Den här rapporten ingår i en undersökning i syfte att optimera förstärkningsåtgärder för huvudrampen vid J-området i Kristinebergsgruvan. J-området karakteriseras av höga spänningar på grund av stort djup, bitvis mycket dåliga bergförhållanden samt en komplicerad geologi. Ökande metallpriser har gjort att brytningsvärd malm nu finns betydligt närmare huvudrampen än när denna designades. I dagsläget uppvisar huvudrampen och lokala ramper tecken på skador och brott i förstärkningen vilket leder till kostsamma omförstärkningsåtgärder. Målet med denna rapport är att undersöka rörelsezonens omfattning runt huvudrampen i Kristinebergsgruvans J-område.

Uppsatsen har ett undersökande syfte där tillämpningen av ?Lagen om offentlig upphandling av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader? (LOU, 2007:1091) och ?Lagen om offentlig upphandling inom området vatten, energi, transporter och posttjänster? (LUF 2007:1092) undersöks med utgångspunkt i en decentraliserad kommunal organisation. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om regelverkets utformning och tillämpning påverkar kommunerna i en riktning mot ett ökat tjänstemannainflytande under upphandlingsprocessen. Maktförhållandet mellan tjänstemännen och lokalpolitikerna under upphandlingsprocessen är det förhållande som särskilt undersöks. Detta för att kunna förstå hur den moderna kommunala organisationen har kommit att utvecklas, i en tid då allt fler kommunala förvaltningsområden upphandlas.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how students in a Swedishjunior high school (grade 7-9) view their possibility to participate in thecollection management of their school library, and how the schoollibrary works to involve the students when purchasing media. The studyhas resulted in a model for easy and effective involvement of studentsin the collection development.To achieve this aim both quantitative and qualitative methods are used.A survey in three classes in the school, observations at the schoollibrary and a qualitative interview with the library assistant have beenperformed. The collection management at the school library isdescribed using the School Library Taxonomies developed by DavidLoertscher and two models for participation developed by Roger A Hartand Harry Shier. In the survey, the students are asked about their libraryand reading habits, their perception of their own participation in thecollection management of the library and their opinions of theimportance of student participation in the library.The results show that all students view the possibility of participation as something important, but not all of the students are willing to be active themselves. The proposed model for effective involvement of students in the library focuses on simplicity, voluntariness, distinct information and visible results..

De allmänna näringsrekommendationerna, bland annat Svenska näringsrekommendationer 2005, som används inom folkhälsoarbete i Sverige idag är framtagna utifrån vetenskaplig forskning genom ett kontinuerligt samarbete mellan olika länder. Livsmedelsverket är en statlig myndighet som arbetar med att ta fram och förmedla kostråd till Sveriges befolkning. Forskare och myndigheter har ett visst ansvar att sprida korrekt kunskap och information om kost och hälsa. Det är däremot vanligt att massmedia ifrågasätter och omkullkastar de re-kommendationer som myndigheter har arbetat fram. I massmedia är det populärt att framställa olika kosthållningar som mirakeldieter för att uppnå snabb viktnedgång.
