Development Cooperation and Slovakia in 2009

Author(s): Ján Mihálik,Peter Brezáni / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The year 2009 was, from the point of view of Slovak official development assistance (ODA or Slovak Aid hereafter), the first year of implementing the new Medium-Term Strategy for Official Development Assistance of the Slovak Republic for the years 2009-2013. It was also significant for the efforts to take steps in the desired strategic direction. On the other hand, it also bore the consequences of the hectic transformations made in the previous years as well as of continual personnel changes. Ostensibly it could even be labeled a year of search for a sure footing for the very first step in the direction set by the Medium-Term Strategy. What is, however, left out of this orientation are important pillars such as properly determined systems, a personnel base, evaluations and expert discussion to enable the specific practical implementation of plans. It was at the same time the last year before the expected milestone represented by a commitment to be achieved by Slovakia and other new EU Member States adopted by the Council of the European Union, i.e. to earmark 0.17% of their GDP for development assistance in 2010. All indicators show quite unambiguously that the obligation (just as with the other countries) will not be met on our part. The year 2009 was, inter alia, a year when the winds of the global economic and financial crisis were seen for the very first time within the ODA budget. This was distinctly in evidence as the national budget for 2010 was being drafted: the volume of funds earmarked in the draft budget for the project part of development cooperation was, compared with 2009, reduced by 60%, while several ministries did not plan any financial means at all for development cooperation of their own. Finally, the issue of climate change impacts on our ODA was fully broached in 2009. Although not visible at the moment, a new priority broke into Slovak development assistance that will in an important way influence Slovakia’s thinking in the area of development assistance in the coming years.

Countering Subversion Online: What Role for Public Policy?

Author(s): Edward Christie / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This final chapter aims to offer a synthesis of the main vulnerabilities that liberal democracies contend with, as they encounter contemporary forms of political subversion, and to propose a set of policy principles to guide ongoing reflections on how to best respond to that challenge. Four areas of vulnerability are identified, namely individualized political messaging; group dynamics and political polarization; platform algorithms and self-radicalization; and falsehood dissemination dynamics. In discussing each of these areas, insights are drawn from both very recent and more established academic research, at the crossroads of psychology, social psychology, communication studies, and political science. This leads to framing elements for the formulation of proposed policy principles, followed by examples of recent measures in selected countries.

Perspectives on conflicts and potentials in a changing neighbourhood: Berlin-Neukölln and the role of urban governance

Author(s): Manuela Freiheit,Kristina Seidelsohn / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Cities operate more and more like enterprises as they are confronted with an increasing global competition for investments, business locations, fairs and tourism, as well as scientific and creative excellence. On the other hand, economic, political and social changes since the late 1960s have caused mounting social and urban fragmentation which has led to upward revaluation or devaluation of some inner-city districts. Those neighbourhoods are characterized by a concentration of developmental, ecological, infrastructural and socio-economic problems as well as ethniccultural diversity (cf. Franke et al., 2000:244ff.). Based on the assumption that the process taking place in these areas reinforce themselves continuously, many American and European cities developed political programs in the early 1990s to counteract the 'downward spiral' by bringing different sectors of local government and civil society together.

Utdanning for fremtiden i et europeisk perspektiv

Author(s): Dan Roger Sträng / Language(s): Norwegian Publication Year: 0

Hver nasjon har sin egenart. Noen ganger virker det som om vi undervurderer hvor komplekst det er å forklare og forstå det som kjennetegner andre nasjoner og folkegrupper. Kunnskap og kompetanse utjevner forskjeller mellom ulike grupper og øker de unges muligheter til å velge yrke og oppnå livskvalitet (Giota, 2014). Uten kunnskap har vi vanskeligere for å forholde oss til omverdenen, og standpunktene våre i ulike spørsmål blir vage og tvetydige. Kategoriseringer og forutinntatte meninger fører til fordommer og økt avstand mellom mennesker. Én måte å definere likeverd på er menneskers rett til utdanning.

