This thesis explores a hybrid procedural animation framework that combines physics-based constraints with artistically tunable parameters to generate diverse, real-time character locomotion. Addressing the limitations of traditional keyframing and opaque data-driven methods, the system employs a hierarchical parameter set-ranging from high-level style descriptors (e.g., "energy level") t
The primary task of child forensic interviewers is to secure evidence without causing the child discomfort. Evidence obtained through incorrect interview techniques risks being denied in court. Research has shown that negative emotions such as sadness and anger can affect the interrogation negatively. The aim of this study was to gain new knowledge about the complexity that child interviewers face
This study explores consumer perceptions of heritage brands following a revolutionary rebrand, with a focus on adapting the Consumer Perceived Value (CPV) theory. Building on Wuestefeld et al.’s (2012) framework, the research incorporates the disruptive nature of revolutionary rebranding to extend the theoretical understanding of CPV in a heritage branding context. Guided by a relativist ontology
I Sverige har var femte ungdom mellan 16-24 år blivit utsatt för våld i en parrelation. Denna uppsats behandlar det sexuella och fysiska våld som flickor utsätts för i parrelationer motiverat utifrån att statistiken visar att det är en grupp som särskilt drabbas av dessa våldsformer. Syftet är att bidra med kunskap eftersom den svenska forskningen inom fältet är mycket begränsad. Förhoppningen är

Purpose: The study aims to examine whether health consciousness, as a cognitive heuristic, influences the impact of vegan labels, as external cues, on product attribute perceptions such as taste, health, and environmental friendliness, as well as on consumption intentions. As consumers face cognitive limitations when evaluating food products, this research aim to contribute to the understanding of
Fatima, f, 34, parent: “It is a small home for our children. They spend many hours here. To us, it is not just daycare. We don’t just come here and drop off our children and say goodbye, then come back in a few hours. They have to feel that this is a home to them”. This ethnographic study of Danish daycares analyses how information is being shared between parents and daycare staff, how conflict is
This study investigates the relationship between public perceptions of rape myths, secondary victimization, and the willingness to report a sexual assault in a Swedish context. A literature review was conducted to map the current state of the research, which revealed that most previous studies originate from North America and emphasize the role of institutional responses, especially by the police.
As climate change accelerates, rising sea levels and eroding shorelines are reshaping our coastal landscapes. Short-term fixes, such as beach nourishment and offshore breakwaters, are proving increasingly ineffective and costly. In nations like Sri Lanka, where tourism is a vital pillar of the economy and heavily dependent on beaches, these transient measures have become financially unsustainable.
Selection bias in non-probability samples presents a significant challenge in IoT device di- agnostics data analysis, where incomplete or systematically missing data can compromise the validity of analytical insights. Our project proposes a comprehensive statistical frame- work to correct for that bias, using real-world data from Axis Communications AB. The project explores three primary methodolo

This study aims to quantitatively examine the impact of on-court, off-court, and university-related factors on athlete marketability. It further investigates whether gender moderates these relationships. A quantitative approach was chosen, utilizing secondary data collected from collegiate basketball athletes’ social media profiles and university rosters for the 2024-2025 season. Generalized Linea
Vatten hittar alltid ett sätt att nå sin destination. Kan vi också göra det? Med tanke på de snabba klimatförändringarna och den ökade risken för kraftiga nederbördshändelser kan kommunerna i Sverige potentiellt stå inför stora utmaningar. Vad gör vi när det inträffar skyfall och har kommuner och medborgare vidtagit alla försiktighetsåtgärder för att minimera egendomsskador och hälsorisker? DeDue to rapid urbanization and industrialization, cities have been seen as one of the main contributors to climate change and its negative impacts in recent decades. Many of the Nordic countries have experienced an increased number of torrential rains and floods in recent years, resulting in both property and environmental damage as well as possible negative effects on the well-being of citizens. E
This thesis investigates the asset growth anomaly in the Swedish stock market (Nasdaq Stockholm) from 2012 to 2023, with a focus on whether extrapolation bias can help explain the anomaly. Although prior research has documented a negative relationship between asset growth and future stock returns, most international studies have overlooked investor-side behavioural explanations such as extrapolati
