An online survey experiment was conducted in which hypothetical candidates with varying gender, biographical information, and policy positions on issues were presented to respondents. The experiment found that respondents did not distinguish between male and female candidates with similar policy positions, and primarily based their evaluation on how much they agreed with the candidates' presented policy positions rather than gender. The study also found that female candidates could overcome issues of competence stereotypes by highlighting their specific policy positions. This illustrates that the availability of information about candidates' policy positions is more influential for voters than gender cues alone.

Major research methods
The document discusses various primary and secondary research methods that can be used for social research. It provides examples and advantages and disadvantages of two primary and two secondary research methods.
For primary methods it discusses direct observation, where a researcher observes a group without becoming a member. Advantages include noting non-verbal cues and unexpected events, while disadvantages include potential personal bias and reactivity. It also discusses interviews which can provide additional insight but may not be as useful as direct observation.
For secondary methods it discusses official statistics which can help form hypotheses and allow comparisons, but may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. It also discusses mass media reports which can similarly help research but rely on other sources and may become outdated.

The study examined how peer networks of female college freshmen related to their romantic involvement. It found that freshmen who were not dating had significantly more female friends and friends living on campus than those who were in a relationship. This suggests that non-dating freshmen felt more comfortable with close social support networks of other females and those nearby. However, the study found few other significant differences and its hypothesis that dating freshmen would have larger, more gender diverse networks was not supported. Limitations included condensed data that ignored cultural and age differences.
Attitudes on Police Poster
This study examined implicit attitudes toward police officers and whether they correlate with other factors. The researchers administered implicit and explicit measures of attitudes toward police, as well as measures of social dominance orientation, right-wing authoritarianism, political views, and preferred news sources, to 74 undergraduate students. Surprisingly, those who obtained most of their news from CNN had more negative implicit attitudes toward police officers. However, the hypothesis that conservatives would have more positive police attitudes was not supported. The researchers call for future studies with larger, more diverse samples to better understand media influences on implicit political and authority attitudes.

This document discusses methods for conducting comparative survey research across multiple countries and cultures. It identifies three types of cross-national surveys: replicated surveys, planned surveys for two or more countries, and international surveys. Conducting comparative research presents challenges like selecting representative country samples, establishing ethical standards, and achieving inter-cultural equivalence in sampling, questionnaires, and interview procedures. The goal is functional rather than just formal equivalence, where the meanings of survey questions are identical across different cultural contexts.

The document discusses research on the effectiveness of polygraph testing in the treatment of sex offenders. Several studies found that polygraph testing promotes honesty, increases self-disclosure of offenses, and prevents reoffending. However, other research challenges the validity and accuracy of polygraphs. Overall, while polygraphs appear to increase reported information from sex offenders, limitations exist regarding reliability and further research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness.

Social Networks & HIV Risk Behavior Using Respondent-Driven Sampling
This document summarizes a study that used Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) to recruit a diverse sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) across different social networks in New York City. The researchers recruited initial participants, or "seeds," from six social networks: bars/clubs, internet/mobile apps, bathhouses/sex clubs, colleges, professional organizations, and community centers. They screened 393 men at bars/clubs and enrolled 223 eligible participants. Preliminary results found that most participants reported their primary residence as Manhattan and sex with men only in the past year. Participants reported professional organizations as the most important venue for meeting other men, followed by the internet/mobile apps and bars/clubs, with

The document discusses different frameworks for understanding biculturalism: outcome-oriented, transitional, and process-oriented. Outcome-oriented frameworks view biculturalism as a group-based characteristic and focus on subtractive or additive characteristics. Transitional frameworks see it as an individual process along a linear dimension. Process-oriented frameworks consider biculturalism as a multidimensional experience that varies situationally. The implications of biculturalism for communication are also examined.
Stanford Haas Center 20th Anniversary Alumni Survey
This document provides a preliminary executive summary of a survey of over 1,500 alumni from Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service. The summary finds that:
1) Most respondents participated in multiple public service activities as students, such as student organizations and Haas Center community programs.
2) After graduation, respondents were more likely to work in the non-profit or public sectors than the general population and rated their jobs as socially relevant.
3) Participation in intensive service activities as a student, such as fellowships or service-learning courses, correlated with greater influence of public service on post-graduate career paths, education, and civic engagement.

