Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act
Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, a project prepared annually since 1983, is a survey of recent court decisions that interpret state versions of the Uniform Arbitration Act ( U.A.A. ). 3 Currently, thirty-four states and the District of Columbia have adopted arbitration statutes patterned after the U.A.A. 4 The purpose of this project is to promote uniformity in interpretation of the U.A.A. by explaining the underlying policies and rationales of recent court decisions.\u2
Youth Work for People and Planet: Integrating Insights from Ecopedagogy into Youth Work
Youth work is not unitary, has a diverse history, and draws upon differing traditions; however, the focus of all major youth work traditions has been anthropocentric. This approach is now challenged by young people themselves through the climate justice movement, and institutionally through the United Nations Agenda 2030 resolution, which has developed integrated Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to “balance” social, environmental, and economic imperatives. This article examines what insights can be gained from ecopedagogy that would enable youth work to fully integrate an ecological perspective alongside traditional anthropological concerns. The discussion focuses on the nexus and tensions between ecopedagogy and youth work from a theoretical perspective to draw out insights into how changes need to be made to the aims and purposes of youth work, how this might be achieved, and barriers in the current environmen

Talking about relational youth work: why language matters
The literature on youth work emphasises the importance of ‘relationship’ to good practice, moreover, the characteristics of the youth-work relationship have been posited as a defining feature of youth work in the British-influenced tradition. Despite this, little attention is paid to the choice of language used to describe how professional youth workers relate to young people, or how language choices reflect political framing of youth work and of power relationships within their practice. Language choice has implications for how youth workers perceive their professional identity, for how accountability is construed, and for inter-professional working. In this article we undertake a thematic analysis to identify, analyse and critique various language options, drawing on international literature, with an application focus on Irish and Australian contexts. We address the question, ‘what language choices offer most precision and clarity about youth work professional relationships in different contexts?’ We identify three main ways the relationship between youth workers and young people has been framed: as collaboration; as transaction; or, as rights-based entitlement. We conclude with discussion of how different relational language choices in youth work should be selected to be congruent with the youth work context, power relationships and purposes
Youth Work as Social Pedagogy: Toward an Understanding of Non-Formal and Informal Education and Learning in Youth Work
The Effect of Prior Exposures on the Notched Fatigue Behavior of Disk Superalloy ME3
Environmental attack has the potential to limit turbine disk durability, particularly in next generation engines which will run hotter; there is a need to understand better oxidation at potential service conditions and develop models that link microstructure to fatigue response. More efficient gas turbine engine designs will require higher operating temperatures. Turbine disks are regarded as critical flight safety components; a failure is a serious hazard. Low cycle fatigue is an important design criteria for turbine disks. Powder metallurgy alloys, like ME3, have led to major improvements in temperature performance through refractory additions (e.g. Mo,W) at the expense of environmental resistance (Al, Cr). Service conditions for aerospace disks can produce major cycle periods extending from minutes to hours and days with total service times exceeding 1,000 hours in aerospace applications. Some of the effects of service can be captured by extended exposures at elevated temperature prior to LCF testing. Some details of the work presented here have been published
