Pozornosť, venovaná problematike čínskeho pôsobenia, je vysoko relevantná. Kreovanie pozitívnej reputácie v zahraničí je legitímnym nástrojom každého štátu v snahe generovať vplyv. Čínska ľudová republika bola v tomto smere od úvodu tisícročia veľmi úspešná, vďaka čomu sa v medzinárodnom systéme začala dostávať do pozícií, na ktoré si z hľadiska vlastnej histórie, veľkosti a potenciálu legitímne nárokuje. Príklady zo zahraničia zároveň upozorňujú na skutočnosť, že ani čínska zahraničná politika by nemala byť prijímaná nekriticky a zasluhuje si obozretný prístup a uvážlivú diskusiu. To celé pri rešpektovaní nielen čínskej osobitosti, ale aj zohľadnení reálií veľmocenského súboja viditeľného v úvode 21. storočia. V tomto kontexte nemožno abstrahovať od detailného pohľadu na čínsku mäkkú moc, ako jedného z kľúčových nástrojov generovania vplyvu vo svete. Jej poznanie a pochopenie je nevyhnutným predpokladom pre relevantné vyhodnocovanie praktík a motivácií zahraničnej politiky Číny, no zároveň môže poslúžiť ako usmernenie v snahe vytvoriť adekvátny prístup voči tejto navrátivšej globálnej veľmoci.

Zborník z medzinárodnej konferencie „Psychológia práce a organizácie 2012“

V dňoch 23. - 24. 5.2012 sa v historických priestoroch Univerzity P.J. Šafárika v Košiciach uskutočnil dvanásty ročník medzinárodnej konferencie „Psychológia práce a organizácie 2012“. Kontinutiná séria konferencií venovných psychológie práce a organzácií sa začala v roku 1999 (prvá mala názov „Psychológia práce – teórie a prax“ a uskutočnila sa v Zlatej Idke). Od roku 2009 sa koná striedavo v Českej a Slovenskej republike. Konferenciu organizačne pipravila Katedra psychológie Filozofickej fakulty Univerzity P.J.Šafárika v Košiciach. Spoluorganizátormi podujatia boli Spoločenskovedný ústav Slovenskej akadémie vied, Ústav aplikovanej psychológie FSEV Univerzity Komenského v Bratislave a Ústav na VV a VTOS v Košiciach. V rámci tradičného zamerania konferencie, ktorým je základný a aplikovaný výskum v oblasti psychológie práce, bolo prezentovaných spolu 37 príspevkov (25 referátov a 12 posterov). Podstatná časť plenárnych vystúpení, referátov a posterov tvorí obsah tohto zborníka.

The foundations of the presented work were developed alongside the emerging research on child language in Slovakia. An enthusiastic team of individuals from several scientific fields—psychology (Marína Mikulajová), speech therapy (Svetlana Kapalková), and linguistics (Daniela Slančová, Jana Kesselová, Zuzana Ondráčková, Stanislava Zajacová, Iveta Bónová)—met regularly, discussed, and sought ways to mobilize efforts to achieve their set goals: conducting research on the language of intact (healthily developing) children based on actual longitudinal observation.

I am very pleased and grateful to have been part of the team at the beginning of systematic research in the field of child language acquisition in Slovakia. As a member of this team and a co-researcher on several projects in this area, I had the opportunity to participate in research on child language, which is no longer "on the fringes" of scientific interest. It has become a serious, exact study supported by quantitative and qualitative data, conducted systematically "at an excellent scientific level" (Průcha, 2011, p. 14).

The research itself was naturally preceded by data collection. The technologies of the late 20th century enabled the replacement of the outdated diary recording method with what is now the most commonly applied approach to material collection—audio-visual recordings. The synthesis of analyzed data collected over time, its explanation, generalization, and integration into a broader interdisciplinary research context is all the more interesting and beneficial as it contributes to speech therapy practice. Thanks to the results of the latest research, intervention possibilities in speech therapy are expanding, and methods for (early) diagnosis and stimulation are being developed and refined.

The textbook Basic Concepts of Morphology is an introduction to morphology intended for undergraduate students of British and American Studies and students of English (and French/German) for European Institutions and Economy and other philology studies in Slovakia. The textbook gradually guides students from key terms to concepts and from there to theoretically more challenging phenomena. The textbook is primarily for Slovak students of English, which explains that the majority of the examples presented are English. As the textbook progresses, data from Slovak, German, French, Hungarian and sometimes from slightly more exotic languages are given. It is expected that such an approach will prepare students for carrying out morphological analysis independently.

