Proceedings from the IV Annual Student Symposium on Labor Law held on April 5–6, 2019, in Danišovce

The term "Industrial Revolution 4.0" is currently widely used, yet remains mysterious and its content unfamiliar to many. While we do not claim omniscience, through the educational process at the Faculty of Law of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice and the scientific research of the Department of Labor Law and Social Security Law, we have delved into examining the accompanying features and anticipated phenomena of this modern industrial revolution.

It can be stated with great certainty that this revolution already affects—and will continue to affect—production processes, including radical changes in their structure, the emergence of groundbreaking technological and communication tools, and, undoubtedly, labor relations. The rise of new forms and methods of work based on automation and digitalization, applied within new models of labor relations, is beginning to threaten jobs in certain sectors of the economy. There is an increasing demand for specialized qualifications and skills, particularly in information technology, with an emphasis on process digitalization, data processing, and the creation of communication networks connecting objects and people. This intelligent industry inevitably disqualifies many existing jobs from their current structures, leading to job losses for numerous employees. Analysts openly predict that by 2030, robots will replace up to 20 million industrial jobs worldwide.

The vision of which occupations or working conditions will be impacted is becoming increasingly concrete. Radical changes will require radical solutions as well as previously unknown movements and new elements or measures in the labor market.

In addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge, it is necessary to study and analyze the decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies in order to fully understand the subject of the Public International Law or disciplines closely related to it.

Since the Slovak literature in the field of Public International Law does not contain any electronic textbook of selected decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies, the authors of the submitted publication aim to eliminate this gap by elaborating the “Public International Law Casebook”, which will primarily be intended for undergraduate students of the law faculties in the Slovak republic and the Czech republic.

The proposed publication seeks to make the study of international law more attractive through a publication that will make students familiar with the decisions translated into the Slovak language in a popular electronic form.

The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is one of the most commonly used experimental animals. It serves as a model organism for analyzing numerous biological processes and pathological mechanisms, such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders (e.g., lipid metabolism, diabetes mellitus), neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, or Alzheimer's disease), neurobehavioral research, autoimmune diseases (e.g., arthritis), cancer, and renal diseases. It offers many unique advantages for modeling human diseases, testing drugs and natural substances, and studying responses to environmental factors. The size of the laboratory rat, compared to the mouse, creates ideal conditions for physiological manipulations. Additionally, rats are used in clinical toxicology to test chemical substances (Hedrich, 2000).

Proceedings from the VI. Student Symposium on Commercial Law Held on November 28, 2018, at the Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice

The Department of Commercial and Economic Law at the Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, organized the sixth annual Student Symposium on Commercial Law on November 28, 2018. The event was part of the research project VEGA 1/0917/16 titled "Atypical and De Facto Relationships in Commercial Law." The symposium aims to provide a platform for discussion among students with the guidance of mentors from the department, including professors, researchers, and doctoral candidates.

This year’s symposium focused on protection against anti-competitive practices. Unchecked anti-competitive behavior could grant economic advantages to violators at the expense of other competitors and threaten the free-market system. Students explored various challenges related to competition law, analyzing Slovak and European legal frameworks as well as court rulings and decisions by other authorities. Through their research, students honed their analytical thinking, argumentation skills, and critical reasoning. The discussions generated new perspectives and encouraged active engagement among participants.

This proceedings volume presents the outcomes of students' work from this event.

From January 1, 1969, the Constitutional Act on the Status of Nationalities in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR) and the Constitutional Act on the Federation came into effect. The Constitutional Act on the Status of Nationalities represented at least a formal significant step forward in the legal regulation of minority rights. However, this law was intended to serve as a foundation for further legal adjustments. It was declared that additional steps and negotiations for the adoption of implementing regulations would follow and that further laws would be enacted at both the federal and national levels. Nevertheless, no additional law or government regulation related to the constitutional act on the status of nationalities in the ČSSR was ever issued.

