Lessons from the Swedish Land Data Bank System

Abstract In 1985 the Victorian Government contracted consultants from the Swedish Central Board for Real Estate Data to assist in a study into the development of the Victorian land information system (LIS) with emphasis on the development and role of an automated land titles system within the LIS. This paper suggests it is beneficial for Victoria to have a broad understanding of the Swedish system in order to put any recommendations in perspective. As a consequence the paper reviews the Swedish cadastral and land information system and highlights lessons and issues derived from the Swedish system which may benefit the development of land information systems in Victoria as well as other jurisdictions in Australia.

The Swedish Land Data Bank

Abstract The Swedish Land Data Bank System has been developed in order to rationalize handling of data on real properties and land. The system replaces earlier manual systems for property and land registration. It interacts regularly with other EDP-based information systems and serves as a land information system (LIS) in a broad sense. The system is being steadily extended to cover all parts of the country. The costs for design, implementation and maintenance of the system are covered by reductions of costs for property and land registration.

Family Factors Affecting the Intergenerational Succession to Farming

Farming has historically been dependent upon farmers' sons to maintain the occupation; the major succession mechanism being some form of father and son joint operation. This paper, using data drawn from field studies in two Illinois farm communities of Swedish and Yankee origin, compares such farming teams to show how family concerns create differing social contexts for the intergenerational succession process. Parental commitment to continuity and socialization that creates sibling cooperation relate to why Swedish succession unfolds in a context of intergenerational harmony and cross-generational acrimony, while the Yankee succession process is the reverse. Short-term outcomes of family norms were apparent in operation features, but the long-term continuity effects are of more consequence. Swedish land ownership has been relatively stable while Yankee ownership has fluctuated, and absentee owners control a greater proportion of community land. Succession patterns brought into relief, because ethnic beli...

The healing process of anastomoses of the colon

In spite of modern suture materials and different techniques in colonic anastomoses after resection, leakage is still the most feared complication in colonic surgery. In female pigs of Swedish land breed, standardized 5-cm long colonic resection was performed 10 cm above the peritoneal deflection, using either a single layer of Gambee-stitches (n = 6, Vicryl 4-0), two-layer interrupted stitches (n = 6, Vicryl 4-0) or the intraluminal stapling device (n = 6, ILS Ethicon). After one week, the animals were sacrificed and an anastomotic index was calculated using in vitro x-ray. Also, anastomotic circulation (calculated by the microsphere technique), breaking strength, and histologic evaluation were performed. All animals survived and no leakage was observed. The time to perform the anastomosis was significantly shorter (P less than 0.05) for the stapling device compared with the manual techniques used. The anastomotic index was lower (P less than 0.05) for two rows (0.24) compared with Gambee-stitches (0.38) or stapler anastomoses (0.37). There were no differences in blood flow among the three groups and no differences in breaking strength. Macroscopic investigation revealed mucosal defects in two of the stapled anastomoses and histologic investigation showed small areas of necrosis. The stapling device did not induce any inflammatory reaction. On the other hand, a severe inflammatory reaction was seen when using conventional suture materials. In conclusion, this study shows that a single row of Gambee-stitches is equal to the ILS stapling device when performing colonic anastomoses and these two methods seem to be superior to the two-layer technique.

Swedish royal land registers

Abstract ‘So that His Grace may be apprised of the total amount of Crown rents, all feoffees and bailiffs should be required to list all taxes payable to the Crown in their fiefs and districts, both in money and in goods. In addition, the number of freehold farmers and persons living on Crown land in each country and bailiwick should be listed, as well as the peasants of the nobility in each such region, so that the total revenue may be calculated.’ (p. 10). These proposals were put forward by Gustav I to the meeting of the gentry at Vadstena in 1524 and may be said to form the basis of the system of comprehensive land registers which developed during his reign. Starting in the early 1540s he made a complete inventory of the country's settlements, farm by farm, the result giving him an entirely different picture of the foundation on which the Crown's taxes rested from that of his predecessors. Most of the series of annual land registers which started then, and continued right into the twentieth century, h...

GEODETIC CONTROL SURVEYING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GEODIMETER AGA NASM 4, AT THE SWEDISH CADASTRAL AND LAND SURVEY ORGANIZATION

The early control surveys on which Swedish cadastre was based are being replaced by more modern systems. A first-order triangulation net, local nets, vertical control, surveying methods and results obtained by Swedish cadastral and land survey organizations are briefly discussed.

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY

In the words of its retiring President, Mr. P. Mogensen, the VIIIth International Congress of Photogrammetry has now passed into history. For those who attended, about six hundred and fifty participants and about two hundred ladies representing 42 different countries, this Congress was most enjoyable and unforgettable. Our Swedish hosts went to prodigious lengths to ensure not only that everything was smooth running and efficient from the technical point of view, but also to provide for the entertainment of all. Nearly every day there was a sightseeing tour for the ladies—Stockholm has much of interest and beauty to show visitors in the summer—and there were technical tours to such diverse places as Esselte, which is a large commercial map printing organization, the Swedish Land Survey Board, the Geographical Survey Office, the City Surveyor's Office, and the Royal Institute of Technology (Divisions of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, the Board for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Optical Research). Whole day visits were made to the air base of the Geographical Survey Office, the Royal Observatory and Uppsala University, the latter being one of the oldest in Europe; in addition, tours up-country lasting several days were organized for those who could afford the time after the Congress had finished. Finally, in the evenings and over the week-end, our hosts had arranged a reception party, a midnight concert, a grand banquet in Stockholm's famous City Hall, a boat trip in the archipelago and a visit to Drottningholm Palace, with an open air performance of an “Opera Comique” in its famous ancient theatre. When one adds that there were some three hundred technical papers, many technical films and an absolutely first-class exhibition of photogrammetric instruments, not to mention other evening entertainment, it may be seen that no little stamina was required of the participants. The gale of July 29th provided a most undignified anti-climax to those who, like your reporter, had the misfortune to be caught in the North Sea at the time.
