Publikace představuje úvod do nově budovaného oboru stejného názvu, vytváří a definuje nový koncept klinické kineziologie. Kniha vychází z akceptace pohybu jako důsledku řízených molekulárních změn, které jsou důsledkem evoluce pohybu.
Text prvního i druhého dílu proto obsahuje originální kapitoly zabývající se i anatomií dítěte – nipioanatomií – a jejím možným přesahem do kineziologie. Zvolený přístup umožnil přiblížit fyziologický pohyb k podstatě alespoň některých patologických procesů, které pohyb limitují. Klinická kineziologie se tak přibližuje k zatím nevyhraněnému oboru patokineziologie.
Bohatě ilustrovaná celobarevná publikace obsahuje v obou dílech celkem 845 obrázků.
První díl monografie metodologicky představuje úvod do nově budovaného oboru kineziologie a patokineziologie. Vytváří a definuje nový koncept klinické kineziologie. Historicky se opírá o dílčí publikace, které v průběhu 120 let v tomto segmentu literatury vznikly, a formuluje program klinické kineziologie 21. století. Dnešní evropská kineziologie studuje rozmanité formy pohybu především z hlediska jejich zevního projevu, vyšetření a spíše výjimečně i aplikace v rehabilitačním lékařství. Tato kniha vychází z akceptace pohybu jako důsledku řízených molekulárních změn, které jsou důsledkem evoluce pohybu. Text prvního i druhého dílu proto obsahuje zcela originální kapitoly zabývající se i anatomií dítěte – nipioanatomií – a jejím možným přesahem do kineziologie.
Zvolený přístup umožnil přiblížit fyziologický pohyb k podstatě alespoň některých patologických procesů, které pohyb limitují. Klinická kineziologie se tak přibližuje k zatím nevyhraněnému oboru patokineziologie. Podobně jako „anatomie dítěte“ jsou i tyto kapitoly prioritním pokusem o jejich koncizní zpracování.
Druhý díl monografie pokračuje v realizaci nového konceptu klinické kineziologie a patokineziologie na úrovni základní evoluce pohybu orgánových systémů a řízení pohybu a pohybových aktivit jednotlivých segmentů těla. Život je forma pohybu. Tento princip je uplatněn i u systémů, které nebývají v konvenční kineziologii předmětem kineziologického a patokineziologického zájmu – v prenatální kineziologii, orofaciální a viscerální kineziologii, kineziologii hrudní a břišní stěny a v základní problematice sportovní kineziologie.
V souladu s celkovou koncepcí klinické kineziologie a patokineziologie jsou jednotlivé kapitoly cíleny na vývojové proměny pohybových aktivit různých orgánových systémů postnatálně se vyvíjejícího organismu a na pochopení významu evolučních vazeb při řízení pohybu, včetně některých patologických stavů.

Přibývající vědecké důkazy potvrzují, že spiritualita a náboženství mají prospěšný účinek na zdraví člověka.

Proto je velmi důležité, abychom k spirituálním a náboženským potřebám jednotlivců ve zdravotnické praxi přistupovali velmi opatrně, s příslušnými znalostmi, citlivostí a péčí.

Holistická, na pacienta orientovaná péče, by měla zahrnovat i péči o duchovní dimenzi. Měla by být založena na vědeckých důkazech, na základních znalostech o spiritualitě, religiozitě, jejím kladném i záporném vlivu na zdraví, založená na schopnostech potřebných pro posuzování, klinickém rozhodování a řešení problémů během poskytování každodenní péče.

Cílem monografie je komplexní a systematické zpracování problematiky spirituality a religiozity – od vymezení teoretických východisek přes interpretaci výsledků vědeckého výzkumu k implikacím v klinické praxi.

V monografii jsou vymezeny pojmy související s náboženstvím a spiritualitou, popsané spirituální a religiózní zážitky, vybrané měřící nástroje používané v klinickém výzkumu, věkové zvláštnosti spirituality a religiozity a zdůvodněné specifické intervence zaměřené na uspokojování spirituálních a religiózních potřeb pacientů v každodenní klinické praxi.

