The Reference number begins with the book code, followed by the page number. Request the book or photocopies you need through your home library’s interlibrary loan department. Tips on Name and Place Spellings Spellings are shown as they are in the books, even if they have changed over the years. The spellings of Swedish place names in these books were sometimes old spellings, phonetic, or even erroneous. Remember to look for Carlson starting with both “C” and “K.” “V” & “W” are also interchangeable, as are sometimes “S” and “Z.” Some parish names beginning with “V” used to start with a silent “H,” so you might find Vetlanda under Hvetlanda or even Hwetlanda. Swedish vowels å, ä, and ö fall at the end of the alphabet, but our database does not sort them that way, so look for your Åbergs with “A” instead of after “Z.” How to Search Use CTRL+F to search for specific text (Mac users use Apple+F). Or, use your "Page Down" key to browse all of the names. County or län Abbreviations These abbreviations are shown in parentheses after the Swedish birthplaces. A = City of Stockholm, B = Stockholms län (excludes the city), C = Uppsala län, D = Södermanlands län, E = östergötlands län, F = Jönköpings län, G = Kronobergs län, H = Kalmar län , I = Gotlands län, K = Blekinge län, L = Kristianstads län, M = Malmöhus län , N = Hallands län, O = Göteborgs och Bohus län, P = älvsborgs län, R = Skaraborgs län, S = Värmlands län, T = örebro län, U = Västmanlands län, W = Kopparbergs län, X = Gävleborgs län, Y = Västernorrlands län, Z = Jämtlands län, AC = Västerbottens län, BD = Norrbottens län, OA = Göteborg City For more Information: www.augustana.edu/swenson Name index to books on Swedes in Illinois Last Name First Name Birthdate Birthplace Residence City County State Reference Abrahamson Laurentius G 1856-03-02 Medåker (U) Rock Island Rock Island IL 102:029 Abrahamson Olof 107:011 Edgewater, Ackeburg J.

  • The (Over) Zealous Snow Remover Problem
    Department of Mathematics The (Over) Zealous Snow Remover Problem Kaj Holmberg LiTH-MAT-R--2016/04--SE Department of Mathematics Link¨oping University S-581 83 Link¨oping The (Over) Zealous Snow Remover Problem Kaj Holmberg Department of Mathematics Linköping Institute of Technology SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden April 12, 2016 Abstract: Planning snow removal is a difficult, infrequently occurring optimization problem, concerning complicated routing of vehicles. Clearing a street includes several different activities, and the tours must be allowed to contain subtours. The streets are classified into different types, each type requiring different activities. We address the problem facing a single vehicle, including details such as precedence requirements and turning penalties. We describe a solution approach based on a reformulation to an asymmetric traveling salesman problem in an extended graph, plus a heuristic for finding feasible solutions. The method have been implemented and tested on real life examples, and the solution times are short enough to allow online usage. We compare two different principles for the number of sweeps on a normal street, encountered in discussions with snow removal contractors. A principle using a first sweep in the middle of the street around the block, in order to quickly allow usage of the streets, is found to yield interesting theoretical and practical difficulties. 1 Introduction Snow removal is an important problem in northern countries. It seems that changes in the weather are becoming more significant, and the yearly amounts of snow in Sweden changes very much. This means that last year’s plan may not be suitable for this year.

  • Regional Implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive in the Baltic Sea Catchment
    "%2.%4#!4#( Network on the implementation of EU Water Framework Directive in the Baltic Sea Catchment BERNET (Baltic Eutrophication Regional Network) is a network cooperation between water managers in seven regions of the Baltic Sea Region. The network was founded in 1999 to help improve the aquatic environment in the BERNET CATCH Executive Summary: Baltic Sea region and of the regional waters in its catchment. Right from the start, BERNET has focused especially on Eutrophication problems. Doing this, the BERNET Partners have wished to contribute to full-fi lling the aim of the Helsinki Declaration in “assuring the ecological restoration of the Baltic Sea”. Regional Implementation of The present BERNET-CATCH project running for the period 2003-2006 focuses primarily on the regional implementation WestWest FinlandFinland of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD).

