Analysis of elections to the bodies of self-governing regions in the Slovak Republic Elections are an essential part of any democratic country. With the establishment of self-governing regions, the first elections to the bodies of higher territorial units took place in Slovakia in 2001. Through them, voters can influence decisions at the regional level and be fully involved in decision-making processes. Only through elections is it possible to ensure the full participation of the population in decision-making on regional policy, which is ensured by the second level of regional self-government. The aim of the article is to analyze the constitutional regulation of regional elections in the Slovak Republic, to analyze all regional elections held since 2001 with a focus on voters participation, causes of non-participation and certain specifics that result from individual elections. Last but not least, the aim is to assess the participation of independent candidates and their growing popularity among voters. URL: https://vsas.fvs.upjs.sk/

JUDICIAL CONCENTRATION OF PROCEEDINGS IN THE LIGHT OF THE SETTLEMENT OF FACTS BASIS OF ADJUDGMENT IN CIVIL DISPUTE PROCEEDINGS Koncepcia silného sudcu v aktuálnom poňatí civilného sporového konania, ktorá korešponduje s princípom arbitrárneho poriadku podľa čl. 10 Civilného sporového poriadku, dáva súdu možnosť "režírovať" priebeh súdneho konania, a to najmä záväznými pokynmi pre sporové strany, ako aj určovaním lehôt na ich realizáciu. Tento aspekt sporového procesu kladie veľký dôraz na procesnú diligenciu sporových strán, ktoré sú v prevažnej miere zodpovedné za výsledok sporu. Sudcovská koncentrácia konania umožňuje súdu sankcionovať nehospodárne správanie sa strán v prípade, že prostriedky procesného útoku a procesnej obrany uplatnia oneskorene. The concept of a strong judge in the current concept of civil litigation, which corresponds to the principle of homogeneity of the civil proceedings under Article 10 of The code of the civil contentious proceedings, gives the court the opportunity to "direct" the course of the court proceedings, in particular by binding instructions to the parties to the dispute, as well as by setting deadlines for their implementation. This aspect of the dispute process places importance on the procedural diligence of the parties, who are responsible for the result of the dispute. Judicial concentration of proceedings enables the court to sanction the uneconomical conduct of the parties in case they apply the means of procedural attack and procedural defense late.

The cAreworkers 2016 survey maps the situation of women from Slovakia providing elder care in Austria at the time of the survey or those who were providing care in Austria at least until 2013. The purpose was to establish where the carers are employed in Austria, what employment forms they use, how frequent is their commute to Slovakia, how did they find their current work, what kind of care do they provide, which means of transport they use, whom they take care of in Austria and under which conditions. Other sections of the survey focused on the decision to start working in Austria, on the family background and their care responsibilities before working in Austria. The survey replicates the cAreworkers 2011 survey and broadens its scope by questions about life after the return from Austria for those care workers who were no longer active in elder care provision and were living in Slovakia at the time of the survey.
