The article examines post-conviction bail practices and eligibility criteria across various legal systems and focuses on the complex interplay between legal frameworks, cultural influences, and societal norms, examining factors such as severity of offense, risk of flight, strength of appeal grounds, and public safety considerations. The role of discretion in decision-making and the balance between individual rights and societal interests are central themes. This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the diverse mechanisms employed to address post-conviction bail, highlighting how cultural and societal factors shape these legal systems. The findings aim to inform legal practitioners, policymakers, and scholars, fostering a cross-jurisdictional dialogue on the evolving nature of post-conviction bail and its implications for justice systems worldwide. This article examines variations in post-conviction bail systems, eligibility criteria analysis, disparities and potential biases, effectiveness and impact, and emerging trends and best practices. By comprehensively comparing post-conviction bail practices across legal systems, the research seeks to enhance understanding of diverse approaches to pre-trial release, identify potential sources of disparity and bias in bail eligibility decisions, highlight effective models and emerging trends in post-conviction bail systems, provide valuable insights for legal reform initiatives, and contribute to ongoing discussions on balancing pre-trial detention with individual liberties and the right to a fair appeals process. In conclusion, this research aims to advance knowledge and inform policy discussions surrounding post-conviction bail as a crucial element of the criminal justice system in a globalized world.
A growing number of new unregulated drugs ('legal highs') have emerged in recent years which are also marketed on the Internet and often used on the recreational and night clubbing circuit. The EU has set up a system to detect new substances on the market and a mechanism to assess their risks and ban across the EU those substances that pose risks. The Council Decision on the information exchange, risk assessment and control of new psychoactive substances establishes an early warning system, enabling a rapid exchange of information on a new psychoactive substances emerging in the EU. When a new substance gives rise to concern, the EMCDDA and Europol can draw up a Joint Report, based on information on the substance collected from across the EU. Based on this Joint Report, the Commission or the individual of EU countries can request a risk assessment of the substance. Since 1997, EU countries notified more than 400 new psychoactive substances through the Early Warning System on new drugs. Those substances that seem to pose risks to health are subjected to risk assessment and if they are harmful, they are withdrawn of the market from the whole EU.
Although information theory resolves inconsistencies (known under the form of famous enigmas) of the traditional approach of thermostatistics, its place in the corresponding literature and in particular in textbooks is not what it deserves. This article supports the idea that this is mainly due to epistemological rather than scientific reasons: the subjectivity introduced into physics is perceived as a problem. Here is an attempt to expose and clarify where exactly this subjectivity lies: in the representation of the reality and in probabilistic inference. Two aspects which have been integrated into the practice of science for a long time and which should no longer frighten anyone, but which become explicit with information theory.
The stop of the electoral process in 1991 plunged Algeria into an unprecedented spiral of violence. Several political parties gathered in the platform of Sant-Egidio (Rome from January 8 to 15, 1995), for trying a peaceful solution to the political crisis which had shaken the country since three years. This platform represented a lot of hope for the Algerians who were hoping for a peaceful exit from the political crisis. Knowing that this event had not only a national but also an international impact. Thus, the entire Algerian press was involved in the event, especially El Watan, an independent daily journal and El Moudjahid, a government daily journal. Indeed, the application of factorial correspondence analysis (Benzécri, J-P: 1973). This analysis technique corresponds to the study of lexical quantification which allows, on the one hand, to conduct a comparative study between these two journals, and on the other hand to reveal argumentative strategies, based on theme words. and pairs of word occurrences, as well as the analysis of the discursive micro-universes of journalists.
The moderating role that organisational culture plays in the relationship between bank performance and CEO attributes has received attention in Tunisia. This study's primary objective was to ascertain the impact of organisational culture on the relationship between the CEO's attributes and the organisational performance of listed deposit money banks in Tunisia. The target demographic consisted of 406 full-time senior management employees of listed tier-one banks in Tunisia. The sample size that was produced by applying stratified and proportionate sampling techniques consisted of 381 employees. In order to collect data for the study, a questionnaire was employed. The reliability of the instrument was evaluated using the Cronbach alpha test. A 5% significance threshold was used in the study's hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis to evaluate the hypothesis. The findings indicate that the organisation culture has a negative and statistically significant moderating effect on the relationship between the CEO qualities and the organisational performance of the listed deposit money banks in Tunisia. Accordingly, the study recommended that the CEO Characteristics strategy be put into practice by the management of Deposit Money Banks in Tunisia in order to enhance organisational performance and people skills through a better organisational culture.
