Archive as history : Godard, Géricault, Hirschhorn and the Costa Concordia
Creators: name: O'Brien, Jeffrey Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Opening to mixed reviews at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010, Jean-Luc Godard’s “Film Socialisme” explores the intertwined relationships between gold and late capitalism, nationhood and sovereignty, consolidation of wealth and austere economic policies. The 2007-2008 economic crisis and subsequent recession provoked a response from Godard and provided an imperative for the film. Employing the ocean as a metaphor for capitalism, Godard stages the first half of the film on a cruise ship. Overlooking a night-time sea of blackness and white-tipped choppy waves, the prescient narrator announces from the outer- deck, “What is opening up before us resembles an impossible story... we’re facing a sort of zero.” Portending the disaster that occurred on January 13, 2012, the ship Godard elected to film on was the doomed Costa Concordia. This thesis also resembles an impossible story, an archival collision of sorts. In considering art historian Carrie Lambert-Beatty’s notion of “parafiction”—an artistic space of examination where fiction blurs with non-fiction—the grounding of the Costa Concordia provides a metaphor for the possibility of doing history at a time of both economic crisis and catastrophe. By examining the relationship between temporality and fiction within the archive, this thesis considers how artists account for crisis through the construction of an archive that also forms the basis of a historical record. I argue that three otherwise discrete artists, Jean-Luc Godard, Thomas Hirschhorn and Théodore Géricault, provide a framework that constructs a history, one out of many possible histories, of both the Costa Concordia catastrophe of 2012 and the economic crisis—a crisis of liquidity—of 2007-2008. Through a breakdown between fact and fiction within the archive, these three artists provide a dramatic reformulation of the possibility of producing history at this moment of crisis. The archive is the point zero of history to which we must continually return.

Synoptic analysis and simulation of an unusual dust event over the Atacama Desert
Creators: name: Reyers, Mark
name: Hamidi, Mehdi

Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2019

description: An unusual dust event over the Atacama Desert occurred in July 2016. Here, a synoptic study of the event is carried out using the NCEP FNL analysis data and WRF-chem simulations. The “zonalization” of a mid-tropospheric trough leads to the formation of a horizontal convergence band over the Northern Atacama and thus downward wind below it. As the descending air masses warm adiabatically, strong temperature contrasts to the colder air over the western Andes occur and intensify the down-valley winds, thus leading to extraordinary strong easterly winds in the Atacama. Simulations with WRF-chem indicate that these surface winds are sufficient for large-scale dust emission, and simulated dust plumes traveling far over the eastern South Pacific agree well with the observations. As the integrated dust load is comparable with the load observed in major dust sources of the world, our findings highlight the importance of such unusual events.

description: In transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) systems, the rotation of a scanned sample might be restricted to a limited angular range to avoid collision with other system parts or high attenuation at certain tilting angles. Image reconstruction from such limited angle data suffers from artifacts because of missing data. In this work, deep learning is applied to limited angle reconstruction in TXMs for the first time. With the challenge to obtain sufficient real data for training, training a deep neural network from synthetic data is investigated. In particular, U-Net, the state-of-the-art neural network in biomedical imaging, is trained from synthetic ellipsoid data and multi-category data to reduce artifacts in filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction images. The proposed method is evaluated on synthetic data and real scanned chlorella data in 100° limited angle tomography. For synthetic test data, U-Net significantly reduces the root-mean-square error (RMSE) from 2.55 × 10−3 µm−1 in the FBP reconstruction to 1.21 × 10−3 µm−1 in the U-Net reconstruction and also improves the structural similarity (SSIM) index from 0.625 to 0.920. With penalized weighted least-square denoising of measured projections, the RMSE and SSIM are further improved to 1.16 × 10−3 µm−1 and 0.932, respectively. For real test data, the proposed method remarkably improves the 3D visualization of the subcellular structures in the chlorella cell, which indicates its important value for nanoscale imaging in biology, nanoscience and materials science.

