The case study of an enterprising wine-grower brings an analysis of conditions for and development of viticulture at Dolné Oresany, a village located in a marginal but specific part of the Little-Carpathian wine-growing region in Slovakia. It describes economic and social situation of local wine-growers in the 1930s as an impulse for business activities of local people to buy, make and sell wine. A personal history of this entrepreneur serves for the writer as a background against which she describes the economic and political development of an individual person, as well as the locality and the whole country, which influenced his commercial growth and decline. The article also explains how a change of the political system may harm, even destroy successful and creative people who several decades ago managed to realise projects which are now on the agenda of the village tourism industry.

The paper focuses on the culture of wine-producing in the specific micro-region within the wine-producing region of Male Karpaty. The authoress illuminates the attitudes, the wine-producers had towards the wine-producing, which was their main source of a substistence, towards their vineyards approached as the property and possible source of income. The paper explains how the wine-producers' year looked like, describing their work in vineyards changing within the year. She introduces the terminology the wine-producers used, explains basic tasks they did and the tools and technology they used in their work. She attempts to draw the differences between the urban and rural forms of the culture of wine in the wine producing, consisting especially in different work technologies, grapes' processing and sale of wine. She concentrates on consumption of wine in the wine-producing households and the importance of the wine as a drink. She introduces new information that could be obtained only through the deep insights and qualitative analysis of the data from the small sample. Her work complements already published data on wine-producing in the region of Male Karpaty. Focusing on the area rather neglected by the previous researchers she provides the detailed analysis of the phenomenon.

The study described in this paper is a part of a multi-proxy project, which deals with sediments originating from a former artificial water reservoir situated at the large fortified hilltop site of Vladao. The oldest sediments were deposited around 350 BC and sedimentation continues till recent times. Number of palaeoecological analyses have been applied (pollen, macroremains, charcoal, wood, Cyanobacteria, algae, fungi, Cladocera, chemical elements, radiocarbon dating, archaeological artefact). The present contribution deals with analysis of chitinous fragments of Cladocera found within the trench. The results of this study clearly suggest a connection between the influence of human activity on the hilltop and the trophic status of the water in the cistern. Some phases of increased water eutrophication were distinguished on the basis of Cladocera species preferring nutrient rich water (Chydorus sphaericus, Bosmina longirostris).

The paper explores the forms of mountain and high-mountain transport on the Slovak side of the High Tatras since the time of the first mountain discoverers until the present day. It also examines the differences between particular historical periods in the terms of transportation and general model of organization of the high-mountain transport. The paper is based on the results of the field research, literature, as well as analysis of an ample photographic and iconographic material. It aims to answer the following questions: when did people begin to carry cargoes to the mountains; what were the principal areas and means of the high-mountain transport; what population groups have specialized in this profession and for what social reasons.

Invariant recognition of 2D binary image often arises from image moments. They enable the construction of affine transform, which ensures the invariance to translation, scaling, first rotation and stretching of the image. It is a problem to ensure the invariance to the second rotation. The paper deals with two methods how to realize the affine invariant recognition system with the numerical stable elimination of the second rotation. Modified images are obtained via polar or Radon's transform. Mentioned two approaches enable affine invariant systems construction and they were used for analysis of particles in granular mixtures. The affine invariant system is applied to detail analysis of fertilizer grains.
