Implementation of a wideband RF hybrid coupler in the optical domain
Creators: name: Emami, Hossein
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: With rapid development in telecommunication and electronic warfare technology, faster and more flexible systems are in demand.
Wideband signal processors are thus needed to implement such systems. Microwave photonics has been introduced as a tool of achieving ultra broad communication systems. RADAR, navigation, and radio astronomy systems can also utilise microwave photonics to achieve broader bandwidths.
Quadrature hybrid couplers play an important major role in microwave equipments from balanced mixers/amplifiers to instantaneous frequency measurement systems. Traditional wideband hybrid couplers are already available in the microwave domain but there are still limitations on bandwidth and phase ripple as well as input/output impedance.
The aim of this thesis is to develop a wideband quadrature hybrid coupler utilizing microwave photonics technology and to demonstrate the application of such a coupler.
Major contributions made by this work include the implementation of a photonic Hilbert transformer, which can be used to achieve in-phase and quadrature-phase generation over a wideband frequency range (2-18 GHz) with low phase ripple (3 dB). This Hilbert transformer is used as a quadrature hybrid coupler to implement a microwave photonic instantaneous frequency measurement system with a wide frequency measurement range and a photonic feed for a reconfigurable four arm sinuous antenna.

Passive cooling of concentrated solar cells using phase change material thermal storage
Creators: name: Tan, Lip Pong
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: High solar cell temperature has always been a major concern when designing a concentrated solar power (CSP) system. Exceeding the operational cell temperature can result shorter cell lifespan and even cell damage under extreme solar concentration. Currently, active cooling methods such as using water circulating devices are commonly used to control elevated cell temperature. However, power parasite and risks of mechanical failure are always associated with active cooling devices. Passive cooling methods are simpler and more reliable than active cooling but not very effective for high solar concentrating applications. Many research works have been conducted on improving passive cooling performance in the past decades but the outcomes are insignificant. The main problem faces by passive cooling methods is the natural cooling rate is very dependent on the ambient conditions. Low wind speed and high ambient temperature are factors which can significantly reduce the cooling performance of any passive devices. Hence, passive cooling methods are discouraged from high heat intensity applications. In this regards, phase change material (PCM) is proposed on the CSP systems as passive cooling mechanism via melting and solidification. The PCM used in this research is paraffin wax which has attractive thermal-physical properties of high heat storage capacity, non-corrosive, high thermal cycle and exhibit isothermal process during phase transition period (solid-liquid). Furthermore, it is widely used as thermal storage material in civil engineering and solar engineering applications. In this thesis, PCM thermal storage was implemented on the concentrated thermoelectric generator (CTEG) and photovoltaic (PV) systems as passive thermal control and improved the electrical power generation under concentrated solar radiation. Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to assess the thermal and electrical performance of both CTEG and PV systems. The experimental results revealed that the CTEG-PCMTS system is able to generate 8.47W of thermoelectricity at 130suns using two TEG cells. In addition, the PV-PCM system has gained 5% improvement on photo-electric generation and 15oC reduction on panel temperature as compared to natural-cooled system. The proposed PCM thermal storage has the potentials to be implemented on the CSP systems for more efficient power generation.

description: Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions in a proton are important in high energy physics from both theoretical and phenomenological points of view. Using the latest RHIC and LHC data on the inclusive soft hadron production in $pp$ and $AA$ collisions at small transverse momenta, we determine the parameters of the initial TMD gluon density, derived in the framework of quark-gluon string model at the low scale $\mu_0 \sim 1 - 2$ GeV and refine its large-$x$ behaviour using the LHC data on the $t \bar t$ production at $\sqrt s = 13$ TeV. Then, we apply the Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation to extend the obtained TMD gluon density to the whole kinematical region. In addition, the complementary TMD valence and sea quark distributions are generated. The latter are evaluated in the approximation where the gluon-to-quark splitting occurs at the last evolution step using the TMD gluon-to-quark splitting function. Several phenomenological applications of the proposed TMD quark and gluon densities to the LHC processes are discussed.
Modelling and simulation of large-scale complex networks
Creators: name: Luo, Hongwei
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Real-world large-scale complex networks such as the Internet, social networks and biological networks have increasingly attracted the interest of researchers from many areas. Accurate modelling of the statistical regularities of these large-scale networks is critical to understand their global evolving structures and local dynamical patterns. Traditionally, the Erdos and Renyi random graph model has helped the investigation of various homogeneous networks. During the past decade, a special computational methodology has emerged to study complex networks, the outcome of which is identified by two models: the Watts and Strogatz small-world model and the Barabasi-Albert scale-free model.