ПРЕВАНТИВНИ МЕРКИ И ДЕЙСТВИЯ ПРИ ПОЖАР НА БОРДА НА КОРАБ

Author(s): Radostin Dolchinkov,Ivan Popov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Fires and accidents during shipyard repairs are often accompanied by the dumping of individual crew members or workers overboard and many casualties. There are many examples in the literature of fires that occurred in ships during repairs. The extinguishing of fires in the ships located in the port of the berth until the arrival of the bodies of the General Directorate for the Prevention of Corruption shall be supervised by the master of the ship. Upon the arrival of the coastal fire services, the fire-fighting management of the captain passed to the senior chief of the General Directorate of Firefighting and he became the head of operational operations. A firefighting headquarters shall be set up and must include the master of the ship or his first assistant and a representative of the ship repair port.

Sinop UniversityA Wetland Management Planning: Problems and Threats Affecting Gökçeada (Aydıncık-Salt Lake) Lagoon

Author(s): Mehtap Bayrak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Gökçeada Lagoon is located in the southeast of Gökçeada, the largest island of Turkey. The lake, which is also called Aydıncık Lake or Salt Lake, showing the characteristics of a typical coastal lagoon with its fresh / salt water transition, coastal cords and its ecosystem, was included in the list of "Wetlands of National Importance" with 3.491 ha on 07/02/2019 and gained protection status. Agricultural activities are carried out on fertile alluvial lands around the lake, which was formed as a result of filling a depression area in the south of the island, which has a generally defective structure, with materials carried by waves, winds and rivers, and tourism activities are intensively carried out in the summer months on the coastal coast and dunes. In the lake, which is the centre of attention of local and foreign tourists, the salt layer that emerges with the withdrawal of water due to drought and evaporation in the summer season is used for health purposes by local and foreign tourists, but the use of salt has not yet been introduced to health tourism with certain laws. In the study, it is aimed to prepare a "lagoon management planning" for the solution of environmental and ecological problems that arise despite the protection status of the lake and the framework of coastal laws. It has been determined that the greatest pressure on the ecological, biological and morphological system around the lake is caused by intensive tourism activities, agricultural activities, pollution from domestic wastes and recently increasing construction works. In order to determine the use of the lagoon and the surrounding area, a land use map was prepared using the data of 2022. For coastal change detection, 1985, 2004, 2012 and 2020 satellite images were used to determine the shoreline change and it was determined that there was no change in the lake level. The lack of level change indicates that the lake is fed from different sources. For the management planning of the lagoon and its surroundings, SWOT analysis was applied, each land cover and use types were analysed separately and a wetland management plan was prepared.

Türkiye’deki Arazi Toplulaştırması Üzerine Bir Etki Analizi: Problemler, Stratejiler ve Politikalar

Author(s): Aydın Usta / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Türkiye’deki tarım işletmelerinin büyük bir kısmı yeterli büyüklükte olmadığı gibi, tarımsal araziler de oldukça parçalanmış ve verimli biçimde işlenemeyecek duruma dönüşmüştür. Arazi parçalanması, bir işletme toprağının çok sayıda parçalara ayrılarak, toprak genişliğinin küçülmesidir. Arazi parçalanması ile birlikte işletmeler küçülmektedir. Parçalılık ve dağınıklılık tarımsal yapıda maliyetleri yükseltmekte, dolayısıyla etkililiği ve verimliliği azaltmaktadır (Küsek, 2014: 16).

Ислямът: митове за заплаха на сигурността в Европа

Author(s): Asen Kolev Asenov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The topic of Islam is extremely relevant for Europe because it directly affects the security and existence of the continent. Before evaluating and analyzing Islam, one must know the theology of the religion, as claimed by the famous Islamic scholar D. Exposito. Glenn Beck takes an opposite negative position. All three monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – have passed through the stage of violence. Islam has a number of specific manifestations in European countries that must be taken into account as they are closely related to their social peace and security.

