description: According to the inflationary theory of cosmology, most elementary particles in the current universe were created during a period of reheating after inflation. In this work we self-consistently couple the Einstein-inflaton equations to a strongly coupled quantum field theory (QFT) as described by holography. We show that this leads to an inflating universe, a reheating phase and finally a universe dominated by the QFT in thermal equilibrium.

Creators: name: Rindler, Eva-Maria
Year: 2009

description: Im Mittelpunkt dieser Diplomarbeit steht die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Roman Die Unendliche Geschichte von Michael Ende. Im ersten der drei Teile wird die künstlerische Haltung des Autors erläutert und untersucht. Endes Verhältnis zum Schaffen seines Vaters, des Malers Edgar Ende, sowie seine Affinität zur Literatur der Romantik verdeutlichen je einen Aspekt seiner Kunstauffassung. In Anlehnung an Friedrich Schillers Darlegungen betrachtet Ende die spielerische und absichtslose Auseinandersetzung mit der Kunst als Dreh- und Angelpunkt jeder ernsthaften künstlerischen Tätigkeit. Diesen Anspruch versucht der Autor auch in visueller und stilistischer Hinsicht in der Gestaltung seines Romans umzusetzen. Mit der Verwendung von Motiv und Symbol in der Unendlichen Geschichte befasst sich der zweite Teil der Arbeit. Der eklektische Charakter des Romans kommt in der Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Begriffen besonders zur Geltung. Literarische Motive aus der Helden-Epik und dem klassischen Altertum, fernöstliches Kulturgut und die Symbolik des Abend- und Morgenlandes verschmelzen zu einer bunten Vielfalt. Der dritte Teil besteht schließlich aus einer eingehenden Figurenanalyse, im Aufbau der Chronologie der Handlung folgend. Unter Einbeziehung von C.G. Jungs Analytischer Psychologie wird Bastians Entwicklungs- und Reifeprozess anhand seiner Begegnungen in Phantásien, Seite an Seite mit seinem „Schatten“ Atréju, untersucht und erörtert.

description: The importance of symmetries has recently been recognized in quantum machine learning from the simple motto: if a task exhibits a symmetry (given by a group $\mathfrak{G}$), the learning model should respect said symmetry. This can be instantiated via $\mathfrak{G}$-equivariant Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs), i.e., parametrized quantum circuits whose gates are generated by operators commuting with a given representation of $\mathfrak{G}$. In practice, however, there might be additional restrictions to the types of gates one can use, such as being able to act on at most $k$ qubits. In this work we study how the interplay between symmetry and $k$-bodyness in the QNN generators affect its expressiveness for the special case of $\mathfrak{G}=S_n$, the symmetric group. Our results show that if the QNN is generated by one- and two-body $S_n$-equivariant gates, the QNN is semi-universal but not universal. That is, the QNN can generate any arbitrary special unitary matrix in the invariant subspaces, but has no control over the relative phases between them. Then, we show that in order to reach universality one needs to include $n$-body generators (if $n$ is even) or $(n-1)$-body generators (if $n$ is odd). As such, our results brings us a step closer to better understanding the capabilities and limitations of equivariant QNNs.

description: As beam power continues to increase in next-generation accelerator facilities, high-power target systems face crucial challenges. Components like beam windows and particle-production targets must endure significantly higher levels of particle fluence. The primary beam's energy deposition causes rapid heating (thermal shock) and induces microstructural changes (radiation damage) within the target material. These effects ultimately deteriorate the components' properties and lifespan. With conventional materials already stretched to their limits, we are exploring novel materials including High-Entropy Alloys and Electrospun Nanofibers that offer a fresh approach to enhancing tolerance against thermal shock and radiation damage. Following an introduction to the challenges facing high-power target systems, we will give an overview of the promising advancements we have made so far in customizing the compositions and microstructures of these pioneering materials. Our focus is on optimizing their in-beam thermomechanical and physics performance. Additionally, we will outline our ongoing plans for in-beam irradiation experiments and advanced material characterizations. The primary goal of this research is to push the frontiers of target materials, thereby enabling future multi-MW facilities that will benefit various programs in high-energy physics and beyond.