During the normalization period, issues concerning further legislation related to national minorities were not addressed. However, in the brief period following the adoption of the constitutional act in 1968 until the end of 1969, some institutions attempted to prepare and promote such legal norms. One of these institutions was the Government Council of the Slovak Socialist Republic (SSR) for Nationalities (hereafter referred to as the Council or the Government Council for Nationalities). The monograph provides an insight into the development of additional legal norms arising from the constitutional act on the status of nationalities in the Slovak Socialist Republic, prepared by the Government Council of SSR for Nationalities. This council was one of the institutions established in Slovakia after the formation of the Czechoslovak federation and dealt with nationality issues.

In addressing further legal norms stemming from the constitutional act on nationalities in ČSSR, it was necessary to consider prior developments. Therefore, the first part of the monograph examines the status of minorities in Czechoslovakia before adopting the constitutional act, activities of nationalities preceding its adoption, and its enactment itself. Subsequent sections focus on institutional changes in SSR following federalization, the establishment of the Government Council of SSR for Nationalities, and specific actions taken by this Council and its expert bodies in drafting proposals for laws concerning nationalities in the Slovak Socialist Republic.

The motivation for writing this monograph stemmed from the fact that this topic has so far received attention only in a few studies in Slovakia, which primarily focused on the Hungarian minority during either the Prague Spring or normalization periods.

It is known that pharmacology is a rapidly evolving medical field, with information about drug forms and their routes of administration constantly changing. In addition to the emergence of new drug forms, new trends are also observed in the routes of administration suitable for delivering drugs. Despite being significant factors influencing the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy – an indispensable component of comprehensive patient care – to our knowledge, there has been a lack of comprehensive and detailed textual material focused on this issue on the market. This fact is related to the broader scope of the professional text we are presenting, as rare drug forms or less commonly used routes of administration are only marginally mentioned or not mentioned at all in available pharmacology textbooks.

Our main goal was therefore to provide sufficient information about existing drug forms, their routes of administration, as well as their methods of delivery, which should serve to enhance the quality of pharmacotherapy in the context of so-called "tailored treatment," whose main effort is to individualize treatment for a specific patient. Although the work focuses on drug application methods, a detailed description of the technical implementation of algorithms and other related procedures is the subject of interest for other fields (nursing, surgical propaedeutics, etc.). Overall, it is a supplementary educational text provided in electronic form, which is extremely popular in today's modern informatized era. Thanks to this, the work can be used at any time at home or in a school environment, comprehensively or progressively, partially. We have also tried to enhance its quality by appropriate content organization, inclusion of practical experiences, as well as the inclusion of colorful images or photographs, overview tables, and appendices.

The textbook is supplemented by test quizzes serving to verify acquired selected knowledge, which are published on the website of the Department of Pharmacology at the Medical Faculty of UPJŠ in Košice (under "Teaching" → "Taught subjects"), and which will be continuously supplemented and updated (http://www.lf.upjs.sk/farmakologia/TEST%201.htm; http://www.lf.upjs.sk/farmakologia/TEST%202.htm).

Although the work is primarily intended for medical students, or students of pharmacy and other healthcare fields, we firmly believe that enriching information will be found in it by beginning graduates of these fields, as well as their teachers.

Intervention Program for Supporting Self-Care in Helping Professions: "How Do I Take Care of Myself?" The intervention program "How Do I Take Care of Myself?" was developed as part of the research project APVV14-0921, "Self-Care as a Factor in Coping with the Negative Consequences of Engaging in Helping Professions." Its uniqueness lies in being created based on specific research outputs from the program's authors and project.

In the first chapter, the authors offer insights into the preparation of the intervention program, justifying its theoretical foundations, methods, and specifics of the program participants. They also provide an overview of research on the effectiveness of various intervention programs aimed at reducing the negative consequences of helping and enhancing self-care and other positive effects of engaging in helping professions. Subsequent chapters focus on a detailed analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention program "How Do I Take Care of Myself?" and its comparison with the effectiveness of other programs, which were differently focused, targeted at different populations of helping professionals, and had different theoretical and practical orientations and foundations. Most of these studies demonstrated positive changes only in isolated cases, due to various methodological shortcomings often related to practical application.