This study aims to examine how political knowledge affects political participation differently for men and women. Specifically, it aims to refute the view that women benefit more from political knowledge than men. The study hypothesizes that political knowledge may actually depress political participation for some groups. It will analyze data on over 1,500 Americans to test how political participation rates vary with political knowledge levels for men and women, as well as for introverted and extroverted personality types. Previous literature commonly finds that women gain more politically from knowledge than men, but the author argues the data does not clearly support this claim and may show men participating less as knowledge increases.

This internship abstract examines the relationship between socioeconomic factors and presidential primary outcomes in swing states in 2016. The intern will use quantitative analysis to determine if a state's race, gender, political culture, and workforce participation affected whether candidates won primaries or caucuses. Preliminary descriptive statistics found non-minority populations correlated with certain candidates' success and inverse relationships between Democratic and Republican candidates. Workforce factors also correlated with outsider candidates' vote percentages. Further regression analysis was planned to estimate the predictive power of states' compositions.
Econometric Analysis
Here are the key points about the variables:
- Age and age-squared are included because age is commonly found to impact voter turnout. Age-squared accounts for non-linearity.
- Income is included through low-income and medium-income dummy variables based on research finding a non-linear relationship between income and turnout.
- Education is included through low-education and medium-education dummy variables as higher education is found to increase likelihood to vote.
- Employment status is included as some research found employment decreases turnout.
- Religious status, political trust, political interest, and charity involvement are included as social/civic engagement factors found to increase likelihood to vote.

To What Extent is Political Campaign Solicitation Gendered in the United Stat...
This document provides a literature review of existing research on the gender gap in political campaign donations in the United States. It finds that while women have increasingly participated in voting, their financial contributions to political campaigns have remained stagnant at around 25-30% for decades. Existing literature has not adequately addressed why this gender disparity exists, often attributing it to outdated assumptions about women's socioeconomic status. The review identifies a gap in research focusing specifically on gender variations in campaign fundraising practices and the role of political fundraisers. This paper aims to help fill that gap through interviews exploring how fundraisers view and solicit donations from male and female donors.
IS 201 - Post-Survey Recommendations Executive Summary
This document summarizes a survey conducted of 211 University of Waterloo students to examine voter turnout among young adults and post-secondary students. The survey found that students who volunteered of their own free will or studied socially engaged disciplines had significantly higher rates of voting than those who did not. However, volunteering with friends did not impact voting rates. While socially engaged students generally vote, 66% reported apathy as their reason for not voting in past elections. The survey results suggest that efforts to increase voter turnout may be better focused on intrinsically motivating less socially engaged students and providing tools for students to form political stances.

1) Campaigns spend large amounts on political advertising, including direct mail, to increase the likelihood that voters will recognize and support their candidate.
2) The study examines the effects of partisan campaign mailers through two field experiments collaborating with state legislative campaigns.
3) The findings show that mailers can affect name recognition of candidates, though effects on evaluations were less clear. Both negative and positive mailers increased intent to turn out, but timing appears important, as effects diminished closer to the election.
Philippine Violent Elections 2022
This document provides an overview of a research proposal that aims to examine the relationship between legislative electoral systems and rival-motivated electoral contestation, specifically electoral protest and violence, in new democratic and transitional regimes. The theoretical framework proposes that weaker electoral institutions and governance in these regimes, combined with an inappropriate electoral system, can trigger disputes over election results. Specifically, it is hypothesized that proportional representation systems may lead to lower levels of contestation compared to non-proportional systems. The research methodology section outlines plans for a comparative case study of multiple countries, examining variables such as electoral system type, institutionalization level, and incidence of protest and violence. Definitions of key concepts and terms are also provided.
Final Draft
The document discusses a proposed experiment on the voting behaviors of young voters. It aims to test whether exposing young voters to facts about political candidates affects how they vote based on logic rather than popularity. The experiment would have three groups: a control group exposed to candidate biographies and a post-test, and two treatment groups additionally exposed to alternating facts about candidates' policies and given a post-test. The experiment hopes to show that with more information, young voters will make informed choices at the ballot box. Previous research discussed found that young voters with less life experience and knowledge tended to vote based more on popularity than issues.