Stress and coping in law enforcement
Creators: name: Della-Rossa, Irina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Stress at work is related to a decrease in performance, psychological disorders and errors made under impaired conditions, and it affects one’s personal life. Police officers experience stress-provoking situations, such as high-speed chases, car accidents, shootings, and crimes in progress. They are also exposed to witnessing a range of traumatic events, such as death or injuries, as a part of their job. The consequences of stress for the police officers include physical and psychological disorders, decreased performance, and in some cases inability to perform their duties. The purpose of this study was to examine the occupational stress of police officers in a large metropolitan area in Western Canada; to examine the differences in stressful experiences of men and women police officers; and to explore the differences and patterns in coping strategies employed by men and women police officers in this sample. A package of surveys and questionnaires were administered to police officers from all of the sections of Operational Division of the Police department. The findings indicated that the officers experienced more stress from the organizational part of their work, than operational, and there was no difference found between men and women. Male and female officers also did not differ in the frequency of the use of coping strategies, except in the usage of instrumental support (for example, seeking assistance, information, or advice about what to do). Women used this coping strategy more often than men did. Men and women differed in patterns of coping with the stress. Implications for counselling and future research are discussed.

How Useful Is a Linear Ozone Parameterization for Global Climate Modeling?
Creators: name: Meraner, Katharina
name: Rast, Sebastian
name: Schmidt, Hauke
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2020

description: The explicit calculation of stratospheric ozone in global climate models still comes at a high computational cost. Here, the usefulness of a linear ozone parameterization in a global climate model is assessed by comparing it to an explicit chemistry scheme and to observations. It is shown that the annual mean total ozone column and the tropical ozone profile agree well for the linear and the explicit chemistry schemes and the observations. Ozone variability caused by the quasi-biennial oscillation and by extratropical quasi-stationary planetary waves is reproduced qualitatively, but its magnitude is underestimated in particular in the simulations using the linear parameterization. The response of ozone to a quadrupling of CO 2 simulated with both schemes is in the range of earlier simulations with explicit schemes. This concerns in particular ozone decreases in the tropical lower stratosphere and increases above predicted as a consequence of a strengthening of tropical upwelling and potentially affecting climate sensitivity. This study demonstrates that despite existing weaknesses a linear ozone parameterization can be a useful tool to represent stratospheric ozone in climate models at negligible computational cost.
Growth and water relations of riparian poplar forests under pressure in Central Asia's Tarim River Basin
Creators: name: Thomas, Frank M.
name: Lang, Petra
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2020

description: The riparian forests in the Tarim Basin (NW China) are mainly composed of poplar species (Populus euphratica, Populus pruinosa). In the hyper-arid climate of this region, the trees are phreatophytes, which rely on access to groundwater. Essential ecosystem services (ESS) of these forests comprise provisioning, regulating, and cultural services. The ESS of the forests are threatened by overuse and a continuous decrease in the groundwater level due to excessive use of water for agriculture, which resulted in a severe reduction of the poplar forest area during the past decades. Studies revealed that the wood of the forests could be sustainably used through a moderate harvesting intensity. Rejuvenation of the forests from seeds is only possible after sediment deposition and wetting of the soil surface upon flooding and at relatively short distances to the groundwater. At sites with larger groundwater distances, trees can only regenerate vegetatively through root suckers emerging from underground root spacers. With increasing distance from the water table, the stands become older and sparser and, ultimately, are doomed to die off. The research results can contribute to develop suitable management schemes for the conservation and protection of Central Asia's riparian forests. The lower reaches of the Tarim River have been subjected to a water release programme for the past 20 years. We recommend focusing the diversion of such additional (“ecological”) water to stands with a short distance to the groundwater to keep these forests fully functional and to maintain their ability to regenerate from seeds.

Characterization of a novel autonomous analyzer for seawater total alkalinity: Results from laboratory and field tests
Creators: name: Seelmann, Katharina

Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2019

description: Abstract High-quality seawater total alkalinity (AT) measurements are essential for reliable ocean carbon and acidification observations. Well-established manual multipoint potentiometric titration methods already fulfill these requirements. The next step in the improvement of these observations is the increase of the spatial and temporal measuring resolution with minimal personnel and instrumental effort. For this, a rapid, automated underway analyzer meeting the same high requirements as the traditional method is necessary. In this study, we carried out a comprehensive characterization of the flow-through analyzer CONTROS HydroFIA® TA (Kongsberg Maritime Contros GmbH, Kiel, Germany) for automated seawater AT measurements in the laboratory and in field with overall more than 5000 measurements. Under laboratory conditions, the analyzer featured a precision of ± 1.5 μmol kg−1 and an accuracy of ± 1.0 μmol kg−1, combined in an uncertainty of 1.6 – 2.0 μmol kg−1. High precision (± 1.1 μmol kg−1) and accuracy (−0.3 ± 2.8 μmol kg−1), and low uncertainty (2.0 – 2.5 μmol kg−1) were also achieved during field trials of 4 and 6 weeks duration. Although a linear drift appears to be the typical behavior of the system, this can be corrected for by regular reference measurements giving consistent measurement results. Another advantage of regular reference measurements is the early detection of any kind of malfunction due to its direct impact on the measurement performance. Based on the present study, recommendations for automated long-term deployments are provided in order to gain optimal performance characteristics, aiming at the requirements for AT measurements.

No Cookie for Climate Change

name: Albern, N.
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2019

description: Climate change leads to changes in cloud-radiative heating, which previous work showed have a substantial impact on the response of the atmospheric circulation to climate change. We here compare to what extent this cloud-radiative impact in models can be diagnosed by the locking method and the Cookie method. We show that the locking method reliably diagnoses the cloud-radiative impact. In contrast, the Cookie method, which is easier to use and valuable for studying how the presence of clouds affects the present-day circulation, is inadequate in the context of climate change. It misdiagnoses the cloud-radiative impact and misses robust aspects of it, including the poleward circulation expansion. We argue that this is related to strong changes in the control climate and water vapor that arise from making clouds transparent to radiation. Our results highlight the need for dedicated locking simulations in the context of climate change.

description: Knowledge of the appearance of texture components and fibres in pole figures, in inverse pole figures and in Euler space is fundamental for texture analysis. For cubic crystal systems, such as steels, an extensive literature exists and, for example, the book by Matthies, Vinel & Helming [Standard Distributions in Texture Analysis: Maps for the Case of Cubic Orthorhomic Symmetry, (1987), Akademie-Verlag Berlin] provides an atlas to identify texture components. For lower crystal symmetries, however, equivalent comprehensive overviews that can serve as guidance for the interpretation of experimental textures do not exist. This paper closes this gap by providing a set of scripts for the MTEX package [Bachmann, Hielscher & Schaeben (2010). Solid State Phenom.160, 63–68] that allow the texture practitioner to compile such an atlas for a given material system, thus aiding orientation distribution function analysis also for non-cubic systems.

Radiometric Temperature Measurements in Nongray Ferropericlase With Pressure- Spin- and Temperature-Dependent Optical Properties
Creators: name: Lobanov, Sergey S.
name: Speziale, Sergio
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2019

description: Accurate temperature determination is central to measurements of physical and chemical properties in laser-heated (LH) diamond anvil cells (DACs). Because the optical properties of samples at high pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions are generally unknown, virtually all LH DAC studies employ the graybody assumption (i.e., wavelength-independent emissivity and absorptivity). Here we test the adequacy of this assumption for ferropericlase (13 mol.% Fe), the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle. We model the wavelength-dependent emission and absorption of thermal radiation in samples of variable geometry and with absorption coefficients experimentally constrained at lower mantle P and P-T. The graybody assumption in LH DAC experiments on nongray ferropericlase contributes moderate systematic errors within ±200 K at 40, 75, and 135 GPa and T < 2300 K for all plausible sample geometries. However, at core-mantle boundary P-T conditions (135 GPa, 4000 K) the graybody assumption may underestimate the peak temperature in the DAC by up to 600 K in self-insulated samples due to selective light attenuation in highly opaque ferropericlase. Our results allow insights into the apparent discrepancy between available ferropericlase melting studies and offer practical guidance for accurate measurements of its solidus in LH DACs. More generally, the results of this work demonstrate that reliable temperature measurements in LH DACs require that the optical and geometrical properties of the samples are established.
Dynamic Compressive Strength and Fragmentation in Felsic Crystalline Rocks

