Report of Governor Johan Rising, 1655, on New Sweden
No full textGovernor Johan Rising reports to the Swedish government and royalty on the status of New Sweden (present-day New Jersey). He also reports on other Swedish colonies in the area. He asks that single women and skilled tradesmen be sent to the colonies. Rising also reports that attacks from neighboring Indian tribes are increasing. He has found some protection by forming an alliance with English settlers, but the cost is high, and his colony owes the English money and supplies. Rising asks that Sweden send them money so that they can pay off their debts, build ships that would establish a trading dominance with the West Indies, and cultivate land and crops to gain more profit. Reports from New World governors were sent back to their native countries via ships. Rising sent this report in June of 1655, but Sweden did not recieve the report until November of 1655.

Report of Governor Johan Printz, 1647, on New Sweden
No full textGovern Johan Printz, the governor of New Sweden (later to become New Jersey), reports on the status of the colony and the settlers. Many freemen have arrived to settle in New Sweden, but the criminals and military men who were conscripted to the colony want to return to Sweden. Of the freemen, very few are skilled, so Governor Printz asks that blacksmiths, tanners, tailors, carpenters, and butchers be sent to the colony. Additionally, he asks for single women. Printz also reports on two new Swedish colonies that have been established along the Delaware River. However, Dutch settlers have become very aggressive by re-purchasing land from the Indians that the Swedish had already bought. They are also interrupting trade between the Swedes and the Indians, as well as instigating the Indians to attack the Swedes. Printz directed the construction of some storage houses along common trade routes to win back trade from the Indians. However, fighting has erupted between different Native tribes as each tries to establish dominance in trading with the colonies.

Relation of the surrender of New Sweden, by Governor Johan Clason Rising, 1655
No full textGovernor Johan Rising of New Sweden reports to Sweden on the August 1655 Dutch attack on New Sweden's Fort Christina. The Dutch traveled from New Amsterdam (present-day New York) and easily captured a New Sweden outpost. Rising sent men to the outpost to fend of the Dutch, but the Dutch defeated them and took them as prisoners, leaving Fort Christina without fighting men and supplies. The Dutch then put the Fort under seige. A few days later, Rising surrendered the Fort. He and the Swedish colonists were ordered to either return to Sweden, or to remain in the New World in service to the Dutch.

Real estate firms and their cash flows
No full textNivå: C-uppsats inom företagsekonomi Datum: Juni, 2015 Författare: Johan Magnusson och Alexander Smith Handledare: Hans Lindkvist Titel: Fastighetsbolag och deras kassaflöden. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om vi kan utläsa de fria kassaflödena hos fastighetsbolagen samt försöka skapa en bild över hur fastighetsbolagens årsredovisningar skiljer sig åt rörande benämningen och redovisningen av kostnader. Metod: Som källor till vår empiriska undersökning använde vi oss av de utvalda företagens årsredovisningar från 2014. Företags årsredovisningar betraktas som primära källor. Vår referensram och redovisning av tidigare forskning består till stor del av sekundära källor. Undersökningen är kvantitativ med kvalitativa inslag, då vi kompletterat undersökningen med mejlkorrespondens med de berörda företagen. Genomgången av årsredovisningar som vi genomfört med den framtagna checklistan är kvantitativ medan intervjuerna med bolagsrepresentanter är av kvalitativ karaktär. Resultat och slutsats: Resultaten av vår undersökning visar att det inte går att utläsa fria kassaflöden utefter den definition vi landar i. Den stärker även tidigare forskning som har konkluderat att även om alla fastighetsbolag på Stockholmsbörsen lyder under samma regelverk finns det möjlighet för de att redovisa på olika sätt. Förslag till vidare forskning: Det skulle vara intressant om liknande studier genomfördes på andra branscher inom Stockholmsbörsen, Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. Även studier som undersöker fastighetsbolag i andra delar av världen som tillämpar IFRS vore intressant. Nyckelord: IFRS, fastigheter, förvaltning, förvaltningsfastigheter, redovisning, externredovisning, kassaflöden, fritt kassaflöde Level: Bachelor´s thesis for business degree Date: June, 2015 Authors: Johan Magnusson and Alexander Smith Supervisor: Hans Lindkvist Title: Real estate firms and their cash flows. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether or not we can deduce the free cash flows of real estate companies. We also aim to try to create a picture of how property companies' annual reports differ on the labeling and presentation of costs. Method: As the sources fof our empirical study, we used the selected companies' annual reports from 2014. These corporate statements are regarded as primary sources. Our frame of reference consists largely of secondary sources. The study is quantitative with qualitative elements, as we supplemented the survey by e-mail correspondence with the companies in question. The review of financial statements that we have completed with the check list is quantitative, while interviews with company representatives are qualitative in nature. Results and conclusions: The results of our study show that it is not possible to identify the free cash flows of the selected real estate companies. It also reinforces previous research that has concluded that even if all the property companies on the Stockholm Stock Exchange are subject to the same regulations there are opportunities for them to present their results in different ways. Suggestions for further research: It would be interesting if similar studies were conducted in other sectors of the Stockholm Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. Although studies examining real estate in other countries that apply IFRS would be interesting. Keywords: IFRS, real estate, management, real estate management, accounting, financial accounting, cash flow, free cash flow

Design and configuration of neuro mechanical networks
No full textNeuro mechanical network (NMN) is a new concept of adaptronic character. The governing idea is to include geometry, topology, load carrying, energy transfer, actuating, sensing and control of a machine in one single mathematical state model and, thereby, enable a formulation of the design and configuration problem as an optimization problem. We have focused our attention on a type of NMN consisting of what we call active trusses. For these, we have established a state model and given a design optimization problem from which we have obtained numerical solutions. These solutions show that the approach has the possibility to suggest new families of designs that are superior to those of classical passive trusses. We also indicate how activation may result in singularities, the treatment of which is, so far, essentially an open problem.The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com: Johan Magnusson, Anders Klarbring and Magnus Sethson , Design and configuration of neuro mechanical networks, 2009, STRUCTURAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY OPTIMIZATION, (37), 4, 335-350. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-008-0241-8 Copyright: Springer Science Business Media http://www.springerlink.com/</p
