As others have said, "skall uppges" is just the passive future-tense form of "att ge upp" ("to give up" --> "shall be given up"). Someone said the text was written in the 1960s. I'm not sure about that, but I do know it was continuously re-published throughout the 1980s... And already, the usage is unfamiliar to current dictionaries and translation resources! In a few decades more, it will be as gobbledy-gook to (then-)current Swedish-speakers as stuff from the 1940s is now.