description: Brittle deformation in rocks depends upon loading rate; with increasing rates, typically greater than ~102 s−1, rocks become significantly stronger and undergo increasingly severe fragmentation. Dynamic conditions required for rate-dependent brittle failure may be reached during impact events, seismogenic rupture, and landslides. Material characteristics and fragment characterization of specific geomaterials from dynamic loading are only approximately known. Here we determine the characteristic strain rate for dynamic behavior in felsic crystalline rocks, including anisotropy, and describe the resulting fragments. Regardless of the type of felsic crystalline rock or anisotropy, the characteristic strain rate is the same within uncertainties for all tested materials, with an average value of 229 ± 81 s−1. Despite the lack of variation of the critical strain rate with lithology, we find that the degree of fragmentation as a function of strain rate varies depending on material. Scaled or not, the fragmentation results are inconsistent with current theoretical models of fragmentation. Additionally, we demonstrate that conditions during impact cratering, where the impactor diameter is less than ~100 m, are analogous to the experiments carried out here and therefore that dynamic strengthening and compressive fragmentation should be considered as important processes during impact cratering.
Investigation of Mercury's magnetospheric and surface magnetic fields
Creators: name: Winslow, Reka Moldovan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis is devoted to the study of Mercury’s magnetic field environment, to reveal the nature of the interaction between a weak planetary magnetic field and the interplanetary medium. Due to the lack of orbital spacecraft observations at Mercury prior to the MErcury Surface, Space Environment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission, work in this thesis presents some of the first analysis and interpretation of observations in this unique and dynamic environment. The bow shock and magnetopause define the boundary regions of the planet’s magnetosphere, thereby representing the initial interaction of the planetary field with the solar wind. We established the time-averaged shapes and locations of these boundaries, and investigated their response to the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We found that the solar wind parameters exert the dominant influence on the boundaries; we thus derived parameterized model shapes for the magnetopause and bow shock with solar wind ram pressure and Alfven Mach number, respectively. The cusp region is where solar wind plasma can gain access to the magnetosphere, and in Mercury’s unique case, the surface. As such, this area is expected to experience higher than average space weathering and be a source for the exosphere. Using magnetic field observations, we mapped the northern cusp’s latitudinal and longitudinal extent, average plasma pressure and observed its variation with the solar wind and IMF. From the derived plasma pressure estimates we calculated the flux of plasma to the surface. Mercury’s internal dipole field is not centered on the planet’s geographic equator but has a significant northward offset. We developed the technique of proton-reflection magnetometry to acquire the first measurements of Mercury’s surface field strength. Proton loss cones are evident in both the northern and southern hemispheres, providing confirmation of persistent proton precipitation to the surface in these regions. We used the size of the loss cones to estimate the surface magnetic field strength, which confirm the offset dipole structure of the planetary field. With additional proton-reflection magnetometry observations, we generated a global proton flux map to Mercury’s surface and searched for regional-scale surface magnetic fields in the northern hemisphere.

The AdS/CFT correspondence : bulk to boundary map and applications
Creators: name: Nogueira, Fernando Michell Falieri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The holographic principle connects theories with gravity to lower dimensional theories without gravity. Notably, the AdS/CFT correspondence — the first concrete realization of the holographic principle — provides a one to one map between string theory in Anti de Sitter space, and a strongly coupled, large N, SU(N) super Yang-Mills gauge theory in one less dimension. In this thesis, within the context of holographic field theories, I improve on the current understanding of the map between gravity (bulk) and gauge theory (boundary) degrees of freedom. Furthermore, I explore some of the applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to the study of strongly coupled field theories. I study the map between bulk and boundary degrees of freedom mainly by trying to determine what is the gravity dual of a subset of the boundary field theory. In the process of doing so I show how extremal surfaces, entanglement entropy, hyperbolic black holes, and boson stars are fundamental tools in this quest. Next, I explore a few examples of direct applications of the correspondence as a model building device. I discuss how AdS/CFT can be used to construct quasi realistic strongly coupled physical systems ranging from relativistic fluids to plasmas and high temperature superconductors. Finally, I compare some of the results obtained in this thesis with known standard field theory results.

