Skriptá Lectiones grammaticae Latinae I sú primárne určené pre študentov 1. ročníka špecializácie Latinský jazyk a literatúra na FF UPJŠ v Košiciach. Vznikli z praktickej potreby ľahko dostupnou formou (elektronicky) sprístupniť študentom preberané gramatické učivo v takej postupnosti, v akej nasleduje v jednotlivých lekciách používanej cvičebnice latinského jazyka. Z toho dôvodu obsahujú i gramatické javy presahujúce oblasť latinskej morfológie, ktorá tvorí hlavnú náplň gramatického kurzu v 1. roku štúdia. V prípade potreby sú však využiteľné aj pre iné študijné odbory, ktoré majú ako súčasť študijného programu latinský jazyk.

The history of the Balkans (not just in the 20th century) and its nations have had an irreplaceable place at the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, UPJŠ in Košice for several years. Therefore, this textbook is a logical culmination of this established trend. It represents the third publication focused on Southeastern Europe, as in 2015 a monograph titled International Relations in the 19th and 20th Centuries I (Nations of Southeastern Europe in International Politics, 1804 – 1856) was published, and in 2020 Nations of Southeastern Europe under International Politics from 1856 to 1913.
Logically then, this publication complements the literature portfolio (both thematically and chronologically) for students interested in this still turbulent region. Previous works are scientific monographs that can also be used during pedagogical processes; however, this work is directly aimed at students and their needs.

The textbook for the course of Philosophical Anthropology should help the students of philosophy in major subject as much as of philosophy as minor in combination with other study programs in social sciences and STEM disciplines, to develop their own ideas and opinions about the question of human being in the philosophy. Its aim is to make a short introduction into the field of philosophical anthropology and to educate the students in the most important topics of the discipline.
Every chapter consist of the theoretical part and of the practical analysis of the text, which is followed by three questions at the end of each chapter. Students, who will later become the philosophy teachers, shall learn how to discuss and teach several topics from the philosophical anthropology in their future classes. Therefore, the textbook is suitable as much for the pedagogical as for the non-pedagogical study programs.

When studying the Renaissance, researchers utilize various critical and core terms and concepts which it is necessary to characterize. However, many such points, notably the following, are problematic: The relationship between the Renaissance and the antiquity; The connection with the Middle Ages; The transformation to Mannerism and Baroque; Realism and Secularism in Renaissance art; The individualism of the Renaissance artist; The reasons for the creation of Renaissance art in Italy, its determinants and stimulators; Distinguishing between the analysis of the genesis of the Renaissance and the analysis of the creation of the period’s art generally; Regional differences in Italy and their impact on the art; Chronological limits of the Renaissance and its milestones; The terms “Medieval Ages” and “Early Modern Period”; The impact, and its extent, of the artistic influences of the Byzantine, Gothic and Romanesque arts on the Renaissance. The term “Renaissance” itself, its content and existence, are also the subject of the discussion with students, alongside learning how such terms and definitions came about and continue to evolve, how they attain their content, how this content morphs in the historical discourse, what academical pluralism and freedom of thinking look like in the discourse led by historians, what the differences are between scientists and schools of thought on the same subject and how it is possible that they are so numerous. The students will come to recognize the leading scholars in the field, and follow their arguments and methodological approaches. They shall be invited to closely trace and scrutinize the logic which those historians use in building their argumentation. It shall be seen that the freedom to create terms, concepts and new definitions cannot stand on an ignorance of the (historical) facts, as becomes clear with expanding knowledge of those historical facts, the variability of their interpretation growing in tandem. This approach, actually used across the whole range of seminars and lectures, shall drive discussion on the topics covered, students being invited to formulate their own theses and antitheses.

