Creativity is a fundamental manifestation of human existence and is present in every human being in different forms. The creative economy is a natural environment for innovative ideas, development and exploitation of creative potential. Over the last two decades, it has been observed that creativity is gradually becoming a driving force for economies, and as a result the importance of creative industries is also increasing. The creative industry is increasingly becoming part of EU documents and policies. The governments of the creative countries gradually introduced the concept of the creative industry, the creative class and the creative city and their importance. The creative industry refers to those parts of the economy that create economic value on the basis of individual creative input or artistic talent. It is a sector based on the exploitation of intellectual property. The aim of this work is to briefly map the concept of creative economy and its measurement in the work of foreign and Slovak authors and describe the possible potential of this industry.

Ex Post

En este trabajo analizamos el ex post de una modalidad del proceso de migración intraurbana, esto es, el efecto de la decisión de moverse o buscar una alternativa de vivienda por parte de un número elevado de unidades familiares que entran en el proceso. Un análisis agregado de esta naturaleza implica acercarse a los cambios que experimenta la estructura metropolitana de la Ciudad de México al final del periodo en el que se registra el fenómeno de movilidad intrametropolitana (1995-2000). No se trata, por lo tanto, de mostrar el patrón de diferenciación espacial en un momento dado, sino de descubrir las tendencias de cambio que la estructura urbana experimenta a lo largo del tiempo, a diferencia de un corte sincrónico que utiliza variables “stock” para mostrar un patrón de distribución espacial de esas variables.Hemos subdividido la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México en anillos concéntricos y en zonas o sectores urbanos. Este es un recurso que tiene una larga historia en la geografía social urbana para simplificar los patrones de distribución de individuos y hogares con múltiples características económicas y sociales que interactúan de manera compleja en el espacio urbano. El uso de estos modelos espaciales permite apreciar las relaciones que ocurren entre las características de la vivienda, los atributos de los residentes, y su ubicación en el espacio urbano. AbstractThis paper analyzes the ex-post of one aspect of the process of intra-urban migration, in other words, the effect of the decision to move or seek alternative housing by a high number of family units involved in the process. An aggregate analysis of this nature implies examining the changes experienced by the metropolitan structure of Mexico City at the end of the period when the phenomenon of intra-metropolitan mobility was registered (1995-2000). The point, then, is not to show the pattern of spatial differentiation at a specific time, but rather to reveal the changing trends experienced by urban structure over time, unlike a synchronic section that uses stock variables to show the spatial distribution pattern of these variables.The authors have sub-divided the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City into concentric rings and urban zones or sectors. This recourse has long been used in urban social geography to simplify the distribution patterns of individuals and households with numerous economic and social characteristics that interact in a complex fashion within urban space. The use of these spatial models shows the relationships that occur between housing characteristics, residents’ attributes and their location in urban space.

A Geographical Approach for Measuring the Creative Capital. Case Study: Creative Capital Index of Slovakia Calculation of creativity index is a part of a modern quantification wave, in some cases also formulation of the spatial differentiation of social and economic phenomena required from the academic sphere by the decisive sphere. Policy makers have interest by this means to help themselves in obtaining public for their objectives. The creative capital as a sum of quantifiable creativity indicators is in this contribution operationalized including the social capital, which is out of accord with a traditional understanding of creativity following the Florida's concept of the creative class. Methods for creativity index formation are introduced at the global level of states as well as at the regional level of a given state. There are substantial differences among both indexes results and statistical data on export of creative goods (UNCTAD) that are well documented on example of USA and China. Terminological chaos associated with the concepts of creative class and economy is thus extended with a chaos in the interpretation of findings, what contributes to the critique of the Florida's concept of creative class. There arise doubts that the quantification of creativity indexes with correlation quantification with other economic and social factors as GDP, entrepreneurship, inequality, Index HDI1) (Florida 2011); is maybe right in terms of mathematics, but it does not reveal the casual connections. The research purpose of the contribution is a geographical approach to the creative capital. The case study incorporates the Slovak regions, creativity index calculation and its spatial differentiation in form of map expression. The scientific goal lies in a confirmation of hypothesis about a dominant position of Bratislava region, and thus the capital of Slovakia. A limit of calculation is the choice of indicators which were strongly determined by the accessibility of statistical data.

Nanometer period Ru/C multilayers are one of the prime candidates for normal incident reflecting mirrors at wavelengths < 10 nm. Superior performance, which requires uniform layers and smooth interfaces, and high stability of the layered structure under thermal loadings are some of the demands in practical applications. Previous studies however show that the Ru layers in the 2 nm period Ru/C multilayer agglomerate upon moderate annealing, and the layered structure is no longer retained. This agglomeration and crystallization of the Ru layers upon annealing to form almost spherical crystallites is a result of the reduction of surface or interfacial energy from die amorphous high energy non-equilibrium state of the as-prepared sample dirough diffusive arrangements of the atoms. Proposed models for mechanism of thin film agglomeration include one analogous to Rayleigh instability, and grain boundary grooving in polycrystalline films. These models however are not necessarily appropriate to explain for the agglomeration in the sub-nanometer amorphous Ru layers in Ru/C multilayers. The Ru-C phase diagram shows a wide miscible gap, which indicates the preference of phase separation between these two materials and provides an additional driving force for agglomeration. In this paper, we study the evolution of the microstructures and layered structure via in-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and attempt to determine the order of occurence of agglomeration and crystallization in the Ru layers by observing the diffraction patterns.

Spherical Bubble

Cavity nucleation and growth at grain and phase boundaries is of concern because it can lead to failure during creep and can lead to embrittlement as a result of radiation damage. Two major types of cavity are usually distinguished: The term bubble is applied to a cavity which contains gas at a pressure which is at least sufficient to support the surface tension (2g/r for a spherical bubble of radius r and surface energy g). The term void is generally applied to any cavity which contains less gas than this, but is not necessarily empty of gas. A void would therefore tend to shrink in the absence of any imposed driving force for growth, whereas a bubble would be stable or would tend to grow. It is widely considered that cavity nucleation always requires the presence of one or more gas atoms. However since it is extremely difficult to prepare experimental materials with a gas impurity concentration lower than their eventual cavity concentration there is little to be gained by debating this point.

The Relationship

This paper proposes a computation method using the equivalent magnetic circuit to analyze the driving force for the non-contact permanent magnet linear drive system. In this device, the magnetic driving force is related to the rotation angle of driving wheels. The relationship is verified by finite element analysis and measuring experiments. The result of finite element simulation is in good agreement with the model established by the equivalent magnetic circuit. Then experiments of displacement control are carried out to test the dynamic characteristic of this system. The controller of the system adopts the combination control of displacement and angle. The results indicate that the system has good performance in steady-state error and response speed, while the maximum overshoot needs to be reduced.
