— In the present paper, we study the p-adic Teichmüller theory in the case where p = 3. In particular, we discuss nilpotent admissible/ordinary indigenous bundles over a projective smooth curve in characteristic three. The main result of the present paper is a characterization of the supersingular divisors of nilpotent admissible/ordinary indigenous bundles in characteristic three by means of v...

A stochastic general equilibrium model is constructed which is capable of examining the covariance properties between inflation and unemployment, both conditioned and unconditioned upon the state of exogenous real and monetary factors. Indivisibilities introduced into agents' labor choice decisions produce unemployment in equilibrium. It is shown that indigenous forces in a competitive economy ...

Economists have tried to explain business cycles as well as fluctuations in the economy, but over the past two centuries, the explanations have fallen into two areas. The first area tries to explain business cycles as being the result of fluctuating aggregate demand; if overall demand for goods is strong (or to put it another way, consumers are confidently buying goods), then the economy is in ...

BACKGROUND Although case studies indicate that indigenous peoples in Brazil often suffer from higher morbidity and mortality rates than the national population, they were not included systematically in any previous national health survey. Reported here for the first time, the First National Survey of Indigenous People's Health and Nutrition in Brazil was conducted in 2008-2009 to obtain baselin...

It is often assumed by universities that entry-level students possess the skills necessary to use computing facilities effectively. Yet computer literacy amongst Indigenous students remains unacceptably low. In this paper a design for a computer literacy course is presented which endeavours to affirm the cultural values and identity of Indigenous students. It does this by drawing on Indigenous ...