Vědecká monografie je primárně určena odborné komunitě z různých vědních oblastí (ošetřovatelství, medicíny, psychologie zdraví), které se zabývají psycho-sociálními a spirituálními aspekty zdraví a nemoci, včetně poskytování péče.

The movement of domain walls in ferromagnetic materials is utilized in various magnetic devices for storing, processing, or transmitting signals and information. This mainly includes transformer cores, various sensors, memory devices (e.g., HDDs in PCs), as well as modern spintronic devices such as Racetrack memories, domain wall motion-based electronics, and so on.

This book is intended to serve as a textbook for advanced courses in the field of magnetic materials. It is primarily aimed at students interested in studying magnetic materials, as well as professionals from various fields who wish to understand the basics of domain structure and its changes. It is divided into nine chapters. The first chapter deals with a brief history of the study of domain structure in magnetic materials. The second chapter provides an introduction to the causes and manifestations of magnetic anisotropies. The third and fourth chapters are devoted to the causes of domain structure formation and domain walls. The fifth chapter discusses the structure of domain walls, their potential, and the critical field required for domain wall movement. The sixth chapter is dedicated to magnetization processes, one of which - domain wall movement - is discussed in detail in chapter 7. The eighth chapter contains a theoretical solution for domain wall movement. The final ninth chapter presents a modern method of domain wall movement induced by electric current.

The presented work assumes that the reader has at least basic knowledge in the field of magnetism. Otherwise, the author refers the reader to basic literature (e.g., [2.1 - 2.6]).

Povolanie sestra od čias Florence Nightingaleovej prešlo mnohými zmenami. V priebehu desaťročí sa nemenila len uniforma sestier, ale najmä náplň ich činnosti. Sestra je odborník a rovnocenný partner v zdravotníckom tíme. Je erudovaná a schopná kriticky myslieť a rozhodovať sa. Je nenahraditeľná v posudzovaní a uspokojovaní potrieb pacienta, je aktívna vo zvyšovaní jeho sebestačnosti či v edukácii.

Avšak vždy musí myslieť na to, že jej rozhodnutie sa už nedá vrátiť späť, veď ide o zdravie človeka, o jeho život.
Profesionálne skúsenosti s ošetrovaním chorých doma i v zahraničí, pedagogické a manažérske skúsenosti a najmä vplyv významných odborníkov z oblasti medicíny, s ktorými som spolupracovala, ma priviedli k poznaniu, že sestry by mali získať nielen veľa odborných vedomostí, ale musia nadobudnúť aj precízne zručnosti. A čo je nemenej dôležité, musia byť empatické a konať morálne. Potrebné je, aby sestra cítila osobnú zodpovednosť voči svojim pacientom a ich rodine, aby to bolo pre ňu motivujúce a aby vnímala potrebu ďalej odborne rásť.

Proceedings from the VII. annual student symposium on international law held on April 11-12, 2014 at the UPJŠ training facility in Danišovce

Despite this, flying and space travel are now a common part of human civilization. What is the role of law in this process? This is the question posed by the organizers of the VII. annual student symposium on international law, aiming to evaluate the contribution of international law in the field of aviation and space flights, especially in light of current developments.

The individual topics were tackled by second, third, and higher-year students of the Faculty of Law at UPJŠ in Košice. The result of their work on the assigned topics, which the authors could consult with members of the Institute of European Law and the Department of International Law, is the presented work.

The proceedings are thematically divided into two parts. The first part acquaints the reader with selected topics related to aviation law, and the second part is dedicated to international space law.

With its focus, the proceedings also have a broader impact, as in some aspects it fits into the broader context of research conducted at the Institute of European Law and the Department of International Law, which focuses on examining the influence of regionalism on general international law and vice versa. This issue is also reflected in the topics of the individual contributions.

