Proceedings from the IV Annual Student Symposium on Labor Law held on April 5–6, 2019, in Danišovce

The term "Industrial Revolution 4.0" is currently widely used, yet remains mysterious and its content unfamiliar to many. While we do not claim omniscience, through the educational process at the Faculty of Law of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice and the scientific research of the Department of Labor Law and Social Security Law, we have delved into examining the accompanying features and anticipated phenomena of this modern industrial revolution.

It can be stated with great certainty that this revolution already affects—and will continue to affect—production processes, including radical changes in their structure, the emergence of groundbreaking technological and communication tools, and, undoubtedly, labor relations. The rise of new forms and methods of work based on automation and digitalization, applied within new models of labor relations, is beginning to threaten jobs in certain sectors of the economy. There is an increasing demand for specialized qualifications and skills, particularly in information technology, with an emphasis on process digitalization, data processing, and the creation of communication networks connecting objects and people. This intelligent industry inevitably disqualifies many existing jobs from their current structures, leading to job losses for numerous employees. Analysts openly predict that by 2030, robots will replace up to 20 million industrial jobs worldwide.

The vision of which occupations or working conditions will be impacted is becoming increasingly concrete. Radical changes will require radical solutions as well as previously unknown movements and new elements or measures in the labor market.

Predkladaná vedecká monografia sa zaoberá problematikou Rule of Law a jeho miestom, úlohami a osobitosťami na úrovni medzinárodného práva.Predkladaná vedecká monografia sa zaoberá problematikou Rule of Law a jeho miestom, úlohami a osobitosťami na úrovni medzinárodného práva. Law ako hodnote, ktorá by mala vládnuť v jednotlivých spoločenstvách, vnútroštátnych i medzinárodných. Rule of Law je tak prirovnávané k základnej norme Kelsena, ktorá by mala stáť na vrchole právneho poriadku ako norma zdôvodňujúca platnosť a existenciu noriem právneho poriadku, vnútroštátneho i medzinárodného.
Hoci je predmetom skúmania Rule of Law na úrovni medzinárodného práva, nemôžeme o ňom uvažovať bez toho, aby sme pochopili Rule of Law vo vnútroštátnom práve. Podobne ako sa líši vývoj Rule of Law v závislosti od toho, či sa rozvíjalo v anglo-americkom alebo kontinentálnom práve, líši sa i jeho aplikácia a rozvoj na úrovni vnútroštátneho práva a medzinárodného práva. Odlišnosti spôsobujú najmä úlohy a ciele, ktoré má medzinárodné Rule of Law zabezpečiť, no i odlišné vlastnosti vnútroštátneho a medzinárodného práva.

Methodological guide for teachers for classroom lessons and civics Teaching law experientially? Is it even possible? The answers to these questions are provided by a methodological guide that uniquely links experiential learning methods with legal content. This methodological guide is a set of techniques based on the use of interactive and participatory learning methods, focusing on selected human rights and value-oriented topics, which also have the potential to develop other key competences of students, such as their communication skills, their ability to learn and educate independently, their ability to think critically, their ability to work with and analyse texts, their ability to discuss and express their opinions, and their ability to listen to each other. The methodological guide consists of a set of training activities - techniques, while each technique contains a precise description of the procedure for conducting a specific activity, the expected duration of the activity, aids, discussion topics and also a short pedagogical and legal commentary, precisely "tailored" to the specific legal topic. The legal topics are chosen to be generally applicable to both classroom and civics lessons, to raise questions about the functioning of rules and the need to respect them, mutual respect and tolerance, and to encourage reflection on the limits of individual rights and on responsibility in exercising one's rights. The techniques use training methods such as group work, brainstorming, role-playing, dealing with model situations, as well as a simulated court process. The methodological guide is intended for classroom teachers in the implementation of classroom lessons, and also for the purposes of the subject of civics, as well as for students of pedagogy at the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.

The Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the case-law of the ECtHR represent a decisive legal instrument for the evolution of the right to a fair trial in the member states of the Council of Europe and the European Union, including the Slovak Republic, which affects the minimum level of procedural guarantees for individuals in judicial and administrative proceedings.

The primary purpose of the textbook is to fill the gap consisting in the absence of a comprehensive study text for undergraduate students at Pavol Jozef Šafarik University in Košice, Faculty of Law for the planned subject Right to a fair trial in administrative issues, and doctoral students at this faculty for the subject Protection of fundamental rights and freedoms in criminal matters according to the case-law of the ECtHR.

However, this textbook is also intended as a supplementary study aid for bachelor students in order to deepen their knowledge of the subject Administrative Law II, the result of which is to acquire knowledge about procedural administrative law in the Slovak Republic, as well as the subject of European Administrative Law, the result of which is the acquisition of knowledge about the influence of Council of Europe law on the national administrative law of the Slovak Republic.

