Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka Bratislava Region Regions—which are sometimes difficult to depict accurately on maps—may be based on economic activity, climate and topography, cultural history, or location relative to other regions. One region may be defined in terms of the vast desert that dominates its landscape, whilst another may exist because its residents follow a common religion and speak one language, or be dependent on a single agricultural crop. Many regions cross national borders, but others exist entirely within a single state. Despite the difficulties in defining regions precisely, they are extremely useful to geographers because they are based on the meaningful social, cultural, and economic factors that produce a distinctive geographic identity (referaty.sk). Since 1949, Slovakia has been divided into “kraje” (singular "kraj";translated as "Regions"). Their number, borders and functions have been changed several times. Every Regions has been devided in okresy (districts). There are currently 79 districts of Slovakia. Now, Slovakia has 8 Regions: 1. Bratislava Region (Bratislavský kraj) 2. Trnava Region (Trnavský kraj) 3. Trenčín Region (Trenčiansky kraj) 4. Nitra Region (Nitriansky kraj) 5. Žilina Region (Žilinský kraj) 6. Banská Bystrica Region (Banskobystrický kraj) 7. Prešov Region (Prešovský kraj) 8. Košice Region (Košický kraj) Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka Before 1949, Slovakia was not devided into Regions, but into comitatuses (It was administrative unit in Hungary Kingdom from the 10th century to 1918) (wikipedia.org). Bratislava region is devided into 8 districts: 1. Bratislava I 2. Bratislava II 3. Bratislava III 4. Bratislava IV 5. Bratislava V 6. Malacky District 7. Pezinok District 8. Senec District Total area: 2,053 square kilometres. Total population (2001): 599,015. Population density: 301/square kilometer (wikipedia.org). Bratislava I-V make Bratislava city. BRATISLAVA Bratislava is a capital city of Slovakia, the absolute location is: 48°9' N, and 17°7' E. Before 1919 Bratislava was name as Prešporok in Slovak and Pressburg in German and English; Pozsony in Hungarian. In 1918 temporarily: Wilsonovo mesto (i. e. "Wilson City", after U.S. President Woodrow Wilson). It has population about 450,000. Bratislava lies on the River Danube. It's only 60km (50-75min by train, 45min by car) from Vienna. One of the most conspicuous buildings of the town is the Bratislava Castle. Castle of stone was built in the 10th century. It was turned to Gothic style in 1430, in 1526 to Renaissance, and in 1649 a baroque reconstruction took place. In 1811, the castle was destroyed by fire by the soldiers of the barracks and was in ruins till the 1950s, when it was reconstructed mostly in its former Maria Theresa style. Devin is another castle in Bratislava(in western part of Bratislava). It is situated on the top of a high rock at the point where the March (Morava) river, which forms the boundary between Austria and Slovakia, falls into the Danube. Another important building in Bratislava is the St. Martin's Cathedral. St. Martin's Cathedral is a Gothic edifice of the 14th-15th century replacing an older church from the 13th century, in which many of the Hungarian kings were crowned. The tower of St. Martin's Cathedral is 85m tall. Bratislava observation tower is “Kamzik”. Kamzik is TV Tower, which tall is 200m. Tower is the highest tower in the city. Kamzík TV Tower was built in 1975, it's 638m above see level and has an observation deck open for visitors and it has interesting design. On the lowest floor is Restaurant with great views over Bratislava (en.wikipedia.org). The main industrial branches in Bratislava are the petrochemical, chemical and food industry, wood and glass industry, printing industry, mechanical engineering and electro technical industry, which represent more than ¾ of the industrial potential of the Bratislava´s region. The export ability of the region is assured mainly by automotive production of co.Volkswagen Slovakia. There is also an important international road and railroad junction, Milan Rastislav Štefánik international airport, and a river port. Bratislava is the residence of the Slovak President, the seat of national, political, economical, social and scientific bodies and institution. It is the seat of the country's government and parliament. Bratislava houses the most important universities, art schools, secondary and primary schools. With the Slovak National Theater and the number of theaters of different kinds, concert and exhibition halls, cinemas, and various clubs it is the center of country's cultural life. So Bratislava is formal and function region (Silvanová, 65). Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka Nowadays, Bratislava became to be the most developed Region of Slovakia from economical, social, research and technical point of view. ADVANTAGES OF BRATISLAVA: • the location on the border with Austria, Hungary, close to Czech Rep. • proximity to other important cities like Vienna-60 km, Budapest-200 km, Brno-150 km • the location on crossings of important international links - waterway, highway, airlines... • centre of banks, businesses • residence of the President, Parliament, Government and other institutions • centre of education and research-strong intellectual basis for future development • centre of sports (ohkbrno.cz) The small Carpathian Wine Route In Bratislava region, there is formal region – The Small Carpathian Region created by people The wineyards are typical for this region. People of small towns in this region had the same idea and so they established The Carpathian Wine Trail. The Wine Trail connects former royal towns with viticultural tradition. The viticultural tradition and history are manifest in ancient monuments, folklore and culinary delights. There is also the rare wildlife and plantlife of the Small Carpathians, which are an ideal place for recreation. The Wine Trail leads from Bratislava through Svätý Jur, Pezinok to Modra and includes also the neighbouring communities bordering the Small Carpathians. Each town has some specific feature: Svätý Jur has a known nature reserve with lacustrine sediments and a Great Moravian fortress (10th century), in Pezinok there is a museum of viticulture, and Modra - the Pearl of the Small Carpathians - is known for its majolica. The visit may be tied with gourmet and wine-tasting (lexikon.sk). Svätý Jur It is my the best favourite region where I can spend my holiday. Sväty Jur is the first town on the route, just 14 km west of the capital. Seven hundred years ago, the town was the military hub of a dynasty of counts who ruled the region from the castle, Bielý Kameň. Over the next three centuries, Svätý Jur grew as an economic power as well, taking in money from wine and crafts until 1663, when the town was burned down by the invading Turks. The town center is picturesque and pure. Look for the vintners' houses with their high arched passageways designed to let loaded carts pull right up to backyard wine presses. Most houses still have wine cellars in their basements, and many local residents still produce their own wine, even if they buy the grapes from local farmers(lexikon.sk). Conclusion Even Bratislava region is the smallest region in Slovakia, it's the most important of all regions. There is the capital city, seat of government, parliament, a lot of business and cultural institutions. Bratislava offers great opportunities for jobs, study, and cultural. Many students want to study in Bratislava, and after finishing the school they would like living there. Therefore urbanization is increasing and this region will be larger and more successful. In my opinion life in Bratislava region is exciting, interesting and beautiful :).

    THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study.

A. Hlinku 2, 949 76 Nitra, Slovakia 2 Department of Public Administration, Faculty of European Studies and Regional Development, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Tr. A. Hlinku 2, 949 76 Nitra, Slovakia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +421-37-641-5079 Received: 31 May 2019; Accepted: 15 July 2019; Published: 17 July 2019 Abstract: The conflict of interests in agricultural land use based on the diversity of needs of private and public interest is the main problem of the current protection of agricultural land in Slovakia. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to identify factors affecting the withdrawal of agricultural land, i.e., conversion of the agricultural land to non-agricultural purposes, and to initiate a professional discussion on the concept of protection and use of the agricultural land in Slovakia. Through panel regression models, the developmental, territorial, and legislative factors affecting land withdrawal for the purpose of housing, industry, transport, mining, and other purposes were analyzed. Research has shown that developmental factors, compared to legislative ones, affect the total volume of agricultural land withdrawn in bigger scope. From the perspective of the conflict of interests between the individuals and state regarding land protection, the private interest prevails over the public one. As a consequence, agricultural land is withdrawn in suburbanized and attractive areas, where the land of the highest quality is mostly located.

  • Theoretical Perspectives on Central Europe*
    ARTICLES Theoretical Perspectives On Central Europe* WIESLAWA SURAŻSKA** Institute of Comparative Politics, University of Bergen Abstract: Various theoretical perspectives on political developments in post- communist Central Europe are considered. The paradigms of the modernisation and democratic theories are found insufficient to explain such phenomena as the renewal of ethno-regional identities that are typical of the region and sometimes lead to irre- dentism and secession. It is argued that these phenomena can be better understood in the context of Rokkan’s conceptions of state- and nation-building. Rokkan’s theory on the critical junctures in history is tested on the return of the 1991 Polish parlia- mentary elections. The map of the turnout in this elections is produced, showing the lines of the Third Partition (1795-1919) in contemporary electoral behaviour. Other examples of the re-integration of historic regions are presented and the consequence of this development discussed. Czech Sociological Review, 1996, Vol. 4 (No. 1: 3-17) The first surge of the literature on post-communist transition concentrated on the nascent democratic institutions and developing markets. These are typical issues that democratic theory – wherein democracy is understood as a redistributive mechanism – addresses. From such a perspective it is easier to understand the way in which wealth is distributed and institutional constraints are challenged in the established democracies, with their de- fined boundaries, entrenched institutions, operating markets and social structures already in place. It seems less helpful, however, in approaching the processes of institution- building and the major, almost revolutionary, changes of societal structures. Democratic theory does not address the issue of state-making and political integra- tion as processes with their own dynamics nor can it handle the problem of territorial ten- sions generated by these processes.