Študentská vedecká konferencia je v rámci akreditovaných študijných programov Katedry histórie Filozofickej fakulty UPJŠ definovaná ako povinne voliteľný predmet. Po prvý krát bola na pôde katedry usporiadaná v roku 2011. Primárnym cieľom, tohto už tradičného podujatia, je prezentácia čiastkových výstupov študentského autorského výskumu, naviazaného predovšetkým na vybrané faktické časti či teoretické východiská bakalárskych a magisterských záverečných prác. Z toho vyplýva aj široké tematické spektrum vnútorného obsahu jednotlivých konferencií. Okrem udelenia kreditov za absolvovanie disponuje konferencia vo vzťahu k študentom celým radom pridaných hodnôt, ktorých sprostredkovanie možno chápať ako jej sekundárne ciele.
Študenti, ktorí sú na rôznych stupňoch ich študijného rastu, tak majú pri príprave svojich príspevkov možnosť intenzívnejšie spolupracovať so svojimi školiteľmi, v rámci konferencie prezentovať svoje poznatky pred širším auditóriom a v neposlednom rade, majú možnosť dostať spätnú väzbu od odbornej komisie tvorenej pedagógmi z Katedry histórie. Nemenej dôležité je tiež nadobudnutie schopností prezentovať „veľký“ text v limitovanom časovom úseku, vysporiadať sa s konštruktívnou kritikou a adekvátne na ňu reagovať či schopnosť adekvátne a pružne reagovať na otázky a podnety v otvorenej diskusii. Ako organizátori podujatia a zároveň vysokoškolskí pedagógovia považujeme za dôležité tieto schopnosti a kompetencie u študentov rozvíjať. Zároveň máme za to, že toto nadobudnuté poznanie môžu študenti pozitívne využiť vo svojej budúcej praxi a to či už ako profesionálni historici, alebo ako učitelia dejepisu.
Od roku 2011 sa študentská vedecká konferencia teší relatívne čulému záujmu čo dokladuje každoročný priemerný počet 10 až 15 prednášajúcich. Svoje príspevky v rámci 10 ročnej tradície podujatia predniesli aj študenti, ktorí v súčasnosti pôsobia ako úspešní doktorandi, vysokoškolskí tvoriví zamestnanci, výskumníci a učitelia dejepisu. Spomenúť možno napr. mená ako Dominika Kleinová (KKD UP), Vavrinec Žeňuch (IH FF PU), Katarína Lukáčová (KH FF UPJŠ), Peter Pavonič, Zuzana Janíková (KH FF UPJŠ), Oliver Zajac (HÚ SAV), Michal Mako (FF MUNI) či Miroslava Gallová a Patrícia Fogelová (SvÚ CSPV SAV v Košiciach).
Na tomto základe sme ako organizátori považovali za prínosné, aby sme „okrúhly“ ročník študentskej vedeckej konferencie kvalitatívne posunuli vyššie a dali možnosť študentom svoje príspevky publikovať. V rámci predkladaného zborníka je publikovaných 7 textov, z toho 4 z bakalárskeho a 3 z magisterského stupňa štúdia. Príspevky postihujú širšie spektrum, prevažne kultúrno-historických tém v časovom horizonte od raného stredoveku až po druhú polovicu 20. storočia, čo dokladá zároveň aj širokú paletu spracovávaných tém záverečných prác na katedre. V rámci bloku venovanému starším dejinám sú obsiahnuté príspevky od Kataríny Jurčovej, ktorá priblížila problematiku Ostrogótskych kráľov, Bc. Kristíny Laškotyovej s príklonom ku kultúrnohistorickej rovine románu Tristan a Izolda, Estery Pracuovej, ktorá sa venovala sonde do problematiky hrdelných trestov v stredoveku a rannom novoveku a Bc. Márie Rebičovej, ktorá priblížila problematiku kráľovských sobášov v Uhorsku počas neskorého stredoveku. Blok novších dejín zastupujú príspevky Bc. Samuela Filipa venované fenoménu vojnovej fotografie, Bc. Heleny Kuncovej, ktorá priblížila aplikáciu moderných marketingových postupov v automobilovej reklame medzivojnového obdobia a Bc. Moniky Tresovej, ktorá priblížila osobnosť Rudolfa Fibyho a jeho pôsobenie v kontexte samizdatovej činnosti v 80. rokoch 20. storočia.
Ako organizátori podujatia máme ambíciu, aby sa z publikovania zborníka stala rovnaká tradícia, ako sa stala zo samotnej študentskej vedeckej konferencie, pretože to považujeme vo vzťahu k práci s našimi študentmi za zmysluplné. V neposlednom rade je potrebné vysloviť poďakovanie nášmu kolegovi a priateľovi Mgr. Henrichovi Hrehorovi, PhD., ktorý bol od roku 2011 dlhodobo hlavným organizátorom a „duchovným otcom“ celého podujatia. Vďaka patrí aj vedúcemu katedry za každoročnú podporu a kolegom, ktorí sa ujali recenzovania príspevkov v rámci predkladaného zborníka.

This academic textbook is addressed to students of English linguistics as an introductory course on syntax, but also to anyone interested in the composition of the English sentence, whether affiliated with academia, school teachers or practising translators. The textbook pursues the Prague Linguistic School tradition of functional structuralism along with an onomasiological perspective as the major methodological focus of the Košice Onomasiological School of Linguistics. Within an onomasiological approach to syntactic analysis the key to the identification of surface structures (ranked as Phrases, Clauses, and Sentences on the syntactic pyramid) is the syntactic meaning (a frame-to-chain approach). The syntactic analysis starts with identification of the arrangement of semantic roles (a deep valency frame) and proceeds to determine a surface valency chain, often several of them, by means of surface grammatical and structural tests. Readers are encouraged to use their intuitions in deciphering the syntactic meaning and identifying the surface chain capable of its activation in both the English sentence analysis as well as cross-linguistically.