Komplex právnych noriem ochrany práce, sledujúcich zaistenie bezpečnosti a ochrany zdravia pri práci je rozsahom veľmi široký, presahujúci hranice Zákonníka práce v celom rade ďalších osobitných právnych predpisov zákonmi počnúc, kolektívnymi zmluvami a vykonávacími právnymi predpismi pokračujúc a vnútropodnikovými normatívnymi aktami končiac. Ochrana zdravia zamestnancov pri práci pred rizikovými vplyvmi pracovného prostredia je ústrednou požiadavkou, z ktorej vychádzajú základné ľudské práva garantované Ústavou Slovenskej republiky a v záujme jej univerzálneho zabezpečenia vo všetkých zamestnávateľských subjektoch súkromného i verejného sektora je jej prísna regulácia kogentnými normami plne opodstatnená. Oznámenie Komisie Európskemu parlamentu, Rade, Európskemu hospodárskemu a sociálnemu výboru a Výboru regiónov o strategickom rámci EÚ v oblasti ochrany zdravia a bezpečnosti pri práci na obdobie rokov 2014 – 2020 (COM (2014) 332 final) reaguje na potrebu zohľadnenia zmien na trhu práce vyplývajúcich z demografického vývoja, starnutia pracovnej populácie a technologického vývoja.

Požiadavky na pracovné tempo sa znásobujú, novým technológiám a zmenám v organizácii práce a v štruktúre pracovných miest sa musia prispôsobiť všetky vekové kategórie zamestnancov. S tým stúpajú i nároky na zdravotnú spôsobilosť ľudí, ktorú je potrebné si udržať počas celej profesijnej kariéry. Imanentnou súčasťou požiadaviek na zabezpečenie zdravotnej spôsobilosti je i spôsobilosť v rovine duševného zdravia, ktorého kvalite nie je špecificky venovaná osobitná pozornosť. Práve pri ochrane duševného zdravia zohráva významnú úlohu prevencia.

Všetky preventívne opatrenia prijímané zamestnávateľmi na pracoviskách je možno uplatniť až vtedy, keď poznáme a identifikujeme riziká ohrozujúce duševné zdravie zamestnancov. Sú všetky preventívne opatrenia dostatočné? Prijímajú sa vôbec také, ktoré by sledovali zachovanie nielen fyzickej zdravotnej spôsobilosti, ale aj psychického zdravia?

Vedecké študentské sympózium konané v dňoch 6. a 7. apríla 2018 v učebno-výcvikovom zariadení v Danišovciach bolo plánovanou súčasťou riešenia výskumného projektu APVV-16-0002 „Duševné zdravie na pracovisku a posudzovanie zdravotnej spôsobilosti zamestnanca“. Zborník publikovaných výstupov je rovnako podporený finančnou pomocou Agentúry pre výskum a vývoj SR.

III. ročník študentského sympózia z pracovného práva bol platformou, na ktorej mohli vysokoškolskí učitelia katedry pracovného práva a práva sociálneho zabezpečenia Univezity P. J. Šafárika, Právnickej fakulty v Košiciach spolu so študentmi diskutovať o aktuálnych otázkach ochrany a zachovania zdravia zamestnancov, a kde študenti prezentovali svoje príspevky z tejto oblasti. Pozornosť venovali všeobecným otázkam bezpečnosti a ochrany zdravia zamestnanca pri práci, skúmaniu fyzických a mentálnych aspektov zdravia z pohľadu práva na ochranu súkromia a práva na ochranu osobných údajov, vrátane prístupu súdnej praxe, posúdeniu pracovnoprávnej zodpovednosti zamestnávateľa za škodu na zdraví zamestnanca spôsobenú pôsobením nepriaznivých faktorov pracovného prostredia či nerovnakému zaobchádzaniu s osobami so zdravotným postihnutím. Zaujímavé boli názory študentov, na ktoré nadviazala obsahom bohatá diskusia všetkých zúčastnených.

Za tretí ročník sympózia patrí poďakovanie všetkým zúčastneným študentom a členom katedry pracovného práva a práva sociálneho zabezpečenia ktorí sa podieľali na jeho odbornom garantovaní a organizačnom zabezpečení.

In addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge, it is necessary to study and analyze the decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies in order to fully understand the subject of the Public International Law or disciplines closely related to it.

Since the Slovak literature in the field of Public International Law does not contain any electronic textbook of selected decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies, the authors of the submitted publication aim to eliminate this gap by elaborating the “Public International Law Casebook”, which will primarily be intended for undergraduate students of the law faculties in the Slovak republic and the Czech republic.

