of the Cold War for both policy making and theory building.

This brief examines proactive steps police can take to lessen the
potential for disaster, improve preparedness for disasters that do
occur and enhance our ability to respond to and recover from them.
Featuring several countries across the globe as case studies, it
illustrates the predictability of various natural and manmade
disasters and the need of the local police organizations to develop
contingency plans to save lives and structures. With disaster
losses and the human toll reaching staggering rates, and even more
destructive events projected for the future as the climate shifts,
there is a need for action by police and the local communities
together. This volume offers a proactive plan that needs to be put
in place for future crises, based on the projected predictability
of reoccurring events. The brief can serve as a template for other
countries and police task forces that have and will face similar
crises situations in the future.
This brief examines 36,263 homicides in Chicago over a 53-year
study period, 1965 through 2017, at micro place grid cells of 150
by 150 meters. This study shows not only long-term historical
patterns of homicides in Chicago, but also places that historical
context of homicide in reference to the dramatic increases in
homicides in 2016-2017. It uses several different inequality
metrics, as well as kernel density maps to demonstrate that
homicides were more clustered in the 1960's compared to later
periods. Using zero inflated group-based trajectory models, it
demonstrates the long-term temporal stability of homicides at micro
places. This brief will be of interest to researchers in policing,
homicide, and research methods in criminology.

In den vergangenen Jahren fUhrten die zuHillige Zuord- nung von
Patienten in alternative Behandlungsverfahren (Randomisation) und
die Frage der AufkHlrung zu Mei- nungsverschiedenheiten zwischen
Juristen una onkolo- gisch tatigen Medizinern. Urn diese
Kontroversen ausfUhr- lich zu erortern und nach Moglichkeit einen
Konsens zu erreichen, fUhrte der AusschuB Onkologie des Klinikums-
vorstandes der Universitat Heidelberg am 9. und 10. De- zember 1983
in der Akademie der Wissenschaften einen Workshop durch uber die
"Randomisation und Aufk1a- rung bei klinischen Therapiestudien in
der Onkologie". 6 Juristen, 27 Mediziner und 3 wissenschaftliche
Mitarbei- ter von pharmazeutischen Firmen aus Frankfurt, Freiburg,
Gottingen, Munster, Augsburg, Kaiserlautern und Heidel- berg waren
Teilnehmer. Nach einleitenden Referaten wur- den die medizinischen
und juristischen Gesichtspunkte diskutiert. Die mit onkologischen
Fragestellungen befaB- ten Mediziner begriiBten die
Auseinandersetzung mit den Juristen, urn uber die Darlegung eigener
Standpunkte hin- aus zu einer Annaherung zu kommen. Diese fand
ihren Ausdruck in "Empfehlungen zur Randomisation und Auf- klarung
bei Therapiestudien in der Onkologie", die uber- einstimmend
gebilligt wurden. In monographischer Form werden die Referate und
die Empfehlungen einem groBe- ren Kreis von interessierten Juristen
und Medizinern vor- gestellt.