Cieľom projektu KEGA je vydanie vysokoškolskej učebnice, ktorá sa zaoberá vyšetrovacími metódami vo vnútornom lekárstve. Vhodne zvolené vyšetrovacie metódy sú popri fyzikálnom vyšetrení a podrobnej anamnéze pilierom diagnostiky jednotlivých chorôb. Poznanie, ale najmä adekvátne používanie vyšetrovacích metód patrí k základným znalostiam každého lekára. V súčasnosti nie je na Slovensku dostupná žiadna publikácia s komplexným prehľadom vyšetrovacích metód vo vnútornom lekárstve. Tento typ učebnice by sa takto mohol stať základným zdrojom pre získanie informácií o možnostiach, výbere, použití jednotlivých vyšetrovacích metód pri jednotlivých chorobách vo vnútornom lekárstve. Publikácia bude slúžiť ako študijný materiál pre študentov v pregraduálnej forme štúdia, ale aj v rámci špecializačného štúdia. Učebnica bude praktickým pokračovaním vysokoškolskej učebnice „Interná propedeutika“, ktorá bola vydaná v rámci riešenia KEGA projektu 022UPJŠ-4/12011 v rokoch 2011 -2013.

Collection of scientific papers by doctoral students.

Thematically, the contributions are diverse: they feature fundamental principles in public law (basic principles of criminal proceedings, the principle of contradiction, basic principles of constitutional court proceedings, basic principles in private law and procedural law (superficies solo cedit), the principle of civil court proceedings in deciding labor disputes, equality of participants and the duty to instruct, objection of bias in light of the right to an impartial court, the principle of speed and the principle of economy in the decision-making activities of general courts, basic principles in legal theory and international law (general legal principles recognized by civilized nations), coexistence of the principle of equality and the principle of non-discrimination in the legal order of the European Union, argumentation through the principle of rule of law in the decision-making activities of courts, the impact of fundamental principles on the interpretation of legal norms.

It is important that the authors, i.e., doctoral students from law faculties in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, almost unanimously examine these principles in the process of application (interpretation) of law, from the perspective of how legal (primarily judicial) practice deals with them. This should be fundamentally welcomed and appreciated.

Proceedings from the international scientific conference held on September 26-27, 2014 at the Faculty of Law, UPJŠ in Košice

Nowadays, in the modern 21st century, we have a much more complex society than the ancient one. It requires legal regulation of various types of purchase contracts, where although the basic feature remains, it needs to be specified further, and the simple sentence 'I sell, you buy' needs to be supplemented with conditions 'how, where, when, under what conditions?' This is the task of modern civil law. The current recodification of civil law has already taken place in some European countries, and it is currently underway in our country. Therefore, it is important to meet at conferences with colleagues from these countries and exchange knowledge, to discuss their experiences, avoid the bad, and accept or adjust the good according to our conditions.

This proceedings is the output publication from the conference held on September 26-27, 2014 in Košice. It was the second conference with the participation of the most prominent legal Romanists, legal historians, and civilists from home and abroad. The proceedings is the result of unique cooperation among experts from various fields of legal science. I believe that the published outputs will help to understand the institute of purchase contracts from all its aspects and will become an inspiration for both experts and laypeople.

Physical activity is globally understood by the professional community as one of the most important factors in addressing public health prevention issues. Trends in modern lifestyles tend towards a sedentary way of life, both in the workplace and especially in leisure time.

A passive lifestyle thus affects the health of every individual. For many years, physical education experts have been appealing to the general public and pointing out the numerous risks associated with neglecting physical activity in any age category. One of the serious manifestations of a lack of physical activity is excessive weight gain. The ever-increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity, especially its occurrence in increasingly younger age categories, makes obesity one of the most serious risk factors and one of the biggest problems worldwide.

Its globalization is mainly caused by the consumption of high-energy foods and a lack of physical activity in daily routines. The rise in overweight and obesity is the result of an inadequate energy intake relative to its expenditure - insufficient physical activity

Aging of the population is a process typical for European Union countries. Issues of aging and the position of seniors in society are becoming permanently relevant in economic, psychological, ethical, cultural, health-social, and even philosophical dimensions. It involves the need to purposefully support health, but also to care for sick and dependent individuals, to improve their health status and their ability to function in society, to offer health-promoting programs, and to strive to extend their active age.

An active approach to health, health culture, and competence is currently becoming not only a societal obligation but primarily an individual one. In a societal sense, it involves the relevant and knowledgeable creation of conditions for the optimal influence of health determinants and a healthy lifestyle, while in an individual sense, it involves the formation, stabilization, and subsequent internalization of healthy lifestyle principles to reflect the potential, experience, age, and possibilities of the individual.

