The contribution of ill-health to labour market participation in relation to vocational training is unclear. Using nationally representative Finnish register data on 42,691 vocational labour market trainees in 2008–2010, we constructed latent trajectory groups of work participation in the open labour market three years before and after training, identifying groups called “High–High”, “High–Low”, “Low–High”, and “Low–Low”. We plotted further patterns of labour market participation within these trajectory groups and, using multinomial logistic regression, examined assignment to these groups focusing on previous work disability status. Those with compared to those without previous work disability had previous employment more often and spent less time in economic inactivity within the two trajectory groups with low pre-training levels of work participation. Having a previous work disability was associated with assignment to the “High–Low” trajectory group of work participation instead of the “High–High” comparison group. The associations of other background factors with the assignment to the different trajectory groups were relatively similar amongst those with and without previous work disability. However, some of these associations were weaker amongst the former. Along with other key background factors, previous work disability should be accounted for when assessing the effects of vocational training.

Emfit Ltd is manufacturer of electro-responsive ferroelectret sensors. These film-like sensors can be used for various applications, for example non-body-contact vitals signs monitoring, dementia care, actigraphs, visitor count and keypads. The sensor material is based on a polyolefin material manufactured in a continuous biaxial orientation process that stretches the film in two perpendicular directions (machine direction and the transverse direction). The biaxially stretched material is further expanded to over double of its original thickness in high-pressure gas-diffusion process. The structure of Emfit material consists of flat voids separated by thin polyolefin layers. The voids are made by compounding small particles that function as rupture nuclei, and form closed lens like cavities to the film during the biaxial orientation. A permanent electric charge is injected into the material using a corona charging process. The voided internal structure makes the film soft and elastic in the thickness direction. This means that the voids expand and contract in relation to the orientation of the film. The excellent sensor and actuator operations of Emfit film are based on the fact that reduction in the thickness of the film caused by an external force takes place in the gas voids and these are much softer than the polymer layers.
Every scholar of early Christian thought will discover a great deal of variety and change, and many traces of conflict, in her or his sources (see e.g. Dunn 1990). On a smaller scale, similar features are observed by scholars of the Qur'an, my second area of interest (cf. Räisänen 1997, 125-130 on the phenomenon of "abrogation" within the Qur'an). In both cases one is faced with vivid processes of evolving thought. Ninian Smart has stressed that "there is a dialectic between experience and doctrine" (Smart 1971: 24). Yet this aspect of religion may not always receive as much attention as it deserves in the science of religion. A recent survey observes that, in general, the "mutable, processive character of a religion's ongoing life has tended to be overlooked by comparative religionists almost as much as it will probably be denied by the devotees of a tradition." (Lott 1988: 31.) The role of conflict in particular probably tends to be underestimated.Both in trying to work out a history-of-religion account of early Christian thought' (see Räisänen 1990), and in trying to understand the Qur'an with empathy (Räisänen 1971; Räisänen 1997: 81-136), I have often found it useful to envisage religious thought in terms of a dialectic between tradition, experience and interpretation (Räisänen 1990: 122-136). This means that religious thought develops in a process in which traditions are time and again interpreted in the light of new experiences, and vice versa: experiences are interpreted in the light of traditions. In other words, elements of the tradition are reinterpreted, but this happens in the framework of the very tradi-The choice of religious thought as my topic does not imply that I regard the cognitive aspect of religion as the most important one; only that it is important enough to deserve attention in its own right.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
