description: In this work, we use a recast of the Run II search for invisible Higgs decays within Vector Boson Fusion to constrain the parameter space of the Inert Doublet model, a two Higgs doublet model with a dark matter candidate. When including all known theoretical as well as collider constraints, we find that the above can rule out a relatively large part in the mH-$\lambda_{345}$ parameter space, for dark scalar masses $m_H \leq$ 100 GeV. Including the latest dark matter constraints, a smaller part of parameter space remains which is solely excluded from the above analysis. We also discuss the sensitivity of monojet searches and multilepton final states from Run II.

description: Many modern theories which try to unify gravity with the Standard Model of particle physics, as e.g. string theory, propose two key modifications to the commonly known physical theories: i) the existence of additional space dimensions; ii) the existence of a minimal length distance or maximal resolution. While extra dimensions have received a wide coverage in publications over the last ten years (especially due to the prediction of micro black hole production at the LHC), the phenomenology of models with a minimal length is still less investigated. In a summer study project for bachelor students in 2010 we have explored some phenomenological implications of the potential existence of a minimal length. In this paper we review the idea and formalism of a quantum gravity induced minimal length in the generalised uncertainty principle framework as well as in the coherent state approach to non-commutative geometry. These approaches are effective models which can make model-independent predictions for experiments and are ideally suited for phenomenological studies. Pedagogical examples are provided to grasp the effects of a quantum gravity induced minimal length. This article is intended for graduate students and non-specialists interested in quantum gravity.

Amplitude analysis and measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of $B^0 \to K_0^S K_0^S K_0^S$ decays

description: We present the first results on the Dalitz-plot structure and improved measurements of the time-dependent CP-violation parameters of the process $B^0 \rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S$ obtained using $468\times10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ factory at SLAC. The Dalitz-plot structure is probed by a time-integrated amplitude analysis that does not distinguish between $B^0$ and $\bar{B}^0$ decays. We measure the total inclusive branching fraction ${\cal B}($B^0$ \rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S)=\rm (6.19 \pm 0.48 \pm 0.15 \pm 0.12)\times 10^{-6}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third represents the Dalitz-plot signal model dependence. We also observe evidence for the intermediate resonant states $f_0(980)$, $f_0(1710)$, and $f_2(2010)$. Their respective product branching fractions are measured to be $\rm(2.70\,^{+1.25}_{-1.19} \pm 0.36 \pm 1.17)\times 10^{-6}$, $\rm(0.50\,^{+0.46}_{-0.24} \pm 0.04 \pm 0.10)\times 10^{-6}$, and $\rm(0.54\,^{+0.21}_{-0.20} \pm 0.03 \pm 0.52)\times 10^{-6}$. Additionally, we determine the mixing-induced CP-violation parameters to be ${\cal S} = -0.94\,^{+0.24}_{-0.21} \pm 0.06 $ and ${\cal C} = -0.17 \pm 0.18 \pm 0.04 $, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. These values are in agreement with the standard model expectation. For the first time, we report evidence of CP violation in $B^0$ \rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S$ decays; CP conservation is excluded at 3.8 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties.