What differentiates the intervention program presented in this monograph is the participation of helping professionals actively practicing in the social field, unlike most intervention programs compiled and validated for students of these professions. The student population, being more accessible to researchers, allows for better methodology, including a larger number of participants, as well as experimental manipulation and group balancing. In the case of participants in the validation of the program "How Do I Take Care of Myself?", it involved practitioners who are engaged in the daily work process and completed training during their work breaks, which placed high demands on balancing their work and personal tasks. We believe that the effects we discovered during the validation of the effectiveness of the presented intervention program were not always clearly mathematically graspable but were evident from individual feedback.

We present the text of this monograph to the professional public with the aim of highlighting the benefits, limitations of the intervention program, as well as inspiring researchers and practitioners to further work in this area.

Vedecko-technický pokrok s presahom do zdravotníctva a implementácia čoraz zložitejších technických postupov do preventívnych stratégií, diagnostických a liečebných postupov a ošetrovateľských intervencií otvárajú nové otázky zabezpečenia kvality a bezpečnosti pacientov. Záujmom jednotlivých poskytovateľov zdravotníckych služieb z dôvodov naplnenia prijatých štandardov a poskytovania starostlivosti založenej na dôkazoch je finančná efektívnosť a udržanie prestíže zdravotníckeho zariadenia. Manažéri v zdravotníctve i sami zamestnanci sa usilujú o formovanie kultúry kvality a bezpečnosti.
Jej obsahová dimenzia je multifaktorová, determinovaná medzinárodnými normami, národnými právnymi úpravami, manažmentom zdravotníckych zariadení, osobnou disciplinovanosťou a zodpovednosťou každého zdravotníckeho pracovníka. Úrad pre dohľad nad zdravotnou starostlivosťou predstavuje kontrolný orgán. Kvalita zdravotnej vrátane ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti a bezpečnosť pacientov utvára etablovanú morálnu hodnotu pracovníkov v zdravotníctve a súbor funkčne nastavených vnútorných procesov zdravotníckeho zariadenia.
Jej základným atribútom je poskytovanie zdravotnej starostlivosti, ošetrovateľskú starostlivosť nevynímajúc, na vysokej odbornej úrovni a uplatnení dôkazov vedeckovýskumnej činnosti v praxi. Poskytovanie kvalitnej a bezpečnej zdravotnej starostlivosti je zároveň základnou a prirodzene očakávanou požiadavkou prijímateľov zdravotníckych služieb – pacientov.
Sestry sú významným subjektom v rámci zabezpečenia kvality a kultúry bezpečnosti pacientov v každom zdravotníckom zariadení v rozsahu stanovených štandardov a požiadaviek. Existuje viacero potvrdených determinujúcich faktorov, ktoré zvyšujú podiel participácie sestier na procese zabezpečenia bezpečnosti pacientov v rámci poskytovania zdravotníckych služieb.
Majú najpočetnejšie zastúpenie medzi jednotlivými zdravotníckymi pracovníkmi a z hľadiska časovej analýzy majú najdlhší bezprostredný kontakt s pacientom počas pracovného času. Intervencie v rozsahu ich kompetencií predstavujú súbor rôznorodých činností vyžadujúcich širokú erudíciu, precízne zručnosti a uplatnenie kritického myslenia. Rovnaké požiadavky sú kladené na všetkých členov multidisciplinárneho tímu poskytovateľov zdravotnej starostlivosti, či už ide o pôrodnú asistentku, fyzioterapeuta, zdravotníckeho záchranára, rádiologického technika, nutričného terapeuta, dentálnu hygieničku alebo lekára či zubného lekára a i. Výkon každého zdravotníckeho povolania umožňuje špecifikovať determinanty spoločné i jedinečné pre naplnenie kultúry kvality a bezpečnosti pacienta.
Kvalita zdravotnej starostlivosti a bezpečnosť pacientov si vyžadujú integrovaný prístup všetkých zainteresovaných strán. Ich naplnenie sa začína procesom vzdelávania počas pregraduálnej prípravy na výkon zdravotníckeho povolania. Proces stotožnenia sa a prijatia morálnych noriem je výzvou adaptačnej fázy. Realita každodenných intervencií v pracovnom procese si vyžaduje angažovanosť a osobnú zodpovednosť v predchádzaní pochybení a nežiaducich udalostí. Dôsledné monitorovanie kvality a bezpečnosti je napĺňané procesmi nastavenia medzinárodných a národných noriem výkonu zdravotníckej praxe, manažmentom včasného hlásenia rizika pochybenia, chýb a nežiaducich udalostí, objektívnym preskúmaním pochybení a efektívnym manažmentom riešenia zistených rizík a udalostí. Význam problematiky bezpečnosti pacientov podčiarkuje i skutočnosť, že riziko či naplnenie pochybenia vytvárajú silný predpoklad negatívneho dosahu na kvalitu poskytovanej zdravotnej starostlivosti, zhoršenie zdravotného stavu pacienta, ba až jeho poškodenie s následkom smrti.
Kvalita a bezpečnosť zdravotnej starostlivosti je permanentné úsilie manažérov a zdravotníkov, napĺňané prevzatím osobnej zodpovednosti, ich erudíciou a manažérskymi zručnosťami.
Táto vysokoškolská učebnica je určená študentom zdravotníckych študijných programov v pregraduálnom a doktorandskom štúdiu, v ďalšom a sústavnom vzdelávaní, sestrám a ďalším zdravotníckym pracovníkom v praxi, pedagógom i výskumníkom.

