The purpose of the research is to understand formulation of policy for creative industries, and in particular the importance of quantitative and qualitative data or information for formulation of the first policies for creative industries at national and regional level. The goal of the research is to assess whether it is possible to draft useful policy for the creative industry without having specific quantitative data at its disposal, which is often the case when such policy is being newly developed. The (...) methodology used is a brief literature review, and a case study. The case study regards policy development for the architectural sector in the East-Slovak region of Košice, which was executed by the authors in the context of the assignment to draft a strategy for development of the creative economy of the Košice region. Statistical data presented in this research were generated in the context of that assignment.The authors found that in the case of Slovakia and the region of Košice, the availability of data on the creative industries as a new policy area is very limited. Both at national level and at regional level, qualitative data and information are most useful for formulating policy. This is possible among others because qualitative needs’ assessment is feasible; international literature and best practices provide a guideline for formulating policy; and because general policies can address specific requirements through demand driven projects. The implication of the research is that specific quantitative data on the creative industries does not need to be considered a conditio sine qua non for drafting and implementing policy for the creative industries. Quantitative data will be necessary for evaluating outputs and impact of policy, in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of public spending. The choice of indicators, and collecting, processing and interpreting of quantitative data shall be an integral part of the policy to be implemented. (shrink)

The Elementary Forms Of The Religious Life: Translated From The French By Joseph Ward Swain, M.A. This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, (...) high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING! (shrink)

"Leçons de Sociologie: Physique des Mœurs et du Droit" d'Émile Durkheim offre une exploration approfondie des concepts sociologiques liés à la moralité, aux mœurs et au droit. En tant que professeur de sociologie à la Sorbonne, Durkheim aborde ces sujets avec une approche empirique et structurale. L'ouvrage se divise probablement en deux parties : la première se concentrant sur la "Physique des Mœurs" et la seconde sur la "Physique du Droit". Dans la première partie, Durkheim analyse la manière dont les (...) normes sociales, les valeurs et les attitudes morales prennent forme au sein d'une société. Il explore les influences sur la moralité collective et examine les mécanismes sociaux qui régissent les comportements individuels. Cette partie vise à offrir une compréhension approfondie de la manière dont la moralité émerge et évolue dans un contexte social. La deuxième partie se concentre sur la "Physique du Droit", examinant la relation entre les normes morales et les systèmes juridiques. Durkheim analyse la façon dont les règles juridiques émergent et interagissent avec la moralité sociale. Il explore la fonction du droit dans le maintien de l'ordre social et de la cohésion, fournissant ainsi une perspective sociologique sur le rôle du système juridique au sein de la société. L'auteur illustre probablement ses idées à l'aide d'exemples concrets, d'études de cas et de données empiriques, offrant ainsi une approche scientifique pour comprendre les phénomènes sociaux. L'ensemble de l'ouvrage contribue à la compréhension sociologique des relations complexes entre la moralité, les comportements sociaux et le système juridique, renforçant ainsi l'héritage intellectuel d'Émile Durkheim dans le domaine de la sociologie.

We prove that in a locally finite variety that has definable principal congruences , solvable congruences are nilpotent, and strongly solvable congruences are strongly abelian. As a corollary of the arguments we obtain that in a congruence modular variety with DPC, every solvable algebra can be decomposed as a direct product of nilpotent algebras of prime power size.
