The article analyzes the linguistic nature of some nuclear lexemes (power, control, authority, influence) verbalizing the basic concept of the English-language political discourse – the concept of “Power”. The paper reveals the structure of the concept, its conceptual features, as well as the main characteristics of the concept representatives at the language and functional levels.

Introduction: Considering the pervasiveness of social accountablemedical education concept around the world and the growingtrend of literature in this regard as well as various interpretationsmade about this concept, we found it necessary to analyze theconcept of social accountable medical education.Methods: In this study, the modified version of McKenna’s approachto concept analysis was used t...

The efficient selection of relevant extents is an important issue for investigation in formal concept analysis. The notion of stability has been adopted for this reasoning. We present three different methods for evaluation of stability and we summarize the comparative remarks.

The paper presents results on factorization by similarity of fuzzy concept lattices with hedges. Factorization of fuzzy concept lattices including a fast way to compute the factor lattice was presented in our earlier papers. The basic idea is to have, instead of a whole fuzzy concept lattice, its factor lattice. The factor lattice results by factorizing the original fuzzy concept lattice by a s...

One of the main problems in FCA (especially in fuzzy setting) is to reduce a concept lattice to appropriate size to make it graspable and understandable. We generalize known results on the correspondence of block relations of formal contexts and complete tolerances on concept lattices to fuzzy setting. Using an illustrative example we show that the results can be used for reduction of fuzzy con...

The most general algebraic structure of truth-values considered in the theory of fuzzy concept analysis to evaluate the attributes and objects has been a lattice. However, in some examples arises the necessity of a more general structure. In this paper we investigate the use of multilattices as underlying set of truth-values for these attributes and objects.

Introduction: Systems-Based Practice (SBP) is one of the sixcompetencies introduced by the ACGME for physicians toprovide high quality of care and also the most challenging of themin performance, training, and evaluation of medical students.This concept analysis clarifies the concept of SBP by identifyingits components to make it possible to differentiate it from othersimilar concepts. For prop...