Reviewed Proceedings of Contributions from a Scientific Conference

This reviewed collection of contributions from the scientific e-conference Legal Language in Application Practice, held from December 3 to 21, 2018, presents various academic contributions.

Legal language, as expressed in legal norms, is specific and should ideally be unambiguous, concise, and resistant to multiple interpretations. Is this an ideal world that does not exist but is worth striving for? Interpretative challenges and ambiguities in legal language and terminology (especially in the Labour Code) led the Department of Labour Law and Social Security Law at UPJŠ in Košice to undertake the VEGA grant project No. 1/0526/17 titled Linguistic and Sanction Mechanisms in the Creation and Operation of Labour Law Norms.

As part of this grant project, the department organized an e-conference open not only to labor law specialists but also to experts from other legal fields. Unsurprisingly, interpretative issues extend beyond labor law. The contributions in this collection are thus somewhat interdisciplinary, though with a focus on labor law. We hope this collection serves as an introduction to broader research and deeper study of legal language by experts beyond legal theory. Additionally, we trust these contributions will inspire you, the readers.

The Industrial Revolution cannot be avoided or hidden from, but it is equally wrong to see it only in gray tones. Let us be optimistic. The Information Age can also mean a reduction in working hours, perhaps more time for family and interpersonal relationships, or an overall increase in individual economic luxury. The Information Age will take away many job opportunities but will put many others on the table, though mostly for the educated. Science and research will become even more important for overall economic development than they are today. Let us be prepared.

The ambition of this monograph is not, and cannot be, to provide an exhaustive answer to the above-outlined debates. Its goal is to stimulate broader scientific discussion, particularly on the issue of mental health protection in correlation with the advent of the Information Age. The subject of study is the protection of the individual—the employee—who must adapt to a new technological environment and its associated demands.

The monograph represents a comprehensive output by authors who, over the past two years, have published on similar topics within the APVV-16-0002 grant "Mental Health in the Workplace and Assessment of Employee Health Capability." The authors believe that thanks to this APVV grant, they will continue to build on this topic in the coming years. Most importantly, they hope that its content will engage you, the readers.

The aim of the current monograph is to provide comprehensive view of the status of regional judicial organs in current conditions of regionalism. Based on selected issues examined in individual chapters research team presents the comprehensive study focused on clarification of the status and significance of regional judicial organs in terms of new regionalism.

Research of the role of regional courts in the system of peaceful settlement of disputes demonstrates the significant role of the regional courts within the promotion of the rule of law, regional integration and also significant role of regional courts to ensure legal certainty within the system of compliance with decisions of regional courts. The result of examination of possibilities of individuals to access to regional judicial organs is comparative evaluation of regional possibilities of individual to defend his/her rights within regional courts of various regions. Particular part of this area is the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial as basic rights within the proceedings of regional judicial organs. Within the examination of preliminary rulings of international regional courts of different regions the role of regional judicial organs in the process of effective implementation of the principle of the rule of law was the subject of examination.

