Focus groups: From collecting data to critical pedagogical practice [PDF]
This paper presents the positivist and constructivist theory and practice of focus groups. We pointed out to the paradigmatic differences in notional attributes of focus groups, as well as to the historic circumstances of their appearance.

Patient choice in the NHS: How critical are facilities services in influencing patient choice? [PDF]
Purpose – From December 2005, patients in the UK needing an operation will be offered a choice of four or five. These could be NHS trusts, foundation trusts, treatment centres, private hospitals or practitioners with a special interest operating within ...

Arithmetical structures on bidents
An arithmetical structure on a finite, connected graph $G$ is a pair of vectors $(\mathbf{d}, \mathbf{r})$ with positive integer entries for which $(\operatorname{diag}(\mathbf{d}) - A)\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{0}$, where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $G ...

A note on the Dancer–Fučík spectra of the fractional p-Laplacian and Laplacian operators
We study the Dancer–Fučík spectrum of the fractional p-Laplacian operator. We construct an unbounded sequence of decreasing curves in the spectrum using a suitable minimax scheme. For p = 2, we present a very accurate local analysis.

Nonlinear nonhomogeneous Neumann eigenvalue problems
We consider a nonlinear parametric Neumann problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator with a reaction which is $(p-1)$-superlinear near $\pm\infty$ and exhibits concave terms near zero.

A Remark on Critical Groups [PDF]
Problem 24 of Hanna Neumann's book [3] reads: Does there exist, for a given integer n > 0, a Cross variety that is generated by its k-generator groups and contains (k+n)-generator critical groups? In such a variety, is every critical group that needs more than k generators a factor of a k-generator critical group, or at least of the free group of ...

Critical groups of iterated cones [PDF]
Let G be a finite graph, and let G_n be the n-th iterated cone over G. We study the structure of the critical group of G_n arising in divisor and sandpile theory.

Critical Groups and Partitions of Finite Groups
We define a class of finite groups based on the properties of the closed twins of their power graphs and study the structure of those groups. As a byproduct, we obtain results about finite groups admitting a partition by cyclic subgroups.

Smith and Critical groups of Polar Graphs
We compute the elementary divisors of the adjacency and Laplacian matrices of families of polar graphs. These graphs have as vertices the isotropic one-dimensional subspaces of finite vector spaces with respect to non-degenerate forms, with adjacency ...
