Abstract:

The need to examine the value orientations resulted from current requirements in practice. At present, the paradigm of education is changing. Contradictions of today's civilization are naturally reflected in the education and training systems worldwide. The crisis of our civilization and the current systems of education are based on a crisis of value systems, a crisis of value orientations. Value systems represent an important regulator of social behaviour as value orientations influence the expression of a personality in its actions and behaviour, in identifying and achieving life goals. This is another reason why it is important to address this issue. In this paper we deal with an analysis of research findings related to preference of values in older school age students from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Abstract:

The article considers changes in most important areas of Slovak society after 1989: dynamics of social stratification, family values, religiosity, leisure activities, voting behavior and preferences, democratic participation. The aim is to examine the contemporary position of Slovakia between the East and the West European civilization systems after two waves of social transformation in the middle and at the end of the 20th century, considering the accelerated change of the underdeveloped agrarian social structure into the industrial type under the "real socialism". However, at the beginning of the 21st century Slovak settlements still retain a strong rural character. As a result of market reforms and westernization a large part of the countryside tremble in the balance, processes of depopulation and formation of excluded social groups take place especially in small municipalities. Further still, in the context of increasing migration from cities to countryside more and more rural patterns of thinking extend to urban environments. The primarily important urban-rural line of societal differentiation, perceptions, attitudes and voters decision-making process are analyzed on base of Slovak sociologists' research. They discovered the phenomenon of historic “embedding” of the party type gaining the voters' support and commitment to one-party system, starting from the Inter-War Period till present. Slovakia represents the case of the weak left-right party profiling and inclination to various “parties of collective identity”. Definitive significance of ethnicity and religion as divisions in mass political orientations, traditionally characterized by the emphasis on leftist orientations, social rights and value of nation are shown in the paper. According to results of the latest socio-empiric studies in the country, most people in Slovakia (mainly the so called “loosers”) did not adopt neoliberal, Western-type path of development, regarding the existing inequalities as too large, and preferring social equality in a society of poor to social differentiation in a society of abundance. Social rights are estimated by the majority of Slovak people higher than political rights now.

Abstract:

The development of society is being affected by a range of potential risks and threats. The very existence of these threats negatively influences the level of safety as well as the sustainable development of society. Given that security is one of the fundamental building blocks of civilization for citizens, social groups, states and the overall international community, it is vital to eliminate such threats. This paper focuses on the specifics of security in the territorial units of the Slovak Republic. Regional safety is affected by several factors and activities carried out within a region. A spatial plan is developed for the purpose of permanent harmonization of ongoing activities in a region. This plan, being the fundamental strategic document of an area, does not sufficiently incorporate the issue of security or its improvement; thus, it does not include preventive measures in it. Bearing the above-stated in mind, this paper first points out developing tendencies in the area of security within the Slovak Republic and further identifies the potential and real risks and threats directly affecting the citizens living in the regions. The principal focus of the paper is to describe and define the concept of the activities needed to design territorial planning documents, while at the same time maintaining an active role in minimizing the threats and risks in a selected territorial unit. Keywords: security, territorial units, spatial plan, preventive measures;

Abstract:

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally. Most can be prevented by addressing behavioral risk factors, where advanced practice nurses- clinical specialists in cardiovascular nursing play a fundamental role. This modern and effective role is based on advanced activities, knowledge, skills, and experience in a specialized field, which can make a significant contribution to solving the problems of these civilization diseases. The aim of this work is to explore the self-perception of advanced-practice nurses (APNs) working in cardiology and vascular medicine departments within the context of advanced-practice nursing. Methods: This quantitative exploratory study included 103 APNs working in cardiology and vascular diseases departments of specialized hospitals in Slovakia. A validated instrument was used. Results: The overall perception was at the level of 68.01%. The highest-rated domain was the outcomes for patients/clients, and subdomains were meeting the needs, education of healthcare workers, and quality in relation to management. There was a significant difference found among hospitals with a better scoring of specialized institutions. Conclusion: There have been promising advances due to the current legislation in Slovakia defining APNs and specialists’ competencies. However, the practice in nursing for CVD patients remains fragmented, uncategorized and less valued by stakeholders and the public. According to the results, nurses have the potential and preparedness for this role in the context of their knowledge and skills in general. The Authors conclude that there is a need of such specialization of APNs in Slovakia.

