Målet med denna uppsats är att se vilka författningar som gör sig gällande vid planering, byggande och drift av en vägtunnel, främst med avseende på samråd men även brand och personsäkerhet. Processen kring att planera en tunnel är väl reglerad och innefattar många lagar. Väglagen (1971:948) reglerar om planprocessen, när de olika stegen ska utföras, vad de ska innehålla samt när och med vilka samråd ska ske. Miljöbalken (1998:808) reglerar främst att en miljökonsekvensbeskrivning ska utföras och godkännas, men innehåller även generella regler om förebyggande skyddsåtgärder. Plan- och bygglagen (1987:10) görs också gällande vid planeringen av en vägtunnel med avseende på detaljplaner och Länsstyrelsens tillsyn över plan- och byggnadsväsendet i länet.

Back in the 1950s Marilyn Monroe and her hourglass shaped body was the aesthetic ideal for how models were to look like. Nowadays, the tide has turned. Research has shown that female models are becoming increasingly taller, narrower and straighter. This trend has occurred despite the fact that both men and women (still) prefer medium sized women with curvy bodies. This essay examines if this trend can be justified from a marketer's perspective.

Effekter av samhällets säkerhetsarbete (ESS) är ett femårigt projekt som finansieras av myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap. Denna rapport är en delstudie inom ESS och behandlar frågeställningar inom delområdet deponiolyckor med fokus avseende brand.Arbetets mål är att redovisa vilka förutsättningar och förhållanden som är vanliga före, under samt efter bränder på deponier, att identifiera svaga länkar och förbättringspotentialer i det förebyggande brandskyddsarbetet, samt att lämna förslag till förbättringar inom området.För att kunna nå upp till målen har författarna genomfört litteraturstudier och tre fallstudier, i form av platsbesök och intervjuer, av deponianläggningar som har varit drabbade av brand. Vid urvalsprocessen av vilka anläggningar som skulle studeras ställdes två kriterier upp. Dessa var att branden inte var äldre än två år och att omfattningen varit betydande. Efter urvalsprocessen fastslogs att fallstudier skulle ske på Storskogens avfallsanläggning i Oskarshamn, Heljestorp avfallsanläggning i Vänersborg och Häringetorp avfallsanläggning i Växjö.De slutsatser som har dragits är att bränder på deponianläggningar är något som sker relativt ofta i Sverige idag och dessa leder till att en mängd miljö- och hälsoskadliga ämnen bildas.Nivån på det skadeförebyggande och skadebegränsande arbetet med avseende på brand skiljer sig åt mellan de tre studerade anläggningarna.

Theory has concluded that consumers evaluate advertising not only based on what the advertiser's message aims to communicate, but also how the message is communicated. As the most popular activity on the world's largest social media channels is to upload and share photos, it has become crucial for advertisers to define strategies that maximize the reach of photo posts. Two observed variations of images used in posts are graphical images and digital photographs. The aim of this study is to investigate which of these two strategies that generate most positive impact on the sender and its brand. 230 users of the Chinese Facebook and Twitter counterpart, Sina Weibo, were exposed to manipulated Sina Weibo posts after which they answered a survey.