For the proper functioning of the regional judicial organs as well as independence of judges and legal certainty in International law, the ethical rules of international judicial organs and tribunals, which are the subject of the last chapter, are significant.

The possibility of solving the grant project VVGS-2016-284 has provided a unique opportunity for members of the author´s team in the interdisciplinary composition to examine the issue not only from a tax-law point of view, but also from a political point of viewIn the presented monograph, the authors focused on the characterization of different aspects of the EU in order to allow the reader correctly understand its position in relation to the outside world and to its inward relations within its Member States in the context of the creation and implementation of the EU tax policy.

Particular attention is paid to the definition of the relationship between national tax legislation and EU law, the impact of the EU's tax policy on the national laws of its Member States, with reference to the identification of the harmonized areas with the approximation of their current stage of development and the final objective. This definition can be seen as a prerequisite for a correct and comprehensive understanding of the application and implementation of EU institutions' initiatives to prevent tax evasion and tax fraud and their implementation into the national legal order of the Slovak Republic. In the last part of the monograph, the authors focused on defining individual EU initiatives to combat tax evasion and tax fraud as a means of implementing its tax policy, in the area of ​​indirect taxation, in particular in the field of value added tax and in the field of direct taxation, especially with regard to corporate taxation, and to evaluate their projection into the national tax legislation of the Slovak Republic. At the same time, in these chapters, they assessed the real impact and effect of the measures admitted on the basis of the initiatives in practice.

The presented work is intended for a university student studying in the field of Tax Law and European Law, as well as the broader legal and economic community. However, in view of the scope and recency of the subject under consideration, the authors believe that the publication will find its application not only in the theoretical field but also in the practical field.

Issues of punishment are directly linked to a state’s criminal policy, which is an inseparable part of its social policy. Historically, the state has held a unique dominant position in the realm of punishment. Once the conditions for imposing a penalty are met, the state fulfills its obligation by sentencing through independent courts. However, it does not address questions of satisfaction, which belong to the victim. The victim may be a specific physical person or legal entity that suffered harm due to the criminal act. This harm simultaneously affects civil society as a whole. The state prioritizes its duty to punish and decide on the matter over compensating the harmed individual or civil society.

By mediation in criminal cases, we mean extrajudicial facilitation of resolving disputes between the offender and the harmed party, with the assistance and personal participation of a mediator. The mediator, as an independent and impartial person, helps parties identify their interests and supports them in finding shared, practical, and realistic solutions to the points causing their conflict. Probation refers to monitoring, supervising the accused, defendant, or convicted individual, as well as providing individual assistance to the offender and encouraging them to lead a lawful life. This reduces the risk of recidivism, or repeated criminal behavior.

The complex of legal norms protecting work, ensuring safety and health protection at work, is very broad in scope, extending beyond the Labour Code to include other specific legal regulations, collective agreements, executive legal regulations, and internal corporate normative acts.

Health protection of employees from hazardous workplace influences is a central requirement stemming from fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. To ensure its universal enforcement across all employers in both private and public sectors, strict regulation through cogent norms is fully justified. The European Commission’s Communication to the European Parliament, Council, European Economic and Social Committee, and Committee of the Regions on the EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014–2020 (COM(2014) 332 final) addresses the need to account for labor market changes arising from demographic shifts, aging populations, and technological advancements.

Work pace demands are intensifying, and all age categories of employees must adapt to new technologies, organizational changes, and evolving job structures. This increases requirements for maintaining health fitness throughout entire professional careers. Mental health fitness, which receives insufficient specific attention, is an inherent part of health fitness requirements. Prevention plays a critical role in mental health protection.

Research into justice in public administration organizations has not yet been conducted in Slovakia, not even in the scope of respondents addressed. Therefore, we consider the project cross-sectional, current, and beneficial for deeper exploration of this area.

