Slow walking speed and health-related exit from employment among older workers over 5 years of follow-up: evidence from the Health and Employment After Fifty (HEAF) cohort study by Karen Walker-Bone, Holly E Syddall, Stefania D'Angelo, Elena Zaballa, G Ntani, Gregorio Bevilacqua

“…Jobs that are very physically demanding are likely to be more difficult to sustain at older ages. If workers at risk of mismatch of demand and capability could be identified early, there would be opportunities for intervention for health or lifestyle and/or re-training or redeployment.Objective To investigate whether self-reported walking speed (a good measure of function in elderly people) predicted health-related job loss (HRJL) longitudinally over 5 years of follow-up among middle-aged workers.Design Data came from the Health and Employment After Fifty (HEAF) prospective cohort study of middle-aged people (aged 50–64 years) in UK.Setting General population survey (sampling frame was 24 General Practice registers).Participants The cohort included 8134 people recruited in 2013–2014. …”

Tensioned Multi-View Ordered Kernel Subspace Clustering by Liping Chen, Gongde Guo

“…Current multi-view clustering methods always try to compensate for the missing information in the original domain, which is limited by the linear representation function. Even more, their clustering structures across views are not sufficiently considered, which leads to suboptimal results. …”

Depicting handshapes for animate referents in Swedish Sign Language by Simper-Allen Pia, Börstell Carl

“…The findings suggest that the event type, textual context and animacy of the depicted referent influence the choice between the 1- vs 2-handshape categories in STS, and that the 2-handshape category is used far more often than the former in our data. Furthermore, some of the analysed signs seem to have a limited depicting function in certain uses, suggesting possible grammaticalisation into a general [motion + VERB] construction, expressing an action being carried out at another location. …”