Quantum walks as thermalizations, with application to fullerene graphs
Creators: name: Dhamapurkar, Shyam
name: Dahlsten, Oscar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider to what extent quantum walks can constitute models of thermalization, analogously to how classical random walks can be models for classical thermalization. In a quantum walk over a graph, a walker moves in a superposition of node positions via a unitary time evolution. We show a quantum walk can be interpreted as an equilibration of a kind investigated in the literature on thermalization in unitarily evolving quantum systems. This connection implies that recent results concerning the equilibration of observables can be applied to analyse the node position statistics of quantum walks. We illustrate this in the case of a family of graphs known as fullerenes. We find that a bound from Short et al., implying that certain expectation values will at most times be close to their time-averaged value, applies tightly to the node position probabilities. Nevertheless, the node position statistics do not thermalize in the standard sense. In particular, quantum walks over fullerene graphs constitute a counter-example to the hypothesis that subsystems equilibrate to the Gibbs state. We also exploit the bridge created to show how quantum walks can be used to probe the universality of the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis (ETH) relation. We find that whilst in C60 with a single walker, the ETH relation does not hold for node position projectors, it does hold for the average position, enforced by a symmetry of the Hamiltonian. The findings suggest a unified study of quantum walks and quantum self-thermalizations is natural and feasible.

title: Entwicklung durch Migration?
Creators: name: Kloss, Maria Anna
Year: 2009

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage nach den Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Migration und Entwicklung. Zentrale Aspekte der entwicklungstheoretischen Diskussion um Migration sollen am Länderbeispiel Moldau diskutiert werden und theoretische Annahmen anhand der konkreten Daten zu Moldau geprüft werden. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass der Zusammenhang von Migration und Entwicklung ein vielschichtiger ist: Migration und Entwicklung bedingen sich gegenseitig. Am Beispiel Moldau wird ersichtlich, dass es sich bei dem Massenphänomen Migration nicht um einen sinnvollen Entwicklungspfad handelt, sondern dass sich die Migration in vielerlei Hinsicht negativ auf die Entwicklung Moldaus auswirkt. In diesem Falle ist Migration auch keine aktive Strategie, sondern ein Zwang, der aus Armut und strukturellen Mängeln entsteht. Ebendiese strukturellen Mängel sind es auch, die verhindern, dass Moldau das positive Potential der Migration seiner Bürger ins Ausland nutzen kann. Entwicklung durch Migration kann sich am Länderbeispiel Moldau derzeit nicht bewahrheitlichen. Um aus dem Teufelskreis steigender Migration und steigendem Migrationsdruck zu entkommen, müssen die Regierung sowie Geber- und Entwicklungsorganisationen Grundlagen schaffen, welche einen fruchtbaren Boden für das Potential der Bürger im Ausland bilden. Erst dann kann Migration Ausdruck einer Entscheidung und nicht eines strukturellen Zwanges sein.
description: This paper analyzes the mutual relationship between migration and development. By reference to the country case of Moldova, core aspects of the theoretical debate on the developmental effect of migration will be discussed. Drawing upon statistical data on Moldova, these theoretical assumptions will be tested. This paper shows that the connection between migration and development is a complex one: migration and development are mutually dependent and correlate in different ways. The example of Moldova shows that the phenomenon of mass migration is not a fruitful path to development; rather, migration negatively affects the country’s development in many ways. In this particular case, migration does not constitute an active strategy pursued by individuals, but a constraint resulting from poverty and structural deficiencies. These very structural deficiencies also impede Moldova from harnessing the positive potential of its migrant population abroad. Development through migration is a theory that does not apply to the case of contemporary Moldova. In order to break out of the vicious circle of growing migration and increasing reasons to migrate, the government and donors must create the institutional framework that is indispensable for putting the migrants’ remittances to use. Only then can migration be the result of a voluntary decision and not of a structural constraint.

Heat transfer enhancement in microchannels with liquid-liquid slug flow
Creators: name: Bandara, P.M.Thilaksiri
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The use of microchannels for fluid conduits has significant advantages in a variety of applications. Some of these applications include heat exchangers, micro-reactors, lab-on-a-chip, micro-electronics cooling, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Two-phase flow without phase change can radically increase the heat and mass transfer rates in microchannels due to the internal recirculation of the fluids. These two-phase flows are either made up of gas–liquid or immiscible liquid–liquid slug flows. Liquid-liquid slug flow has gained more attention recently due to the better thermal properties of liquids compared to gases. While there have been extensive studies on gas-liquid slug flow, there is little information available on liquid-liquid slug flow, particularly during heat transfer.