Do policies of the lowest common denominator bring about system-level change? Examining the success factors of the Toronto Regional Immigrant Employment Council
Creators: name: Shcherbyna, Olga
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The employment outcomes of Canadian immigrants have been deteriorating over the last two decades. Given the scope of the problem, a more systemic-based problem solving approach that involves multiple stakeholders is required to address immigrant labor market misfortunes in Canada. The Toronto Regional Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC) has been recognized as a promising multi-stakeholder collaboration model in the area of immigrant economic integration. This study attempts to examine the conditions that contributed to the perceived success of TRIEC, with the goals being to discover critical success factors that made TRIEC a ‘success story’, and to identify lessons that could be learned by other Immigrant Employment Councils (IECs) in Canada. The study finds six success factor groups that were associated with TRIEC’s accomplishments. These include TRIEC’s highly professional operational practices, its action-oriented approach, its strong leadership model (which included business, community and municipal leaders), its focus on employers, its unique contextual environment, and its professional and highly effective communication and public relations strategies. It is argued that the last factor contributed to the formation of TRIEC’s ‘successful multi- stakeholder model’ branding in Canada and overseas. When the strategies and activities of TRIEC were compared to those of seven other IECs in Canada, it was revealed that TRIEC was the only IEC whose leaders either were or became truly vocal on the topic of immigrant integration. It was also discovered that TRIEC was the only IEC to openly and consistently share its results, activities and finances with the general public. Finally, TRIEC was the first group in Canada and only one of IECs that managed to bring three levels of government together to discuss immigration issues. Shedding light on the role of municipalities in relation to immigrant economic integration issues, this research has shown that all the Canadian municipalities of reviewed communities were recognized by IECs for their capacity to initiate and support collaborative community efforts. The final discussion focuses on the implications of solely adopting an economic perspective in promoting the benefits of hiring immigrants to Canadian society. The study concludes that more research should be conducted to define the success of multi-stakeholder collaborations such as TRIEC, to develop appropriate frameworks to measure their effectiveness and to evaluate what degree their interventions contributed to societal change(s).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The mechanisms underlying the population dynamics of species causing Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are complex because they result from the interplay of a spectrum of physico-chemical and biological factors, to which the organisms respond with a variety of strategies. Still, it is not clear whether the responses of harmful species are different from other phytoplankters. In order to resolve some of these questions, we started a multidisciplinary study in 2007 in Alfacs Bay (Ebre Delta), an active aquaculture site in the NW Mediterranean that is exposed to recurrent HAB events. Through a series of meteorological and hydrographical observations combined with modelling exercises, we try to understand how the circulation in the Bay affects the retention, dispersion, and thus the net development of (harmful) phytoplankton populations. The small-scale characterization of the physical water column properties is performed using a highresolution acoustic Doppler current profiler and a SCAMP (temperature microstructure profiler to deliver information about turbulence). With this approach, we aim to explain the observed preferential vertical concentration of the target organisms (harmful or not). The field studies are complemented by physiological research in the laboratory which has already shown a particular sensitivity of dinoflagellates to small-scale turbulence. For hypothesis testing, we combine these field and laboratory observations with an individual based (Lagrangian) turbulence model. Here, we present some of our progress and highlight our future goals which includes the deployment of a real-time automated physico-optical observation system to provide a better understanding of the in situ biological (growth and grazing rate) dynamics of (harmful) phytoplankton.
Efficient quantum communication under collective noise

description: We introduce a new quantum communication protocol for the transmission of quantum information under collective noise. Our protocol utilizes a decoherence-free subspace in such a way that an optimal asymptotic transmission rate is achieved, while at the same time encoding and decoding operations can be efficiently implemented. The encoding and decoding circuit requires a number of elementary gates that scale linearly with the number of transmitted qudits, m. The logical depth of our encoding and decoding operations is constant and depends only on the channel in question. For channels described by an arbitrary discrete group G, i.e. with a discrete number, |G|, of possible noise operators, perfect transmission at a rate m/(m+r) is achieved with an overhead that scales at most as $\mathcal{O}(d^r)$ where the number of auxiliary qudits, r, depends solely on the group in question. Moreover, this overhead is independent of the number of transmitted qudits, m. For certain groups, e.g. cyclic groups, we find that the overhead scales only linearly with the number of group elements |G|.

description: This is a status report on our endeavor to reveal the mechanism of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) by large-scale numerical simulations. Multi-dimensionality of the supernova engine, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, energy and lepton number transport by neutrinos emitted from the forming neutron star as well as nuclear interactions there, are all believed to play crucial roles in repelling infalling matter and producing energetic explosions. These ingredients are nonlinearly coupled with one another in the dynamics of core-collapse, bounce, and shock expansion. Serious quantitative studies of CCSNe hence make extensive numerical computations mandatory. Since neutrinos are neither in thermal nor in chemical equilibrium in general, their distributions in the phase space should be computed. This is a six dimensional (6D) neutrino transport problem and quite a challenge even for those with an access to the most advanced numerical resources such as the "K computer". To tackle this problem, we have embarked on multi-front efforts. In particular we report in this paper our recent progresses in the treatments of multi-dimensional (multi-D) radiation-hydrodynamics. We are currently proceeding on two different paths to the ultimate goal; in one approach we employ an approximate but highly efficient scheme for neutrino transport and treat 3D hydrodynamics and/or general relativity rigorously; some neutrino-driven explosions will be presented and comparisons will be made between 2D and 3D models quantitatively; in the second approach, on the other hand, exact but so far Newtonian Boltzmann equations are solved in two and three spatial dimensions; we will show some demonstrative test simulations. We will also address the perspectives of exa-scale computations on the next generation supercomputers.

