Collection of Contributions from the Scientific Conference. Košice, November 18-19, 2020

The collection titled Borders in Space and Time consists of twelve contributions presented at the tenth edition of the doctoral conference Meeting of Young Historians, which is organized annually by the Department of History at the Faculty of Arts, UPJŠ in Košice. In 2020, we commemorated the centenary of the signing of the Trianon Peace Treaty, which definitively established the borders of Hungary, including those with Czechoslovakia, after World War I; therefore, the theme of the conference was chosen to be the history of borders. The individual contributions focus on the development of borders in the 20th century, borders in thought and education, and borders in earlier historical periods.

Praktická didaktika slovenčiny ako cudzieho...

E-book

E-book

Marianna Sedláková a kol.

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.

Malý anglicko-slovenský slovník verzologických...

Marián Andričík

Podkladom na vznik tejto publikácie boli jednak naše dlhoročné prekladateľské aktivity v oblasti anglofónnej poézie, jednak sústavný záujem o teoretické otázky z oblasti verzológie. Roky ukladania a zbierania materiálu napokon vyústili do tohto slovníka, ktorý predkladáme odbornej verejnosti s vedomím jeho neúplnosti a zavše aj terminologického tápania pri hľadaní ekvivalentu, keďže komplexnejšia komparatívna práca z tejto oblasti doposiaľ nevyšla. Aj preto popri ustálených terminologických ekvivalentoch sme sa rozhodli ponúknuť pri tých termínoch, ktoré zatiaľ slovenské ekvivalenty nemali, vlastné návrhy – tie sú graficky vyznačené kurzívou. Vzhľadom na úzko ohraničenú cieľovú skupinu používateľov sme upustili od slovnodruhovej charakteristiky jednotlivých heslových slov a okrem výnimiek aj od ich fonetického prepisu, teda javov bežných pri všeobecných slovníkoch. Okrem samostatných heslových slov slovník obsahuje aj ustálené kolokácie používané vo verzologickej literatúre. Keďže očakávame, že slovník bude aj študijným materiálom pre študentov anglickej a slovenskej filológie, k mnohým ekvivalentom sme do zátvorky pridali aj bližšiu charakterisiku alebo vysvetlenie daného termínu. Veríme, že tento slovník, prvý 1 Publikácia je výstupom z projektu KEGA č. 014UPJŠ- 4/2021 Preklad a recepcia viazanej poézie ako generačný problém. 6 svojho druhu v našom literárnovednom kontexte, sa stane dobrým základom pre ďalšie, rozsiahlejšie a komplexnejšie príručky.

Úvod do psychológie rozhodovania

E-book

E-book

Jozef Bavoľár

Rozhodovanie sa je našou každodennou činnosťou, či už ide o rozhodnutie o takých bežných záležitostiach, ako čo si dáme na raňajky alebo o tom, pre akú prácu sa rozhodneme po skončení školy. Práve kvôli ďalekosiahlym dôsledkom, ktoré môže mať jedno rozhodnutie na celý náš život, ide o oblasť, ktorej bola v psychológii venovaná veľká pozornosť. Veď klasické ciele psychológie ako popísanie, vysvetlenie či predvídanie ľudského správania sú vlastne pokusmi o vysvetlenie rozhodovania, snahou o nájdenie a popísanie faktorov, ktoré naň pôsobia. Snažia sa o to základné psychologické disciplíny ako psychológia emócií a motivácie, kognitívna psychológia, sociálna psychológia či psychológia osobnosti. V predkladanom texte prevláda najmä kognitívny prístup, sústreďujúci sa na proces spracovania a využívania informácií. Keďže je len veľmi málo skutočností, ktorých výskytom v budúcnosti si môžeme byť úplne istí, základnými pojmami sú slová vyjadrujúce neurčitosť smerom do budúcnosti, ako sú neistota, riziko, objektívna a subjektívna pravdepodobnosť. Hlavnou otázkou je teda spracovanie informácií prichádzajúcich z prostredia a proces ich využitia v procese tvorby rozhodnutí. Sú popísané faktory, ktoré vplývajú na formovanie úsudkov i na tvorbu konečného rozhodnutia. Keď sa pozrieme napr. na príčiny finančnej a následnej ekonomickej krízy, začínajúcej v roku 2008, vidíme že jedným z hlavných faktorov jej vzniku bolo nesprávne vnímanie pravdepodobností, považovanie rizikových investícií za veľmi bezpečné. Dúfam, že predkladaný text napomôže k efektívnejšiemu usudzovaniu a rozhodovaniu, aby sa vám podobné osobné krízy, ktoré by mohli byť následkom nesprávneho úsudku, vyhli. Istým opodstatnením vydania učebného textu je aj nedostatok pôvodnej literatúry venujúcej sa prezentovanej problematike, aj keď už aj v našich podmienkach je psychológia rozhodovania oblasťou záujmu stále väčšieho počtu výskumníčok a výskumníkov.

E-book

Silvia Kontírová a kol.

Pedagogická prax je organizačná forma vysokoškolskej prípravy nastávajúcich učiteľov, ktorá sa realizuje prostredníctvom povinných predmetov pedagogickej praxe. Predmety pedagogickej praxe majú integračný a prakticko-výcvikový charakter, nadväzujú na teoreticko-praktickú výučbu študentov na fakulte a realizujú sa v rozsahu vymedzenom učebnými plánmi v podmienkach odborného pracoviska (cvičnej školy) a pod vedením kvalifikovaných odborníkov (cvičných učiteľov/iek). Od ostatných predmetov vysokoškolskej výučby sa odlišujú najmä tým, že študentom vytvárajú priestor pre samostatné tvorivé vyučovanie v reálnej školskej praxi. Praktická činnosť študentov/tiek v cvičných školách má charakter riadených, dozorovaných a poverenými subjektmi vyhodnocovaných aktivít.

