Predkladané vysokoškolské učebné texty tvoria základný učebný text, ktorý nemá ambíciu podať komplexný obraz pracovného práva. Z uvedeného dôvodu, pri tvorbe týchto učebných textov sa môže zdať, že niektoré kapitoly sú príliš stručné a iné neobvykle rozsiahle, vzhľadom na zameranie výučby predmetu Pracovnoprávne vzťahy vo verejnej správe v študijnom odbore Verejná politika a verejná správa. Zámerom autorky textu je uľahčiť pochopenie základných atribútov pracovného práva prostredníctvom identifikácie ťažiskových právnych inštitútov a právne významných väzieb medzi nimi s ohľadom na verejnoprávne zameranie.

Vysokoškolské učebné texty pod názvom „Finančné riadenie“ sa zaoberajú zákadnými aspektmi riadenia financií v organizácii. V samostatných kapitolách sa venujú finančnému plánovaniu nielen v podniku, ale aj na úrovni obce. Poukazujú na nevyhnutnosť manažmentu hotovosti, pozornosť je zameraná aj na tvorbu finančných politík, na spôsoby nakladania s majetkom, na nutnosť využívať vhodnú informačnú základňu pre finančné rozhodovanie.

Nestálosť trhového prostredia môže ovplyvniť finančnú situáciu v podniku. Preto je základom jeho úspešnej adaptácie vykonávanie objektívnych finančných analýz a hodnotení vlastných finančných možností. Na základe toho je nevyhnutné poznať systém kvalitatívnych finančných ukazovateľov, prostredníctvom ktorých dokážeme posúdiť finančnú situáciu a výkonnosť. Učebné texty poukazujú aj na výpočet konkrétnych ukazovateľov, identifikáciu vzájomných vzťahov medzi ukazovateľmi a ich dynamiku, vyjadrujúcu tendencie vo vývoji finančnej situácie v časovom horizonte.

Komunikácia je významnou a neoddeliteľnou súčasťou ľudského bytia. Dôležitú rolu zohráva aj v jednotlivých organizáciách výrobného a nevýrobného charakteru. Bez komunikácie by nebolo možné tieto organizácie riadiť a dosahovať stanovené ciele. Cieľom skrípt bolo spracovať problematiku komunikácie a aplikovať ju na organizácie verejnej správy. Skriptá začínajú rozpracovaním problematiky informácií, ktoré sú nevyhnutnou súčasťou každého komunikačného procesu. Obsah ďalších kapitol je zameraný na ciele a úlohy komunikácie v organizácii, na jednotlivé druhy komunikácie, na bariéry, ktoré sa môžu v komunikácii vyskytovať. Sú tu naznačené stratégie na zlepšenie komunikačnej účinnosti v organizácii a opísané špecifické komunikačné stratégie, ktoré sa v jednotlivých organizáciách pravidelne vyskytujú. Dôraz je kladený aj na komunikačné zručnosti manažérov, bez ktorých by nedokázali organizáciu efektívne riadiť a viesť svojich podriadených k dosahovaniu cieľov organizácie. Na efektívnosť komunikácie vplýva aj atmosféra, v ktorej komunikácia prebieha a získavanie potrebných informácií pomocou rôznych manažérskych informačných systémov, preto posledná časť skrípt je venovaná tejto problematike. Skriptá obsahujú 13 kapitol. Každá kapitola začína uvedením do problematiky a končí celkových zhrnutím obsahu kapitoly. Za každou kapitolou sa nachádzajú praktické cvičenia, ktoré môžu pomôcť študentom upevniť si obsah učiva a lepšie pochopiť jeho podstatu.

Recenzovaný zborník príspevkov z III. ročníka vedeckej konferencie doktorandov s medzinárodnou účasťou, ktorá sa uskutočnila dňa 15. 02. 2018 v priestoroch Fakulty verejnej správy Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach, Popradská 66, 040 11 Košice