description: Many epidemic models approximate social contact behavior by assuming random mixing within mixing groups (e.g., homes, schools and workplaces). The effect of more realistic social network structure on estimates of epidemic parameters is an open area of exploration. We develop a detailed statistical model to estimate the social contact network within a high school using friendship network data and a survey of contact behavior. Our contact network model includes classroom structure, longer durations of contacts to friends than nonfriends and more frequent contacts with friends, based on reports in the contact survey. We performed simulation studies to explore which network structures are relevant to influenza transmission. These studies yield two key findings. First, we found that the friendship network structure important to the transmission process can be adequately represented by a dyad-independent exponential random graph model (ERGM). This means that individual-level sampled data is sufficient to characterize the entire friendship network. Second, we found that contact behavior was adequately represented by a static rather than dynamic contact network.

description: Properties of $2^{-+}$ charmonium $η_{c2}$ are investigated in quenched lattice QCD. The mass of $η_{c2}$ is determined to be 3.80(3) GeV, which is close to the mass of $D$-wave charmonium $ψ(3770)$ and in agreement with quark model predictions. The transition width of $η_{c2}\to γJ/ψ$ is also obtained with a value $Γ=3.8(9)$ keV. Since the possible $2^{-+}$ assignment to X(3872) has not been ruled out by experiments, our results help to clarify the nature of X(3872).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Met Office is running coupled 3D carbon-cycle and biogeochemical models for both the UK shelf-seas and the open ocean which have been developed in collaboration with colleagues in PML and the Met Office’s Hadley Centre for Climate Research, respectively. For the UK shelf-seas, the modelling framework consists of the MRCS (Medium-Resolution Continental Shelf) POLCOMS hydrodynamic model coupled on-line to the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM). The POLCOMS-ERSEM system has been running daily, and operationally, at the Met Office since 2007. It produces daily analysis and forecasts up to five days ahead of physical (temperature, salinity and currents) as well as biogeochemical variables (i.e. chlorophyll, phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass, nutrients and sediment concentration). This system does not perform any data assimilation. One important application of the shelf-seas coupled system is providing support for the UK agencies responsible for ecosystem health, water quality monitoring and nuisance algal bloom prediction. The Met Office, Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and the Environment Agency (EA) have been working together on a project, AlgaRisk, designed to develop a forecasting tool as a demonstration service for forecasting water quality and nuisance algal blooms. The project has been tested with the view of enabling the EA to advise local authorities and meet EU Marine Water Framework Directive requirements. In order to achieve this, the project combined operational model output (including physical and biological fields) with Earth Observation. This paper presents the AlgaRisk project tool along with initial results and an assessment of the system’s performance for several summer 2009 bloom events that occurred in the U.K., focussing particularly on the southwest region of England and the Clyde region of Scotland

description: In this paper we present an implicit dynamic dictionary with the working-set property, supporting insert(e) and delete(e) in O(log n) time, predecessor(e) in O(log l_{p(e)}) time, successor(e) in O(log l_{s(e)}) time and search(e) in O(log min(l_{p(e)},l_{e}, l_{s(e)})) time, where n is the number of elements stored in the dictionary, l_{e} is the number of distinct elements searched for since element e was last searched for and p(e) and s(e) are the predecessor and successor of e, respectively. The time-bounds are all worst-case. The dictionary stores the elements in an array of size n using no additional space. In the cache-oblivious model the log is base B and the cache-obliviousness is due to our black box use of an existing cache-oblivious implicit dictionary. This is the first implicit dictionary supporting predecessor and successor searches in the working-set bound. Previous implicit structures required O(log n) time.