The project is designed as interdisciplinary, combining insights from legal perspectives in defining justice from labor law aspects, psychological and ethical evaluations of fairness levels, and knowledge from public administration management fields.

The inspiration for selecting this topic stems from its academic relevance, confirmed by both domestic and international studies, as well as its public relevance, where laypeople most intensely perceive justice/injustice in relation to remuneration and appropriate labor-law conditions – exemplified by teachers’ strikes (2003, 2006, 2016), nurses’ strikes (2003, 2006, 2012, 2016), ŽSR employees’ strikes (2003), and doctors’ strikes (2011).

It is very difficult to refer to any act of extremism or action having extremist characteristics, or to exclude it unambiguously. The boundary between extremism and accepted, conformal behavior is very broad and vaguely worded. Each company tends to set certain criteria to determine what can be considered as unwanted, violent, radical or extreme, or what signs of such a manifestation do not have. Therefore, when comparing the individual countries of the European Union in this area, we come across a different definition of what is or is not considered to be radical or extremist. In essence, the level of tolerance to some of the manifestations and the setting of indicators for the evaluation of the proceedings as extremist.

The presented monograph aims to present the basic social contexts of extremism and radicalization in the form of their philosophical and theoretical backgrounds, influencing the factors, the basic directions. In the author's work, the authors focus on the target group of adolescents, which they consider to be one of the most endangered groups in society in terms of development of the radicalization process. At the conclusion of the monograph is also offered the criminal level of these phenomena, which is not unavoidable in terms of complex analysis.

Nutrition is among the fundamental needs of humans. A good nutritional status directly impacts an individual’s growth and development, health maintenance, and quality of life. This university textbook addresses nutrition in the context of dietetics and therapeutic nutrition, offering an overview of basic food components such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

It provides detailed insights into nutritional requirements across different developmental stages. In assessing nutritional status, it explores evaluation methods, including nutritional screening, anthropometric measurements, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests.

The text clarifies the structure of nutritional care systems for patients in home settings, healthcare facilities, and social institutions through a unified dietary system that defines basic and specialized diets. Alternative nutrition methods are discussed separately, with enteral and parenteral nutrition serving as alternatives during unfavorable health conditions.

The authors focus on application techniques and complications associated with these methods. The book concludes with food safety considerations and foundational principles of the European Union’s food policy. Currently, dietetics and therapeutic nutrition form a critical component of professional training for healthcare students in both undergraduate and postgraduate education, for whom this textbook is designed.

The proposed text focuses on the history of studying biology, medicine, and pharmacy as scientific disciplines from prehistoric times through antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. The text chronologically organizes the most significant figures in the history of biological scientific disciplines, outlines key characteristics of major historical discoveries, and reevaluates their significance from the perspective of 21st-century science.

The educational text is chronologically divided into the most significant periods of civilization development. The last two completed centuries—the 19th and 20th—are subdivided into major life science fields due to the unprecedented growth of biological disciplines and the resulting volume of acquired information.

Since it can sometimes be challenging in science to define what constitutes the past versus the present of a particular discipline, we have excluded significant biological discoveries from the early 21st century, which are typically regarded as the “present” of biology.