The textbook is intended for students of Slovak studies to study the subject of didactics of Slovak as a foreign language.

Its core consists of relevant knowledge gained from the didactics of Slovak as a foreign language, with references to other professional literature. The textbook also includes practical guides for teaching specific language phenomena in schools with Hungarian as the language of instruction or in schools where students predominantly have a mother tongue other than Slovak, such as Romani. Essentially, it involves transforming knowledge acquired and verified in teaching adult foreigners, mainly at universities, into a didactic context for the second level of elementary school and high school, with appropriate emphasis on teaching Slovak as a foreign language at the first level of elementary school as the starting point for the educational process.

The textbook builds on the findings of real research on the state of teaching Slovak as a foreign language in elementary and secondary schools in eastern Slovakia, conducted in projects (EXPERT and DiSaC) implemented at UPJŠ in Košice from 2012 to 2015.

The work deals with the evolution in theory and practice of democracy, open society and humanism which is marked by dichotomy of its own progressive and regressive features. Civilization trajectory of human reality, the implementation strategy thought overlaps through a reality in the form of freedom, solidarity and human rights, formulation of normative ideas of man and his/her nature, rationalistic universalism and voluntaristic individualism created preconditions for the political background of modern societies which established democratic order with rules allowing to dispose with freedom to which the individual, as a rational being, is authorized. Moreover, the perspective of awareness of ambiguity and paradoxical content of individual parameters of democracy, open society and humanism, ideologically shaped and fixed by worldviews of economic and political elites, from our point of view, is a mirror image of how those conditions differ from the standard assumptions formulated in theory.

Deviate číslo Doktorandských miscelaneí predstavuje reprezenta-tívny výber štyroch študijných programov Filozofickej fakulty UPJŠ v Košiciach. V porovnaní s minulými číslami chýbajú v aktuálnom zväzku tradične zastúpené odbory filozofie a sociálnej práce. Naopak, pribudli príspevky z histórie a politológie . Menší počet príspevkov v tohtoročnom zväzku Doktorandských miscelaneí vyvažuje rôznorodosť uvažovania mladých vedcov nad aktuálnymi témami. Zastúpenie štyroch humanitných a spoločen-skovedných študijných programov, no predovšetkým individuálne tvorivé výkony doktorandov našej fakulty sú vo svojej pestrosti i invencii inšpirujúce nielen pre najmladšiu generáciu bádateľov, ale aj pre širšie akademické prostredie.

The starting point is the concept of competencies in the context of current approaches of scientific psychology, which resonates in the official documents of the European Union and has been elaborated and enriched by the authors. The monograph focuses on a selected set of competencies, namely: competence to act as a self-regulated person, self-development, decision-making competencies, social and metacognitive competencies in the context of motivation. Knowledge about nature, the structure of competencies are presented, as well as their relations with personal and environmental variables.

The effort of the authors is also aimed at making available knowledge about the possibilities of assessing these competencies using current methods. Authors communicate the results of the creation and verification of competency assessment methods. The implementation of the research results presented in the monograph is perspective in the education and counseling of the target group of university students.

The theme of self-care is currently a significant trend, emerging as a protective factor in numerous demanding life situations. The implementation and internalization of self-care are highly desirable in certain life phases. One of the challenging life stages is considered to be higher education. Pursuing studies at a university entails substantial life changes: a new social circle; novel forms of academic workload; the initiation of interpersonal relationships; and the process of self-independence. Self-care offers students the opportunity to establish order in their lives, to pause and contemplate the meaning of things, and to maintain well-being. The aim of the textbook is to assist students in understanding the concept of self-care, its potential benefits, and strategies for implementation. It provides various examples, case studies, and worksheets for initial engagement with self-care practices.

The presented monographic processing of the issues of groups, as a basic phenomenon of our social life, draws a lot of current knowledge from realized researches, their empirical results and practical work with the group, which offers a comprehensive view of the social group. Social group looks both as a natural part of human life and it is analyzed and studied, so that knowledge of the social group can be rewarded.

This has been transferred to artificially created groups to help individuals through group work. At the same time, the monograph also considers the method of social work with a group as one of the methods used in various helping professions.