Statistical Simulations for Measuring Operational Risks

Author(s): Edvard Špaček,Jiří Špaček / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Under Basel II methodology there are distinguished three main risks - market, credit and operational risk. In all cases, it is possible to determine the capital requirement using the basic method, which consists of multiplying the size of the exposure by a predefined coefficient. At the same time, a more advanced approach is allowed for all categories, subject to regulatory approval. The capital requirement may be calculated on the basis of the VaR (ValueAtRisk) risk acquiring method. In the case of the advanced approach for operational risk (the aim of this study), only basic qualitative and quantitative requirements are defined and it is the bank’s responsibility to use appropriate methods to estimate the required amount of risk capital. Keywords – Operational risk, loss distribution, loss frequency, loss severity, composite distribution, AMA methods, LDA approaches, IMA methods, Monte Carlo methods, MILDA_E oprisk calculator, Excel simulation add-ins.

Naděje dožití se v ČR snižuje. Může za to jen Covid-19?

Author(s): Jaroslav Novák / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Naděje dožití neboli střední délka života (SDŽ), udává průměrný počet let, který má před sebou jedinec v určitém věku, pokud by zůstaly zachovány úmrtnostní poměry, které jsou ve sledovaném období. Jde o statistický údaj udávající průměrný, tedy předpokládaný věk, jehož dosahují členové dané populace Wikipedie). Celosvětově je patrný dlouhodobý vzestupný trend; SDŽ v r. 1800 se udává 31 let, v r. 2000 již 72 let. Podobný trend je patrný v Českých zemích. Ve srovnání s ostatními zeměmi EU však ČR nedosahuje ani evropského průměru (v r. 2018 muži EU 78,3 let, ČR 76,2 let; ženy EU 83,6 let, ČR 82,0 let). Ačkoliv podle prognostické předpovědi z r. 2010 by se SDŽ v ČR měla výrazně zvýšit (u mužů na 82, u žen na 87 let), v posledním decéniu se vzestup téměř zastavil a v posledních dvou letech SDŽ dokonce zaznamenala pokles. Je otázkou, zda je tento pokles jen dočasný – v souvislosti s pandemií Covid-19 – nebo zda se na něm podílejí i další faktory, které mohou být trvalejšího rázu.

HOW TO INVOLVE INFORMAL INSTITUTIONS INTO THE PROCESS OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL COMMUNITIES

Author(s): Kateřina Vyhnánková,Tomás Sýkora / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The topic of this paper is informal institutions (InIn) in community development, with a focus on rural communities. The trouble with InIn, however broadly their importance for the qualitative aspect of development is acknowledged, is that they are difficult to grasp. We therefore attempt to design and test a model that a) contributes to a more holistic consideration of these dimensions of community development and b) is realistically practicable in local development with local actors. We refer to this model as "integrated community development" ("ICD"). In designing the model, we are aware of the dynamic nature of InIn and the fundamental role of local actors. Therefore, the starting point is to identify together with them an expression for InIn that is understandable and engaging for them (as non-experts). The methodological framework is participatory action research. The main methods are in-depth interviews with locals and case studies of three municipalities following the process of validating interventions taking InIn into account. The main results are detailed findings on the operation of two of these elements: community platform and community coordinator, both in terms of site-specific solutions (situations) and in terms of contribution to generally applicable theories and practices.

STRATEGICKÉ ŘÍZENÍ PORTFOLIA NEMOVITOSTÍ VE VLASTNICTVÍ ČESKÝCH MĚST – REŠERŠE VĚDECKÉ LITERATURY

Author(s): Lucia Dobrucká,Martin Maštálka,VLADIMÍRA ŠILHÁNKOVÁ / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Czech cities own the portfolios of various real estates which need to be not only managed but strategically optimised and developed as well. However, public sector in the Czech Republic lacks methodological guidance for portfolio strategies, and cities use systems that are out-of-date. To fill the gap, authors provided the search of scientific literature concerning the strategic management of real estate portfolios owned by cities, both within the Czech Republic and world-wide. No relevant scientific literature was found in the context of the Czech Republic, and searching the Scopus database showed that this issue was neglected internationally. Only 52 texts (articles, books, and conference papers) could be connected to the topic, of which only 24 outputs related to the researched issue directly. None of the findings concerned the strategic management of real estate portfolios owned by cities in the Czech Republic. Moreover, findings did not show any common point in terms of keywords, territorial affiliation, or time limits. The topic seems to be heavily neglected; which makes it relevant for systematic scientific considerations and research.

