Qualified Vocational Education beyond 2000 - a report from a pilot project in Sweden

- A new form of qualified vocational education (QVE) was introduced as a pilot project in Sweden. QVE is a ew form of post-secondary education, long equested by industry. In QVE, onethird of instructional time is advanced pplication of theoretical knowledge at a workplace. This article reports on the evaluation of the pilot project and suggests that QVE has been successful. It goes on to discuss four options for continuing QVE in Sweden - but the choice belongs to the political process.

HLA in coeliac disease families: a novel test of risk modification by the 'other' haplotype when at least one DQA1*05-DQB1*02 haplotype is carried.

- Predisposition to coeliac disease (CD) involves HLA genes. We investigated whether any haplotypes modify risk when carried trans to a known high-risk haplotype, DQA1*05-DQB1*02. Earlier attempts to rank levels of risk contributed by the 'other' haplotype were burdened by use of case-control populations; haplotype frequencies were estimated and homozygosity was only presumed. In contrast, exact haplotypes can be determined and allele transmission can be traced in families. A similar study in narcolepsy reported strata of different degrees of predisposition, attributable to the 'other' haplotype. A gene dosage effect similar to that described for DQB1*02 in CD, has also been reported in narcolepsy. We genotyped 439 simplex/multiplex trios for DQA1 and DQB1. We designed a new statistic to test risk modulation by the trans haplotype, even if the affected offspring was homozygous. We tested for significant deviation in transmission of the 'other' haplotype, i.e., modification of DQA1*05-DQB1*02 risk. We also addressed the proposed difference in risk, between DQA1*05-DQB1*02 homozygotes and DQA1*05-DQB1*02/DQA1*0201-DQB1*02 heterozygotes, reported in Southern Europe. We confirmed a DQB1*02 gene dosage effect. However, no haplotypes were found to modify risk when carried trans to DQA1*05-DQB1*02, except DQA1*05-DQB1*02 and DQA1*0201-DQB1*02 which were already known. We did not find credible evidence for a difference in risk conferred by DQA1*05-DQB1*02 and DQA1*0201-DQB1*02, when carried with DQA1*05-DQB1*02. The new test, which directly inspects haplotype transmissions rather than estimated haplotype frequencies, was used to demonstrate that the 'other' haplotype (except DQA1*05-DQB1*02 and DQA1*0201-DQB1*02) does not modify risk conferred by DQA1*05-DQB1*02. The test is applicable to other diseases.

Building bridges between school and working life : a study of the approaches adopted by schools to create beneficial preconditions for young people’s entry into adult life and the working environment

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The labour market of today requires higher formal qualifications and broader knowledge, resulting in a greater risk of unemployment, especially among young people. For young people, unemployment can mean a threat to their personal values, such as the gaining of adult status. Schools are criticised for being detached from reality and for not being able to develop the knowledge and qualifications that working life demands. The purpose of this case study is to examine how schools with vocational training programmes organise their work in order, on the one hand, to impart the knowledge that modern working life demands and, on the other hand, to introduce young adolescents to adult life and the working environment.