It is true that the defining position of individual responsibility and personal behavior primarily defines the need for purposeful and intentional health support.

The presented monograph aims to critically map the understanding of the concept of possible worlds.

The first chapter describes the formation of the semantics of possible worlds, along with indicating some problems it brings, which were incisively revealed primarily by W. V. O. Quine. In the next two chapters, the work focuses on more modern views on the nature of possible worlds, with the main attention given to the dichotomy between the possibilist and actualist approach to the question of modalities, alongside which it is necessary to assess other distinctions (essentialism - anti-essentialism, realism - reductionism (or ersatzism or fictionalism), naturalism - non-naturalism, etc.). Increased attention in the work is specifically devoted to the possibilism of D. Lewis and the actualist concepts of S. Kripke, A. Plantinga, R. M. Adams, N. Rescher, D. Armstrong, and J. Hintikka.

An unconventional approach to the issue of possible worlds is captured in the fourth chapter. It is primarily dedicated to the significant concept of Jaakko Hintikka, which works with the notion of epistemic possible worlds and documents the inclination towards the modification and relativization of modal discourse. The conclusion provides an evaluation of the discussion that touches on the main problems associated with considerations of possible worlds.

In the presented monograph, some representative concepts of possible worlds, or possible individuals, are clarified, and the overall process is indicated from assessing possible worlds as ideal logical constructs through their relativization by separate domains of individuals for individual worlds and further through the relationship of attainability to financial, impossible, and non-standard possible worlds.

Attempting to confront Gadamer's teachings not only with the giants of Greek philosophy but also with Hegel and Heidegger is no easy task. However, Gadamer's entire historical-philosophical work is most prominently associated with these ancient thinkers and the two geniuses of German philosophical thought. Therefore, there is no avoiding it. Without this confrontation, all my efforts would be, in a certain sense, futile. Whether and how I succeed is another question. Every reader will surely form their own judgment.

It is impossible to be in contact with a person-centered approach and not be influenced by it. Carl Random Rogers was and is still perceived as one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century (Cook, et al., 2009).

He was the first psychologist to be awarded twice by the American Psychological Association during his lifetime; in 1957 for his contributions to psychotherapy research and in 1973 for distinguished professional contributions. He developed his own psychotherapeutic approach, client-centered therapy, where unlike existing psychotherapeutic approaches, the healing power lies in the relationship between the client and the therapist, not in the applied method.

Rogers and his colleagues were the first to record, transcribe, and publish complete cases of therapeutic conversations and initiated systematic research in the field of psychotherapy. By using the term client instead of patient and seeking sources of change within the person, he created a non-medical model of help as part of the helping professions (Capuzzi, Gross, 2001). The self-theory created by Rogers is a theory that is included in many contemporary psychology texts (Cloninger, 2003; Feist, Feist, 2001; Ryckman, 2004).

Etika a filozofia mravnosti sa dostáva do popredia záujmu všetkých oblastí súčasného života. Biológia a medicína sú vedné odbory tak úzko späté s najvyššími hodnotami, ako je život a zdravie človeka, teda život na našej Zemi vôbec, že sa medicínska etika a bioetika stali predmetom veľkej pozornosti a záujmu expertov rôznych profesií, svetových organizácií (OSN, Rada Európy, Svetová zdravotnícka organizácia...), farmaceutických firiem..., výučby študentov medicíny i lekárov.
Väčšina učebníc medicínskej etiky je orientovaných filozoficky, čo je logické, pretože etika je filozofickou disciplínou. Autori publikácie sa však rozhodli skôr pre medicínsku interpretáciu aplikácie etických problémov a dilemu do vybraných medicínskych disciplín.

In 2007, the philosophical world commemorated an extraordinary anniversary - two hundred years since the first publication of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's brilliant work The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807). Of course, we can have different value scales of the most important philosophical works written in the history of philosophy, but the above-mentioned work of Hegel should certainly not be absent from the top places in them. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit decisively changed the philosophical discourse of the 19th century and greatly influenced philosophy in the 20th century. Few of the great philosophers after Hegel could afford to pass over the philosophical work of the 1807 supreme representative of German classical philosophy and not draw, either positively or critically, on his philosophical legacy.

