Item Krízový manažment - celé číslo 1/2025(University of Žilina, 2025)Item Vyhodnocení dynamiky jízdy požárních vozidel v terénu na výcvikových polygonech(University of Žilina, 2025) Jánošík, Ladislav; Šudrychová, Izabela; Jánošíková, IvanaThe 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.Item Managing corporate reputation for financial stability in crisis situations(University of Žilina, 2025) Štofaníková, Zuzana; Kalamen, Kristián; Pollák, FrantišekThis 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.Item Možnosti využitia 3D tlače na vzdelávanie v oblasti civilnej ochrany(University of Žilina, 2025) Kubás, Jozef; Buday, IvanEmergency 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.Item Fraktálový model posúdenia rizík (fram) – návrh(University of Žilina, 2025) Mariš, LadislavThis 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.Item Miera implementácie manažmentu rizík v malých a stredných podnikoch v Slovenskej republike(University of Žilina, 2025) Studená, Jana; Kelíšek, Alexander; Buganová, Katarína; Hudáková, MáriaThis study investigates the relationship between the implementation of ISO management standards and the prioritisation of risk management activities in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Slovak Republic. Using a quantitative approach based on a survey of 375 SMEs conducted between 2022 and 2023, the authors tested three hypotheses regarding the statistical dependence between implemented ISO standards, the designated person responsible for risk management, and the primary focus areas within the risk management process. The results demonstrate a significant dependence between the degree of ISO implementation and both the risk management priorities and the person responsible for risk management, particularly in small enterprises. The findings indicate that while small businesses tend to prioritise risk identification, medium-sized enterprises focus more on risk evaluation. The study highlights the importance of integrating ISO standards to enhance risk management efficiency and recommends further attention to the allocation of responsibilities and resources in SMEs to improve risk governance. The implications support the strategic value of risk management integration in organisational decisionmaking and sustainability.Item Experimentálne verifikačné merania zamerané na posúdenie presnosti 3D dokumentácie trasologických stôp(University of Žilina, 2025) Adamová, Veronika; Kolla, Eduard; Szabo, LukášThe submitted article presents a partial objective of the ongoing research entitled “Investigation of the Potential of 3D Technologies in Securing and Extracting 3D Footwear Impression Traces.” This objective, also addressed within a diploma thesis, consisted of a series of experimental measurements focused on acquiring 3D models of footwear impressions created with a reference substitute shoe sole, in order to maintain repeatable conditions. The article further proposes a procedure for analysing the collected data using available software tools and for evaluating the accuracy of the applied 3D methods for documenting volumetric footwear impressions. Particular attention is devoted to the application of photogrammetry in documenting these impressions and to the subsequent extraction of their volumetric parameters along the x, y, and z axes. Such data can be especially useful for more complex biomechanical assessments, for example, when estimating physical parameters such as the perpetrator’s body weight.Item Mechatronics as a framework for developing and standardising engineering competences important for security engineers(University of Žilina, 2025) Figuli, Lucia; Castillo García, Fernando José; Ottaviano, Erika; Rea, PierluigiThe presented paper deals with the identification and evaluation of engineering competences that are important for security engineering. The skills are considered from the multidisciplinary field mechatronics, which plays a critical role in addressing crises and security challenges in the modern world. Presented results are outcomes from the international project entitled MISCE - Mechatronics for Improving and Standardising Competences in Engineering.Item Ekonomická bezpečnosť podniku v koncepte cyklu ekonomickej odolnosti podniku(University of Žilina, 2025) Prievozník, Pavol; Strelcová, StanislavaEconomic security of the enterprise is increasingly studied by scholars to address not only the profit-maximisation goal of an enterprise but also other important areas of stakeholder interest. Risk management, crisis management, and business continuity management do not focus solely on profit maximisation but also on minimising harm to the enterprise. The degree ofnharm reduction depends strongly on the enterprise’s ability to mitigate risks, take timely reactive crisis management actions, andmaintain recovery time objectives in the event of business interruption. Therefore, the enterprise, as a socio-economic system,can be characterised by capacities that enable it to build its own economic resilience. The aim of this paper is to provide a framework for the economic resilience cycle of the enterprise, based on an analysis ofliterature on ecological, engineering, adaptive, and economic resilience. The cycle consists of prevention, absorption, recovery,and adaptation phases, culminating in a higher level of prevention. Capacities such as robustness, recoverability, adaptability,redundancy, agility, resourcefulness, and flexibility are further discussed. This concept helps to understand the current state andfuture outlook of the economic security of the enterprise.Item Word focus - False friends v oblasti krízového manažmentu(University of Žilina, 2025) Môcová, LenkaThis article examines false friends - words in different languages that look similar but have different meanings and their impact in crisis management. Misunderstandings caused by false friends can lead to serious communication failures, asillustrated by real-life incidents from the medical and aviation fields. The paper identifies commonly misused English-Slovak falsefriends in crisis management terminology and emphasizes the importance of mastering them. The author proposes practicallearning strategies, including practising model sentences and creating a personal glossary, to help professionals avoid criticalmisunderstandings.
