Valuation of life insurance contracts with supplement insurance - an approach in the context of IFRS 17
No full textIn: Odyssey Conference : proceedings of FEB Zagreb 16th International Odyssey Conference on Economics and Business, Dubrovnik, May 7-10, 2025 / rec. Ana Aleksić Fredotović, Mihovil Anđelinović ... [et al.]. 1. vyd. Zagreb : University of Zagreb, 2025. ISSN 2671-132X. Pp. 48-64.New trends in life insurance regulation have a major impact not only on gross written premiums reported in financial statements but also on the overall profit recognition of the insurance products. Since 2023 the IFRS 17 standard has come into force as mandatory in some jurisdictions such as local GAAP and for international insurance groups. This resulted in major changes in the actuarial valuation methods used for technical provision valuation and consecutive financial disclosures. New variables such as contractual service margin and risk adjustment for non-financial risks are part of the insurance company's liabilities and affect the total value of the economic result reported by insurance companies. The paper presents a proposal for a model for valuating portfolio of term insurance contracts with supplement insurance covers critical illness. The amount of the premium depends on the choice of the adequate actuarial assumptions, which describe in detail the actuarial assumptions and their selection. The main output of the paper is a complete valuation of a product with supplement insurance covers in the context of IFRS 17 valuation. The risk adjustment is valued using the Value at Risk method at the 70th percentile. The proper valuation of contractual service margin and risk adjustment is a necessary source of information for insurance company management to manage products not only in life insurance.VEGA 1/0096/23 Vybrané metódy riadenia rizík pri implementácii parciálnych interných modelov pre stanovenie kapitálovej požiadavky pre solventnosť

Non-parametric correlation structures and their respective embeddings in predictive analysis
No full textIn: Discover Applied Sciences. Cham : Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2025. ISSN 3004-9261. Vol. 7, no. 5 (2025), pp. 1-21.In data analysis, there is a natural connection between correlation and visual analysis. Correlation analysis enables the identification of relationships between attribute pairs in multidimensional datasets, while visual data analysis focuses on representing the data and the models that process it in a comprehensible visual form. A notable model that integrates these two approaches is the correlation structure—a graphical and visual model based on correlation graphs and correlation chains. However, traditional correlation structures are parametric, requiring an attribute of interest as an input to guide the analysis. This presents a major challenge when analyzing unfamiliar datasets or domains, where the attributes of interest are not known in advance. To address this limitation, this study proposes the design and implementation of non-parametric correlation structures—specifically, non-parametric correlation graphs and non-parametric correlation chains—that eliminate the dependency on predefined input attributes. These models are implemented in Python language to ensure broad accessibility and integration into existing data analysis pipelines. Once implemented, the concept of embedding non-parametric correlation chains within non-parametric correlation graphs is explored to enhance the interpretability of correlation structures of a dataset. The proposed approach is evaluated through case studies on five open-access datasets, varying in size from 6 to 149 attributes, and tested using five regression analysis models. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed model are determined.UGA UMB UGA-14-PDS-2025 Korelačné štruktúry a vizuálna analýza vzorov v mnohorozmerných datasetoc
Landscape-ecological problems resulting from spatial conflicts of interest in the Poľana Biosphere Reserve
No full textIn: Land. Basel : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2025. ISSN 2073-445X. Vol. 14, no. 2 (2025), pp. 1-32.This paper is focused on presenting a methodological procedure for assessing landscape–ecological problems resulting from conflicts of interest and its application in the Poľana Biosphere Reserve. The approach is grounded in the concept of the landscape as a geosystem. It examines natural and socio-economic phenomena, classifying them as either threatened or threatening. By intersecting these phenomena, spatial delineation of the conflicts of interest has been achieved. Within the Poľana Biosphere Reserve, three groups of problems resulting from spatial conflicts of interest were identified: threats to biodiversity and ecological stability; threats to natural resources; and threats to the environment of human society. A total of 121 specific threats were identified in the area. This approach is applicable to other biosphere reserves for identifying areas with conflicts of interest as the identification of spatial conflicts is crucial for the effective and targeted design of measures aimed at their mitigation or elimination, aligning with the overarching objective of biosphere reserves—sustainable development. An indispensable condition is to bridge the sectoral approach in landscape management and ensure effective communication and cooperation between individual stakeholder groups in the territory.APVV-20-0108 Implementácia Agendy 2030 prostredníctvom biosférických rezerváci
Ekonomičekije i institucionalnyje aspekty ekonomičeskogo pazvitija Indii v XXI veke