The philosophical conference entitled Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" and the Present, dedicated to Hegel's work Phenomenology of Spirit, was prepared by the Department of Philosophy and History of Philosophy of the Faculty of Arts of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice in cooperation with the Slovak Philosophical Association at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava on October 4, 2007 and was organized by the Slovak Philosophical Association in Košice.

The main aim of the present work is to try to capture the decisive mode of Heidegger's philosophical understanding of the central problem of Greek philosophy, the problem of being, in the teachings of Anaximander, Heracleitus, Parmenides, Plato, and Aristotle. The authors of each section present their own understanding of Heidegger and his distinctive philosophical reception of Greek philosophy. In this context, it should be noted that the authors themselves sought their own point of view. With Heidegger's work in general, it is almost impossible to find the same interpretive consonance. This is also true for his reception of the Greek heritage. However, it is all the more professionally provoking for further philosophical investigations.

Philosophical Proceedings Kant in the Contexts of Husserl's and Heidegger's Philosophy is a presentation of the results of the Second International Philosophical Conference, which took place on November 5-7, 2008 at the UPJŠ in Košice.

The conference was prepared by the Department of Philosophy and History of Philosophy, Faculty of Philosophy, UPJŠ in very close cooperation with the Slovak Philosophical Association at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. The structure of the presented proceedings was divided into three basic parts. The first part contains the papers that were presented at the conference and constitute a crucial part of the content of our proceedings. The individual papers are arranged in the order in which they were presented at the conference. The second part of the proceedings contains the speeches from the inauguration ceremony of the award of the honorary title of Doctor honoris causa to Milan Sobotka and Teodor Münz. In the third part, a photo-documentation is published in which the ceremonial academic act of conferring the honorary degree of Doctor honoris causa is captured.

The philosophical work of Immanuel Kant, the founder of German classical idealism, is one of those which, by the strength of its theoretical legacy, is permanently inspiring even in contemporary philosophical activities. This is an indisputable fact that cannot be seriously objected to. The philosophical teachings of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, his successor Martin Heidegger, as well as several representatives of analytic philosophy, are proof of this fact. The above fact led the authors of this work to the idea of devoting a separate collective monograph to the indicated problem.

The philosophical work of the most significant Czech philosopher of the 20th century, Jan Patočka (1907–1977), stands out for its unique intellectual originality.

Even at the time of its creation, it significantly transcended the narrow boundaries of the contemporary Czechoslovak spiritual space and uniquely connected our country with the most advanced philosophical teachings of Western thought, in which Husserl's phenomenology and Heidegger's fundamental ontology played a dominant role. Certainly, it would be a great mistake to reduce the decisive position of Patočka's philosophical work merely to the reception and critical-creative elaboration of Husserl's and Heidegger's philosophy.

In this context, we cannot overlook the decisive contribution of Eugen Fink, who introduced Patočka to the intricacies of Husserl's and Heidegger's philosophy. Both thinkers then continued in a lifelong creative philosophical dialogue. However, it is also necessary to mention Patočka's intense interest in the works of Scheler, Ingarden, Landgrebe, as well as Sartre and others.

The book is the result of long-term contemplation on the relationships between the history of philosophy and its reflection in more or less systematic, or non-systematic forms of philosophizing of the most significant philosophical teachings of the 19th and 20th centuries (Hegel, Schelling, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Fink, Patočka, and Gadamer).

The primary goal of the work is to present the most significant historical-philosophical teachings of the 19th and 20th centuries in the formation and fulfillment of strong and weak models of the philosophy of the history of philosophy in the concepts of Hegel, Schelling, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Fink, Patočka, and Gadamer.

The results of the philosophy of the history of philosophy are presented here as a metatheoretical movement within historical-philosophical thinking, whose aim is not to empirically describe the historical-philosophical process, but to understand and explain it as an inseparable part of the most significant philosophical problems – what is philosophy, what is metaphysics, and the question of being.