Subjects: 615.8515: Ergotherapie

description: Das «Behange Projekt» wurde als Praxisentwicklungsprojekt in der Ergotherapie in der stationären Neurorehabilitation im Spital Riggisberg implementiert. Die Zahl von Menschen mit einem Schlaganfall oder einer Hirnblutung nimmt aufgrund der stark ansteigenden Weltbevölkerung und demografischen Alterung sowohl weltweit als auch in der Schweiz stetig zu. Menschen nach einem Schlaganfall oder einer Hirnblutung sind aufgrund verloren gegangener Fertigkeiten häufig dazu gezwungen, ihren Lebensstil zu verändern. Ausserdem möchten viele Betroffene alte «ungesunde» Lebensgewohnheiten ablegen und sich auf neue «gesunde» Verhaltensweisen einlassen, um ein weiteres Ereignis verhindern zu können. Dabei fühlen sie sich während der Akut-Rehabilitation von Fachpersonen häufig alleine gelassen oder unzureichend begleitet. Denn, Verhaltensänderungen einzugehen und insbesondere aufrechtzuerhalten, stellt eine grosse Herausforderung dar. Im Ergotherapie-Team waren Fertigkeiten, um Betroffene bei Verhaltensänderungen adäquat zu begleiten, vor der Durchführung des Projektes unzureichend vorhanden. Ebenso bestand im Team die Ansicht, dass sich Betroffene in der Akut-Phase noch nicht mit Verhaltensänderungen auseinandersetzen wollen und können. 
Das Projekt wurde als «Stabs-Projektorganisation» geplant und bis zum jetzigen Projektstand in dieser Organisationsform durchgeführt. Die Vorgesetzten als Auftraggeberinnen, die Steuergruppe, die Projektgruppe sowie das Ergotherapie-Team wirkten aktiv am Projekt mit. Es wurde in fünf Phasen mit insgesamt zehn Meilensteinen gegliedert. Das Projekt soll in einem Zeitraum von Anfang April 2022 bis Ende Oktober 2024 stattfinden. 
Mit Hilfe der Projektgruppe wurde ein multimediales Dossier über Theorien, Modelle und Konzepte zu Verhaltensänderungen anschaulich zusammengestellt, sowie Arbeitsblätter für Schlaganfallüberlebende entworfen und in das Dossier inkludiert. Ebenso wurde ein Schulungsvideo auf der Basis von «Sketchnotes» über das multimediale Dossier entwickelt. Anhand des Dossiers und des Schulungsvideos wurde dem Ergotherapie-Team komplexes Fachwissen über Verhaltensänderungen einfacher zugänglich gemacht. Des Weiteren fanden zwei Schulungen im gesamten Ergotherapie-Team statt. Dadurch wurde ein adäquater Theorie-Praxis-Transfer gewährleistet und die Kompetenzen zu dieser Thematik im gesamten Team erweitert und gefestigt. Die Praktikabilität des Dossiers muss bis zum Abschluss der Einführungsphase Ende Oktober 2023 durch das Ergotherapie-Team evaluiert werden. Mit dem Projekt wurden bis zum jetzigen Projektstand die strategischen Ziele «Patientenorientierung» und «Erfolgsfaktor Mitarbeitende» der Institution erfolgreich verfolgt.
(Re)defining the "eh" : reading a colonial narrative in the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles
Creators: name: Lo, Katrina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Traditionally, the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (DCHP-1) has been understood as a repository of Canadian national identity. My project, by contrast, sees the DCHP-1 as a narrative of European colonialization and dominance, which bears an assumption of white privilege in inhabiting, understanding, and articulating the physical, social, and cultural Canadian landscape. Thus, I read the DCHP-1, not as a straightforward documentation of Canadian history, but as a historical document in itself, where its contents represent the editors’ attempts to define Canada at a particular point in time. My thesis highlights the selective, often subjective, and even biased editorial process that underlies dictionary publications, and the problem that arises from an uncritical reliance on dictionaries as comprehensive and objective sources of authority. Furthermore, I situate the creation of the DCHP-1 in its sociohistorical context, exploring the ways in which texts such as the DCHP-1 were implicated in the growing popularity and urgency to define Canadian identity through the course of the twentieth century. A nationalist “skew” in the citations and sources of the DCHP-1, then, may be a direct result of the need to appeal to both a national funding organization and a nationalist readership. In addition, I consider how a DCHP revision might deal with the inclusion/exclusion and definition of offensive or problematic terms. I then engage in two case studies of half-breed and Iron Chink, investigating the full usage of these derogatory terms over history in order to illustrate what is lacking in current scholarship and the ways in which these entries need to be updated. Finally, I relate this research to the current project of revising DCHP-1 and make recommendations for the revised edition, pointing to the ways in which attention still needs to be focused towards addressing the heretofore unproblematized editorial choices of the original DCHP-1 and towards creating a Canadian narrative that is more culturally sensitive and inclusive.