This document summarizes a study examining the role of political parties in promoting or preventing electoral conflict and violence in Zambia. The study assessed the effectiveness of political parties' conflict resolution mechanisms, their adherence to the electoral code of conduct, and their interaction with other stakeholders. It found that political parties contribute to violence due to ineffective internal conflict resolution, lack of enforcement of the code of conduct, and lack of trust in electoral institutions. Political parties should establish clear codes of conduct and educate supporters to help prevent electoral violence in Zambia.

Introduction, problem statement, and purpose
Introduction
Historically, the rates of participation of Black women in the labor force have been studied. Many studies have found high labor force participation in this category. Despite the high number, Women of color have not reached economic equity with other ethnic and gender groups as they have to bear the burden of gender and racial discrimination in the workplace. The discrimination represents a considerable potential source of problems such as job-related stress and low income compared to their peers. As a result, the discrimination is reflected in other areas such as the inequities, personal and financial advancements.
Workplace discrimination manifests itself in multiple ways that may range from intentional and overt to subtle and ambiguous, as well as from institutional to personal whether through organizational processes, profiling or statistical discrimination. It operates differently in different domains and may cumulate with time across or within domains. Regardless of which form workplace racial and gender discrimination takes, it creates barriers to opportunities and equal treatment and can have negative effects on a range of outcomes. Due to the nature of the problem, historical and ethnographic studies on African American Women provide important textural details about the impact that the practice may have on individuals, organization and the economy. As a result, organizations have implemented policies to prevent discriminatory practices in the workplace against minority groups. Additionally, the current law prohibits discrimination on the basis of a range of characteristics. Due to these changes, there is a need to determine whether workplace discrimination against African-American Women still persists despite the measures available. This research work will make an important contribution to this field by assessing the level of discrimination against women of color in today’s workplace.
Problem statement
Despite evidence that workplace discrimination has significant impacts on the lives of the victims and well as the organizations that allow it, little is known about the level of discrimination following anti-discrimination policies and laws. Additionally, only a few researchers have assessed the level of workplace discrimination against African-American women. A lot of studies aim to explain racial differences in women's employment such as occupational mobility, earnings, and labor force participation rates. Although these studies serve their purposes, they tell us little about the actual level of workplace discrimination or factors that influence it.
Hence, the empirical knowledge about how conditions at work influence job experiences among African American women is inadequate. For example, studies of job conditions such as low decision-making authority, low task var.
Stereotype Threat and the Gender Gap in Political Knowledge
This study examined whether stereotype threat contributes to the observed gender gap in political knowledge. Researchers conducted phone surveys of college students, varying the interviewer's gender and information provided about the test. They found that women scored higher when interviewed by other women or when told the test was non-diagnostic of gender differences. The results suggest that concerns over confirming negative stereotypes can negatively influence women's scores on political knowledge tests.
Aimoneetal2018 altruisticpunishment voting_ejpe_resub_march_2017
This document discusses a study on altruistic punishment in elections. The study uses a voting experiment to provide evidence that many voters are willing to vote at a cost to punish candidates who broke electoral promises, even when the voter is indifferent to the election outcome. Specifically, the experiment found that at least 14% of indifferent voters chose to vote against a candidate who broke a promise, incurring a personal cost to do so, indicating they voted based on altruistic punishment motives rather than strategic concerns. This provides quantitative evidence that altruistic punishment, the desire to sanction uncooperative behavior, can influence political voting decisions.

This study examined factors that influence students' decision-making and satisfaction with campus e-voting in Malaysia.
The researcher administered a questionnaire to 150 students and analyzed the data using statistical methods. Key findings:
1) Perceived knowledge, commitment to vote, involvement, and voters' confidence positively impacted students' satisfaction with campus e-voting, supporting four of the six hypotheses.
2) Trust in the e-voting system was found to moderate the relationship between several determinants and satisfaction.
3) Students with higher perceived knowledge about parties/candidates displayed greater satisfaction, as their knowledge allowed for informed decision-making.
Q36143161
This document summarizes a research paper on the poor representation of women in political decision-making structures in Cameroon. It discusses the recruitment mechanisms that hinder women's participation, including how political parties tend to select charismatic male leaders who can guarantee electoral success. It also examines how the supply and demand factors affect the selection of candidates, noting that women are less likely to see themselves as politically motivated and face social and financial barriers. Educational requirements also disadvantage many women from being appointed to high-ranking political and administrative roles. Overall, the recruitment mechanisms and patriarchal norms in Cameroonian society limit women's access to leadership positions.