At the core of the complex network modelling process is the extraction of characteristics of real-world networks. I have developed computer simulation algorithms for study of the properties of current theoretical models as well as for the measurement of two real-world complex networks, which lead to the isolation of three complex network modelling essentials.

The main contribution of the thesis is the introduction and study of a new General Two-Stage growth model (GTS Model), which aims to describe and analyze many common-featured real-world complex networks. The tools we use to create the model and later perform many measurements on it consist of computer simulations, numerical analysis and mathematical derivations.

In particular, two major cases of this GTS model have been studied.

One is named the U-P model, which employs a new functional form of the network growth rule: a linear combination of preferential attachment and uniform attachment. The degree distribution of the model is first studied by computer simulation, while the exact solution is also obtained analytically. Two other important properties of complex networks: the characteristic path length and the clustering coefficient are also extensively investigated, obtaining either analytically derived solutions or numerical results by computer simulations. Furthermore, I demonstrate that the hub-hub interaction behaves in effect as the link between a network's topology and resilience property.

The other is called the Hybrid model, which incorporates two stages of growth and studies the transition behaviour between the Erdos and Renyi random graph model and the Barabasi-Albert scale-free model. The Hybrid model is measured by extensive numerical simulations focusing on its degree distribution, characteristic path length and clustering coefficient.

Although either of the two cases serves as a new approach to modelling real-world large-scale complex networks, perhaps more importantly, the general two-stage model provides a new theoretical framework for complex network modelling, which can be extended in many ways besides the two studied in this thesis.

description: Der Fussballsport zieht Jung und Alt in seinen Bann. Jedoch hat dieser Massensport auch seine negativen Seiten. Intoleranz, Aggressionen und Gewalt an Fussballveranstaltungen und in ihrem Umfeld sind altbekannte Phänomene, welche sowohl in den Medien wie auch in der sozioprofessionellen und der clubbezogenen Fanarbeit thematisiert werden. Interessant dabei ist, dass trotz der erwähnten Probleme in der fussballbezogenen Forschung das Thema Geschlecht konsequent umgangen wird. In der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit wird einerseits der Frage nachgegangen, wie Deutschschweizer Fanarbeitende die Zusammensetzung und das daraus resultierende Verhalten der Fanszene deuten und bewerten sowie andererseits, welche gendertheoretischen Ansätze sie vertreten. Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass die Fanszene als männerdominiert, patriarchalisch und hierarchisch gegliedert beschrieben wird, was die Mehrheit der Interviewten als problematisch bewertet. Bei den Befragten ist nur wenig Bewusstheit und Sensibilität für geschlechterbezogene Themen vorhanden. Diverse Interviewaussagen bestätigen, dass es in der Fanszene zu Diskriminierung, Sexismus und Geschlechterstereotypisierungen kommt. Demnach besteht Handlungsbedarf im Bereich der Aus- und Weiterbildung der Fanarbeitenden, der Präventionsarbeit mit den Fans, der Fanarbeitskonzepte, der Genderkompetenzentwicklung und der Verwendung einer genderneutralen Sprache.

