“…It is important to realize that alcohol is already a long-term problem in society, which represents a burden from a health, economic and social point of view (53)(54)(55), while the COVID-19 pandemic is another serious threatening factor (1,(56)(57)(58). In the Slovak Republic, addiction and alcohol abuse were ubiquitous diseases even before the pandemic, but it is the pandemic that can make them worse.…”

As a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, countries have been forced to adopt strong restrictions, such as lockdown, which can lead to serious consequences for public health, including the problematic use of addictive substances. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine changes in alcohol consumption and to identify determinants against the background of excessive drinking during the COVID-19 lockdown in the Slovak Republic. The research included 445 respondents (33% males and 67% females), and the data collection through the questionnaire took place from April 29, 2020 to July 1, 2020. Measures such as drinking frequency, amount of alcohol and excessive drinking were used to examine alcohol consumption. Descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression were used to meet the main aim. The findings provide a closer look at the situation in the Slovak Republic and contribute to comprehensive international knowledge. The frequency of excessive drinking did not change in about half of respondents (53% of males and 69% of females). More respondents decreased their excessive drinking than increased, both among males (31 and 16%, respectively) and females (25 and 6%, respectively). Similar results were found for drinking frequency and amount of alcohol. Amongst Slovak respondents, an increase in excessive drinking was more common among males, younger people, smokers, and smokers who increased smoking during the lockdown. Especially in the case of vulnerable populations, public policies should consider a response to impending problems. The findings of this study encourage the implementation of effective and evidence-based prevention programs, which are more than necessary in the Slovak Republic.

“…In other words, the behaviour of its management and employees, especially those who act on behalf of the organisation and participate in its decision-making (Stevens, 2008;Pearson, 2015). The rules listed in the code of ethics, at the same time, usually also contain important principles of professional ("lege artis") practices that the organisation considers important, and therefore claims to obey (Valentine & Fleischman, 2002;Dobson, 2005;Přívara & Rievajová, 2021;Sahoo & Pradhan, 2021).…”

Over the long-term, companies, their managements and even employees have been facing increasing external demands from customers, business partners, as well as wider society, to behave ethically. At the same time, similar demands and requirements have been coming from within companies themselves in relation to performance management and employee motivation. These demands are plac ing greater emphasis on the need for ethical management and a code of ethics as the primary tool for promoting and enforcing the ethical conduct of an organisation, its management and employees. This paper focuses on the prevalence and role of codes of ethics in Czech companies, their goals and contents, the principles behind their creation and enforcement, as well as the main prerequisites for their efficacy. It is based on an extensive longitudinal analysis of a broad sample of 1,242 Czech companies of various sizes, the main aim of which was to determine the aforementioned and, in addition, whether those companies that have created codes of ethics, strengthen the consistency of their use by regularly evaluating and updating their contents.

“…The small number of migrants and the low interest of refugees in applying for asylum in Slovakia can explain this phenomenon (Androvičová, 2015). The low number of migrants who come mainly from the Member States of the European Union or culturally-related countries and also their ability to integrate into society were the reasons why migration was a professional rather than a political issue (Přívara and Rievajová, 2021). Political actors were not interested in this topic.…”

In the current paper, we will explain how and why Slovak politicians have been largely unwilling to articulate the topic of migrant integration in recent years, even though up until 2015, international migration was at least a marginal topic of public debate in Slovakia. To this day, this topic remains mostly unexplored by both Slovak politicians and voters. Since migration policy is a synthesis of immigration, asylum, and integration policies, we assume that the migration discourse will be equivalently structured. Although the integration of foreigners has traditionally been an important part of migration policy in the larger world, we have found that this topic has been marginalised in Slovak public discourse, i.e. it is usually not part of the political discussion here. Integration is a marginal topic of this political discourse because Slovak politicians prefer to articulate migration as a threat to public order, identity, culture, and religion. Slovak politicians reject migration because they assume that migrants are unable or unwilling to integrate.