Dňa 15. februára 2018 sa v priestoroch Fakulty verejnej správy Univerzity P. J. Šafárika v Košiciach konal v poradí II. ročník vedeckej konferencie doktorandov na tému: „Teória a prax verejnej správy“. Prvý krát malo uvedené vedecké podujatie medzinárodný rozmer, keďže sa na ňom zúčastnili doktorandi z partnerských vysokých škôl (fakúlt) z Českej republiky a Poľskej republiky, ktorí doplnili účastníkov 6 slovenských fakúlt.
Konferencia, ako tradične, prebiehala po krátkom spoločnom otvorení, na ktorom sa účastníkom prihovorila dekanka fakulty doc. JUDr. Mária Hencovská, CSc., v troch sekciách – politologickej, právnej a sociálno-ekonomickej. Každý z prednášajúcich prezentoval počas vystúpenia doterajšie výsledky svojej vedeckej práce v rozsahu zodpovedajúcom názvu a obsahu jeho príspevku. Podujatie malo vedecko-diskusný charakter, keďže po každom vystúpení, resp. skupine vystúpení podobného obsahového zamerania, nasledovala diskusia moderovaná jedným z odborných garantov konferencie.
Vedecká konferencia mala veľmi dobrú odbornú úroveň, potvrdila primeranú – a hlavne narastajúcu – vedeckú erudovanosť účastníkov, a treba len veriť, že jej obsah a získané nové poznatky využijú doktorandi pri tvorbe svojich dizertačných prác. Poďakovanie patrí všetkým vystupujúcim doktorandom, odborným garantom konferencie, ale aj tým, ktorí toto vedecké podujatie organizačne zabezpečili.

The publication is focused on discrete random processes, primarily on Markov chains, which have wide application in the field of economics and finance.

The textbook is divided into five chapters, the first of which serves as an introduction to random processes and provides definition, properties and classification of random processes in general. The second chapter discusses Markov chains with discrete time, including valuation of transitions between states and their optimal management. The third chapter focuses on special Markov chains with continuous time and emphasizes construction and solution to the system of Kolmogorov differential equations, which describe the dynamics of the process development. The last two chapters illustrate applications of Markov chains using examples of queuing system modeling and renewal theory.

Besides the explanation of basic terms, definitions and theorems with proofs, this textbook also provides number of solved examples to illustrate the discussed theory. Problem assignments are placed at the end of each chapter, so that readers can test their understanding of the content as they progress through the book. Solutions to all the problems and the list of references are provided at the end of the publication.

Peer-reviewed proceedings of contributions from the 5th year of the doctoral students' scientific conference, February 6, 2020

The dynamically evolving contemporary society creates expectations and demands among citizens for public administration to be efficient, reliable, open, professional, and fast. New theories of knowledge, in connection with constant changes, must also include practical application and reflection of these characteristics in the public administration system in practice. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to new approaches from both theoretical and practical perspectives to the application of modern public administration in the conditions of the V4 countries.

Given that public administration is an interdisciplinary scientific discipline that utilizes knowledge from a wide range of scientific fields and thus enables a comprehensive approach to solving problems of modern public administration, the peer-reviewed proceedings of contributions from the doctoral students' scientific conference are divided into three sections: socio-economic, political science, and legal. The sections eruditely respond to current public administration problems from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Considering the development of the needs of continuous education and adaptation to changes in cooperation with the provision of effective integration and use of management and marketing in sports industries, this issue is highly topical. Inserting modern trends into university teaching texts creates their "otherness", they are a prerequisite for better understanding, knowledge and the contribution of not only theoretical knowledge, but also significantly contribute to practice itself. The publication is a useful source of information not only for bachelor's students at the Institute of Physical Education and Sport of the UPJŠ, but also for students of interdisciplinary study fields and specializations.

Collection of scientific works

The year 2020 has been marked globally by an unprecedented situation related to the spread of Covid-19 since its beginning. At the start of this calendar year, as our organizational team began preparing for another edition, we still hoped that our traditional autumn conference was far away, and in this maximum optimism, we launched the organization of the jubilee 10th edition of our now-traditional conference. This conference has become a stable part of scientific and professional conference events under domestic conditions and has become a stable part of many people's work programs. However, 2020 was almost entirely filled with restrictions from its start, with these restrictions affecting even the organization of conferences. Our 10th Law – Business – Economy Conference fell victim to this current situation and had to be canceled "with gritted teeth." The situation allows us nothing but hope that in 2021 we will be able to meet at our traditional location in High Tatras. We take these meetings for granted; if this situation is good for nothing else, it at least serves as a slowdown and an awareness of our own vulnerability.

See you at the next edition of Law-Business-Economics in October 2021.

You are receiving a collection of scientific papers published in connection with the resolution of scientific projects at the Department of Commercial Law and Economic Law as the main organizer of the scientific conference, as well as other departments of the Faculty of Law at UPJŠ in Košice, and many academic workplaces both domestically and abroad. The collection is published with support from the Agency for Support of Research and Development. The editors thank all who contributed to it with their scientific articles, as well as reviewers for their valuable comments and recommendations.