Thus, this research presents the hydrodynamics and thermal characteristics of liquid-liquid slug flows in micro/mini channels.The research project involves both experimental and numerical investigations and the study is categorised into three main components; namely slug flow formation and visualization, pressure drop measurements and heat transfer studies. Both experimental and numerical studies showed a significant increase of heat transfer rates in liquid-liquid slug flow compared to it single phase counterpart. The modelling and experiments were carried out for a wide range of flow parameters, and the effect of those parameters on heat transfer is presented.

description: Previous researchers have proposed intelligent systems for therapeutic monitoring of cognitive impairments. However, most existing practical approaches for this purpose are based on manual tests. This raises issues such as excessive caretaking effort and the white-coat effect. To avoid these issues, we present an intelligent conversational system for entertaining elderly people with news of their interest that monitors cognitive impairment transparently. Automatic chatbot dialogue stages allow assessing content description skills and detecting cognitive impairment with Machine Learning algorithms. We create these dialogue flows automatically from updated news items using Natural Language Generation techniques. The system also infers the gold standard of the answers to the questions, so it can assess cognitive capabilities automatically by comparing these answers with the user responses. It employs a similarity metric with values in [0, 1], in increasing level of similarity. To evaluate the performance and usability of our approach, we have conducted field tests with a test group of 30 elderly people in the earliest stages of dementia, under the supervision of gerontologists. In the experiments, we have analysed the effect of stress and concentration in these users. Those without cognitive impairment performed up to five times better. In particular, the similarity metric varied between 0.03, for stressed and unfocused participants, and 0.36, for relaxed and focused users. Finally, we developed a Machine Learning algorithm based on textual analysis features for automatic cognitive impairment detection, which attained accuracy, F-measure and recall levels above 80%. We have thus validated the automatic approach to detect cognitive impairment in elderly people based on entertainment content.

description: This article focuses on the study of lactating sows, where the main interest is the influence of temperature, measured throughout the day, on the lower quantiles of the daily feed intake. We outline a model framework and estimation methodology for quantile regression in scenarios with longitudinal data and functional covariates. The quantile regression model uses a time-varying regression coefficient function to quantify the association between covariates and the quantile level of interest, and it includes subject-specific intercepts to incorporate within-subject dependence. Estimation relies on spline representations of the unknown coefficient functions, and can be carried out with existing software. We introduce bootstrap procedures for bias adjustment and computation of standard errors. Analysis of the lactation data indicates, among others, that the influence of temperature increases during the lactation period.

description: We relate two different proposals to extend the étale topology into homotopy theory, namely via the notion of finite cover introduced by Mathew and via the notion of separable commutative algebra introduced by Balmer. We show that finite covers are precisely those separable commutative algebras with underlying dualizable module, which have a locally constant and finite degree function. We then use Galois theory to classify separable commutative algebras in numerous categories of interest. Examples include the category of modules over a connective $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring $R$ which is either connective or even periodic with $π_0(R)$ regular Noetherian in which $2$ acts invertibly, the stable module category of a finite group of $p$-rank one and the derived category of a qcqs scheme.

Understanding the role of network governance on corporate social responsibility: a case study of a government-organised NGO in China

