Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This research examines the overlooked political implications of energy pricing on voting patterns in manufacturing communities, amidst increasing scholarly interest in the political ramifications of Western industrial decline. We focus specifically on the surge in electricity prices and their effect on electoral choices in manufacturing -dense regions in Sweden during the 2022 general elections. The rise in electricity costs holds particular significance given Europe's reliance on imported energy for competitive manufacturing, coupled with the existing constraints on energy supply. With energy prices being a direct threat to industries and influencing the competitiveness of manufacturing firms and job security, we argue that these factors could significantly influence voting behaviour in affected communities. Our findings show that areas with higher electricity costs witnessed a more robust performance by the incumbent Social Democratic Party, suggesting that economic insecurity may indeed spur greater demand for traditional left-wing policies, such as economic compensation.

Rasbiologiskt språkbruk i statens rättsprocess mot sameby : DN Debatt 2015-06-11
- 2015
-
Other publication (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Statens hantering av forskningsresultat i rättsprocessen med Girjas sameby utgör ett hot mot Sverige som rättsstat och kunskapsnation. Åratal av svensk och internationell forskning underkänns och man använder ett språkbruk som skulle kunna vara hämtat från rasbiologins tid. Nu måste staten ta sitt ansvar och börja agera som en demokratisk rättsstat, skriver 59 forskare.

Network Programming Applied too Operation Planning of Hydrothermal Power Systems
- 1986
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The objective of the project was to develop models and methods suitable for computer implementation. In particular, this work has been devoted to generation scheduling of a power system with a sizeable amount. of hydro energy. Optimal operation planning of hydrothermal power systems aims at minimizing incurred production costs while supplying customer demand. The planning horizon may vary from one day to several years and the associated planning problems are categorized as short term, seasonal and long term operation planning. The topic of this thesis is short term operation planning.In this planning, it is necessary to use detailed models of the different parts of the power system. These include models of cascaded reservoirs in a multi-river system as we11 as a representation of the nonlinear generating characteristics of the hydro plants.he thermal generating units are modelled using linear production cost curves and by recognizing various technical constraints associated with the operation of these plants.Effects on the optimal operating strategy caused by interregional transmission capacity limitations are also accounted for by the model. These constraints are modelled to main1y affect the hydro plant operation.