Vnútorné lekárstvo je medicínsky odbor, ktorý využíva poznatky z predklinických disciplín – fyziológie, patológie, biochémie, farmakológie – v diagnostike, liečbe a v prevencii jednotlivých ochorení. Ako integrujúci odbor v rámci klinickej medicíny má dominantné postavenie v príprave a v praktickom výkone aj nelekárskych zdravotníckych vied (v urgentnej zdravotnej starostlivosti, rádiologickej technike, ošetrovateľstve, vo fyzioterapii, v pôrodnej asistencii a v iných). Vo vnútornom lekárstve sa postupne formovali jednotlivé pododbory: kardiológia, angiológia, pneumológia, gastroenterológia, nefrológia, hematológia, endokrinológia, reumatológia, imunológia, diabetológia, infektológia, onkológia. Ich postupnou štrukturalizáciou vznikli špecializované pracoviská, a to jednotky intenzívnej starostlivosti zamerané na metabolické stavy, cievne príhody, kritické stavy v hematológii, v onkológii a koronárne jednotky. Zo všeobecných vnútorných oddelení sa vyčlenili napríklad geriatrické oddelenia. Publikácia „Klinická propedeutika, vnútorné lekárstvo a špecifiká ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti vo vnútornom lekárstve“ je určená pre študentov nelekárskych zdravotníckych vied. Záujem o túto publikáciu bol veľký, preto sme pripravili 2., doplnené vydanie. Potvrdilo sa, že konečný efekt poskytovanej zdravotnej starostlivosti vždy vychádza z tímovej spolupráce, čo potvrdzuje aj záujem o túto publikáciu. Základné poznatky z odboru vnútorné lekárstvo rozšírené o kapitoly podávajúce prehľad špecifík ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti pri chorobách kardiovaskulárneho, dýchacieho či endokrinného systému, pri chorobách obličiek, gastrointerstinálneho, hematologického a pohybového systému sú veľmi dôležitou súčasťou liečebnej starostlivosti. Edukácia pacienta so zameraním na liečbu, elimináciu bolesti, prevenciu komplikácií, selfmonitoring, výživu, pohybovú aktivitu a rehabilitáciu, úroveň sebestatočnosti a iné činnosti, vhodne dopĺňa komplexný prístup k pacientovi. Cieľom tejto učebnice je oboznámiť študujúcich s aktuálnymi, modernými postupmi pri jednotlivých chorobách, aby pochopili ich význam. Rozsah problematiky samozrejme nedovoľuje poskytnúť vyčerpávajúce poznatky, preto odporúčame dopĺňať si informácie z ďalšej odbornej literatúry. Nové diagnostické a liečebné postupy prinášajú okrem benefitov aj rôzne riziká. Preto treba pacienta o diagnostickom a liečebnom výkone informovať a vyžiadať si jeho písomný informovaný súhlas na uskutočnenie vyšetrovacej metódy a liečby. Výsledkom liečebného postupu má byť zabezpečenie dobrej alebo primeranej kvality života pacienta. Patrí sem nielen pocit fyzického zdravia, ale v globálnom pohľade aj psychická kondícia, spoločenské uplatnenie, rodinné vzťahy a pod., teda holistický pohľad na pacienta. Nemožno zabúdať ani na význam psychoterapie. Tomu napomáha vzájomná súčinnosť medicínskych a ošetrovateľských činností. Autori veria, že aktualizovaná publikácia pomôže študentom ošetrovateľstva získať potrebné vedomosti a že sa k nej budú opätovne radi vracať po radu a aktuálne platné odborné informácie.

Učebnicu Trestné právo procesné, 4. prepracované a doplnené vydanie, napísal autorský kolektív zložený z pracovníkov Katedry trestného práva a kriminológie Právnickej fakulty Trnavskej univerzity v Trnave a Katedry trestného práva Univerzity Komenského v Bratislave. Učebnica je určená predovšetkým študentom právnických fakúlt ako základný študijný materiál ku skúškam a neskôr k výkonu právnických povolaní. Obsah učebnice si nenárokuje prezentáciu úplne všetkých poznatkov trestného práva procesného, je skôr účelovo usporiadaný tak, aby zodpovedal požiadavkám vysokoškolskej prípravy právnikov a aby zabezpečil osvojenie si komplexných poznatkov o jednotlivých inštitútoch a štádiách trestného konania. Autori v učebnici zároveň reagujú aj na nedávne početné legislatívne zmeny v predmetnej oblasti. Jej využitie je preto možné aj v justičnej praxi a môže byť kvalitným zdrojom informácií aj pre sudcov, prokurátorov, policajtov, advokátov a všetkých tých, ktorí sa tou či onou mierou podieľajú na trestnom konaní u nás. Text učebnice je totiž vedený úprimnou snahou autorov poskytnúť všetkým záujemcom kvalitné a aktuálne informácie, ktoré by im mohli pomôcť zvládnuť náročné štúdium a orientáciu v oblasti trestného práva procesného.
