Tidningsstatistik AB (TS) is the company which measures newspaper circulation in Sweden. TS started in 1937 as a section within Institutet för marknadsundersökningar (IMU, the institute for market research) and became an independent company in 1943. It used to be jointly owned by the advertising bureau association (Annonsbyråföreningen) and the Swedish newspaper publishers' association (Tidningsutgivarna, TU). In 1994 it was sold to Scribona, an office electronics redistributor, which was a recent spinn-off from the Esselte group. Scribona then acquired Sifo, merged TS into this, sold it to the British WPP Group, where it became SIFO Research International. The main offices for SIFO and TS remain in central Stockholm, at Vasagatan 11. TS is a member of the International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Circulations (IFABC). Swedish daily newspapers monitored by TS have a total circulation of 3.72 million copies (2008). Seven titles had a circulation of more than 100,000: Aftonbladet (377 thousand), Dagens Nyheter (339), Expressen (303, including Göteborgs-Tidningen and Kvällsposten), Göteborgs-Posten (243), Svenska Dagbladet (194), Sydsvenskan (124), and Dagens Industri (112). Swedish journals and magazines monitored by TS have a total circulation of 22.7 million copies (2008), including subscriptions, memberships, issues sold in stores, and free copies. The largest subscription magazines are ICA-kuriren (166 thousand subscriptions) and Hemmets Journal (162). Most copies sold in stores have Hänt Extra (104 thousand) and Se & Hör (66). Largest total circulations have Hemmets Journal (217 thousand) and Allers (216). However, these are dwarfed by titles like Kommunalarbetaren (555 thousand copies), a membership magazine for the trade union for municipal workers (Kommunalarbetareförbundet), and IKEA Family Live (738 thousand). TS also produces circulation statistics for advertising and free newspapers under the title Reklamstatistik (RS), with a combined circulation of 22.4 million copies, and for electronic newsletters and websites.

The Branting Monument is a monument in Stockholm, Sweden, with a statue of the Swedish Social Democratic leader Hjalmar Branting (1860 – 1925). The monument is 5 meters tall and 6 meters wide. The bronze relief monument, by artist Carl Eldh, is located in a small park at Norra Bantorget in Stockholm, which is the traditional Social Democratic grounds of the city. Eldh started working on the monument in 1926, one year after Branting had died, but it was erected only in 1952. The monument shows a prominent looking Branting addressing a group of workers on a May Day demonstration. Several of the worker movement's pioneers are found in the otherwise anonymous crowd of workers surrounding Branting, including Axel Danielsson and August Palm. On 17 May 1992, the monument was partly damaged when a small bomb exploded and blew up a hole in the belly of the Hjalmar Branting figure. This was the fourth in a series of five statue bombings in Stockholm that had begun on 25 February and ended on 8 June. A group of seven teenagers, six boys and one girl, were arrested a week later and confessed to the acts of vandalism. (The other statues were not political monuments, and no political motives were mentioned in the news reports.) The monument was restored two years later by the local company Herman Bergmans konstgjuteri AB, the foundry that had originally made it in the early 1950s. The restoration cost, 320,000 Swedish crowns, was shared by the City of Stockholm and the Stockholm section of the Swedish Trade Union Confederation.

Norra Bantorget ("Northern Railway Square") is an area in central Stockholm, named after the location where the first Stockholm North Station was built. It is the traditional Social Democratic grounds of the Swedish capital. It is the location of the LO headquarters, the Swedish Trade Union Confederation. At Norra Bantorget is also the Workers Movement's Archive and Library, and Folkets hus (where Russian social democrats held their Fourth Congress in 1906). There are several monuments of working class leaders erected at Norra Bantorget, including a statue of August Palm and the Branting Monument. A street in the area is named after Olof Palme. Norra Bantorget is a traditional gathering spot for demonstrations, such as the ones arranged by the Social Democrats on May Day. There is also a newly erected four-star Clarion hotel, Clarion Hotel Sign, located on the right side of the square as seen from the LO-building.

Norra Latin is the familiar Swedish name of a historic Stockholm school more properly known as Högre allmänna läroverket för gossar å Norrmalm ("public senior secondary school for boys at Norrmalm"). Completed in 1880, for over a hundred years the school, at 71b Drottninggatan in the Norrmalm district of Stockholm, offered an education that emphasized Greek, Latin and classical studies. The school was formed by a merger that included Klara gamla skola on Klara västra kyrkogata and Stockholms gymnasium on the island of Riddarholmen. Although a 1918 resolution declared that the school should be co-educational, girls were in fact not admitted until 1961. In the beginning of the 1980s the building was sold to Landsorganisationen i Sverige, the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, who renovated the building as a modern conference centre, opening in 1989.

Rosenkammaren (literally: 'The Rose Chamber') was a torture chamber in the prison Nya smedjegården in Stockholm. It consisted of a long room, flooded with knee deep water from a spring. The prisoners sentenced to be tortured were chained by a hook from the ceiling in the knee deep water, which was normally icy cold. On 27 September 1772, torture was abolished by Gustav III of Sweden, and the Rose Chamber, along with the other torture chamber in the capital, Tjuvakällaren in the Town Hall (active 1471-1772), was closed and its equipment destroyed.

Smedjegården (literally: "Blacksmiths' Yard"), initially Nya smedjegården ("New Blacksmiths' Yard"), was a prison in Stockholm, in use between 1636 and 1896. The name was derived from a prison, similarly known as Smedjegården, in the dungeons of the royal castle Tre Kronor, in use until the castle was destroyed by fire in 1697. There the prisoners were made to labor in the castle's smithy. The Nya smedjegården was founded in 1636 at the street Drottninggatan in Stockholm. From 1664 onward, it was the site for prisoners awaiting death penalty in Stockholm. The building housed also a house of correction, an infamous torture chamber (Rosenkammaren), until the abolition of torture in 1772, and an orphanage (Allmänna Barnhuset) until 1886. Until 1849, the prison was used for both male and female prisoners—normally not kept separate from each other. Then Smedjegården was transformed into a women's prison. The institution was replaced in the 1890s, and the building demolished. On the site, Stockholm's People's House was erected.

The Central Post Office Building (Swedish: Centralposthuset or Centralposten) is a historical building at 28-34 Vasagatan in central Stockholm, Sweden. Inaugurated in 1903 and designed by architect Ferdinand Boberg (1860–1945), the building was the headquarters of Posten (Swedish post services) until 2003. It is currently serving as offices for the Ministry of Enterprise and some functions of the Government Offices, after an extensive rebuild in April 2008.

The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (Swedish: Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF) is a Swedish independent research-funding foundation. Its objective is to "support research in natural science, engineering and medicine that strengthens Sweden’s competitiveness". It is located in the World Trade Center in Stockholm, Sweden.SSF was founded in 1994 by the Swedish government when the employee funds was discontinued under the Bildt Cabinet. When the Foundation was established in 1994 the government decided on a budget allocation of 6 billion. Almost 12 billion is distributed since then and in April 2014, the Foundation, thanks to good asset management and stock market growth, had a capital of about 11 billion. The funding of various projects by SSF in 2015 amounted to SEK 600,000,000.