The proposed publication seeks to make the study of international law more attractive through a publication that will make students familiar with the decisions translated into the Slovak language in a popular electronic form.

The collection of contributions from the VII. Student Symposium on Commercial Law and Labor Law held on December 5, 2019, at the Faculty of Law of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice

The theme of this year's symposium provided students with the opportunity to choose between addressing issues related to commercial law or focusing on labor law aspects concerning the position of members of the governing bodies of commercial companies, based on an analysis of legal regulations and case law.

The creative exploration of commercial law questions particularly related to areas such as the manner of acting on behalf of a commercial company, the liability of the de facto statutory body of a commercial company, information obligations of the statutory body towards its shareholders, and the remuneration for serving as a member of the board of directors of a joint-stock company. It also addressed the liability of the statutory body for the insolvency of the company and the enforcement of non-competition clauses concerning managing directors of limited liability companies.

The connection between commercial law and labor law was directed towards a legal analysis of personal data protection related to health and its misuse by members of the governing bodies of commercial companies, as well as the legitimacy of concurrently holding a position (as a member) in a statutory body with an employment relationship, and the legal status of senior employees, particularly concerning their duties and responsibilities for ensuring employee health through creating healthy working conditions.

Zborník z III. študentského sympózia z obchodného práva

V novembri 2015 sa v univerzitnom účelovom zariadení v Danišovciach uskutočnil už tretí ročník študentského sympózia z obchodného práva. Po dvoch rokoch sympózií zameraných na právo obchodných spoločností bola strešnou témou tretieho ročníka všeobecná časť obchodného záväzkového práva. Aj v tomto roku ostalo cieľom študentského sympózia vytvoriť väčší priestor formulovať vlastný pohľad na určitú aktuálnu právnu problematiku a prezentovať výsledky vlastnej práce.
Strešná problematika umožnila zadať viaceré aktuálne témy a študenti tak mohli spracovať problémy, s ktorými sa pravdepodobne budú boriť aj v budúcej praxi. Zvolené témy nepatria medzi témy jednohlasne vnímané právnou doktrínou, resp. ustálenou judikatúrou. Práve naopak, zámerne boli zvolené témy, o ktorých niet mnoho tuzemských literárnych zdrojov. Na spracovanie jednotlivých tém tak nepostačovali bežné učebnicové či komentárové znalosti.
Zapojení členovia katedry, tak z radov učiteľov, ako aj doktorandov, pôsobili aj v tomto roku skôr ako kontaktné osoby, než ako konzultanti či vedúci práce študentov.
Primárnym účelom sympózii na fakulte je umožniť študentom prejavujúcim záujem o obchodné právo rozvinúť analytické či argumentačné schopnosti, ale aj prejavenie osobnosti študenta. Chceme, aby poslucháči rozvíjali nielen odborné znalosti, ale aj osobné schopnosti, tzv. soft skills, umenie prezentovať vlastný názor a presvedčivo argumentovať.
Výsledky práce študentov môžete vidieť v tomto zborníku.
Nám ostáva dúfať, že aj iní poslucháči budú mať záujem prehĺbiť svoje poznatky a prezentovať výsledky vlastnej práce na nasledujúcich sympóziách. Veríme, že školské kurikulum sa už nadlho podarilo rozšíriť o ďalšie fakultatívne podujatie.

Collection of contributions from the international scientific conference of PhD. students and young researchers was created as part of the international scientific conference of PhD. students and young researchers entitled "Law without borders" held on April 27, 2023 at the Faculty of Law of the University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Košice in connection with the solution of a scientific project entitled "Extraterritorial effects of foreign administrative decisions in the conditions of the European Union" supported by the Grant of the Scientific Grant Agency under no. 01/187/2022.

The aim of the mentioned project is the scientific examination of the extraterritorial impact of administrative decisions in the conditiions of the European Union, in order to determine and subsequently assess the necessity, as well as the extent of harmonization of the legal regulation of the member states of the European Union, based on the growing need to increase the level of free movement of administrative decisions within the European Union.

As part of the research project, an international scientific conference of PhD. students and young researchers was held entitled "Law without borders". PhD. students and young researchers were not only from Slovak republic but also from foreign universities. The main goal of the conference was to emphasize the increasing globalization of law, as a result of which it is no longer possible to perceive national law in isolation, but in correlation with the legal systems of other states, or with the right of transnational, or international organizations, as well as obligations arising for individual states from concluded international agreements. Individual sections and blocks of the conference also corresponded to this goal, within which not only knowledge from positive-legal disciplines, but also knowledge of a theoretical-legal and historical-legal nature was heard.