description: Pilbaraxius gen. nov.
 Type species. Pilbaraxius kariyarra sp. nov., herein designated.
 Diagnosis. Carapace smooth or tuberculate; cervical groove visible laterally over third distance to anterolateral margin. Rostrum acutely triangular, with pair of lateral spines, longer than eyestalks, not depressed below level of carapace, continuous with definite lateral carinae; supraocular spines prominent; lateral carina with 1 spine; submedian carina present, with 1 spine; median carina a weak ridge, unarmed; postcervical carina absent. Abdominal somite 1 pleuron acute; pleuron 2 acute, pleura 3–5 acute, with anteroventral tooth. Eyestalk cylindrical, articulating; cornea weakly pigmented. Antenna, scaphocerite long. Maxilliped 3 exopod not clearly bent at base of flagellum. Pleurobranchs present above pereopods 2–4; podobranchs and arthrobranchs well developed; epipods present on maxilliped 2 to pereopod 4. Pereopods 1 slightly asymmetrical, with propodus flattened; carpus-propodus upper margin unarmed, sparsely setose. Pereopods 3–5 propodi with transverse rows of robust setae; dactyli tapering, with longitudinal row of robust setae. Pleopods 3–5, appendix interna present. Pleopod 1 of male absent. Pleopod 2 of male without appendix masculina.Uropodal endopod without lateral and distolateral spines; exopod with transverse suture. Telson with lateral fixed spines and posterolateral robust setae; apex rounded.
 Etymology. Pilbara is the name of the region of North-western Australia close to the type locality of the type species.
 Remarks. The problematic generic placement of the type species highlights issues with the family Axiidae. The spinose rostrum, diverging palm and long fingers on the chelipeds and abdominal pleura with prominent ventral spination closely resemble those of Calaxiopsis serrata Sakai and de Saint Laurent, 1989, a species belong to the “calocaridid” group. The new species differs from all in this group in possessing pleurobranchs and lacking the modified pleopods 1 and 2. The new species also resembles species of Calaxius but these usually have highly setose chelipeds and rows of prominent spines on the upper margin of the chelipeds (as in C. acutirostris redescribed above). Neither of these conditions characterises the new species. In addition, the uropodal endopod is apically rounded and lacking lateral and distolateral spines typical of Calaxius and many other axiid genera. Further, pleopod 2 lacks an appendix masculina, a state seen in few axiids. In summary, a new genus seems warranted.

description: Laser-assisted additive manufacturing (AM) is the process of successively melting thin layers of material using a laser source to produce a three dimensional device or product. From the many technologies available, only a few can produce metallic parts that fulfil the requirements of industrial applications. Ultrafast laser machining is a new and promising technical approach for post-processing AM parts since laser ablation and surface modification processes could be applied with high accuracy for trimming shape and functionality, i.e., edge quality and wettability. The impact of different ultrafast laser parameters is evaluated for AM samples, which are examined for surface roughness before and after the laser-assisted post-processes. For all the parameters tested, the use of ultrafast laser resulted in a homogeneous material ablation of the samples’ surfaces. For the investigated parameter range, the AM building tracks were still maintained even after ultrafast laser post-processing. The achieved results showed the formation of self-organized porous structures at low laser scan velocities leading to an enhanced surface roughness. For higher scan velocities characteristic nano ripples might be induced having no significant impact on the measured surface roughness.
An examination of idiosyncratic volatility in Australia.
Creators: name: Liu, Bin
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In finance, the pricing of assets is an area of fundamental importance. Many theories and their associated models have been proposed. The Capital Asset Pricing Model is arguably the most important of these as it provides the basis for many other asset pricing models. The theory of the Capital Asset Pricing Model states that investors should be compensated for higher systematic risk taken but should not be compensated for higher unsystematic risk or idiosyncratic volatility taken. The reason for this is that the Capital Asset Pricing Model suggests that idiosyncratic volatility should be ignored since investors are assumed to hold proportions of the well diversified market portfolio. Therefore, idiosyncratic volatility is fully diversified away in their portfolios and only systematic risk should be priced. However, it is not realistic to assume that every investor holds a proportion of the well diversified market portfolio in the real world because of market imperfections such as transaction costs and/or limited knowledge in all securities. Hence, idiosyncratic volatility should not be ignored in the area of asset pricing
Designing epistemology

description: This is a personal account of a design practice considered from a first-person perspective. I review several decades of design activity in order to better understand my own philosophical trajectory. I form an understanding of my own design practice in virtue of the conceptual frameworks forged in the design activities investigated. The process is therefore entirely recursive, and is a design activity in itself. Its principle value has been to give me a much deeper understanding of the dynamics of a design practice focusing on the designer and his ways of thinking rather than on the work. I come to understand that a designer’s frameworks determine much of what can be understood, that frameworks are implicated in the problem itself. I propose that designers first uncover the tacit frameworks that guide their practices through an examination of the failures, surprises or unexpected results that occur in work guided by them. Designers might learn to set aside their frameworks when they no longer serve. I call this process ‘Anamnesis and Amnesia’: first remember and then forget. I believe that this view has had great value to my practice of teaching design. I offer it to others in the hope that they may find similar value in this strategy, or to be inspired to undertake a journey of their own.