subject: Accounting, auditing and accountability not elsewhere classified

description: China brings a novel setting for corporate social responsibility (CSR) featuring a state-led model. The often lagged and inflexible top-down regulation approach to CSR in China has yielded less productive responses, providing a silver lining to collaborative governance engagement from NGOs. Bearing extensive hybridity characteristics, government-organised non-governmental organisations (GONGOs) in China have played important roles in forging governance networks to tackle social and environmental challenges. Despite this, extant literature lacks a network-level, contextualised examination of this phenomenon. Embracing the networked governance perspective in responsive regulation theory, this research seeks to enrich the CSR literature by offering new governance insights into the GONGO-regulator-business interactions. This research purposively selects the Red Cross Society of China as an exemplar GONGO to pursue a two-stage case study approach to data collection and analysis. The first stage investigates how GONGOs enhance CSR governance capacity and legitimacy through interactions with internal and external networked actors; the second stage examines how networked governance approaches are applied to business actors and how companies perceive and respond to such governance. The findings suggest that GONGOs strategically trade on their hybrid identity and capitalise on their governance network to coordinate the escalation of rewarding incentives, threatening punishment, and capacity building on CSR practices. Such networked governance efforts yield mixed responses from business actors in which improved self-regulation, sustained co-regulation, co-optation, forum shifting, and disengagement are observed. This research contributes to a rich, contextual and in-depth empirical investigation, providing insight and understanding of the role of networked governance on CSR in China. This research is the first known study to specifically explore the role of GONGOs' governance in CSR.

description: Point clouds arise from acquisition processes applied in various scenarios, such as reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, or cultural preservation. To run various simulations via, e.g., finite element methods, on the derived data, a mesh has to be created from it. In this paper, a meshing algorithm for point clouds is presented, which is based on a sphere covering of the underlying surface. The algorithm provides a mesh close to uniformity in terms of edge lengths and angles of its triangles. Additionally, theoretical results guarantee the output to be manifold, given suitable input and parameter choices. We present both the underlying theory, which provides suitable parameter bounds, as well as experiments showing that our algorithm can compete with widely used competitors in terms of quality of the output and timings.
Hydrodynamic transfer of liquid metal droplets across liquid-liquid interfaces
Creators: name: Gol, Berrak
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Micro-scale liquid metal droplets have been hailed as the potential key building blocks of future micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). However, most of the current liquid metal enabled systems involve millimeter-scale droplets, which are manually injected onto the desired locations of the system. Despite simplicity, this method is impractical for patterning large arrays or complex systems based on micro-scale droplets. Techniques that can generate and process uniform liquid metal droplets on demand would be greatly preferred.

The purpose of my PhD research is to develop microfluidic systems capable of continuous generation of micro scale liquid metal droplets in highly viscous liquids such as glycerol, and transfer them into secondary liquids such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) hydrodynamically.

A comprehensive set of experiments utilising high-speed imaging and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are conducted to investigate the dynamics of liquid metal droplets with single and double liquid-liquid interfaces while transitioning into the secondary liquids. The results indicate that the transition of continuously generated liquid metal droplets from glycerol into NaOH occur under the combined effect of hydrodynamic lift force (due to different viscosities of glycerol and NaOH) and surface tension gradient force (due to different interfacial tensions between the droplet and the liquids).

 Transition of droplets is quite ordered and predictable in the presence of a single liquid-liquid interface unlike the system with double liquid-liquid interface where the dynamics of droplets depends on the shape of the glycerol core (which in turn depend on the flow rate of the NaOH), and the transition can become disordered, semi-ordered or ordered. Moreover, the direction of transitioning droplets can be hydrodynamically controlled by mismatching the flow rates of the two NaOH streams in a double liquid-liquid interface system. Minimum flow rate mismatch of 150 µl/min between the two NaOH streams is required to change the direction of the droplets where droplets transit into the stream with higher flow rate.

This platform offers continuous and selective hydrodynamic transfer of micro scale Galinstan droplets into NaOH stream, which can be integrated into other microfluidic platforms to enable liquid metal droplet based systems for a variety of applications in microfluidics, MEMS, soft electronics and reconfigurable devices.

description: More and more, contemporary electronic games are transcending the player-versus-machine model, incorporating to varying degrees new types of social play, where individuals can interact with each other in a state of ‘telecopresence’ in immersive, three-dimensional virtual worlds. Yet we are faced with the puzzle of adequately understanding the meanings of these experiences of play in the absence of the physical body. Given that in many cases players only interact with each other indirectly through their virtual player characters, how can we interpret the meanings of play within contemporary virtual game worlds? Using the popular game World of Warcraft as a case study, this thesis attempts to answer this question via an ethnography primarily informed by a revised conception of the phenomenological sociology of Schutz (1899-1959), and drawing upon other notable technology writers such as Heidegger, Ihde, and Dreyfus, to explore the nature of mediated social action in the virtual fantasy game world of World of Warcraft. Using auto-ethnographic evidence, the thesis examines some of the experiential aspects of play-as-practice, player knowledge and expertise, and social relations, contending that play in World of Warcraft can be typically understood as a substantial commitment by the player that is multifaceted and heavily contingent upon the game’s design in regards to the richness of social exchange in the game world.