Between Worlds: Exploring Racial, Sexual, and Cultural Identity in a Conservative Society - Autohistoria-teoria
Creators: name: Lopez, Jordan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In this paper I look into my personal journey as a young Latino gay male, navigating the complexities of identity and self-acceptance in a predominantly white, conservative, and Catholic community. I explore the concept of 'autohistoria-teoria,' a term derived from Gloria Anzaldúa's work, which represents a blend of autobiography and theory to express personal narratives deeply intertwined with broader social and cultural themes. Throughout the paper, I reflect on my experiences of marginalization and the struggle to reconcile various aspects of my identity-racial, sexual, and cultural. I discuss how societal norms, family expectations, and religious teachings have shaped my understanding of self and 'otherness.' This exploration is not recounting personal hardships, but it is an acknowledgment of the resilience and strength I've discovered in myself. Readers can expect an intimate and honest narrative, where I use my life's story as a lens to understand broader societal issues. By sharing my story, I hope to illuminate the struggles and triumphs of navigating multiple identities and to contribute to a greater understanding of the diverse experiences within our society.
title: Essays on Econometric Models of Volatility
Creators: name: Jiang, Yushuang
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This thesis contributes to the literature on volatility forecasting, focusing on the VIX index, the VIX futures and the VVIX. It consists of three main chapters. The first contribution is the introduction of a new VIX forecasting methodology employing both filtered historical simulations and four well-established indices. We examine the forecasting performance of three different GARCH models from 2011-2017. Our empirical results show that this new method outperforms the benchmark model which only uses the VIX index and assumes a normal distribution. Also, our proposed methodology is found to reduce the computational time significantly, compared to the traditional model which uses cross-sectional options prices. The second contribution is studying the role of the VIX term structure in predicting VIX futures prices. The estimation is carried out under the GJR model, assuming the empirical innovation density under the risk-neutral measure. Several models are employed differing in the data set used, i.e., futures data, or the VIX term structure, or their combinations. We find that the use of the VIX term structure improves the VIX futures forecasts, especially for the long-term VIX futures or when the VIX level is high. Also, the evidence from the 2020 COVID-19 crisis shows that using both the VIX term structure and the VIX futures provides lower pricing errors compared to using futures data only. The third contribution is an investigation on the optimal forecasts of the VVIX. This thesis presents a comparison of VVIX forecasts based on three individual models, eight combining methods and two LASSO-type regressions. Our finding is that the simple median combining method gives the lowest forecasting errors across the years among all the methods considered. Moreover, the model selection results of LASSO suggest that instead of daily changes in the VVIX, the changes in monthly VVIX are essential to predict the VVIX.

description: The decades between the two world wars seethed with tumultuous and momentous events. A complex pattern of opportunities and crises in the aftermath of the First World War inspired diverse agitations against and negotiations with the colonial state. The late 1920s and 1930s again witnessed profound economic changes, new political genres, and constitutional initiatives. They led to freedom with partition and decided the shape of post-colonial politics.

title: Evaluation of the Mechanical Strength of Bund Walls under the Catastrophic Failure of Storage Tanks via Fluid Structure Interaction
Creators: name: Megdiche, I
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: The catastrophic failure of storage tanks is a serious problem that can have disastrous eﬀects on the environment, local community and the economy. Bund walls are structures used around storage tanks where hazardous substances are stored and handled for the purpose of retaining the losses in materials. This study investigates the performance of bund wall structures under the impact loading caused by the collapse of storage tanks. Research on this subject has taken place at Liverpool John Moores University over two decades. Studies have included investigating the dynamic pressures exerted on the bund wall, the overtopping fractions of the material representing the ratio of the quantity of ﬂuid that escapes the bunded area to the quantity of ﬂuid that was initially in the tank, and mitigation measures to reduce the incurred losses. These previous studies along with other publications indicate clearly that bund walls are not designed to withstand dynamic loading that arises in the wake of sudden collapse of storage tanks. The novelty of this research lies in studying the performance of bund walls under the impact loading exerted by the sudden release of the stored material and proposing a new design of bund walls using Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHP-FRC). The investigation was carried out using the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) approach. InterFOAM solver in OpenFOAM software was used to model the multiphase ﬂow of the sudden release of the ﬂuid. The available experimental data sets were used to validate the performance of the solver in terms of the prediction of dynamic pressures and overtopping fractions. The solver gives good results for many of the simulations investigated. An optimisation study on the optimum conﬁguration of mitigation technique was conducted. FSI modelling was used to study the behaviour of the bund wall by coupling the explicit solver of Abaqus 2017 to InterFOAM via the MpCCI coupling environment. Bund walls with diﬀerent shapes and under diﬀerent loading conditions were simulated. Results show that bund walls made of plain concrete fail with the exception of circular bund walls. The use of UHP-FRC with the incorporation of Catastrophic Overtopping Alleviation of Storage Tanks (COAST) mitigation technique allows the reduction of the overtopping fractions and minimises the damage to the bund wall. Results of the research allow the operators and site managers to gain an insight into the behaviour of bund walls under impact loading and perform more meaningful risk assessments.