description: Entropic forces have recently attracted considerable attention as ways to reformulate, retrodict, and perhaps even "explain'" classical Newtonian gravity from a rather specific thermodynamic perspective. In this article I point out that if one wishes to reformulate classical Newtonian gravity in terms of an entropic force, then the fact that Newtonian gravity is described by a conservative force places significant constraints on the form of the entropy and temperature functions. (These constraints also apply to entropic reinterpretations of electromagnetism, and indeed to any conservative force derivable from a potential.) The constraints I will establish are sufficient to present real and significant problems for any reasonable variant of Verlinde's entropic gravity proposal, though for technical reasons the constraints established herein do not directly impact on either Jacobson's or Padmanabhan's versions of entropic gravity. In an attempt to resolve these issues, I will extend the usual notion of entropic force to multiple heat baths with multiple "temperatures'" and multiple "entropies".

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During an investigation into the distribution of Dinophysis spp. in coastal waters off the south coast of Ireland, a thin layer of Dinophysis acuta was observed as a sub surface thin layer containing up to 55,000 cells l-1 . The layer did not coincide with the fluorescence maximum, and was found to be a patch of maximum dimensions ~10 km x 7 km. The patch was observed to move westwards within a seasonal coastal jet previously recorded in the area, and also evident due to the aggregation of isopycnals at the seafloor. The patch was followed for 6 days, and shown to be moving within the coastal jet at a speed of ca. 6.5 km d-1 towards a nationally important shellfish production area. These observations have substantial implications for regional monitoring of toxic blooms in that they document how harmful populations may be transported in coastal jets along coasts to aquaculture sites.

description: This article propounds, in the wake of influential work of Fefferman and Graham about Poincaré extensions of conformal structures, a definition of a (Poincaré-)Schrödinger manifold whose boundary is endowed with a conformal Bargmann structure above a non-relativistic Newton-Cartan spacetime. Examples of such manifolds are worked out in terms of homogeneous spaces of the Schrödinger group in any spatial dimension, and their global topology is carefully analyzed. These archetypes of Schrödinger manifolds carry a Lorentz structure together with a preferred null Killing vector field; they are shown to admit the Schrödinger group as their maximal group of isometries. The relationship to similar objects arising in the non-relativisitc AdS/CFT correspondence is discussed and clarified.

description: The complete set of Feynman rules for the rational part R of QCD corrections in the MSSM are calculated at the one-loop level, which can be very useful in the next-to-leading order calculations in supersymmetric models. Our results are expressed in the 't Hooft-Veltman regularization scheme and in the Four Dimensional Helicity scheme with non-anticommutating and anticommutating $γ_5$ strategies.

description: The mutual agreement procedure (MAP) needs improvement to address the tsunami of international tax disputes expected in the international tax regime (ITR) over the next decades. Using the dispute resolution system under the law of the sea regime as a benchmark, this thesis submits a proposal to restructure the MAP system for improving dispute resolution in the ITR. This comparative analysis is premised on certain geopolitical similarities that underpin both international regimes and comparative institutional analysis grounds the theoretical framework. The proposed reform expands the MAP system by introducing three new mechanisms to form a comprehensive legal framework for addressing all tax treaty-related disputes. It recommends specific consensus-building techniques to facilitate the implementation of the proposal across the G20/OECD inclusive framework (IF) through consensus in both the developed and developing worlds.
title: Symptomatic dengue and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a population-based record linkage study
Creators: name: Paixao, ES

