The Conflict of Laws in Commercial Arbitration
Most of the wastes in Sweden end up in incinerator plants. These trashes are full of metals, especially aluminium, which will not oxidize, they can’t always be recycled and they will instead oxidize in water and leak hydrogen gas to its surrounding. Estimations calculate it could be an average potential of around 40-50 kWh/ton of burnt trash. Ignoring the imported trash, the national recovery potential of Sweden’s 4,3 million tonnes of trash would then be equal to 170-220 GWh/year due to non-recyclable metals, which are currently going to temporary landfills. The requirements to harness this potential are technically simple, and can be achieved by a quick separation of the recyclables and the non-recyclables. This report will review the factors which increase the rate of reaction and study different ways of extracting the energy, by electrolysis, thermal treatment and mechanical mixing. This was done by taking small samples from the MSWI, owned by Umeå Energi AB, and putting them in small containers. While using the different methods, electrolysis, thermal treatment and mechanichal mixing, the amount of developed H2 gas over time was measured. The result shows that the best methods are mechanical mixing together with thermal treatment, where mechanical mixing seems to give the biggest effect of them two. The electrolysis did not work as intended, where there could be issues with the conductivity of the ash-mixture
Many Paths to Heaven—A Comparison of Legal Education in Latin America and the United States
It has been said that man\u27s concepts of right and wrong and of justice are realized through his legal system; or to put it another way, that the law reflects the value judgments of the society in which it operates. More often than not, two societies will reflect two quite different images. The same can be said for legal education, another of the many mirrors in which societies can see themselves. To attempt to impose the forms and standards of one on another can obviously lead only to distortion. Unfortunately, this fact is apparently not so obvious to United States educators who continue to point superior fingers at the Latin American law schools. They are, according to these gentlemen, not up to standard. Specifically, they mean that (1) there are no admission standards, or tuition; (2) there is too much memorizing of codes, not enough training of the mind for analysis or an ability to think independently; (3) the students have too much power inside the universities, and are too involved in politics outside the universities; (4) both faculty and students are part-time; (5) facilities are inadequate —no libraries, no study rooms, et cetera; and (6) there is no academic community with which the student can identify