Abstract:

The area of the Slovak Republic has served over history as a ‘melting pot’ of civilizations and migrations. Thus during numerous conflicts and wars it turned into a stage of military operations. It is remarkable that a relatively small surface of the country gave so much space to numerous armies. Those campaigns have left many traces, represented by battlefields, monuments and also movable items, militaria. However, since Slovakia is a relatively young republic, several problems are present with respect to building military museology on the national level. In the past, Slovakia’s military museology was presented mostly in museums in other countries. The fall of the Communist regime enabled to transform the existing military museums into serious institution to present and research into the national military history. Currently, the process of the development of military museology in our country can neither be considered as completed nor as satisfactory.

Abstract:

AbstractThe paper focuses on the thinking of Jonáš Záborský (1812–1876) and Štěpán Launer (1821–1851), which were marginalized in Slovak national-forming thinking. Emphasis is placed on the comparison between non-romantic nationalism and Štúr’s ethnic enthusiasm. Attention is paid to the value of their thinking, which can be analyzed in the context of reflections in the role of cultural identity in Štúr’s conception of culture and its place in relation to European cultural and civilizational affiliation. At the same time, the critique of romantic thinking draws attention to the issue of the responsibility of nation-forming elites for the concept of civic development, which holistically approaches social change. Launer’s and, partly Záborský’s thinking draws attention to the dangers associated with the romantic search for ethnocultural specifics, which may result in the questioning the importance of civil liberties and Western cultural and civilizational affiliation.

Abstract:

The study examines contemporary discourses in two small Central European states, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The aim is to analyze how key domestic political players discursively construct foreign policy vis-à-vis the migration crisis. Securitization, a concept developed by the Copenhagen School, serves as an analytical framework for revealing the kinds of discourse being produced in the two countries. The analysis of the discourse of the Prime Ministers from 2015 to 2018, indicates that in the Czech Republic and Slovakia foreign policy is being constructed around the issue of Europeanness (belongingness) and accommodation in the core-periphery spectrum. The article shows that the construction of external threats is done in different security sectors in each country, but in both it seems to promote the in-group coherence needed to affirm their belongingness to Europe, and it no longer happens on grounds of ethnically defined nations, but on grounds of the broader idea of civilizational Europe.

Abstract:

AbstractSince the United States committed to withdraw from the UN Paris Agreement on climate change, international observers have increasingly asked if China can take the lead instead to raise global ambition in the context of a world leadership vacuum. Given the country's increasing economic and strategic focus on sustainable and low-carbon innovation, China might seem well placed to do so. However, much depends on the direction of governance and reform within China regarding the environment. To better understand how the government is seeking to make progress in these areas, this article explores key political narratives that have underpinned China's policies around sustainable development (kechixu fazhan) and innovation (chuangxin) within the context of broader narratives of reform. Drawing on theoretical insights from work that investigates the role of power in shaping narratives, knowledge and action around specific pathways to sustainability, this article explores the ways in which dominant policy narratives in China might drive particular forms of innovation for sustainability and potentially occlude or constrain others. In particular, we look at ecological civilization (shengtai wenming) as a slogan that has gradually evolved to become an official narrative and is likely to influence pathways to sustainability over the coming years.