This document provides a literature review of existing research on the gender gap in political campaign donations in the United States. It finds that while women have increasingly participated in voting, their financial contributions to political campaigns have remained stagnant at around 25-30% for decades. Existing literature has not adequately addressed why this gender disparity exists, often attributing it to outdated assumptions about women's socioeconomic status. The review identifies a gap in research focusing specifically on gender variations in campaign fundraising practices and the role of political fundraisers. This paper aims to help fill that gap through interviews exploring how fundraisers view and solicit donations from male and female donors.

Historically, the rates of participation of Black women in the labor force have been studied. Many studies have found high labor force participation in this category. Despite the high number, Women of color have not reached economic equity with other ethnic and gender groups as they have to bear the burden of gender and racial discrimination in the workplace. The discrimination represents a considerable potential source of problems such as job-related stress and low income compared to their peers. As a result, the discrimination is reflected in other areas such as the inequities, personal and financial advancements.
Workplace discrimination manifests itself in multiple ways that may range from intentional and overt to subtle and ambiguous, as well as from institutional to personal whether through organizational processes, profiling or statistical discrimination. It operates differently in different domains and may cumulate with time across or within domains. Regardless of which form workplace racial and gender discrimination takes, it creates barriers to opportunities and equal treatment and can have negative effects on a range of outcomes. Due to the nature of the problem, historical and ethnographic studies on African American Women provide important textural details about the impact that the practice may have on individuals, organization and the economy. As a result, organizations have implemented policies to prevent discriminatory practices in the workplace against minority groups. Additionally, the current law prohibits discrimination on the basis of a range of characteristics. Due to these changes, there is a need to determine whether workplace discrimination against African-American Women still persists despite the measures available. This research work will make an important contribution to this field by assessing the level of discrimination against women of color in today’s workplace.
Problem statement
Despite evidence that workplace discrimination has significant impacts on the lives of the victims and well as the organizations that allow it, little is known about the level of discrimination following anti-discrimination policies and laws. Additionally, only a few researchers have assessed the level of workplace discrimination against African-American women. A lot of studies aim to explain racial differences in women's employment such as occupational mobility, earnings, and labor force participation rates. Although these studies serve their purposes, they tell us little about the actual level of workplace discrimination or factors that influence it.
Hence, the empirical knowledge about how conditions at work influence job experiences among African American women is inadequate. For example, studies of job conditions such as low decision-making authority, low task var.

Researchers conducted phone surveys of college students, varying the interviewer's gender and information provided about the test. They found that women scored higher when interviewed by other women or when told the test was non-diagnostic of gender differences. The results suggest that concerns over confirming negative stereotypes can negatively influence women's scores on political knowledge tests.
Aimoneetal2018 altruisticpunishment voting_ejpe_resub_march_2017
This document discusses a study on altruistic punishment in elections. The study uses a voting experiment to provide evidence that many voters are willing to vote at a cost to punish candidates who broke electoral promises, even when the voter is indifferent to the election outcome. Specifically, the experiment found that at least 14% of indifferent voters chose to vote against a candidate who broke a promise, incurring a personal cost to do so, indicating they voted based on altruistic punishment motives rather than strategic concerns. This provides quantitative evidence that altruistic punishment, the desire to sanction uncooperative behavior, can influence political voting decisions.

This study examined factors that influence students' decision-making and satisfaction with campus e-voting in Malaysia.
The researcher administered a questionnaire to 150 students and analyzed the data using statistical methods. Key findings:
1) Perceived knowledge, commitment to vote, involvement, and voters' confidence positively impacted students' satisfaction with campus e-voting, supporting four of the six hypotheses.
2) Trust in the e-voting system was found to moderate the relationship between several determinants and satisfaction.
3) Students with higher perceived knowledge about parties/candidates displayed greater satisfaction, as their knowledge allowed for informed decision-making.