  • Baltic Towns030306
    The State and the Integration of the Towns of the Provinces of the Swedish Baltic Empire The Purpose of the Paper1 between 1561 and 1660, Sweden expanded Dalong the coasts of the Baltic Sea and throughout Scandinavia. Sweden became the dominant power in the Baltics and northern Europe, a position it would maintain until the early eighteenth century. At the same time, Swedish society was experiencing a profound transformation. Sweden developed into a typical European early modern power-state with a bureaucracy, a powerful mili- tary organization, and a peasantry bending under taxes and conscription. The kingdom of Sweden also changed from a self-contained country to an important member of the European economy. During this period the Swedish urban system developed as well. From being one of the least urbanized European countries with hardly more than 40 towns and an urbanization level of three to four per cent, Sweden doubled the number of towns and increased the urbanization level to almost ten per cent. The towns were also forced by the state into a staple-town system with differing roles in fo- reign and domestic trade, and the administrative and governing systems of the towns were reformed according to royal initiatives. In the conquered provinces a number of other towns now came under Swe- dish rule. These towns were treated in different ways by the state, as were the pro- vinces as a whole. While the former Danish and Norwegian towns were complete- ly incorporated into the Swedish nation, the German and most of the east Baltic towns were not.

    SWEDISH ECONOMIC POLICY REVIEW 9 (2002) 165-169 Comments on Søren Bo Nielsen, Poul Schou and Jacob Krog Søbygaard: Elements of income tax evasion and avoidance in Denmark Fredrik Andersson* The task of discussing a paper is, to some extent, facilitated, but also hampered, by really enjoying the paper and the work behind it. Such is the case with the paper by Nielsen, Schou and Søbygaard. The au- thors make a pertinent contribution to the discussion of tax evasion and tax avoidance. In more specific terms, they provide some general discussion and explore two issues quite thoroughly. First, they exploit the relationship between the tax base for income taxation and the tax base for consumption taxation in order to indirectly identify an an- ticipated shortfall in the tax base for income taxation. Their conclu- sion is that there is indeed such a shortfall in the range 1.8-3.6 per cent of GDP. Second, the authors explore migration out of and into Denmark in order to assess whether such migration threatens the per- sonal-income-tax base. They conclude that the evidence does not in- dicate the existence of a serious threat in this regard. The paper takes on important aspects of tax evasion and tax avoidance. The conclusions drawn are corroborated by solid empirical evidence, and as regards the basic analysis of the paper, I have found it very hard to mount any criticism. Nevertheless, I have some com- ments, and in the following, I will start by providing some general comments, and then proceed to painting a somewhat more pessimis- tic picture regarding the pressures likely to be exerted on the tax bases in Scandinavia by the mobility of skilled labour.

  • And Estonian Kalev
    Scandinavian Kalf and Estonian Kalev HILDEGARD MUST OLD ICELANDIC SAGAStell us about several prominent :men who bore the name Kalfr, Kalfr, etc.1 The Old Swedish form was written as Kalf or Kalv2 and was a fairly common name in Viking-age Scandinavia. An older form of the same name is probably kaulfR which is found on a runic stone (the Skarby stone). On the basis of this form it is believed that the name developed from an earlier *Kaoulfr which goes back to Proto-Norse *KapwulfaR. It is then a compound as are most of old Scandinavian anthroponyms. The second ele- ment of it is the native word for "wolf," ON"ulfr, OSw. ulv (cf. OE, OS wulf, OHG wolf, Goth. wulfs, from PGmc. *wulfaz). The first component, however, is most likely a name element borrowed from Celtic, cf. Old Irish cath "battle, fight." It is contained in the Old Irish name Cathal which occurred in Iceland also, viz. as Kaoall. The native Germ.anic equivalents of OIr. cath, which go back to PGmc. hapu-, also occurred in personal names (e.g., as a mono- thematic Old Norse divine name Hr;or), and the runic HapuwulfR, ON Hr;lfr and Halfr, OE Heaouwulf, OHG Haduwolf, Hadulf are exact Germanic correspondences of the hybrid Kalfr, Kalfr < *Kaoulfr. However, counterparts of the compound containing the Old Irish stem existed also in other Germanic languages: Oeadwulf in Old English, and Kathwulf in Old High German. 3 1 For the variants see E. H.