Abstract:

The Etruscan city states flourished in westcentral Italy from the late 8th century BC until their conquest and absorption by the emergent state ofRome in the 4th century BC. In 1985 Italy celebrated the century or so of work on its oldest civilization with a series of major exhibitions under the slogan, ‘Buongiorno Etruschi’ (‘Good morning, Etruscansi!’). There were eight major exhibitions in Tuscany displaying over 5000 objects from all the major collections in the region, designed to cover most aspects of Etruscan culture – settlement systems, domestic and religious architecture, religion, everyday life, crafts, and artistic achievement. As the sponsors FIAT wrote in their preface to the splendid catalogues produced for the project (e.g. Camporeale 1985; Carandini 1985; Cristofani 1985; Stopponi 1985), the intention of this massive undertaking was to convey to the Italian public that the Etruscans were not just a dead civilization known above all for the way of death of its élite, but ‘a lively culture of ordinary people, merchants, and craftsmen’.

Abstract:

Globalization in its broadest sense is part of the strongest external environmental forces that affect organisations today (Daniels, Radebaugh, & Sullivan, 2011). Despite the “slogan” that globalization is likely to produce homogeneity in various cultures, different civilizations of the world will reassert themselves to preserve their cultural heritages. This means it is necessary to consider the dynamics of the continued interplay between various trends in world cultures and the process of globalization. Moving from these considerations, cross-cultural management research seems to be the natural framework for using the term globalization. Cross-cultural research has received considerable attention by management scholars. The purpose of this study is to understand the connotation of the term “global” used in the context of cross-cultural studies and the enrichment of his meaning in the last four decades. To achieve it, the authors use a computational linguistic tool, namely an automatic textual analysis software, by means of which they locate and extract specific linguistic expressions. This allows retrieval and location of a series of concepts that denote and connote the term “global” over the last four decades.

Abstract:

The first thing to know when starting to climb a hill is where the summit lies. The second is that there are no completely painless ways to get there. Failing to know those things may lead one up a deceptively easy path that never reaches the top but meanders off into a dead-end, frustrating the climber and wasting energy. The currently popular slogan of “sustainable development” threatens to become such a road. Though appealing at first view, it appeals particularly to people who are disheartened by the long, arduous hike they see ahead of them or who don’t really have a clear notion of what the principal goal of environmental politics ought to be. After much milling about in a confused, contentious mood, they have discovered what looks like a broad easy path where all kinds of people can walk along together, and they hurry toward it, unaware that it may be going in the wrong direction. When contemporary environmentalism first emerged in the 1960s and ′70s, and before its goals became obscured by political compromising and diffusion, the destination was more obvious and the route more clear. The goal was to save the living world around us, millions of species of plants and animals, including humans, from destruction by our technology, population, and appetites. The only way to do that, it was easy enough to see, was to think the radical thought that there must be limits to growth in three areas—limits to population, limits to technology, and limits to appetite and greed. Underlying that insight was a growing awareness that the progressive, secular, and materialist philosophy on which modern life rests, indeed on which Western civilization has rested for the past three hundred years, is deeply flawed and ultimately destructive to ourselves and the whole fabric of life on the planet. The only true, certain way to the environmental goal, therefore, was to challenge that philosophy at its foundation and find a new one based on material simplicity and spiritual richness—to find other ends to life than production and consumption.

Abstract:

Interest in the health of the population is intensifying today. The main reasons include social, political and economic changes, but also the ongoing pandemic related to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Due to many demographic changes in recent years, the study of the health status of the population emphasizes one of the demographic processes, which is mortality. The structure of the causes of death is very often monitored. After the stabilization of mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases in the eighties, civilization diseases such as circulatory system diseases and tumors came to the forefront of social interest in Slovakia. This indicator is also important in terms of the right direction in the field of regional development in relation to health care in individual regions. The aim of the paper is to characterize the structure of causes of death in regional cities of Slovakia. This paper will be based on data from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic for the period 1996-2017. The main methods used in the work will be methods of analysis, synthesis, as well as graphic and cartographic methods. In all regional cities of Slovakia, diseases of the circulatory system clearly dominated in men and women during the entire period under review. They were followed by cancer and external causes. The group of five most common causes was supplemented by diseases of the respiratory and digestive system.
