Abstract:
Pemajakan Borneo Utara kepada pihak American Trading Company (ATC) oleh Sultan Brunei telah merintis pertapakan satu koloni merkantilisme. Makalah ini akan membincangkan tentang status pemajakan wilayah di Borneo Utara oleh ATC dan seterusnya lebih banyak pemajakan dan penyerahan wilayah di Borneo Utara telah dilakukan oleh kuasa luar. Pemajakan yang dilakukan oleh Charles Lee Moses adalah penting kepada kewujudan hubungan simbiotik antara ATC dan British North Borneo (Chartered) Company (BNBC). Perkara ini telah memberikan impak yang besar terhadap transformasi masyarakat di Borneo Utara. Kelemahan perjanjian pemajakan yang dimeterai oleh Sultan Brunei dan Moses telah membuka keterikatannya terhadap pengawasan pihak ATC yang terlalu bersikap pragmatik sehingga membolehkan wakilnya membuat sebarang bentuk perjanjian dan konsulat di wilayah perdagangan mereka. Penulisan ini menghuraikan beberapa perkara berkaitan dengan hubungan diplomatik, perdagangan dan keselamatan yang menjadi punca kepada berlakunya perubahan status pemajakan dan penyerahan wilayah di Borneo Utara kepada pihak BNBC yang diwakili oleh Baron Von Overbeck dan Alfred Dent.The North Borneo lease to the American Trading Company (ATC) by the Sultan of Brunei has pioneered the establishment of a colony of mercantilism. This paper will discuss the status of regional leasing in North Borneo by ATC and more leasing and submission of territories in North Borneo has been made by external power. The legacy of Charles Lee Moses is important to the existence of a symbiotic relationship between ATC and the British North Borneo (Chartered) Company (BNBC). This has had a huge impact on the transformation of society in North Borneo. The disadvantages of the leasing agreement sealed by the Sultan of Brunei and Moses have opened its attachment to the oversight of ATCs who are too pragmatic to allow their representatives to make any form of agreement and consulate in their trading territories. This article describes a number of matters relating to diplomatic, trade and security relations that have been the cause of the changing status of leasing and submission of territories in North Borneo to BNBC represented by Baron Von Overbeck and Alfred Dent.

Abstract:
In recent years, the phenomenon of the urban heat island caused by the rapid development of cities is very serious. To solve the problem of the urban heat island, this study proposed a PPP project consisting of the government (GOVT), photovoltaic investment company (PVIC), and residential customers (RS). Based on an evolutionary game model and combined with current policies and industry regulations in China, the evolution process and stable evolution strategies were studied. The result shows that more government subsidies, higher carbon trading prices, and feed-in tariffs will promote the development of the PPP project. For relatively suitable reference value ranges, the installation tilt angle of the BAPV system is 30°, the photovoltaic grid electricity price is 0.1096∼0.1296 $/kWh, the carbon trading is 8.92∼9.42 $/t.

Abstract:
Compares slave trading and slavery in the Dutch colonial empire, specifically between the former trading and territorial domains of the West India Company (WIC), the Americas and West Africa, and of the East India Company (VOC), South East Asia, the Indian Ocean region, and South and East Africa. Author presents the latest quantitative assessments concerning the Dutch transatlantic as well as Indian Ocean World slave trade, placing the volume, direction, and characteristics of the forced migration in a historical context. He describes how overall the Dutch were a second-rate player in Atlantic slavery, though in certain periods more important, with according to recent estimates a total of about 554.300 slaves being transported by the Dutch to the Americas. He indicates that while transatlantic slave trade and slavery received much scholarly attention resulting in detailed knowledge, the slave trade and slavery in the Indian Ocean World by the Dutch is comparatively underresearched. Based on demand-side estimates throughout Dutch colonies of the Indonesian archipelago and elsewhere, he deduces that probably close to 500.000 slaves were transported by the Dutch in the Indian Ocean World. In addition, the author points at important differences between the nature and contexts of slavery, as in the VOC domains slavery was mostly of an urban and domestic character, contrary to its production base in the Americas. Slavery further did in the VOC areas not have a rigid racial identification like in WIC areas, with continuing, postslavery effects, and allowed for more flexibility, while unlike the plantation colonies in the Caribbean, as Suriname, not imported slaves but indigenous peoples formed the majority. He also points at relative exceptions, e.g. imported slaves for production use in some VOC territories, as the Banda islands and the Cape colony, and a certain domestic and urban focus of slavery in Curaçao.