Corporate risk disclosure, upper management characteristics, ownership structure and firm value: Malaysian evidence
Creators: name: Mohd Ali, Mazurina
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this study is to investigate the nature, extent and determinants of risk information disclosed, using the context of corporate reporting in Malaysia. Key management personnel and controlling shareholders are chosen as the two types of players expected to influence corporate risk disclosure decisions. In terms of key management personnel, this study draws on upper echelons theory to develop hypotheses about the effects of demographic and other background influences of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chair of Audit Committee (CAC) on corporate risk disclosure. In respect of ownership structure, aspects of agency theory are invoked to develop hypotheses about the effect of different categories of controlling shareholders on corporate risk disclosure decisions. Additionally, in order to establish the value-relevance of risk disclosures in annual reports, this study draws on the ‘clean-surplus valuation model’ to examine the association between the nature and extent of risk disclosures and the companies’ share price.
title: "[...] unsterblicher Schatz einer so wahrhaften deutschen Kunst"
Creators: name: Keusch, Nikolaus
Year: 2009

description: Im Nationalsozialismus wurde auf höchster politischer Ebene eine „Umwertung“ der deutschen Romantik vorangetrieben, die auf eine ideologische Einbindung der historischen Bewegung in den Wertekanon des „Dritten Reiches“ abzielte. Neben einem dilettantischen Romantikverständnis innerhalb des nationalsozialistischen Machtzentrums entwickelte sich ein breiter wissenschaftlicher Diskurs an den Universitäten und in Fachkreisen. Dieser Diskurs stand in einer offenkundigen Wechselbeziehung zur politischen Doktrin. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Untersuchung galt es, die kunsthistorische Rezeption der deutschen Romantik zwischen 1933 und 1945 im Kontext des NS-Regimes zu untersuchen. Dabei wurde einschlägige Literatur des nationalsozialistischen Kunstdiskurses ausgewertet und kommentiert.

description: The dehydrogenation activity of Ni in the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst can cause the catalyst deactivation and the formation of coke deposit at an expense of gasoline yield. Ni speciation and NiO quantification in FCC catalysts were studied sporadically. As the Ni content in catalysts increases, new passivators with stronger capability need to be explored. Therefore, Ni speciation, NiO quantification and methods to combat nickel poisoning were explored. The new Ni passivating elements selected from a large number of possible elements are expected to combat Ni poisoning of catalysts in refineries and improve the understanding of Ni passivation mechanisms.
THE POLITICS OF SOCIAL HISTORY IN EARLY TURKISH EPICS: REMEMBERING GENDER, FAMILY AND SOVEREIGNTY

description: The early Turkish epic tradition is relatively understudied, and many existing works focus on using Turkish epics to reconstruct earlier eras without fully understanding their role in the period from which the manuscripts date. Using a translation of Battalname based on the earliest fifteenth and sixteenth century manuscripts, and a translation of two sixteenth century manuscripts of The Book of Dede Korkut , this work examines the social context of Turkish literature in Anatolia in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as well as its relation to the social world of epic society. A memory studies framing is used to situate the works and understand their role as a fifteenth and sixteenth century depiction of the past. Chapters are devoted to the role of literature in society, including circulation and reading practices, creation of Turkish literature and the vernacularization process, as well as to the role of women, men and gender, and to the structure and political significance of the family.

description: Il rapporto tra linguaggio comune e lingua del sottosettore giuridico si alimenta in modo costante e reciproco. La lingua del diritto, al pari di quella comune, è strumento di comunicazione di regole; esige comprensione, condivisione ed attuazione del comando e, pur nel proprio contesto ordinamentale, si alimenta dei contenuti di significato del linguaggio comune. Il degrado del nostro patrimonio linguistico, accentuato nella fase della pandemia, conduce ad uno sfaldamento di tale rapporto con conseguenze che travalicano la sfera linguistica per incidere sulla certezza del diritto, sulla condivisione e partecipazione, cardini del consenso democratico.

