International Students' Guide to Slovak Republic International Students´ Guide to Slovak Republic As communication and commerce has become multinational, higher education has also become increasingly international. Each year more than 1.2 million students worldwide pursue higher education outside of their home countries. Slovak institutions of higher education are responsible for advancement of education, and constant development of scientific and technological standards. One of the means to do so is to open doors to foreign students who will increase the diversity in student body. This booklet is designed for foreign students, who are interested in possibilities to study in the Slovak Republic. It informs briefly not only about the higher education but also about the history, culture, natural beauties and other aspects of life in the country. It is intended to be a small guide for foreign students including helpful hints and instructions. You will find here information you may need before you decide to consider the possible study in the Slovak Republic, as well as some practical advice for your travel and stay in the Slovak Republic.

About the Slovak Republic Geography The Slovak Republic is situated in Central Europe, sharing frontiers with Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine and Hungary. Mountains, lowlands, canyons, lakes, cave formations, forests and meadows provide many examples of Slovakia’s year-round natural beauty. It is a small country but its terrain varies impressively from lowlands to mountain ranges. Almost a half of the country is taken up by the Carpathian Arc, a range of mountains stretching across the north. The smaller ranges include the Lesser Carpathians, White Carpathians, Malá (Lesser) Fatra, Vel’ká (Greater) Fatra, High and Low Tatras and the Slovenské rudohorie Mountains (Slovak Ore Mountains). The territory is divided into administrative territorial units - 8 regions and 79 districts. The Capital is Bratislava (www.bratislava.sk). Other important university towns: Banská Bystrica www.bbb.sk Košice www.kosice.sk Liptovský Mikuláš www.liptovskymikulas.sk Nitra www.nitra.sk Prešov www.presov.sk Ružomberok www.ruzomberok.sk Trnava www.trnava.sk Trenčín www.trencin.sk Zvolen www.zvolen.sk Žilina www.zilina.sk Brief history1 The earliest traces of life in what is now the Slovak Republic date back to the early Stone Age2. The first historically recognised nation to settle in Slovakia was that of the Celts (from around 450 B.C. to the birth of Christ), whose culture represented the peak of barbarian civilisation. The remains of Celtic oppidums (elevated, fortified settlements) can be found, for example, in Bratislava3, Devín, and on Havránok Hill near Liptovská Mara. The Celts were forced out by the Germanic tribes of Marcomanni, which also fought with the Roman Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (166-180)4. Remains of the Limes Romanus – the fortifications on the empire’s northern border – have been preserved in Slovakia (for example at Rusovce, Trenčín, and Iža). 1 Pozdĺžne: časová os a kľúčové slová, v texte vyznačené tučným písmom. 2 A depiction

Slovakia is a country which has proper geological conditions for geothermal source occurrence. Kosice Basin seems to be the most prospective geothermal area – the reservoir rocks are Middle Triassic dolomites with fissure karstic permeability and basal Karpathian clastic rocks at the depth of 2100 – 2600 m, with an average temperature around 135 °C. Seismic data from the central part of Kosice basin enabled the demonstration of position, spatial distribution, morphology and tectonic structure of reservoir rocks and their Neogene overlier as an insulator.

  • Flood Environmental Impact Risk Analysis
    Urban Water Systems & Floods III 3 FLOOD ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT RISK ANALYSIS MARTINA ZELEŇÁKOVÁ1, MÁRIA ŠUGAREKOVÁ1 & PETER MÉSÁROŠ2 1Department of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Košice, Slovakia 2Department of Construction Technology and Management, Technical University of Košice, Slovakia ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to determine the degree of threat in the floodplain of the Hornád river basin and to propose measures that can be used in practice at the time of the flood. The methodology is based on the principle of FEIRA (Flood Environmental Impact Risk Analysis), where the probability and consequence of the negative impact of floods on environmental components is determined on the basis of the analysis of selected stressors. From these indicators, the degree of risk in the Hornád river basin in the event of a flood is subsequently determined. Since there are several industrial sites in the solved area, which can cause extensive pollution of watercourses in case of floods, the work also presents the calculation of the threat according to the point evaluation of pollution sources. The combination of the FEIRA process and the proposed methodology for the assessment of flood environmental damage determined the overall risk of environmental damage due to floods in the Hornád catchment area. This paper is a proposal for measures to protect against floods in the area in case of floods. Keywords: flood, environmental impact analysis, risk analysis, Hornád river basin. 1 INTRODUCTION A wide range of models and case studies are used to assess flood risks. However, internationally, these models have significant economic differences. The authors Jongman et al.