Proceedings of the scientific conference with international participation held on November 30, 2018, in Košice

Current social work addresses the serious development problems of society such as poverty, unemployment, chronic diseases, socially vulnerable groups and others. We must not forget that enough attention must be paid to the discovery of causes and a detailed analysis of these problems. The thing is that social problems have been around for a long time, they just changed their shape, old forms of social risks were replaced by the new ones that need to be explored and analyzed in order to be able to perform measures and remove the causes of social risks of the 21st century. Proceedings of the scientific conference with international participation entitled Social Risks in the Society of the XXI. Century is therefore devoted to various perspectives related to social risks of modern society in the variety of contributions, indicating the broad-spectrum not only of the proceedings, but also the social work itself.

Dejiny Balkánu po druhej svetovej vojne

E-book

E-book

Maroš Melichárek

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.

5. ročník Košických dní sociálnej práce

Zborník príspevkov z vedeckej konferencie s medzinárodnou účasťou konanej dňa 25. 11. 2016 v Košiciach

Problematika reedukácie a resocializácie nie je novým, ale o to naliehavejším problémom, o čo viac rastú rôzne druhy závislostí, čo do rozsahu aj obsahu. Dá sa povedať, že uvedená problematika predstavuje jednu z najústrednejších problematík sociálnej práce v jeho teoretických východiskách aj praktických kontextoch. To bol aj hlavný dôvod výberu tejto problematiky ako ústrednej myšlienky 5. ročníka Košických dní sociálnej práce, ktorý bol už šiestym pokračovaním stretávania odbornej komunity k riešeniu sociálnych problémov, ktoré v súčasnosti trápia našu spoločnosť. Uvedený zborník predstavuje takmer 3 desiatky príspevkov od viac ako dvadsiatky autorov a autoriek zo Slovenska, ale aj Poľska a Českej republiky. Obsah príspevkov sa zaoberá okrem teoretických východísk a názorov na problematiku resocializácie a reedukácie, aj samotnými následkami daných procesov v rôznych klientskych sociálne rizikových skupinách – či už ide o závislých, agresívnych, dlhodobo chorých, trestaných, rozvedených, šikanovaných a mobbingovaných, kyberšikanovaných...atď. Verím, že takýto široký diapazón príspevkov obohatí všetkých tých, ktorí pracujú a študujú v teoretickej, výskumnej, ale aj praktickej rovine sociálnej práce.

Andrea Klimková

The current development of applied ethics globally suggests that applied ethics is entering a new, qualitatively distinct era of innovative application approaches, methodologies, and methods, as well as novel educational formats. The application levels in applied ethics (in bioethics, business ethics, technology ethics, professional ethics, etc.) are tied to critical reflection on previous strategies and methodologies in their teaching.

Combining ethical rationality with practical variability and implementing ethical policies and tools in concrete practice truly demands new competencies, new skills, and the ability to work in novel ways with empirical and normative frameworks. This requires working with ethical theory and moral practice inventively, heuristically, innovatively, and propedeutically.

The creation of useful and professionally constructed procedures and formats is part of the professional and academic preparation of applied ethicists at modern departments of applied ethics.

In connection with the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, which was commemorated in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2019, an interactive exhibition titled "First Touch of Freedom" was organized under the auspices of Košice Self-Governing Region in collaboration with Ján Bocatius Public Library in Košice, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Nation's Memory Institute, and Slovak Radio and Television. The exhibition took place at Ján Bocatius Public Library and aimed to recall November's events from 1989 while emphasizing its cultural-social dimension and impact.

Conceptually, it focused on developing five dimensions of historical consciousness—a concept mainly developed in contemporary subject-specific didactics for history—namely identity, historicity, memory, spatial awareness, and temporal awareness.

The monograph focuses on the issue of loneliness among substance-addicted people in the context of abstinence prospects and re/lapse prevention. In the monograph these phenomena, several theories were integrated and applied in the context of the ecosystem meta-framework of social work and practical contexts. The ecosystem meta-theory serves as a meta-construct with the ability to encompass the complexity of social phenomena as well as that of human beings within the structure of their living and social environment, formal and informal networks, and close intimate relationships.

In this monograph are presented research sample consisted of 235 respondents – hospitalised addicts undergoing urgent treatment, abstaining A-club members as well as members of psychotherapy and self-help groups. The research showed that abstainers were statistically less lonely than the hospitalised respondents. Quantitative data of research are complemented by qualitative data collected in four case studies; two of them focused on two long-term abstainers from alcohol and drugs, while the other two case studies dealt with two respondents in post-hoc treatment undergoing the resocialization process. The research also showed that respondents who broke abstinence felt lonelier than their successfully abstaining counterparts.

The results were supported also by the fact that a statistically significant inversely proportional relationship was identified between the duration of abstinence and loneliness rate. Gender differences were found between the hospitalised addicts in all loneliness dimensions. Naturally, the combined research was limited in certain aspects, mainly in terms of the size and proportional distribution of the research sample and its subgroups, test battery extent, and general nature of the population studied. Triangulation among quantitative and qualitative with the theoretical starting points confirmed the existence of a relationship among loneliness, addiction, and prospect of abstinence.
