Triadic concept graphs have been introduced as a mathema-tization of conceptual graphs with subdivision. In this paper it is shown that triadic concept graphs of a triadic power context family always form a complete lattice with respect to the generalization order. For stating this result, a clariication of the notion of generalization is needed. It turns out that the generalization order may b...

We synthesised views and experiences of three teams (student mentees, alumni mentors, staff) in our pilot mentorship scheme within a distance learning MSc, evaluated the scheme, developed conceptual model “triadic partnerships.” Thematic analysis qualitative data revealed strong consensus across all teams. The triadic partnerships were reported to help reduce feeling “distance” learning. Throug...

Scholars of street-level bureaucracy and institutional research focus primarily on the relationships between advocates their larger bureaucratic social systems, assuming that have little need to satisfy beneficiaries. We find otherwise in our two-year ethnographic study public defenders advocating for disadvantaged clients interactions with district attorneys. In analysis 82 advocacy opportunit...

The test ideal τ(R) of a ring R of prime characteristic is an important object in the theory of tight closure. In this paper, we study a generalization of the test ideal, which is the ideal τ(a) associated to a given ideal a with rational exponent t ≥ 0. We first prove a key lemma of this paper (Lemma 2.1), which gives a characterization of the ideal τ(a). As applications of this key lemma, we ...