title: Die Berichterstattung des ORF über die Olympischen Sommerspiele 2008 in Peking
Creators: name: Haas, Sandra
Year: 2009

description: Wie wirkt sich eine eingeschränkte Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit eines autoritären Landes auf die Berichterstattung von ausländischen JournalistInnen aus? Welche Probleme tauchten hinsichtlich der Berichterstattungen über die Olympischen Spiele in Peking für die JournalistInnen des ORF auf und wie gestaltete sich der Umgang mit chinesischen Sicherheitsorganen? Welche Themen wurden überhaupt im Zusammenhang mit den Olympischen Spielen in die Berichterstattung aufgenommen und welche Nachrichtenfaktoren waren dafür ausschlaggebend? Im Zuge dieser wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung lieferten vor allem die Theorien der Journalismusforschung wie die Gatekeeper-Theorie oder die Nachrichtenwerttheorie den dazu benötigten theoretischen Hintergrund. Drei erfahrene JournalistInnen des ORF wurden mittels eines teilstandardisierten Gesprächsleitfadens bezüglich ihrer Erfahrungen mit der Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit während den Olympischen Spielen von 8. bis 24. August 2008 in Peking befragt. Die Aussagen der ExpertInnen wurden mit Hilfe einer computergestützten qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Für eine barrierefreie Berichterstattung der ORF-JournalistInnen war die im Jänner 2007 von der chinesischen Regierung eingeführte Regelung hinsichtlich der Ausweitung der Reise- und Recherchetätigkeit für ausländische JournalistInnen ausschlaggebend, denn vor dem 1.1.2007 machten sich diese noch strafbar, wenn trotz gültiger Journalistenakkreditierung ohne Anmeldung beim Ausländeramt in eine andere Region außerhalb Pekings gereist wurde. Im Zuge der Nachrichtenauswahl gingen vor allem viele negative Themen in die Berichterstattung über die Olympischen Spiele und China ein. Dieses Aufkommen negativer Schlagzeilen lässt sich unter anderem auch auf den ökologisch schlechten Zustand Chinas wie zum Beispiel der Luftverschmutzung zurückführen oder die in diesem Zeitraum vermehrt auftauchenden politischen Vorkommnisse. Andererseits wurde schon im Vorfeld der Olympischen Spiele Druck vonseiten europäischer Medien aufgebaut. So wurden JournalistInnen anlässlich des European Editors Forum 2008 in Wien unter anderem darauf aufmerksam gemacht, die Probleme Chinas zu beleuchten, um eine unmenschliche Entwicklung dieses Landes zu unterbinden. Die empirischen Ergebnisse dieser vorliegenden Arbeit können vor allem in der Journalismusforschung eingesetzt werden, da unter anderem auch aufgezeigt wird, welche rechtlichen Maßnahmen für JournalistInnen in einem Land gegeben sein müssen, um einen freien Nachrichtenfluss national wie international zu gewährleisten bzw. welche wirtschaftlichen Faktoren dabei vonseiten eines Medienunternehmens vorhanden sein müssen, um frei von kommerziellen Zwängen berichten zu können.

The application of XRF spectrometry and chemometrics for the assessment of impacted soil environments.
Creators: name: Falconer, Damien
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The complexities of soil can result in an arduous and time consuming task of analysis and data interpretation when routine methodology is applied. Furthermore, the application of univariate data interpretation techniques on large data sets can often result in important information remaining hidden. In this research, the combination of XRF spectrometry and multivariate chemometric techniques was investigated as an alternative approach for the assessment of complex soil compositional data in impacted soil environments. Vineyards with issues that could be the result of an altered soil environment were used as investigation sites through consultation with technical committee members of the Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association (MPVA).

The XRF/chemometric combination was successfully applied to a variety of situations in viticulture where potentially impacted soil environments occurred, including changes in management practices, anomalies in remote sensing data and situations where unresolved growth issues occurred. In these investigations, trends and patterns in soil composition were identified that allowed for elucidation of impacted soil environments in a broad range of situations encountered in viticulture.

