The Catholic Church has played an important role in the history of Slovakia since the Midde Ages and has maintained an important position in public life until today. The prerequisite for the creation of archives was, in particular, the promotion of written culture in legal practice and the functioning of certain sections of the administration. In the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, both of these factors first manifested themselves in the ecclesiastical sphere and only later in the secular one. Therefore, the oldest and most extensive sets of archival documents in Slovakia can be found in church archives. The ecclesiastical administration in the territory of present-day Slovakia dates back to the time of Great Moravia (9th – 10th century). After the foundation of the Kingdom of Hungary (beginning of the 11th century), it was rebuilt and has continued with minor modifications to this day. A separate ecclesiastical administration consists mainly of monastic communities and spiritual administration of the armed forces. From the very beginnings, the Church has taken care of preserving the documents of its activities. This was reflected in the legislation from the time of the Council of Trent (1545 – 1563) to the current codes of canon law (1983, 1990). However, it is necessary to draw attention to the different archival terminology in Canon law compared to secular (state) archival law. The terminology of ecclesiastical law is based on the Italian archival tradition, which does not distinguish the archive from the originator’s registry, which causes considerable problems in archival practice. Since the 19th century, due to the richness and antiquity of the preserved archival fonds, church archives have started to attract attention not only of the state administration, but especially of the professional public, who tried to use them for research purposes. Since the first half of the 20th century, the state has attempted to fully record the church archives, but it has not yet been done. In Slovakia, the originators of ecclesiastical registries are mainly: 1. institutions of ecclesiastical administration with nation-wide competence (Conference of Bishops of Slovakia, Council of Hierarchs of the Greek Catholic Metropolitan Church sui iuris in Slovakia); 2. institutions of ecclesiastical administration of a regional nature (episcopal and parish offices); 3. institutions of the highest monastic administration (generalates of monastic orders based in Slovakia); 4. monastic administration institutions with nation-wide competence (Conference of Higher Monastic Superiors in Slovakia and provincial offices of individual monastic orders); 5. institutions of lower monastic administration (individual monastic houses) and 6. institutions established by the Catholic Church (Association of St. Vojtech, Slovak Catholic Charity, Catholic University in Ružomberok, Catholic Pedagogical and Catechetical Centre, Catholic Bible Work, Radio Lumen, TV Lux etc.). At present, church archives belong to the group of private archives of legal entities within the system of archives in the Slovak Republic. They operate as archives of institutions belonging to the competence of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. These are mainly the archives of the individual bishops’ offices, the consolidated archive of monastic superiors and the Archive of the St. Vojtech Association. Some former ecclesiastical archives have become independent archival fonds deposited in state or other ecclesiastical archives, such as the archives of chapters, monastic provinces and monasteries, and the written legacy of priests. Problems of contemporary ecclesiastical archiving in Slovakia include, in particular, an insufficient knowledge of archival legislation, archival theory and practice, and the lack of interest in the archival cultural heritage of the Church among some representatives of the ecclesiastical administration. Gradually, however, professional archivists (lay people) enter the church archives and although very slowly the material and technical conditions are improving as well.

The fall of Ayudhya had a devastating impact on Siamese society and on the country's politico-economic position. Manpower was a key element not only of statecraft in general but also of Siam's recovery. It provided labour for the generation of revenue and for the mobilization of the army and the centre's consequent control over the outlying princes and nobles. Therefore, warfare and forced resettlement of people from the weaker states along the Mekong Basin were instrumental in Siam's reassertion of its politico-economic hegemony in the region. The forced evacuees provided both corvee labour for agricultural and military activities, and suai, head tax in kind or in money. Suai in kinds constituted a significant part of Siam's maritime trade in the early nineteenth century. However, he presence of the Vietnamese created difficulties for the Siamese consolidation of power over Cambodia and other parts of the Mekong region. The increasing tension with the courts of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam finally led to more warfare and successive depopulation campaigns in the trans-Mekong Basin.

Fiesta y arte efímero en Zaragoza en el siglo XVII: la declaración del martirio de San Pedro Arbués de 1662.

The sustained expansion of the life span and the attendant demographic changes in the West have fuelled the production of cultural texts that explore alternative representations of aging and old age. The contributors to this volume show how artists in science-fiction, fantasy and the avant-garde develop visions of late life transformation, improvisation and adaptation to new circumstances. The studies particularly focus on perspectives on aging that challenge the predominant narratives of decline as well as fantasies of eternal youth, as defined by neoliberal notions of health, able-bodiedness, agency, self-improvement, progress, plasticity and productivity.

Eagle Nest Canyon, or Mile Canyon, has a storied archaeological history spanning 90 years and counting, a field research record unrivaled in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands archaeological region of southwest Texas and adjacent parts of Mexico (Black 2013). Here we recount that history with an emphasis on the latest and ongoing chapter, that of the Ancient Southwest Texas Project (ASWT) of Texas State University. This papers serves as an historical context for the collection of papers that follows.

Number of employees are increases with growing in companies. Firms basically make salary increases for their employees in order not to lose their talents and moreover to increase them. Although there is not much problem in how to in-crease the salary in small organizations, this process should be carried out carefully in terms of many parameters in large organizations and should not result in negativities that may disrupt employee motivation. For companies with a large number of employees, creating a model in which the market conditions are determined correctly and all economic parameters are taken into account reveals the need for a process that needs to be worked on for months. In this context, a machine learning-based salary increase prediction system was designed with the study. Specific attributes were determined and a specific scale was developed for performance score for this study.

У статті досліджено теоретичні питання щодо формування методичних основ управління інвестиційною привабливістю туристичних кластерів. Зокрема, виокремлено поняття форсайту інвестиційної привабливості туризму, яка включає в себе ключові елементи: об’єкт, предмет та принципи, що формують згадану методичну основу управління.

The study involving bio-physical aspects of popular rice (Oryza sativa L.) + lathyrus relay system for conserving natural resources and deriving the best benefits out of them was carried out in a vertisols at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Raipur (India) during 2011-14. The study location comes under tropical sub humid climate that receives an annual precipitation of 1582 mm. Two rice habit groups (a tall local rice Masuri maturing at 140 days visà-vis a dwarf HYV of rice Swarna with 110 days duration) were combined with two moisture conservation practices (retaining rice stubble height up to 15 cm versus 30 cm) for growing two contrasting varieties of lathyrus (early high biomass accumulating Ratan vis-à-vis medium high biomass Prateek). The study showed that soil moisture depletion pattern was relatively lower in case of residue retention at a higher cutting height, i.e. 30 cm in comparison to 15 cm with better and higher crop cover in the former. At later stages of lath...