description: Dengue stands out from other viral mosquito borne diseases because it is the most common; its incidence is growing and it is reaching new geographical areas and spreading worldwide. Indeed, reported cases of negative pregnancy outcomes after dengue infection is not new, however, the evidence of the association between maternal dengue and adverse pregnancy outcomes is limited, controversial and mostly supported by cases reports. The aim of this thesis is to explore the relationship between pregnancy outcome and symptomatic maternal dengue. I conducted a population-based study using routinely-collected Brazilian data from 2006-2012. These data have the information required to expand the existing knowledge on birth outcomes from women with dengue acquired during pregnancy. The linkage process imposed complex challenges, and the final linked data showed a low sensitivity. However, it is unlikely that the linkage error introduced bias on the final analysis since it occurred randomly between cases and the comparison group. Our main findings showed that dengue during pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and birth outcomes. The effect was higher in the acute disease period (first 10/20 days) and severe disease increased the magnitude of the association. Therefore in areas where dengue virus is circulating, the health of pregnant women should be not only a public health priority, but health professionals attending pregnant women with dengue should more closely observe these patients to be able to intervene in a timely way and avoid adverse outcomes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A simple model is presented which predicts harmful algal events in the bays of southwestern Ireland during summer. Fundamental to the model is the physical forcing of circulation in these bays, principally a wind-driven two-layer oscillatory flow acting in a thermally stratified water column. This mechanism exchanges substantial proportions of the bays’ volumes, and harmful algal events arise with the associated transport of harmful populations into them. The model is based on the criterion that wind driven water exchanges result in exchanges of phytoplankton, which, if the time of year is correct, result in toxic events. Utilising Bantry Bay as an example, hindcasting showed that the model has a high degree of success using a wind index based on the sequence of winds which would generate water exchange. The model was implemented by estimating indices from the five-day weather forecast, and was trialed in the summer of 2005 during which a predicted water exchange events were accompanied by influxes of harmful algal blooms into the bay.
On the Correlations between Flavour Observables in Minimal U(2)^3 Models

description: The stringent correlations between flavour observables in models with CMFV are consistent with the present data except for the correlation Delta M_{s,d}-epsilon_K. Motivated by the recent work of Barbieri et al, we compare the CMFV correlations with the ones present in a special class of models with an approximate global U(2)^3 flavour symmetry, constrained by a minimal set of spurions governing the breakdown of this symmetry and the assumption that only SM operators are relevant in flavour physics. This analog of CMFV to be called MU(2)^3 allows to avoid the Delta M_{s,d}-epsilon_K tension in question because of reduced flavour symmetry and implied non-MFV contributions to Delta M_{s,d}. While the patterns of flavour violation in K meson system is the same as in CMFV models, the CP-violation in B_{s,d} meson systems can deviate from the one in the SM and CMFV models. We point out a stringent triple S_{psi K_S}-S_{psi phi}-|V_ub| correlation in this class of models that could in the future provide a transparent distinction between different MU(2)^3 models and in the context of these models determine |V_ub| by means of precise measurements of S_{psi K_S} and S_{psi phi} with only small hadronic uncertainties. For fixed S_{psi K_S} the correlation between B(B^+ -> tau^+nu_tau) and S_{psi phi} follows. We also find that MU(2)^3 models could in principle accommodate a negative value of S_{psi phi}, provided |V_ub| is found to be in the ballpark of exclusive determinations and the particular MU(2)^3 model provides a 25% enhancement of epsilon_K. A supersymmetric U(2)^3 model worked out in the Barbieri-School appears to satisfy these requirements. However if B(B^+ -> tau^+nu_tau)>1.0 10^{-4} will be confirmed by future experiments only positive S_{psi phi} is allowed in this framework. We summarize briefly the pattern of flavour violation in rare K and B_{s,d} decays in MU(2)^3 models.

Operational stress and the police marriage : a narrative study of police spouses
Creators: name: Thompson, Alanna Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Routine exposure to violence in the community, and witnessing the harm and death of others while on-the-job places police officers at risk of developing traumatic stress over time. Research indicates that operational stress experienced by the officer can “spillover” to his or her home life, and a spouse or significant other can become traumatized by association, a concept known as secondary trauma. The direct impact of operational stress on the individual officer has been examined, and studies that consider its effects on police spouses and the marital relationship are based primarily on survey data. The quality of police marriages appears to be dependent on the ability of the couple to cope effectively with this “spillover” effect. The present study includes the stories of eight female spouses of police officers, and explores their perspectives on the experience of being married to a police officer who encounters operational stress, and the impact of stress and coping strategies on the marital relationship. Data were collected using the Life Story interview method, the stories were transcribed verbatim and narrative summaries were created from the transcripts. Coding of the data was done using qualitative data analysis software and a thematic analysis was conducted, resulting in the creation of nine themes and 18 subthemes. These themes illustrate the unique stressors arising from policing, and the individual and relational coping strategies used within the couple relationship to foster resilience and maintain the marriage over time. The results do fit the concept of the spillover effect and the theory of dyadic coping, indicating that individuals within couple relationships do not cope with stress in isolation. Social support is viewed as a buffer against the development of traumatic stress, and findings from this study will help to inform the creation of new treatment and prevention initiatives aimed at enhancing support for police families, other first-responder groups, and couples that experience elevated stress levels over an extended period of time.