No full textIn: Terra Economicus. Rostov nad Donom : Southern Federal University, 2025. ISSN 2073-6606. Vol. 23, no. 1 (2025), pp. 103-117.This paper examines the economic and institutional aspects of India’s development in the 21st century, focusing on the analysis of the factors that determine the country’s economic growth as well as the challenges that the Indian economy currently faces. At the moment, India represents one of the most dynamically developing economies in the world, which is clearly predisposed by its positive demographic growth. India is already the most populous country in the world, which creates prospects of harnessing the labor force, as well as skilled and educated labor force, for the continuous positive economic growth of the country in the 21st century. Nevertheless, Indian GDP declined at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict lockdown and social distancing measures that were put in place to control the spread of the coronavirus. These measures led to a sharp decline in economic activity in several sectors, including manufacturing, construction, as well as services. At the same time, the Indian economy is now showing signs of recovery after the perilous year of 2021. This paper demonstrates how the Indian government has taken several measures to promote economic growth as well as various policy reforms aimed at encouraging investment and consumption for supporting the economic recovery. In this study, we also discuss the principles of institutional economics and their specificities in the case of India, in particular path dependency and others, comparing the introduced reforms and their impacts on selected indicators with China as a similarly strong and large economy.KEGA 026UKF-4/2022 India v súčasných medzinárodných vzťahoc
Подолання правового формалізму та захист конституціоналізму Словацької Республіки
No full textIn: Analityčno-porivnjaľne pravoznavstvo = Analytical and comparative jurisprudence : elektronne naukove vydannja. Užgorod : Užgorodskij nacionaľnij universitet, 2025. ISSN 2788-6018. Vol. 5, no. 2 (2025), pp. 194-202.The principles are considered the basic ones as they constitute the contradistinguished componentpart between the lawful state and another state establishment. However, it would be naive to think and to rely on the reality that the only creation of the basic principles is sufficient for the further legal state “life”. Therefore, it is needful to implement the legal state principles into the everyday decisionmaking activities of the public power bodies, and at the same time to maximize the safeguarding of their protection while refusing the exclusive authority of lawmaker.
None of the modern constitutions is value neutral, on the other hand there are based on the relatively complex value system that are appreciated and respected by the state and safeguards their protection by means of the public power bodies. However, the protection of the most fundamental values is important, and it must be maximal, but it cannot be hampered by the strict following of the legal norms. The protection of the democratic society and the lawful state requires the rejection of pretentious legal formalism and grammatical dogmatism. The purpose of the legal norm within the context of the protection of the lawful state basic principles must become mainly the source of every procedure. Concerning, the doing away with the legal formalism was evident in the Slovak Republic when the Slovak Republic Constitution Court declared that the constitution act is not in compliance with the constitutionality protection interest. The judge-made decision was justified by the reference to the created constitution substantial cornerstone and the necessity to give priority of the substantive lawful state instead of the legally formal state. That’s why, the Slovak Republic Constitution Court as the independent protector of the constitutionality might apply their powers in cases of the extreme encroachment. In this way, the Constitution Court would declare the protection of the fundamental base of the Constitution, the so-called Constitution core, even in cases when their powers would not be expressly declared by the legal regulations, eventually if they have to investigate the accordance of the constitution laws with the Constitution. Such an extreme infringement of the so-called material focus of the Constitution can be considered to be the intensive, respectively the gradual changes of the Slovak Republic character and its diversion from the democratic and lawful state
The impact of gymnastics on the body posture of preschool children
No full textIn: Physiotherapy review. Warszawa : Krajowa Izba Fizjoterapeutów, 2025. ISSN 2719-5139. Vol. 29, no. 2 (2025), pp. 35-43.Background: Preschool age is crucial for developing proper body posture. Regular physical activity, particularly gymnastics, may significantly influence postural alignment, potentially preventing future musculoskeletal issues. However, specific evidence on how structured gymnastics programs impact posture in preschool children remains limited.
Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the gymnastics program on the posture of preschool children. Materials and Methods: Thirteen children, with an average age of 4.49 ± 0.50 years who attended gymnastics classes were included in the study. The gymnastics intervention lasted 24 weeks, with sessions lasting 45 minutes twice a week. A digital posture assessment tool (2016 Postureco™ Posture Screen Mobile) was used for monitoring purposes. The collected data were compared and statistically evaluated using the Wilcoxon test.
Results: Research findings have shown improvements in posture. Statistically significant improvement was observed in the assessment of hips/pelvis (z = 2.41, p<0.01) and overall posture (z = 1.71, p<0.05). Additionally, notable improvements were documented in the positions of the head and shoulders, though these were not statistically significant. The greatest magnitude of improvement occurred in pelvic alignment, highlighting the targeted benefits of the gymnastics intervention for this region.