The relationship between common language and the legal subsector’s one feeds off each other constantly and reciprocally. The language of law, like the common language, is a tool for communicating rules; it demands understanding, sharing, and implementation of command and, while in its own jurisdictional context, feeds on the meaning content of the common language.
The degradation of our linguistic heritage, accentuated in the pandemic phase, leads to a breakdown of this relationship with consequences that go beyond the linguistic sphere to affect legal certainty, sharing and participation, the cornerstones of democratic consensus.

description: Based on the upcoming 2010 World Expo of Shanghai. According to 'moving out' policy of Shanghai government, a large percentage of residents from Shanghai's old downtown area are being moved out to a district on the outskirts of the municipality. In the context of moving out policy and shifting community space of 'Longtang' residents, my research explores how water can be used to forge a new typology for the Xinji residential area in developing Shanghai. The new typology of residential area is defined by a new type of community space. Water, edge and corridor are examined as three main concepts to create this kind of new community space, where residents can be provided with diverse spatial experience and various spatial effects through spatial transformations in and between private and public and diverse programs in a residential area. 'Longtang' is one of the key precedents I am looking at for the purpose of studying water edge conditions and corridor conditions, and to deduce a way to best design hybrid community in the Xinji residential area, which is selected as my research site. It is identified as one of the peripheral node for the moving out policy by Shanghai government? My research, therefore, tries to explore a new typology of Xinji residential area, which can provide both existing residents and 'Longtang' residents with diverse water based community space in the residential area and its context.
title: Identität, Motivation und Aggression im Fußball
Creators: name: Simlinger, Werner

description: Ziel der Arbeit war, die Unterschiede bezüglich Identität, Motivation und Aggression zwischen den Fans von Austria Salzburg und Red Bull Salzburg heraus zu arbeiten. Nachdem die drei Begriffe in Bezug auf die Fragestellung geklärt worden sind, wurde auf die Besucherstruktur im Stadion näher eingegangen. Anschließend wurde die Übernahme von Austria Salzburg im Jahre 2005 durch Dietrich Mateschitz, dem Gründer von Red Bull, beleuchtet, die Grundlage für diese Arbeit war. Denn ein Großteil der Fans war mit der Vereinspolitik von Dietrich Mateschitz und mit der fortschreitenden Kommerzialisierung im Fußball, die in Salzburg besonders zum Ausdruck kam, nicht einverstanden und gründete daraufhin einen eigenen Verein, der in der untersten Spielklasse Österreichs startete. In weiterer Folge wurde quantitativ-empirisch ermittelt, ob Unterschiede in beiden Fangruppen gegeben sind. Es konnten Unterschiede bei personaler und sozialer Identität festgestellt werden. Austria-Salzburg-Fans sehen sich signifikant mehr als Fan ihrer Mannschaft als die Red-Bull-Salzburg-Fans. Das bedeutet, dass sie sich mehr mit ihrem Verein identifizieren können. In allen drei Aggressionskategorien, körperliche Aggression, Streitverhalten und Meinungsäußerung haben die Red-Bull-Salzburg-Fans signifikant niedrigere Werte als die Austria-Salzburg-Fans. Interessant sind die Ergebnisse natürlich in Hinblick auf die Übernahme von Austria Salzburg im Jahre 2005 durch Red Bull. Dietrich Mateschitz begrüßte damals die Abspaltung von einem seiner Meinung nach gewaltbereiten Publikum. Aggression ist für Austria-Salzburg-Fans auch ein wichtigeres Motiv, ins Stadion zu gehen, als für Red-Bull-Salzburg-Fans, für die der Erfolg der eigenen Mannschaft von höherer Bedeutung ist. Das lässt den Schluss zu, dass bei negativen Ergebnissen des Red-Bull-Salzburg-Teams die Fans ausbleiben würden. Bei folgenden Punkten unterscheiden sich die befragten Fangruppen beider Mannschaften nicht: Sie sind Anhänger und Anhängerin ihres Teams und besuchen Matches ihrer Mannschaft, weil sie soziale Kontakte knüpfen und pflegen wollen und die Spannung im Stadion genießen.
