The textbook "Literary Story as a Tool for Moral Education" aims to contribute to the preparation of future teachers of ethical education, as well as students from other fields, particularly in the humanities. It focuses on an area that remains trivialized and marginalized—gender-sensitive education and training. The author operates under the assumption that applying a gender-sensitive approach in education requires an understanding of what a gender perspective entails.

Experience from interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, along with teaching experiences where ethical questions and themes—such as those related to gender, gender equality, gender justice, and gender relations—are presented, taught, and explored through various media or texts (not only traditional scientific and professional ones but also artistic, especially literary), inspired the author to present such an approach in a relatively coherent form.

This includes summarizing existing knowledge and experiences on the topic so that they can serve as a suitable starting point for enhancing the competencies of future teachers (not only) in ethical education when applying a gender-sensitive approach in education and teaching issues related to gender and gender relations in the context of applied ethics and ethical education.

The topic of gender equality in the university and academic environment in Slovakia remains in a highly ambivalent position – often overlooked and marginalized, instrumentalized and perceived as an alien element or a formal necessity, but most frequently exposed to numerous misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

The intention of the presented publication and its authorial collective is to contribute to shaping and cultivating an environment where it is possible to discuss issues of gender relations in the academic environment objectively, develop research from a gender perspective, and primarily implement gender equality policy as one of the tools for democratizing the academic sphere and the university. The collection was created within the framework of the project VVGS-2018-749, "Creating a Gender Equality Plan at UPJŠ in Košice," and presents various contexts and perspectives from which to consider issues of gender equality at the university. Individual authors focus on the topic of gender equality from philosophical, philosophical-legal, and legal perspectives in their texts.

The final text presents the findings of qualitative research, which was part of the mentioned project, their interpretation, and conclusions from the perspective of further implementation of gender equality policy at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. We understand the publication as an invitation to discussion, critical thinking, and research, and thus to creating a university as we can be.

The university textbook Ethics of Science and Technique (Selected Problems) is a collection of contributions by various authors who deal with selected problems and areas of science and technique. For the last hundred years, we can observe the rapid development of science and technique (technology). The transition of society in the 20th century into the information age and in the current 21st century into the digital age brings radical challenges and changes in all areas of human life, but especially in the moral field.

Ethical discussions, responding to the development of science and technique (technology), have stimulated the emergence of ethics of science and technique, which as a subdiscipline of applied ethics is a way out of the conflict between professional autonomy, social control and self-regulation of action and behaviour; not only in science and technique, but also in economy and politics. In the digital age, technique, technology and science are fundamentally changing our lives; from the way we work to the way we communicate, how we fight local and global problems, and how we try to solve societal problems.

These radical changes are not without controversy, and many provoke intense debates that are often polarized or associated with scientific ambiguities or dishonest demagoguery and ideology.

Publikace v kontextu evropské filozofické tradice nabízí orientaci v důležitých tématech obou souvisejících oborů. Publikace je věnována propojení filozofie (etiky), práva a vědeckého poznání s klinickou praxí pediatrie a neonatologie.

Obecné kapitoly definují základní principy bioetiky, základní pojmy a směry etiky. Vybrané praktické kapitoly řeší klinické a psychosociální otazníky pediatrie a neonatologie. Velká část praktického oddílu knihy je věnována etice paliativní péče v dětském věku a neonatologii. Zamýšlí se nad hranicí viability, intenzivní, vývojovou a následnou péčí v neonatologii, řeší problematiku bolesti, umírání, (ne)zahájení a ukončení život udržující léčby. Součástí je doprovázení rodiny dítěte s život limitující diagnózou, terminální fází onemocnění a na konci života. Zmíněny jsou i zdánlivě okrajové oblasti, jako je etika výzkumu, psychologie, genetika, výživa dětského věku, právo na kojení a výživu mlékem matky. Zmiňuje také právní a etickou problematiku babyboxů, náhradního mateřství, císařských řezů na přání, problematiku očkování. Pozornost je věnována dospívajícím.

Rozsáhlý oddíl je pak věnován eticko-právním souvislostem. Tématy jsou koncept nejlepšího zájmu dítěte, ochrana práv dítěte, zástupné rozhodování, informovaný souhlas v pediatrii a etické souvislosti péče o děti z jiného kulturního prostředí, vlivu medií na formování zdraví dítěte. Samostatná kapitola je věnovaná týmové práci.

Monografie je určena zdravotníkům (lékaři i sestry) v oboru pediatrie, neonatologie a paliativní péče. Může být přínosem studentům, kteří směřují k oboru pediatrie, pečujícím zdravotně-sociálního pomezí v pediatrii.
