Vyhodnocení dynamiky jízdy požárních vozidel v terénu na výcvikových polygonech
(University of Žilina, 2025) Jánošík, Ladislav; Šudrychová, Izabela; Jánošíková, Ivana
The paper summarizes the evaluation results of the basic driving dynamics characteristics of firefighting vehicles measured during off-road driving. The tests were conducted on two training polygons with different terrain elevation profiles and surface types. The first series of tests took place at the Pánov Natural Monument polygon in the Hodonín district, while the second was carried out at the Březina Military District in the Vyškov district. Fire trucks built on TATRA and SCANIA chassis were tested. The evaluation focused on average driving speed as well as longitudinal and lateral acceleration.
Managing corporate reputation for financial stability in crisis situations
(University of Žilina, 2025) Štofaníková, Zuzana; Kalamen, Kristián; Pollák, František
This study examines the financial impact of corporate reputation in the non-alcoholic beverage industry, focusing on how companies of different sizes leverage their reputation to achieve financial success. By analysing total revenue and reputation metrics (TOR and ASA) for ten companies operating in the Czech Republic between 2018 and 2022, the research explores the extent to which reputation affects financial performance. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative data, such as revenue-to-reputation ratios, with qualitative insights from case studies of Coca-Cola HBC, a global leader, and Château Valtice, a niche player. The results indicate that while larger firms effectively monetise broad reputations to secure financial dominance, smaller firms can disproportionately benefit from specialised reputations in premium segments. Limitations of the study include the scope of the data (2018–2022), the regional focus on the Czech Republic, and the subjectivity of reputation metrics. Future research could investigate international contexts and longer time frames to provide a broader understanding of the relationship between reputation and financial outcomes. Overall, the study highlights the strategic importance of reputation as a key financial lever in competitive markets.
Možnosti využitia 3D tlače na vzdelávanie v oblasti civilnej ochrany
(University of Žilina, 2025) Kubás, Jozef; Buday, Ivan
Emergency events can have severe impacts on human life, health, and property. Ensuring adequate protection requires preparedness not only from crisis managers but also from the general population. Education is a fundamental component of civil protection; however, it is often implemented inefficiently. Integrating educational tools and aids can significantly enhance the quality and effectiveness of the learning process, thereby improving readiness for managing emergencies. A variety of software solutions and tools are available to support education in civil protection, offering both instructional resources and simplified learning methods. Among these, 3D printing technology stands out as a particularly promising tool, enabling the production of a wide range of tangible teaching aids. The ongoing advancement of manufacturing technologies presents numerous opportunities to improve the educational process. This article explores, based on the findings of a conducted survey, the possibilities and effectiveness of utilising 3D-printed educational aids within civil protection training. The results highlight the added value of this innovative approach in strengthening both practical and theoretical preparedness for emergency response.
Fraktálový model posúdenia rizík (fram) – návrh
(University of Žilina, 2025) Mariš, Ladislav
This article introduces the Fractal Risk Assessment Model (FRAM), a novel approach to quantifying and visualising risk in complex physical infrastructure, such as water utilities. Traditional risk assessment methods often struggle to capture the multi-layered and spatially intricate nature of modern security systems. Drawing on fractal geometry concepts, FRAM treats risk as a spatially structured problem where critical properties can recur across various scales. The model integrates classic probability (P) and impact (D) with two key fractal indicators: Fractal Dimension (Df), which quantifies the structural complexity, and Lacunarity (Lf), representing the distribution of unprotected "gaps" or "empty spaces" within the security layout. By defining risk as Rf = P * D * (Df * Lf), FRAM provides a quantifiable measure that reflects both an object's inherent complexity and the completeness of its protective measures. The article applies FRAM to a hypothetical water utility, demonstrating its capability to identify vulnerabilities and assess risk more precisely than linear models, thereby offering valuable insights for enhancing physical security management. The article is intended for experts in risk assessment, security management, and project managers, particularly in the field of security.
