Smith and critical groups of polar graphs [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2019
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 given by orthogonality.

Focus groups: From collecting data to critical pedagogical practice [PDF]

open access: yesZbornik Instituta za pedagoška istraživanja, 2007
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.

Learning to make sense: the use of critical incident analysis in facilitated reflective groups of mental health student nurses

open access: yes, 2004
Encouragement for nurses to utilize reflective approaches has come from a wide range of professional and educational bodies. The benefits of reflection are usually stated in terms of increases in the nurse's critical abilities and a greater awareness of ...

A note on the Dancer–Fučík spectra of the fractional p-Laplacian and Laplacian operators

open access: yesAdvances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2015
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

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2015
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.

Critical Groups and Partitions of Finite Groups

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Mathematics
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.

The critical group of a combinatorial map [PDF]

open access: yesCombinatorial Theory
Motivated by the appearance of embeddings in the theory of chip firing and the critical group of a graph, we introduce a version of the critical group (or sandpile group) for combinatorial maps, that is, for graphs embedded in orientable surfaces. We provide several definitions of our critical group, by approaching it through analogues of the cycle ...

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...

Lost and Finding: Experiences of Newly Graduated Critical Social Workers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The first year of social work practice can be very stressful for new practitioners. Practice develops in response to the meaning we place on what we do and on our professional goals.