description: Methodological choices in animal experimentation are influenced by a variety of factors. The analysis of the relative weight of such factors on the practice of animal experimentation can offer a better idea of the influences characterizing the work of researchers today. To this aim, we conducted structured interviews and sent out questionnaires to researchers using animal models. The results showed that the main factor influencing the researchers’ work with animals was the appropriateness of the chosen animal model to respond to the question addressed. Ethical issues came as the next important factor, mostly based on considerations regarding animal suffering. The general public opinion appeared to be of little significance, indicating that a gap still exists between animal researchers and society. This paper shows animal experimentation is influenced by both external (e.g., adherence to scientific objectivity) and internal factors (e.g., ethical concerns), providing a varied profile of the contemporary animal researcher.

description: Abstract To increase the resilience of regional water supply systems in South Africa in the face of anticipated climatic changes and a constant increase in water demand, water supply sources require diversification. Many water‐stressed metropolitan regions in South Africa depend largely on surface water to cover their water demand. While climatic and river discharge data is widely available in these regions, information on groundwater resources – which could support supply source diversification – is scarce. Groundwater recharge is a key parameter that is used to estimate groundwater amounts that can be sustainably exploited at a sub‐watershed level. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a reliable hydrological modelling routine that enables the assessment of regional spatio‐temporal variations of groundwater recharge to discern the most promising areas for groundwater development. Accordingly, we present a semi‐distributed hydrological modelling approach that incorporates water balance routines coupled with baseflow modelling techniques to yield spatio‐temporal variations of groundwater recharge on a regional level. The approach is demonstrated for the actively managed catchment areas of the Amathole Water Supply System situated in a semi‐arid part of the Eastern Cape of South Africa. In the investigated study area, annual groundwater recharge exhibits a high spatio‐temporal heterogeneity and is estimated to vary between ~0.5% and 8% of annual rainfall. Despite some uncertainties induced by limited data availability, calibration and validation of the model were found to be satisfactory and yielded model results similar to (point) data of annual groundwater recharge reported in earlier studies. Our approach is therefore found to derive crucial information for efficiently targeting more detailed groundwater exploration studies and could work as a blueprint for orientating groundwater potential exploration in similar environments.

Couples coping with rheumatoid arthritis : spouse empathic responding as a moderator of depressive symptoms
Creators: name: Stephenson, Ellen Christine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Objective. To examine the effects of depressive symptoms and empathic responding on patient disability and marital quality over time. To identify factors that contribute to patient perceptions of spouses as responding empathically to their rheumatoid arthritis. Methods. Patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and their spouses (n = 133 couples) independently completed mailed questionnaires at baseline and one year later. Patients completed measures of functional impairment, marital quality, depressive symptoms, and perceived empathic responding from their spouse. Spouses reported their own depressive symptoms and empathic responding behavior. Results. Perceived empathic responding was found to interact with spouse depressive symptoms contributing significantly to the prediction of patient functional impairment reports at follow-up. Only when spouse empathic responding was low was spouse depression associated with greater patient functional impairment at 1-year follow-up. Similarly, in the model predicting patient marital quality at follow-up, there were significant 2-way interactions between perceived empathic responding and both spouse depressive symptoms and patient depressive symptoms. Only when spouse empathic responding was low did patient or spouse depression significantly predict poorer marital quality at follow-up. Patient perceptions of spouse empathic responding were found to depend on spouse reports of their own empathic responding, patient marital satisfaction, and the interaction of patient depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction. Conclusion. Empathic responding from the spouse was found to buffer against the negative effects of spouse depression on functional and marital outcomes for patients with RA. In developing couple-oriented RA treatments, increasing perceived empathic responding could serve as a useful target for intervention.