The outcomes of the investigations demonstrated that the XRF/chemometrics combination is an innovative adaptation for soil analytical methodology that is effective for the assessment of altered soil environments. This was due to the ability to gather large sets of soil compositional data and identify the important trends and patterns including hidden information that univariate interpretation techniques may not identify.

There is considerable potential for the techniques developed in this research to be incorporated into soil analytical methodology where in the important areas of soil research, land contamination and crop production where the nature and causes of altered soil compositions may need to be determined.
title: Geschlechterkonstruktionen im Wandel am Beispiel der "Zeit im Bild 1" zwischen 1991 und 2008
Creators: name: Albrecht, Ruth
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Darstellung der Geschlechter im Fernsehen anhand der Nachrichtensendung „Zeit im Bild 1“ untersucht. Mittels eines Vergleichs der Sendungen aus dem Jahr 1991 und 2008 wurden zusätzlich mögliche Veränderungen in der Darstellung der Geschlechter erhoben. Die Sendungen wurden mit einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse untersucht. Bei der Untersuchung wurde neben dem quantitativen Vorkommen der Geschlechter, die gesellschaftliche Positionierung, das Aussehen, die Körpersprache sowie die thematische Struktur der Nachrichtensendungen, erfasst, um ein möglichst umfassenden Bild der Geschlechterdarstellung zu generieren. Das deutlichste Ergebnis ist die gravierende Unterrepräsentation der weiblichen Akteure in den Nachrichten. So hat sich zwar die Präsenz der Frauen 2008 erhöht, dennoch waren diese im Vergleich zu den männlichen Akteuren deutlich unterrepräsentiert. Parallel dazu zeigte sich dahingehend eine Darstellung der Geschlechter entlang traditioneller Geschlechtervorstellungen, dass Frauen nach wie vor im Vergleich zu Männern überproportional in weiblichen Bereichen vorgekommen sind. Dies hat sich an den Rollen, der Zugehörigkeit zu beruflichen Gruppen sowie dem thematischen Kontext der AkteurInnen gezeigt. Aufgrund des geringen Vorkommens ebendieser traditionell weiblichen Bereiche in den Nachrichten bedingt dieser Zusammenhang automatisch eine Marginalisierung der Frauen. Einen deutlichen Unterschied zwischen weiblichen und männlichen Akteuren wies schließlich auch die Untersuchung des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes auf. Demnach müssen die Frauen in den Nachrichten stärker als die Männer den gesellschaftlichen Schönheitsvorstellungen entsprechen. Schließlich haben die Ergebnisse für die Körpersprache gezeigt, dass Frauen sich auch körperlich unterordnend verhalten haben. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse kann festgestellt werden, dass Frauen in den Nachrichten nach wie vor gegenüber Männern benachteiligt sind.

description: For a given ideal I in K[x_1,...,x_n,y_1,...,y_m] in a polynomial ring with n+m variables, we want to find all elements that can be written as f-g for some f in K[x_1,...,x_n] and some g in K[y_1,...,y_m], i.e., all elements of I that contain no term involving at the same time one of the x_1,...,x_n and one of the y_1,...,y_m. For principal ideals and for ideals of dimension zero, we give a algorithms that compute all these polynomials in a finite number of steps.

Paint it Black: my research into the Black Plastic as a (self-) portrait in the Cabinet Devriendt (2007-2014)
Creators: name: Devriendt, Lucas
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: How does a painting come into being? What is its prior history? What was its necessity? What is it that makes you paint it eventually? Is it a foundling, an orphan? Or does it have family, ancestors, parents, children?

At a certain moment, it emerges. It suddenly appears. It can get in the way, it can be hung, it can hang around. It is present and sometimes not.

Seen from the side it is not so thick – just a few centimetres –unlike the front side, which at best suggests an immensity. The back is like a dress with a bare back.

As an object, it is a lightweight. Something is suggested on the carrier, the canvas, the painted canvas, the painting. Or is it? Alberti writes: ‘Since painting strives to represent things, let us examine how things are seen.’

On it, I painted black plastic that reflects light. I wondered why on earth I had done that. Was there a reason, was it a coincidence? I had the impression that I had mainly not painted something. And this because of ... Of what? What did I not want to paint? The absence?

Did I want to paint the invisible? Can you paint a thing that is not visible?