Abstract:
In 2008, Pierre Gervais contended that social and economic developments in the Atlantic were to be ascribed to an overwhelming European intervention in West Africa and the Americas. This article questions Gervais’s assumption by stressing how Europeans, West Africans and Americans – individuals and states – mutually influenced urban hierarchies and distributive hubs across three different continents, while arguing that these interactions and interconnections should be seen within a context of entangled histories. This contribution re-examines the Dutch experience of slave trade and shipping to assess the extent to which slave trading and shipping activities influenced port hierarchies in Europe, determined the organization of port hubs in West Africa and helped develop port structures in the Americas. This assessment is anchored in the data provided by the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database, the collections of the Dutch West India Company and the Middleburg Commercial Company, and the notarial archives of Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Abstract:
This study offers a macro-historical geographic comparison of blue-green urban infrastructure in the coastal cities of Boston, USA and Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. After introducing the aims and methods of comparative historical geography, we focus on the insights that these two cases offer. Their stories begin with ancient coastal fishing settlements, followed by early processes of urbanization and fortification in the 17th century. By the late-18th century Anglo-American merchants in Boston were trading with Parsi merchants in Bombay, at a time when Bostonians had little more to sell than ice in exchange for India’s fine textiles. From the early-19th century onwards, the two maritime cities undertook surprisingly parallel processes of land reclamation and water development. Boston commissioned blue-green infrastructure proposals at the urban scale, from Frederick Law Olmsted’s Back Bay Fens to Charles Eliot’s Metropolitan Park District Plan—innovations that offer more than a century of lessons in environmental performance and resilience. The two cities developed parallel “Esplanade,” “Back Bay,” and “Reclamation” projects. None of these projects anticipated the magnitude of 20th century land, water, and infrastructure change. Both cities have begun to address the increasing risks of urban flooding, sea level rise, and population displacement, but they need bolder metropolitan visions of blue-green urban infrastructure to address emerging climate change and water hazards.

Abstract:
The article deals with the approach to modeling the road transport movement in large cities (with a population of over 100 thousand people) for the delivery of goods from a large warehouse to stores belonging to a trading network company, with the task of optimizing these movements. The main purposes of this optimization task are: to reduce the transportation time; to conduct a rational distribution of vehicles; to reduce the number of required vehicles involved in these transportations; to reduce operating costs for the maintenance of vehicles. The problem statement and its solution on the basis of heuristic algorithms of the Traveling Salesman Problem are given. The article presents a comparative analysis of the most popular methods for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (Greedy Approach, Modified Greedy Approach, Minimum Spanning Tree, Monte Carlo Simplification Model, Ant Colony Optimization, Algorithm of Little) on the basis of experimental research and simulation. As a result of the analysis, it is proposed to use the Algorithm of Little for optimizing of road transport movement in the delivery of goods. The article provides an example of solving a specific problem using the developed calculation procedure and a computer program “Traveling Salesman Problem” (developed in Pascal in the software environment Delphi 7).

Abstract: This article aims to present a history of the church and the Lutheran/Evangelical community in the town of Pitesti starting from the middle of the 19th century and in the first two decades of the 20th century. It includes parts of the doctoral thesis entitled Modernization and urbanization in the city of Pitesti (1866-1914), defended at the University of Craiova in December 2021. In the city of Pitesti, the administrative residence of Argeș County, several Germans of Lutheran faith settled, who formed a thriving community before 1918, with their own church and a denominational primary school. The Lutheran Germans set up trading companies and were involved in social and cultural-artistic activities that paved the way: the city's first performance hall and theater known by its owners (Uklar, Lehrer), the first urban choir (Liedertafel), the first funeral insurance company (German Funeral Society of Pitesti), which meant some important landmarks of urban transformation in the modern sense.

Abstract:
AbstractEarly modern globalization depended on labour-intensive production and transport of global commodities. Throughout the Dutch Empire of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries labour was mobilized through a variety of different labour relations (especially casual, contract, slave, and corvée labour). The mobilization of these workers often entailed movements over short, but more often long, distances. Port cities were crucial nodal points connecting various sites of production and circuits of distribution. Furthermore, these ports were themselves also important working environments (ranging from transport and storage, to production and security). As a result, workers from various regional, social, and cultural backgrounds worked in the same environments and were confronted with each other – as well as with the legal and disciplining regimes of early modern urban and corporate authorities. This article studies the development of labour relations in the port work of the Dutch Asian empire, looking at the mobilization and control of labour for dock work (loading and unloading of ships) and transport in its urban surroundings. It will analyse and compare the development of the need for labour, the employment of different sets of labour relations, and the mechanisms of control that developed from it. As the largest trading company active in Asia (up to the 1750s), the case of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) is crucial in understanding the impact of early imperial and capitalist development in changing global social and labour relations.