The stimulus for this monograph was my two studies on Heidegger’s interpretation of Nietzsche’s ideas of the will to power and eternal return of the same, published in Heidegger and Modern Metaphysics (supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency, APVV-14-0706, under the leadership of V. Leška and M. Sobotka). In the submitted monograph, I present both studies in expanded (particularly “Will to Power as Art”) and refined versions (“Eternal Return of the Same”) and add a third chapter addressing the question of the meaning of interpreting philosophical texts, which themselves are interpretations of other texts.
In seeking an appropriate approach to the meaning of interpretation, I conclude that—generally—the purpose of interpretation is to uncover the productive dimension of the interpreted text, which can only be revealed if the interpreter enters the text openly and as neutrally as possible. If the interpreter does not open themselves to the text, allowing it to interpret them in turn, interpretation remains trapped. I believe that without mutual openness between interpreter and interpreted, interpretation has no meaning and typically becomes either rejection or misinterpretation—a form of violence.
In the third chapter, which I consider foundational, I attempt to “balance” the interpretive context of “Heidegger–Nietzsche” from the first two chapters through a reversible context of “Nietzsche–Heidegger,” albeit with the risk that my interpretation of Nietzsche’s thought—specifically his ideas of eternal return and will to power—may remain subjective, even if unintended as misinterpretation. Ultimately, the ambition of the third chapter is to explore intersections between the two philosophers, one of which—a rudimentary yet significant overlap—I identify as Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world, reinterpreted through Nietzsche’s lens. It is Nietzsche who challenges us to adopt a self-defined stance toward the world, to confront what it means to be in the world.
The challenge for me—and perhaps the reader—is to remain faithful to oneself, which is only possible by persisting in the context of mutual interpretation between interpreter and interpreted, regardless of who/what is interpreting or being interpreted. For the context of being-in-the-world is always co-created by both sides.

The scientific monograph was developed within the framework of the grant project Vega 1/0230/15 entitled "Social and Personality Characteristics of Oncological Ill Men and Women as one of the most important factors of sociotherapy with this group of men and women clients", with the aim of finding some common personal characteristics oncological men and women patients, to focus on choosing their coping strategies that can be significant in terms of oncological disease as well as suggesting ways and means of using the basic methods of sociotherapy as one of the most important methods of social work in working with this group of men and women clients, from the knowledge of their personal and social characteristics.
It is also a starting point for other necessary steps, namely to link the results of research to prax the themselves oncologists to hospitals, their outpatient clinics and patients as well as to support the merit of developing the sociooncology, a specific science discipline.

The goal of the monograph is to highlight the significant problem of interpreting the Socratic question, as its approach represents a method of interpreting the history of philosophy, specifically in our case, the interpretation of Socrates and Plato. The Socratic question can be grasped in diametrically different ways, as shown by Patočka and Nietzsche, among others. The former aligns with Socrates and innovatively updates his question for the present. The latter is ambivalent towards Socrates but ultimately labels him a decadent.
In the first part of the monograph, Patočka's characterization of human existence is presented, which he formulates as unified and morally firm. Patočka interprets the Socratic question as care for the soul, for its well-being, without deriving the concept of good from something positively defined but from the whole world, which can only be defined negatively due to its constant openness. This sphere of negativity is for Patočka something immensely positive because transcendence lifts humans from relative goods to the overall meaning, making them morally capable in the true sense. The good, i.e., the requirement for a surge, for a turn of humans from the world of things to the whole world, is for him a program that Socrates first formulated through his knowing ignorance.
The second part of the work is dedicated to Nietzsche's concept based on the non-unified nature of human existence, which is not derived from the whole world or overall meaning but from situational meaning. Nietzsche strives to prove that in every situation, human existence is exposed to two opposing perspectives, between which it is impossible to decide which is correct. He concludes that both perspectives are equally valid and mutually conditioned, meaning that the opposite of good, what threatens meaning, is a beneficial condition for situational meaning. He labels this level as immoral, as a sphere where human existence creates meaning outside the thinking of good and evil in opposition.
The conclusion of the work is open because, as it turns out, we do not have a common denominator that could decide on the correctness of one or the other concept. Precisely in this lies the fact that the Socratic question remains a serious philosophical problem even today.