Observations from 20 stations have been utilized for areal and temporal snow cover analysis (3 of them with complete observations since 1921 and 6 since 1951, all other stations have shorter periods of observations, insignificantly interrupted series, or they have already closed their operation). After analysis of selected series we came into conclusion to reconstruct daily snow cover time series from October 1950 to April 1990 and from October 1990 to April 2004 (without and with influence of supposed climate change). The results showed that in spite of significant increase in temperature means and some decrease in precipitation totals in the November to March season no remarkable decrease in snow cover conditions occurred after 1990. Only selected results are presented in this extended abstract. Keywords: climate change, variability, snow cover 1. INTRODUCTION The Little Carpathians represent relatively isolated 80 km long mountains in south-western Slovakia (Fig. 1 left) with mean altitude of their ridge about 600 m a.s.l.

Katedra ekologie a ţivotního prostředí PřF UP v Olomouci, 37 strán, anglicky Abstrakt Predloţená diplomová práca sa skladá z dvoch samostatných manuskriptov, pričom obidva pojednávajú o suchozemských rovnakonôţkach v Západných Karpatoch. Prvý manuskript sa zaoberá spoločenstvami suchozemských rovnakonoţiek Bílých Karpát, s ohľadom na ich rozšírenie v Západných Karpatoch. Výskum prebiehal na 26 lokalitách (lesné, lúčne aj zmiešané biotopy) a študovaní ţivočíchovia boli získavaní v období rokov 2003 aţ 2009 pomocou 4 metód odchytu: zemné pasce, tepelná extrakcia pôdnych vzoriek, tepelná extrakcia priesevov opadu a individuálny zber. Celkovo bolo zaznamenaných 16 druhov a boli nájdené bohaté spoločenstvá (7-10 druhov na polovici lokalít). Medzi spoločenstvami obývajúcimi lesy a spoločenstvami lúk a pastvín existujú rozdiely. Armadillidium vulgare a Trachelipus rathkii prevládali na lúkach a pastvinách, zatiaľčo Protracheoniscus politus a Ligidium hypnorum dominovali v lesoch. Najzaujímavejšími faunistickými výsledkami boli nálezy 2 reliktných druhov a to karpatský endemit Hyloniscus mariae a Ligidium germanicum, ktorý má v Českej Republike len ploškovité rozšírenie. V druhom manuskripte sa pojednáva o spoločenstvách suchozemských rovnakonoţiek v dubovo-hrabových lesoch na území Bratislavy. Ţivočíchovia boli zbieraní pomocou metódy priesevu opadu v rokoch 1999, 2000, 2005 a 2006 na 8 lokalitách, pričom väčšina lokaliít prináleţí Malých Karpatom.

Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 33, No. 4, p. 307–320, 2014. The article contributes to a deeper understanding of agricultural terraces in NW Slovakia. The agri- cultural terraces found in 12 mountain ranges were characterised in detail on 32 localities. The slope parts of the studied terraces are on average only 2.3 m wide and current and former agricultural areas between them are on average 11 m wide. Furthermore, seventy phytosociological relevés were made on the terraces. Overall, 360 species of vascular plants were found in the relevés, 66 of which appeared regularly. The localities were evaluated by DCA analysis. The main factor influencing the species com- position appears to be the geological composition of the bedrock and, probably, the altitude as well. High coverage of the herb layer (median value 95%), low coverage of the shrub layer (median value 5%) and the absence or a very low coverage of the tree layer is typical for these terraces. Key words: NW Slovakia, agricultural terraces, vascular plants species, properties of the terraces.
