Global Uniform Sales Law – With a European Twist? CISG Interaction with EU Law, Vindobona Journal of International Commercial Law and Arbitration, 13 (2009)
No full textThe paper investigates the interaction between the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980 (CISG) and European Community law. It outlines the historical involvement of the European Community in the efforts to create a global uniform sales law (first through the Hague Sales Laws, then through the CISG), before elaborating on the way in which the CISG has influenced various law making efforts of the EU (the EC Consumer Sales Directive, the EC Late Payments Directive, other EC Directives, the ongoing plans to create a European 'Optional Instrument', and the revised rule on the jurisdiction of the courts at the place of performance under Article 5 No. 1 of the Brussels I Regulation). The final part of the paper concentrates on the influence the CISG has and could have on the interpretation of European Community law, and makes the case against the European Court of Justice's power of interpretation over the CISG
Musicians have a better memory than nonmusicians: a meta-analysis
No full textSeveral researchers investigated whether musicians (i.e., people who underwent a long music training) have better performances than nonmusicians (i.e., people who received little to no music training) in memory tasks. Although results suggest an advantage of musicians over nonmusicians in various tasks, some studies did not observe this advantage. For this reason, we ran a meta-analysis with the aim of understanding whether there is any positive effect of the music training on memory in young adults. We collected 29 studies that included 53 different tasks. Tasks were divided in three categories, depending on the system of memory tapped: long-term memory, short-term memory, and working memory. Three meta-analyses were conducted separately for each memory system. We also tested the effect of a possible moderator that we defined as the type of stimuli (i.e., verbal, visuospatial, and tonal) used in the study. The three meta-analyses revealed a medium effect-size (i.e., a musicians’ advantage) in short-term memory and in working memory suggesting that the music training benefits these two memory systems. Moreover, there was an effect of the moderator, suggesting that the type of stimuli modulates the results. In short term memory and working memory the advantage of musicians was large with tonal stimuli, moderate with verbal stimuli and small to null for visuospatial ones. In contrast, in long-term memory the effect-size was small, with no effect of the moderator