  • Collectiones Museorum Manuscripta Castreniana Realia II, Ethnographica 1 Travaux Ethnographiques De La Société Finno-Ougrienne XXII
    Matthias Alexander Castrén Matthias Alexander Matt hias Alexander Castrén (1813–1852) was by far the most signifi cant Finn- ish linguist of the 19th century. In addition to being a linguist he was also a multidisciplinary scholar, equally versatile in the fi elds of ethnography, folklore, mythology, archaeology, history, and human geography. He left behind a huge corpus of fi eld data, collected by himself during prolonged expeditions to Kare- lia, Lapland, Arctic Russia, and Siberia between 1838 and 1849. In the short peri- ods of time Castrén spent in an academic environment, he had litt le opportunity to synthesize his collections, a situation aggravated by his rapidly progressing and ultimately fatal illness. Th erefore, a major part of his scholarly heritage re- mained unpublished when he died. Castrén was appointed Docent of Finnish and Ancient Nordic Languages and Tribes at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki in 1841, and ten years later he became the fi rst Professor of the Finnish Language. M.A. Castrén considered ethnology as a historical science and an instru- ment for describing the early periods of Finnish history. On his expeditions, he carried out ethnographic observations and took notes of the dwellings, cos- tumes, way of life, and customs of indigenous Siberian peoples. According to the programme draft ed by the Imperial Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Collectiones museorum Castrén collected ethnological artifacts for the Ethnographic Museum in Saint Petersburg, and some items for the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Helsinki. Th e present work concentrates on the collections which describe Castrén’s merits in ethnological studies and museology.

  • 1. Charakteristika Kraje a Jeho Postavení V Rámci České Republiky
    1. Charakteristika kraje a jeho postavení v rámci České republiky Pardubický kraj leží ve východní části Čech, na severu hraničí s Královéhradeckým krajem, na jihu s krajem Vysočina a s Jihomoravským krajem, na východě s Olomouckým a na západě se Středočeským krajem. Severovýchodní výběžek kraje sousedí také s Polskem. Východní částí kraje, Svitavskem a Moravskotřebovskem, prochází zemská hranice mezi Čechami a Moravou. Území Pardubického kraje se vyznačuje jedním z nejvyšších rozpětí nadmořské výšky mezi všemi kraji v České republice. Střední a západní část kraje je tvořena úrodnou Polabskou nížinou; nejnižší bod (201 m n. m.) přitom leží při západní hranici kraje na hladině Labe u Kojic. Severovýchod území ohraničuje jižní část Orlických hor a nejzápadnější svahy Hrubého Jeseníku. Na jihu a jihovýchodě je území kraje lemováno vrchovinnými oblastmi Žďárských vrchů a Železných hor. Orlické hory, Žďárské vrchy i Železné hory přitom patří mezi chráněné krajinné oblasti. Nejvyšším bodem kraje a jedním z nejvyšších míst České republiky je Králický Sněžník (1 424 m n. m.) ležící v severovýchodním výběžku kraje. Celá oblast Králického Sněžníku byla vyhlášena národní přírodní rezervací. Rozdíly v klimatických podmínkách uvnitř kraje souvisí s výraznými rozdíly nadmořských výšek. V severozápadní nížinné oblasti převažuje teplejší a sušší klima, směrem na východ a k jihu se podnebí mění v chladnější a vlhčí. Na základě údajů Českého hydrometeorologického ústavu dosáhla v letech 2000 – 2005 průměrná roční teplota vzduchu měřená v Pardubicích (stanice letiště; 225 m n. m.) 9,6 ºC; průměrný roční úhrn srážek činil 534,5 mm. V okolí Svratouchu (737 m n. m.) byla ve stejném období průměrná roční teplota vzduchu 6,7 ºC a roční úhrn srážek 804,9 mm.
