Generalized o-minimality for partial orders

Abstract: We consider partially ordered models. We introduce the notions of a weakly (quasi-)p.o.-minimal model and a weakly (quasi-)p.o.-minimal theory. We prove that weakly quasi-p.o.-minimal theories of finite width lack the independence property, weakly p.o.-minimal directed groups are Abelian and divisible, weakly quasi-p.o.-minimal directed groups with unique roots are Abelian, and the direct product of a finite family of weakly p.o.-minimal models is a weakly p.o.-minimal model. We obtain results on existence of small extensions of models of weakly quasi-p.o.-minimal atomic theories. In particular, for such a theory of finite length, we find an upper estimate of the Hanf number for omitting a family of pure types. We also find an upper bound for the cardinalities of weakly quasi-p.o.-minimal absolutely homogeneous models of moderate width.

Cloud Computing for Business

Abstract: Advanced information technologies and the Internet have resulted in the emergence of the phenomenon of processing in the clouds (cloud computing - CC). A general definition of processing in the clouds is “access to a resource on the Internet outside the company firewall.”

Informal Self-Employment in Kazakhstan

Abstract: We use data from the Kazakhstan Labor Force Survey (KLFS) for the period 2006-2011 to examine causal factors that determine informal self-employment. In addition, the paper expands the analysis to consider gender differences in informality and examines the response of informality propensities to the recent global crisis. Our decomposition analysis shows that education, work hours and tenure in self-employment are particularly important determinants of business formalisation.