Abstract:
In 1840, the City of Québec regained formal corporate status under an ordinance of the Special Council of Lower Canada. This article argues that the ordinance expressed a particular concept or urbanism. Based on concept of the role of cities developed in Great Britain during the Age of Reform, it sought to create non-partisan municipal structures that would encourage local development and 'improvement' while at the same time ensuring the dominance of the anglophone commercial elites. In this, the ordinance expressed in local terms the grand objectives of Governor Charles Poulett Thomson (Lord Sydenham) for the entire colony. Ultimately, this imperial urbanism was a failure. While the essential structure of municipal governance remained intact until 1855, local issues became immediately entangled in provincial party politics. Major business leaders were replaced by professional and small retailers as the dominant group on the City Council. The very ethos of improvement ensured that the under-financed city government became dwarfed by other agencies, such as the banks, the Gas Company and of course railroads. The case of Québec City in the first years of the Union illustrates the failure of attempts to transplant Utilitarian approaches to state formation into a colonial context.

Abstract:
This chapter recounts how the officials of the French and British India companies on the Coromandel Coast signed a treaty late in 1754 to suspend hostilities between them after years of war. For nearly a decade, the companies had clashed in the southeastern part of the Indian subcontinent. The chapter mentions Charles Godeheu and Thomas Saunders, who each promised to recognise the possessions of the other company, permit a free trade in zones where they had established political control, and withdraw from the Indian power struggles that had enmeshed them in conflict. The chapter details how the French proposed a treaty to exempt the outposts and vessels of both corporations from attack in case of future wars in Europe. Such an understanding would demilitarise Franco-British commercial competition east of the Cape of Good Hope.

Abstract:
Abstract Early modern European expansion in the Indian Ocean World was primarily the work of trading companies. Over the course of the eighteenth century, two such institutions—the English East India Company and the French Compagnie des Indes—sought to expand their commercial, political, diplomatic, and urban footprint in India. It was those Companies’ aggressive and long-standing efforts to embed themselves in South Asian politics and commerce that created the space and the means for European war to enter South Asia in the first place. The war wrought massive transformations in India’s political, territorial, and commercial landscape, while realigning the Companies’ relationships with Indian rulers and their own European states alike. Still, even in this massively reconfigured arena, European empire in India remained a Company affair, as some of the Companies’ bureaucratic, jurisdictional, and urban structures remained firmly in place to structure both the unfolding of the war and its aftermath.

Abstract:
Many years before Charles Elton collected the detailed data on fur returns to The Hudson’s Bay Trading Company, or described the regular fluctuations in small mammal numbers, scientists and naturalists had observed and were proposing explanations for the cause of periodic crashes in numbers of red grouse known as “grouse disease.” MacDonald (1883) claimed “that it was more than eighty years since the alarm of grouse disease was sounded in this country,” implying that naturalists were starting to examine the phenomenon nearly 200 years ago. In 1873, The House of Commons established a Select Committee to consider the game laws of the United Kingdom and, since this had followed a year of particularly severe population collapse in red grouse numbers, they took exhaustive evidence on a wide range of possible causes of “grouse disease.” An examination of the letters in The Times and The Field shows that the debate over the cause of the population crashes was contentious and as heated as many of the recent debates over the causes of population cycles. Scientific studies were initiated by Cobbold (1873) who examined grouse killed during a population crash, published a pamphlet that described the presence of large numbers of “strongle worms,” and advocated the theory that the cause of grouse disease was wholly due to the presence of nematode worms. In 1905, the Board of Agriculture appointed a Committee of Inquiry on Grouse Disease to investigate the life history of the parasite and the causes of “grouse disease.” The extensive survey and detailed analysis was quite remarkable for the time, and was presented in a two-volume publication (Lovat 1911). The Committee surveyed grouse populations, undertook experiments and, after nearly 2000 dissections, came to the conclusion that “the strongyle worm, and the strongyle worm alone, is the immediate causa causans of adult ‘Grouse Disease.’“ The Principal Field Officer was E. A. Wilson, a gifted artist and scientist who was later appointed as the Scientific Director to Captain Scott’s Antarctic expedition on the Terra Nova. Unfortunately, Wilson never saw the production of the final report as he died with Scott during their return from the South Pole.
