    The History of the Slovak-Hungarian “Little War” and Its Interpretations in National Histories

    The History of the Slovak-Hungarian “Little War” and Its Interpretations in National Histories István Janek Before tackling the events of the “Little War”, let us take a brief outlook on the study of it in Hungarian and Slovak historical literature. A great number of Slovak histori- ans have written on this issue producing many articles and conference publications in Slovakia. Here I would like to highlight the most important ones from four his- OPEN ACCESS torians: Ladislav Deák, František Cséfalvay, Zoltán Katreba and Ján Petrik. A lot has been written on the air warfare between the two armies as well: Juraj Rejninec and Ján Petrik from Slovakia and Iván Pataky, László Rozsos together with Gyula Sárhidai and Csaba B. Stenge from Hungary must be mentioned.1 A thorough study of the dip- lomatic aspect has been done only by István Janek in Hungary.2 Ján Petrik has worked at the local history level and he also published a short but detailed monograph on the Hungarian bombing of Spiška Nová Ves.3 Cséfalvay and Katreba are military histori- ans who work for the Slovak Institution of Military History. They focus on the mili- tary events and publish in various Slovakian historical periodicals.4 Cséfalvay has also shown the political connections of military events.5 It is the merit of the works 1 J.

    Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities1 Ladislav Macháček2 Institute for Sociology Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava Centre for European and Regional Youth Studies Faculty of Arts UCM in Trnava Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities The split of Czechoslovakia is a challenge for politicians and sociologists even after a decade. An answer is sought to the question of whether the actions of the political elite were justified in the light of the commencement of European integration and the complicated split of the big federations (Yugoslavia and Soviet Union) with the consequences for peace and European stability. An answer is sought to the question of whether the Slovak or Czech public would support or refuse their decision if they had been given a referendum on the matter. In 2003, Slovakia, along with the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Estonia and Malta, successfully concluded pre- accession negotiations for EU membership (guarantee of implementing the standards of democratic governance), which officially begins on May 1st 2004. Being more enthusiastic for the newly independent Slovak Republic does not necessarily translate itself into lesser enthusiasm about Europe and European Union. However, young people from the Bratislava consider being future EU citizens as more important than young people from the Prague The young citizens of Bratislava have much greater expectations in Slovakia’s EU membership at the level of “being” in Europe than “having” something from Europe.

Our intention was to compare the features of these two topics described by him in the late 18th century with those in the present time. We studied Augustini’s work on illnesses and death in the past. The present qualitative study was conducted in 2012–2013 in the same geographical area in which Augustini lived and worked more than two hundred years ago, i.e., the Tatra Region in Slovakia; our findings were evaluated in 2017–2018. We carried out semi-structured interviews with more than 70 informants and organised two sessions of focus groups.

    Climate Variability and Change—Hydrological Impacts (Proceedings of the Fifth FRIEND World Conference 617 held at Havana, Cuba, November 2006), IAHS Publ. 308, 2006. Factors affecting the groundwater regime in the High Tatra Mountains MIRIAM FENDEKOVA1 & MARIAN FENDEK2 1 Department of Hydrogeology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University in Bratislava, Mlynska dolina, Pav. G, 842 15 Bratislava, Slovak Republic [email protected] 2 Geological Survey of the Slovak Republic, Mlynska dolina 1, 817 04 Bratislava, Slovak Republic Abstract The groundwater regime of the Quaternary sediments of the High Tatra Mountains was studied in order to estimate factors affecting the regime, to assess the present status of groundwater resources and to outline their future development regarding the envisaged climate change. Data from 24 wells and three springs of the state monitoring network and temporary monitoring wells, as well as data on precipitation, air temperature and streamflow discharge, were analysed. Four types of groundwater level regime were distinguished based on the results of correlation matrix, factor and cluster analyses. The climatic and hydro- logical factors were identified as the principal influencing factors. The altitude is also of utmost importance controlling, through the air temperature, the length of the freezing period during which the water is stored in the drainage basin in the form of snow. The decrease in groundwater resources was documented by comparison of the present research results with results from the 1980s. Key words Slovakia; High Tatra Mountains; groundwater regime; influencing factors; factor and cluster analyses INTRODUCTION The groundwater regime develops as a result of the influence of the regime-affecting factors within a certain area.

The endocast is partially covered by fragments of the braincase. The volume of the endocast was estimated to be 1320 cc. The endocast was first studied by the Czech paleoanthropologist Emanuel Vlček, who performed metric and morphological analyses which suggested its Neanderthal origin. Vlček published his works more than fifty years ago, but the fossil is scarcely known to the general paleoanthropological community, probably because of language barriers. Here, we review the historical and anatomical information available on the endocasts, providing additional paleoneurological assessments on its features. The endocast displays typical Neanderthal traits, and its overall appearance is similar to Guattari 1, mostly because of the pronounced frontal width and occipital bulging. The morphology of the Gánovce specimen suggests once more that the Neanderthal endocranial phenotype had already evolved at 100 ka. Keywords - Paleoneurology, Neanderthals, Natural endocast, Central Europe. The Gánovce endocast (Vlček, 1949).

Abstract: The issue of public transport accessibility of localities and regions is one of the key research themes of transport geography. The EU defines public transport as one of the services of “general economic interest”, which means that its organization should be based on the principles of solidarity and equal access for all citizens of the state and its regions. The study of transport accessibility of 13 district centres in the peripheral and economically underdeveloped Prešov administrative region (Slovakia) from the municipalities of their immediate hinterlands expressed by the number of direct bus and train connections is aimed at identifying the spatial differentiation of individual intraregional accessibilities. The realization of the research pursues the objective,to point out by the comparison of the theoretical and real values of direct transport connections, to the possible existence of discrepancies in the public transport services of individual municipalities in relation to their higher hierarchical district’s centre.

Swedish officials and religious leaders used their diplo- matic correspondence with the Slovak government to extract some Jewish individuals and later on the whole Jewish community of Slovakia from deportations by their government and eventually by German officials. Despite the efforts of the Swedish Royal Consulate in Bratislava, the Swedish arch bishop, Erling Eidem, and the Slovak consul, Bohumil Pissko, in Stockholm, and despite the acts taken by some Slovak ministries, the Slovak officials, including the president of the Slovak Republic, Jozef Tiso, revoked further negotiations in the autumn of 1944. However, the negotiations between Slovakia and Sweden created a scope for actions to protect some Jewish individuals which were doomed to failure because of the political situation. Nevertheless, this plan and the previous diplomatic interventions are significant for a description of the almost unknown Swedish and Slovak efforts to save the Jews of Slovakia. Repeated Swedish offers to take in Jewish individuals and later the whole community could well have prepared the way for larger rescues. These never occurred, given the Slovak interest in deporting their own Jewish citizens and later the German occupation of Slovakia.

Contemporary findings (2013) were compared with those from the first monothematic work on Roma (1775) depicting their housing and eating habits. Methods: Data come from a journal (1775) and from semi-structured interviews (2013) with more than 70 Roma women and men who live segregated in excluded settlements at the edges of villages or scattered among the majority. Data were collected in two villages and one district town in the Tatra region, where data from the 1775 measurements originate. We used classical sociological theory and new ethnography to interpret the obtained data. Results: The main findings showed differences between specific social classes then and now regarding housing as well as eating habits, related to both conditions among Roma in the Tatra.
