We focus on two approaches to formal concept analysis (FCA) of data with fuzzy attributes recently proposed in the literature, namely, on the approach via hedges and the approach via thresholds. Both of the approaches present parameterized ways to FCA of data with fuzzy attributes. Our paper shows basic relationships between the two of the approaches. Furthermore, we show that the approaches ca...

OBJECTIVE Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has yielded promising results as a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, to date, no quantitative review of its clinical utility has been published. METHOD We searched for randomized and sham-controlled trials from 1995 to March 2013 using MEDLINE, Embase,...

We examined the effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on symptom severity of depression, complicated grief, posttraumatic stress, and working memory in elderly bereaved people with long-term bereavement-related distress. A non-randomized, controlled pilot design was used in a sample of elderly bereaved people (mean age=77 years) with long-term bereavement-related distress. Resul...

We initiate the study of hedge connectivity of undirected graphs, motivated by dependent edge failures in real-world networks. In this model, edges are partitioned into groups called hedges that fail together. The hedge connectivity of a graph is the minimum number of hedges whose removal disconnects the graph. We give a polynomial-time approximation scheme and a quasi-polynomial exact algorith...

In this work we focus on the use of intensifying hedges as a tool to reduce the size of the recently introduced multi-adjoint concept lattices with heterogeneous conjunctors.

Objectives To explore the relationship between insulin levels and nonpsychotic dementia. Methods Six electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane, SCI, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang) were searched from January 1, 2007, to March 1, 2017. Experimental or observational studies that enrolled people with nonpsychotic dementia or abnormal insulin levels in which insulin levels or MMSE scores (events in nonpsych...

Mentalizing has been examined both in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) primarily by either cognitive-linguistic (referred to as verbal) or emotion recognition from eyes (referred to as visual) mentalizing tasks. Each type of task is thought to measure different aspects of mentalizing. Differences in clinical features and developmental courses of each disorder may predict d...

We show the relationship between two different types of common platforms of till known fuzzifications of a concept lattice, namely that the notion of a concept lattice with hedges is a special case of our generalized concept lattice.

In this paper, we define hedge operation on a residuated skew lattice and investigate some its properties. We get relationships between some special sets as dense, nilpotent, idempotent, regular elements sets and their hedges.  By examples, we show that hedge of a dense element is not a dense and hedge of a regular element is not a regular. Also hedge of a nilpotent element is a nilpotent and h...