Conclusions: The results indicate that the application of the gymnastics program had a positive effect on the posture of the children involved in the study

ISBN 978-80-261-1294-5. S. 12-14.Východiská: Kondičná príprava je kľúčovým faktorom športového výkonu v kolektívnych športoch, ako je volejbal. Juniori a juniorky sa nachádzajú v období intenzívneho telesného a motorického vývinu, čo si vyžaduje špecifický prístup k tréningu. Zároveň je dôležité sledovať kondičné schopnosti hráčok, ktoré ovplyvňujú ich športový
progres a celkový herný výkon.
Ciele: Štúdia analyzuje kondičné schopnosti junioriek volejbalového družstva VK PALAS Levice s cieľom identifikovať úroveň ich fyzickej pripravenosti, silových, rýchlostných a vytrvalostných parametrov.
Metodika: Výskum bol realizovaný formou testov štandardizovanej testovej batérie SVF. Testovanie prebiehalo v dvoch fázach:
prvá fáza hodnotila všeobecnú pohybovú výkonnosť, zatiaľ čo druhá sa zamerala na špeciálnu pohybovú výkonnosť vo volejbale. Vzorku tvorilo 13 hráčok rôznych vekových kategórií (1997–2001). Výsledky boli porovnané s existujúcimi normami a analyzované deskriptívnymi štatistickými metódami.
Výsledky: Výskum ukázal, že hráčky dosahujú rôzne úrovne kondičnej pripravenosti, pričom individuálne rozdiely boli pozorované najmä v silových a rýchlostných parametroch. Priemerná úroveň všeobecnej kondície zodpovedala normám pre volejbalistky v tejto vekovej kategórii, no testy naznačili potrebu cielenejšieho tréningového zamerania na špecifické zložky výkonnosti, najmä výbušnú silu dolných končatín a vytrvalosť.
Závery a odporúčania: Kondičná pripravenosť je kľúčovým determinantom športového výkonu vo volejbale. Výsledky výskumu naznačujú potrebu systematického rozvoja silových a rýchlostných schopností u junioriek, pričom odporúčame personalizovaný prístup k tréningovým metódam zohľadňujúci individuálne potreby hráčok.
Pravidelné testovanie a monitoring kondičnej úrovne by mali byť neoddeliteľnou súčasťou športovej prípravy
Factors affecting adoption of artificial intelligence in SMEs and its impact on firm's skills needs
No full textIn: 6th virtual international conference path to a knowledge society-managing risks and innovation. 1. vyd. Niš : Complex system research centre, 2025. ISBN 978-86-82602-04-0. Pp. 12-18.The paper deals with the problem of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in companies. It aims to empirically examine factors affecting the adoption of AI. It also identifies factors influencing the potential effects of AI adoption on future infirm skills needs. There is currently an absence of research focused on examining this topic based on empirical data. The research is based on the secondary data from Flash Eurobarometer 537 (2023). More than 19,000 companies from 27 EU countries and 9 non-EU countries have been included in the sample. By examining these data, substantial systematic differences were found between companies with different characteristics. Factors affecting AI adoption and consequences on skills needed have been identified by logistic regression. The results suggest that larger companies with older employees located in cities, as well as those hiring adequate skills without any problems, are often adopting AI. Similar characteristics are also typical for companies that reported a significant effect of AI on their skill needs. However, in this case, the effect of community size and difficulties with hiring skills are not significant. Significant differences were also identified among industries and types of specific skills that a company lacksAPVV-20-0338 Hybné sily ekonomického rastu a prežitie firiem v šiestej K-vlne

Parents' preferences in the choice of pre-school: results of a representative survey in Slovakia

Roč. 57, č. 1 (2025), s. 25-53.The aim of this paper is to evaluate the preferences of parents of preschool children in choosing a kindergarten by analysing the importance of the most frequently discussed decision factors. Parents' preferences were assessed by analysing a number of a kindergarten choice factors such as accessibility, price, diet, school specialisation and acti¬vities, reputation and recommendation. The results show that accessibility and reputation of the kindergarten are the most important factors for choosing a facility to place a child, and vice versa, price is a less important factor. Parental preferences are generally not uniform. For all factors we examined statistically significant relationships between parents' preferen¬ces and selected demographic, socio-economic and spatial indicators of parental segmen¬tation - the most for the price factor and least for the diet and school specialisation factors. In general, price was perceived as a significant factor for a kindergarten choice, especially for parents falling into vulnerable groups (two-person households, divorced couples, parents under 30, unemployed, with lower monthly income, living in rural areas). Parents from lower net monthly income households do not place as much importance on factors such as school specialisation and reputation when choosing a kindergarten, but the accessibility of a kinder¬garten is much more important to them. Conversely, the accessibility of a kindergarten was a less important factor in the choice for parents over 30 years of age, from urban areas and with higher monthly income households. The paper develops theoretical insights into pa¬rents' preferences and decision-making strategies, while offering practical applications for the planning activities of local authorities
