  • Web Appendix: Data
    Working Paper 2019:12 The Institute for Futures Studies Web appendix: Data Sampling In 2012, we created a complete roster of Swedish policy professionals. To do this, we started by selecting relevant organizational types. We then identified six “habitats” for policy professionals: government offices (Regeringskansliet), parliament (Riksdagen), trade unions, other major interest organizations, think tanks, and PR firms (lobbying firms). Note that this selection does not include in-house corporate lobbyists and representatives of smaller interest groups. Although they may be considered policy professionals for all intents and purposes, their organizations were deemed either too narrow or too perip- heral to warrant inclusion. In the second step, we catalogued all organizations of these six types (see Table 1 for a complete list). We started by surveying the member associations of LO, SACO, TCO, and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise – the three Swedish trade union federations and the main employers’ organization in the country. As for PR and lobbying firms, the trade association of the PR and communica- tions consultancy sector, PRECIS, publicly discloses its member companies.1 Last, we tracked down think tanks through extensive web searches. To ensure full coverage, we analysed participation at the Almedalen Week, an annual po- litical event which has become the most important public forum in Sweden. In 2012, close to a thousand organizations attended the Almedalen Week.2 This list of attendees served as a cross-check and revealed that no relevant organi- zation had been omitted. In the last step, we identified the policy professionals by accessing the websites of the organizations.

  • Borehole Dimension Impact on LHD Operation in Malmberget Mine
    Borehole Dimension Impact on LHD Operation in Malmberget Mine Markus Danielsson Civil Engineering, masters level 2016 Luleå University of Technology Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering Abstract Sublevel caving is a highly mechanizable mass mining method normally utilized in large, steeply dipping orebodies. The fragmented ore flows freely, aided by gravity, down to the drawpoint while the surrounding waste rock caves in due to induced stresses and gravity. Fragmentation of the blasted ore is a vital component in any mining operation and directly affects productivity and efficiency of the following production steps (Nielsen et. al, 1996). In an attempt to reduce mining induced seismicity in Malmberget, LKAB is initiating various trials. One of these trials involves a reduction in blasthole dimension and an increase in the number of blastholes utilized in each ring. A reduction in blasthole dimension is undertaken to achieve a less impactful mining operation in terms of disturbances to surface populated areas, particularly addressed to ground vibrations. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to analyse if fragmentation and production is affected as a consequence of this change. This thesis sets out to evaluate how fragmentation and the LHD operation is affected by variations in blasthole dimension. The evaluation is carried out through analysis of logged production data, on-site filming of the loading sequence and interviews with the LHD operators. The discoveries will be presented chronologically to illustrate the complexities related to compiling a viable dataset to rely on for a credible analysis. The initial theory did not hold up properly and therefore the project was reshaped along the course of progression to provide further information and clarify uncertainties.