VÝVOJ A PROGNÓZA POČTU PODNIKOV V REGIÓNOCH SLOVENSKA

Author(s): Milan Fila,Michal Levický / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

The development of the number of enterprises is of great importance for economic growth, job creation, resistance to crises or productivity growth. The aim of the article is prediction and a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the number of enterprises in Slovakia and its regions. In addition to general theoretical scientific methods, we used time analysis methods. We forecasted the number of enterprises using a linear trend. We monitored the intensity of differences in the development of the number of enterprises in the regions of Slovakia through the coefficient of variation. The main results show that the number of enterprises in Slovakia has been growing for a long time. The largest part is made up of small and medium-sized enterprises, while most of them are long-term concentrated in the capital and the surrounding area. The remaining regions have been lagging behind for a long time, and the dynamics of business growth does not reach the level necessary to mitigate regional disparities compared to the Bratislava self-governing region. The least favorable situation is in the Prešov self-governing region, where in the last ten years the number of micro-enterprises has grown, while the growth of medium-sized enterprises has been significantly slower.

Serviciile ecosistemice culturale pe care le oferă infrastructura verde urbană grupurilor vulnerabile. Studiu de caz: Municipiul Râmnicu Vâlcea

Author(s): Oana Catalina Popescu,Antonio Valentin Tache / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Along with the growth of the urban population, a sharp tendency of population aging in the cities has been observed. This raises the question of whether and how a city can become friendlier to vulnerable people. The natural environment has a major impact on the mobility and quality of life of the elderly, who must have good accessibility to urban green space. The aim of this research is the analysis of the access that vulnerable groups (children and elderly people) have to the urban green space and to the cultural ecosystem services it offers. Analyzing the demand and supply of urban green infrastructure among young and elderly people allows the assessment of social equity in terms of the cultural ecosystem services generated by urban green infrastructure. The analysis focused on the municipality of Râmnicu Vâlcea, because the present study is part of a larger work focused on the feasibility of creating a green belt around this municipality. The results show that with the decreasing trend of the young population and the increasing trend of the population over 65 years old, the two categories of population had at their disposal similar areas of green space in recent years. The area of green space related to the total population in the municipality of Râmnicu Vâlcea was in 2021 well below the minimum limit of 26 sqm/urban inhabitant and this means that the city needs more green space so that vulnerable people can benefit from the advantages offered by the urban green infrastructure. The present study contributes to the identification of areas where the concept of green infrastructure can be implemented in the form of green corridors, green wedges or green belts in Râmnicu Vâlcea municipality.

Planificarea arealului riveran, beneficiile integrării râurilor în ţesutul urban

Author(s): Ana Maria Rusu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Urban rivers have historically played crucial roles in the development of cities, serving as transportation routes, sources of water and centres of economic activity. However, rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to the degradation of these vital water bodies. This paper aims to explore the benefits of integrating urban rivers into the fabric of cities through comprehensive planning and effective management strategies. Drawing on a thorough review of pertinent literature and insightful case studies, we delve into the potential advantages of such integration, including ecological restoration, enhancement of water quality, provision of recreational opportunities, and fostering community revitalization.

Mediul construit românesc - provocări, răspunsuri şi soluţii. Conservarea şi restaurarea monumentelor istorice

Author(s): Gabriel-Valentin Georgescu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this study is to bring forth the architect’s role in the conservation process of heritage buildings, following a more traditional path in an era of technologic evolution. It is fundamentally necessary to find conservation-compatible approaches and energy solutions that allow maintaining historical and aesthetic values, while lowering energy costs and minimizing environmental impact. Our study aims to identify methods and techniques for treating and optimizing built structures with historical and/or heritage value with an emphasis on the role of the architect. The paper illustrates how the most appropriate intervention can be achieved through processes that aim to achieve sustainable restoration/conservation. There are several green technologies that might be imbedded into historic buildings in unobtrusive or invisible ways. The restoration and consolidation of historical buildings represent a large and complex challenge requiring the involvement of several competent bodies from different fields, as well as the direct involvement of the community. Through theoretical analysis and by using appropriate methods of identification, evaluation and the choice of measures and techniques corresponding to each case of restoration and consolidation, a future of these structures built to carry forward the cultural heritage of a community or nation can be ensured.