This document summarizes a research paper on the poor representation of women in political decision-making structures in Cameroon. It discusses the recruitment mechanisms that hinder women's participation, including how political parties tend to select charismatic male leaders who can guarantee electoral success. It also examines how the supply and demand factors affect the selection of candidates, noting that women are less likely to see themselves as politically motivated and face social and financial barriers. Educational requirements also disadvantage many women from being appointed to high-ranking political and administrative roles. Overall, the recruitment mechanisms and patriarchal norms in Cameroonian society limit women's access to leadership positions.
PIAS - POSTER - 2011
The document summarizes a political issue analysis system (PIAS) project that explored how citizens use the internet to find political information and contact their representatives. Through workshops and interviews, the project found that email is still the main way people contact representatives, and it is difficult for users to discover parties' policy documents or find policies in one place to compare parties. The project produced a prototype and recommendations, including that political parties should make policies more accessible and comparable to support informed debate.

We believe that the police and students would benefit from programs that integrate them on campus to reduce the systematic fear and stress that the students experience.
This program would allow students to shadow campus police, giving students the transparency and insight into the duties and responsibilities of campus police; In the hope that this insight will decrease the levels of stress and fear amongst students.
Hispanic participants has shown the highest mean levels of stress as well as fear from campus police.
Male participants had shown lower levels of stress from campus police compared to the female participants.
Female participants had shown lower levels of fear from campus police compared to male participants.

Gender Equality in Organizational Development of National Human Rights Instit...
This document discusses the importance of mainstreaming gender equality into the organizational development, strategic planning, and communications of national human rights institutions (NHRIs). It outlines four key areas for mainstreaming gender: 1) inclusive planning processes that involve women stakeholders, 2) conducting gender-sensitive situation analyses, 3) assessing plans from a gender perspective to ensure they address needs of both women and men, and 4) defining gender-sensitive indicators and targets to measure progress. It also discusses considering a "gendered public" when designing communications strategies by taking into account how men and women may respond differently to different messages.

The document describes a study that examined the effects of ethnicity and sexual orientation on hiring discrimination in resume evaluations. 108 participants reviewed one of four resumes that varied the applicant's ethnicity (Arab or French) and sexual orientation (homosexual or heterosexual). Participants then rated the resumes on willingness to hire, leadership, work experience, and extracurricular activities. Previous literature found discrimination based on various minority statuses including ethnicity, gender, disability and sexual orientation. The study hypothesized the Arab/homosexual resume would receive the lowest ratings and the French/heterosexual resume the highest. It also hypothesized ethnicity would have a greater impact than sexual orientation.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

How do you know your food is safe?
Last Friday was world World Food Safety Day, facilitated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in which the slogan rightly says, 'food safety is everyone's business'. Due to this, I thought it would be worth sharing some data that I have worked on in this field!
Working at Markes International has really opened my eyes (and unfortunately my friends and family 🤣) to food safety and quality, especially with my recent application work on ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol residues in foodstuffs, as of the biggest global food recalls in history was and is still being implemented by the Rapid alert system for food and feed (RASFF) in 2021, for high levels of these carcinogenic compounds.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

Summary
- 1. VOTERS' EVALUATION OF (CONTRA-) PROTOTYPICAL CANDIDATES METHOD An online survey experiment was designed in which hypothetical candidates were presented to respondents in written messages in which their sex, some biographical information and their policy position on a number of issues were included. The experiment design applied here allows for more nuance of real-world elections to enter the experimental environment by presenting candidates with an outspoken policy position in contrast to the rather centrist and vague policy positions used in previous work. MAIN FINDINGS Respondents do not distinguish between male and female candidates presenting similar policy positions. Respondents are also found to primarily base their evaluation of the presented candidates on the extent to which they agree with the presented policy positions, rather than on their gender. In addition, we also found that female candidates can overcome some of the disadvantages they experience in the area of issue competence stereotypes by highlighting their specific policy positions. This study illustrates that information imbalances potentially have important electoral consequences for women’s representation as the availability of information about candidates’ policy positions is found to trump the effect of the candidate gender cue. An experimental test of the interaction of candidate gender and policy position cues in Flanders (Belgium) Robin Devroe - GASPAR (Ghent University) RESEARCH QUESTIONS Does the inclusion of policy information affects the prevalence of issue competence stereotyping, the most persistent form of political gender stereotypes? And is this effect moderated by the content and the ideological orientation of the presented policy positions? THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The literature on candidate characteristics and voter evaluations describes candidate gender as a low- information heuristic, primarily used when other, policy or candidate, information is absent. When other information is presented, different information cues interact with each other and help voters to form coherent impressions about political candidates. CONCLUSIONS
