  • Swedish Disarmament Policy During the Cold War
    Swedish Disarmament Policy during the Cold War Conference Report, 26 November 2012, Stockholm, Sweden Editors: Thomas Jonter, Professor of International Relations, and Emma Rosengren, PhD Candidate, Department of Economic History, Stockholm University Foreword Ever since Sweden got engaged in the process leading up to the creation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968, Sweden has been an important player in the international game of disarmament. With committed politicians, skilled diplomats, technical competence and high ambitions, Sweden has become known as an important contributor in international disarmament and arms control efforts. Still, little academic attention has been paid to this field of research. Therefore, the Department of Economic History at Stockholm University invited academics, diplomats and civil society representatives to a conference in 2011, to initiate a broader research project on Sweden’s engagement in international disarmament diplomacy during the cold war. The issue of Swedish disarmament involvement needs to be further explored. Therefore, the Department of Economic History, in cooperation with the Swedish Physicians against Nuclear Weapons, the Swedish Affiliate of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), held a second conference on the 26th of November 2012, this time addressing academics. The Swedish Physicians against Nuclear Weapons funded the conference. The conference served to lay the basis for a joint research project on Swedish disarmament policy and included presentations on three themes: Historical; Theoretical; and Comparative perspectives on disarmament. Dr. Hans Blix, Director- General Emeritus of the IAEA and the Executive Chairman of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) for Iraq between 2000 and 2003, and chair of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (WMDC) and Robert Kelley, Associate Senior Researcher at SIPRI and former Director of nuclear inspections in Iraq, 1992 and 2001, also addressed the conference with keynote speeches.

  • ANNUAL REPORTS the Honorary Auditor's Financial Report
    ANNUAL REPORTS The Honorary Auditor's Financial Report December 31, 1980 and 1979 We have examined the statements of assets and liabilities of the Siam Society (Under Royal Patronage) as at December 31, 1980 and 1979 and the related statements of revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The accounts of the Society are maintained and the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the cash basis, with adjustments to give effect to unsold publications, dues collected in advance and inclusion of provision for deprecia­ tion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, on the basis indicated in the preceding paragraph, the assets and liabilities of the Siam Society (Under Royal Patronage) at December 31, 1980 and 1979 and its revenues and expenses for the years then ended, applied on a consistent basis. YUKTA NA THALANG C.P.A. (THAILAND) Registration No. 1 February 26, 1981 THE SIAM SOCIETY NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1980 AND 1979 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The Society has adopted the practice of recording donated properties at nominal values. Because of the nature of the Society's activities, it has not put emphasis on establishing the current values of these properties. In the past, the Society had obtained a valuation for its land which was quoted at Baht 7.2 million. Furniture, fixtures and office equipment are being depreciated by the declining balance method; whereby the depreciation rate of 10% - 20% are being applied on the net book value at the beginning of each year, while the transportation equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method of five years.

  • Statens Konstsamlingars Tillväxt Och Förvaltning 1975
    STATENS KONSTSAMLINGARS TILLVÄXT OCH FÖRVALTNING 1975 MEDDELANDEN FRÅN NATIONALMUSEUM Nr 100 STATENS KONSTSAMLINGARS TILLVÄXT OCH FÖRVALTNING 1975 Berättelse avgiven av överintendenten och chefen för NATIONALMUSEUM MEDDELANDEN FRÅN NATIONALMUSEUM Nr 100 Dirk Bouts: Kristus. Fragment av större målning. Inköpt med bidrag från Föreningen Nationalmusei Vänner Till REGERINGEN Utbildnings dep ar tementet Meddelanden från Nationalmuseum för 1975 är de hundrade i ordningen, vilket inte innebär att de första gången utkom 1876 och att vi sålunda skulle fira ett hundraårsjubileum. Till att börja med utkom de nämligen några gånger med två häften per år. Begynnelseåret är 1881. Under hela tiden har de handlat om statens konstsamlingars tillväxt och förvaltning. Emellanåt har särskilda uppsatser fogats till redogörelserna. En förteckning över dessa bifogas innevarande årgång. Det pågående återställandet av nationalmuseibyggnadens inre har tills vidare bragts till en avslutning i och med att den övre trapphallen i likhet med en del andra rum på första och andra våningen återfått sin ursprungliga röda färg. Meningarna om väggfärgen som bakgrund för målningar har varit delade, medan enighet rått om att den varit till fördel för rummens arkitek­ tur, inte minst för de kolonner som utgör ett så viktigt inslag i kupolsalen och den övre trapphallen. Moderna museet återinvigdes den 8 november efter den genomgripande om- och tillbyggnad som utförts med ledning av arkitekten Per Olof Olssons ritningar. Moderna museet har därigenom fått dubbelt så stort utrymme. Moderna museet hölls sålunda stängt allra största delen av året och hann därför inte med några större utställningar. Däremot gästade dess samlingar Liljevalchs konsthall och två institutioner i Danmark, Louisiana och Nordjyl- lands Museum.

  • Berrdg 1964___Rber__01
    BERÄTTELSE till 1964 års riksdag om vad i rikets styrelse sig tilldragit; given Stockholms slott den 3 januari 1964. En ingående redogörelse för de förhållanden som sammanhänger med den ekonomiska utvecklingen lämnas vid anmälan av finansplanen och na- tionalbudgeten i 1964 års statsverksproposition, till vilken torde få hän­ visas i den mån särskilda uppgifter därom ej lämnas i det följande. Vid ingången av 1963 präglades arbetsmarknadsläget alltjämt av den konjunkturdämpning som inträtt under år 1962. Under våren och somma­ ren skedde emellertid en snabb återhämtning. För att förebygga en allt för hög efterfrågan på arbetskraft inom byggnadsverksamheten sommaren 1964 har olika åtgärder vidtagits i syfte att förskjuta en del byggnadsarbeten framåt i tiden. Liksom tidigare år har det rått betydande skillnader i sysselsättningsläget mellan olika landsdelar framför allt mellan de utpräglade skogsbygderna och övriga delar av landet. Genom omskolning och andra åtgärder har det varit möjligt att överföra ett relativt stort antal arbetare från överskotts­ tid underskottsområden. En intensifierad verksamhet har även bedrivits för att tillföra utflyttningsområdena nya arbetstillfällen. Bostadsbyggandet har under år 1963 legat på en högre nivå än något år tidigare. Antalet färdigställda lägenheter beräknas ha uppgått till drygt 80 000. Någon lättnad i bostadsbristen synes dock ej ha inträtt i de orter där underskottet på bostadslägenheter varit mest påtagligt. Beslut har fattats om införande av högertrafik år 1967. Administrationen av trafikomläggningen har anförtrotts åt ett särskilt organ, statens höger­ trafikkommission. Beslut har fattats om obligatorisk säkerhetsinspektion av motorfordon 1'r. o. m. den 1 januari 1965. Nya riktlinjer för den statliga trafikpolitiken har antagits. Under det gångna året har lag om allmän försäkring trätt i kraft.
