Dynamická sorpční kapacita malých ochranných filtrů – průmyslové škodliviny

The aim of the study was to assess the effects of input parameters on the value of dynamic sorption capacity of small protective filters used in the civil protection of the Czech Republic. Relative humidity, the concentration of the test substance/air mixture, type of filter, year of manufacture, batch and type of sorbent, were used as the monitored parameters. The measurements were performed using a gas-air mixture bas ed on cyclohexane, ammonia, sulphur dioxide, chlorine and sulfane. MOF, MOF-2, MOF-4, MOF-5 and MOF-6-M filters were used for the measurements. It has been detected that the tested filters in many cases meet the requirements of the relevant Standard for sorption capacity, namely in cases of cyclohexane, sulfane and sulphur dioxide. It has also been established that MOF-4 filters containing medium-grained sorbent SZS-1000 attained lower values of sorption capacity than filters with CHS-5 sorbent.

Využitie vybraných metód operačného výskumu pri plánovaní ochrany síl vo vzdušných operáciách

At the beginning of the article, we characterize the purpose, conditions, utilization and objectives of force protection for air operations. We focus on selected modern methods applicable in the planning process of force protection for air operations. The article presents the research based on the Markov model, scenario method (scenario planning) and SWOT analysis in aviation with direct implementation into the planning process in this field. We briefly define the selected methods and identify their specific use in force protection planning for air operations. Specifically, we examine the method application as efficiently as possible in real-life situations (in operations) or complex exercises before the actual deployment of forces.

Vplyv horskej záchrannej služby na bezpečnosť

The paper describes the key intervention component included in the integrated rescue system of the Slovak Republic - the Mountain Rescue Service. It represents its inclusion within the integrated rescue system with the definition of the main tasks. Moreover, it specifies in detail the specific activities that this rescue unit performs in the Slovak Republic. In the Conclusions, based on processed statistical data illustrated by graphs, it points out the most frequent interventions of the Mountain Rescue Service and their number. It also highlights the justification for the interventions and their growing number over the years. In the final summary, it points to the fact that within the natural and terrain conditions of the Slovak Republic, the Mountain Rescue Service is an irreplaceable professional rescue component

Analýza vybraných indikátorov hodnotenia zmeny klímy na území SR (pre účely podpory rozvoja záchranných služieb)

The development of climate change is evaluated based on trends in long-term time series (1951 - 2018) of individual climatic elements, comparing values of individual years with the standard period in climatology 1961 - 1990 (SAŽP, 2019). The aim of the article is to evaluate climate elements, namely the production of greenhouse gases, average annual air temperature, annual total atmospheric precipitation, drought index and annual soil temperature (soil index). Data presented in the article are obtained from public reports on the state of the environment in the Slovak Republic and other related documents. In 1881 - 2018, Slovakia underwent significant changes in all monitored climatic elements. The most crucial changes occurred in 2017 and 2018.

Pompiéři, požárníci, hasiči

The present publication is the first comprehensive monograph on the historical development of fire and firefighting services in the territory of former Czechoslovakia, from the earliest times until now. The book begins with a treatise on the importance of fire to mankind and human attempts to control fire in the period of antiquity. Subsequently, the readers will familiarize themselves with the first legislation regulating firefighting in the Middle Ages and the establishment of fire brigades in the XIX century. The author then presents voluntary and professional fire service in Czechoslovakia as well as in the independent Czech and Slovak Republics. The monograph is suitably accompanied by a large number of photographs, memories of contemporaries and period materials, which have not yet been published in the available literature. Based on his long-term research, the author managed to clarify the historical development of firefighting, but also, for example, the firefighting equipment in the territory of former Czechoslovakia.

Analýza výjezdové činnosti jednotek požární ochrany na území okresu Cheb a v příhraniční oblasti

The article deals with the analysis of emergency incidents of fire protection units in the district of Cheb. The first part of the article deals with the organization of fire protection units and their firefighting areas within the district of Cheb. A considerable part of the article focuses also on the cross-border cooperation with the fire protection units on the other side of the state border. The practical part of the article deals with the statistics of emergency incidents of fire protection units. These emergency incidents have been furthermore analysed in detail according to their type. The following part analyses the emergency incidents of fire protection units in the border area on both sides of the state border. The final part of the article evaluates the results of the analysis of emergency incidents of fire protection units. On the basis of these results improvements in the field of human resources, financial security or technical means for more effective emergency management have been proposed.

The authors of the article provide an overview of relevant legal regulations in the field of mental workload and occupational health and safety in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. The article deals with the manifestations of mental workload, a risk factor in the work environment, such as stress, fatigue, monotony and mental overload. It includes recommended procedures and methods of assessing mental and sensory workload in terms of work characteristics and work environment, as well as recommended measures to reduce the level of excessive mental workload.

Testovanie mechanických zábranných prostriedkov v podmienkach Fakulty bezpečnostného inžinierstva Žilinskej univerzity

The authors describe the conditions for implementing the tests of mechanical barriers that can be used to protect protected objects. They describe examinations that can be performed directly in the conditions of the Department of Security Management of the Faculty of Security Engineering of the University of Žilina. Moreover, they also present other tests of mechanical barriers, which are not feasible at the Faculty due to insufficient equipment of the test areas. These tests are performed at Certest s.r.o. Žilina - Bytčica, with whom the Department has been cooperating for a long time in organizing various events, including a regular workshop Security Forum.

Právne prostredie na úseku krízového riadenia v podmienkach Slovenskej republiky

The issue of crisis management in the conditions of the Slovak Republic is determined primarily by the legal environment. It contains many concepts, including tasks and competencies designed for individual crisis management subjects. The tasks of the public sector in the process of solving crisis events are relatively extensive and complex. The main aim of this article is to clarify and summarize the issue of crisis management in the public sector. This is characterized in detail in a relatively large number of legislative documents. The authors discuss links and relationships between selected authorities and institutions in the crisis management system. Emphasis is placed primarily on their competencies and tasks

Komparace způsobů varování před povodněmi ve vybraných evropských státech

The aim of the paper is to point out the ability of selected states to respond to convective collisions. The paper is divided into two main parts. The first part describes ways to warn the population in selected countries. These warning methods are then analysed using the heuristic analysis. The second part of the paper describes the individual models for predicting convective precipitation and analyses how the results are presented to the population. The result of the paper is an overview of the positive aspects of the individual states analysed. It also points out the need for integrating measures into the process of forecasting warning systems at the level of the European Union.