In the painting, you can sometimes see its physically past, traces of actions and touches of the brush and the paint that – loosely and together – tell a story.

The painting the Black Plastic only found its place at the end of the ride, in the Cabinet Devriendt, although it was both the starting point and the cause of the research. Sometimes a painting is a story that can be told backwards as if one were reading the story from beginning to end. Its ancestry also became my ancestry.

I was lucky because, through my ancestors, I could think ahead in reverse. You dig into your past and discover artefacts that are suddenly more relevant than anything you have seen and created so far. A future past.

My father told me that, through my research, he has rediscovered his father.

He saw something he had not seen before. Knowing is seeing, apparently. That is what the research is about, a curious longing mixed with an inquisitiveness that creates a clear view on something.

Being an artist is something that appears to have originated outside of the self, or before the self even thought of becoming or being an artist. Perhaps my grandfather became more of an artist and I have now become more of a doctor.
title: Sexe, politique et la presse
Creators: name: Sowinetz, Marie-Claire

description: Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der geschlechtsspezifischen Darstellung von Politikerinnen und Politikern in Printmedien. Am Beispiel des österreichischen Bundespräsidentschaftswahlkampfs im Jahr 2004 und des französischen Präsidentschaftswahlkampfs 2007 sollte der Frage nachgegangen werden, ob und inwiefern das Geschlecht der Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten in der jeweiligen nationalen Berichterstattung eine Rolle gespielt hat. Mit Hilfe der quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse wurde die Berichterstattung ausgewählter österreichischer und französischer Printmedien analysiert. Exemplarisch für Österreich wurden für den Bereich „Qualitätsmedien“ die Tageszeitungen "Der Standard" und "Die Presse" ausgewählt. Die "Kleine Zeitung" wurde als auflagenstärkste Regionalzeitung in die Untersuchung miteinbezogen. Und repräsentativ für den Bereich der Boulevardmedien wurde die "Neue Kronen Zeitung", für den Magazinsektor wurde "News" für die Analyse ausgewählt. Für Frankreich wurde die Tageszeitung "Le Monde" als französisches Pendant zum "Standard" in die Analyse miteinbezogen, Le Figaro stellt das Gegenstück zur "Presse" dar. Auf regionaler Ebene wurde "Ouest-France" als auflagenstärkste Regionalzeitungen analysiert, "Le Parisien" wurden als auflagenstärkste Boulevardzeitung Frankreichs in die Analyse miteinbezogen. Und im Bereich der Magazine wurde "L’Express" als auflagenstärkstes Magazin analysiert. Die Ergebnisse beider Länder waren in vielen Punkten ähnlich, es gab jedoch auch einige Unterschiede. Für beide Länder haben die Ergebnisse auf eine weitestgehend ausgewogene Berichterstattung zwischen den Geschlechtern hinsichtlich formaler Aspekte, wie Quantität der Berichterstattung hingewiesen. Unterschiede fanden sich in der Beurteilung der Performance und Kompetenz, wo die Kandidatinnen schlechter als ihre männlichen Kollegen beurteilt wurden. Auch das Geschlecht der Journalistin, beziehungsweise des Journalisten spielte bei der Beurteilung eine Rolle. In Bezug auf die thematische Kontextualisierung konnte für Frankreich die Aussage vorangegangener Studien bestätigt werden, dass über Politiker häufiger in Zusammenhang mit sogenannten „harten“ Themen, wie Innen- und Außenpolitik oder Wirtschaft berichtet wird, als dies bei Politikerinnen der Fall ist. Eine explizite Erwähnung des Geschlechts (wie zum Beispiel ob in der Berichterstattung häufig angesprochen wurde, dass das Geschlecht der KandidatIn sich auf das Wählerverhalten auswirken könnte) konnte nicht festgestellt werden. Die Ergebnisse können damit vorsichtig einen Trend bestätigen, der bereits durch andere Studien gezeigt wurde: Die Anzeichen, die auf eine geschlechtsspezifische Darstellung von Politikerinnen und Politiker hindeuten, nehmen mit zunehmenden Maße ab. Für die Printmedien kann auch in dieser Arbeit konstatiert werden, dass die Berichterstattung zu einer Gleichbehandlung der Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten tendiert.
