The decline in mortality as a reflection of the changing Slovak society from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century ‒ principal researcher, principal researcher, VEGA 1/0121/25 (2025 ‒ 2027).
In the second half of the 19th century, Upper Hungarian and Slovak society showed clear signs of a demographic transition, one of the main manifestations of which was a decline in mortality rates. This phenomenon did not occur spontaneously, but was the result of systematic health policies of the state, modernization, and the implementation of measures at the regional level. It was also a product of enlightenment and spreading literacy, which contributed to changes in human mentality and the rationalization of individual behavior. The elimination of high infant mortality rates, the eradication of the deadliest epidemics, and the prolongation of human life also brought with them many aspects that manifested themselves across economic, social, cultural, and religious life. The aim of the project is a multi-layered analysis of the phenomenon of death and mortality in Upper Hungarian and Slovak society at the end of the pre-modern era until the advent of the centralist state and its social reforms.
Podcasts as an Innovative Part of teaching General History of the 20th Century ‒ principal researcher, principal researcher, KEGA-008UCM-4/2022 (2022 ‒ 2024).
The main goal of the research team from the Department of Historical Sciences and Central European Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava is to extend the traditional full-time study of general history of the 20th century to the online space. The target groups are not only university students, but also teachers and students of selected secondary schools, or the professional and general public. In addition, the online environment greatly facilitates access to education for students with specific needs, students with an individual study plan or primary and secondary school teachers attending additional pedagogical studies. The output of the project is at least 15 podcasts, freely available on the YouTube platform or within popular podcast applications. The podcasts will be augmented and supplemented in content by a university textbook. It will be freely available on the website of the faculty and the department, as well as published in a classic book form. The research team also aims to establish a recording studio at the UCM Faculty of Arts using grant funds. The aforementioned studio will be used to implement the objectives of the project and will also be made available to members of the academic community of the UCM Faculty of Arts. Podcasts are an innovative and attractive didactic medium in the teaching of history, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The know-how of the project leader in the field of podcasting and in the implementation of e-learning in practice is the main prerequisite for the achievement of the project's objectives. The deputy head of the project has several years of experience in editorial work.
Transformation of population development in Slovakia in a regional perspective from the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century ‒ co-researcher, APVV-20-0199 (2021 ‒ 2025).
The main goal of this project is the synthetic analysis of the transformation of demographic processes in Slovakia's population from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century with an emphasis on the regional dimension within identified conditionalities of socio-economic, cultural, and other structural changes taking place during the period. The basis for the fulfilment of this goal will be the creation of a unique database of input data (a historical demographic handbook) and indicators constructed from this data that will enable a detailed comprehensive analysis of the development and nature of individual demographic processes at the national level and particularly at the regional level. Following that, the project will focus on the compilation of maps and a compiled atlas presenting the transformation of the reproduction of the Slovak population and some identified conditional factors in space and time and a synthesis in the form of a published monograph.
