Extrémizmus a radikalizácia v sociálnych kontextoch

E-book

Marián Bednár

University textbook Selected Chapters from Managerial Ethics presents selected topics from the current issue of Managerial Ethics.

The historical context of Managerial Ethics and its formation on the background of business ethics, up to the form of independent inter and trans discipline, is presented at the introduction. Being one of the subdisciplines of applied ethics, it is inherently normative and interdisciplinary. It represents an overlapping institutional aspect - management ethics and individual aspect - manager ethics. The issue of social responsibility in economics and business, or the moral profile of a manager as a key player of this applied ethics is mentioned.

Institutionalization and implementation of ethics in corporate culture and the tools that are used in this so complex and interdisciplinary process are also a necessary step. Established ethical management systems, which complement the modularity of institutionalization, are also important. The main question is, of course, ethics in decision-making and management of people, as it is where ethical dilemmas and tensions are born. Also, the issue of ethics in leadership, as another qualitative and developmental stage in Managerial Ethics, is the contribution.

The attached moral dilemmas are meant to reflect, self-test moral intelligence and to be resolved.

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.

Pracovné listy vychádzajúce z priamych konkrétnych potrieb pri vyučovaní košických medikov rešpektujú reálnu situáciu pri vyučovaní slovenčiny ako cudzieho jazyka na UPJŠ. V neposlednom rade reflektujú pomerne vysoký počet slovanských študentov najmä zo susedných krajín, ktorí, hoci so slovenským jazykom iba začínajú, patria z komunikačného hľadiska na vyššiu úroveň ako študenti z neslovanských krajín. Im je teda určená špeciálna časť PL s cvičeniami, ktorá sa špeciálnymi cvičeniami, ale najmä špeciálnymi slovníkmi pokúša eliminovať slovensko-poľské či slovensko-ukrajinské interferenčné javy. Keďže časť študentov – Neslovanov prichádza aj z českého jazykového prostredia, pridávame do slovníkovej časti aj slovníček najčastejších odlišných výrazov v slovenčine, češtine a z vyššie uvedených dôvodov pridávame i poľštinu s ukrajinčinou. V časti určenej všetkým, slovanským či neslovanským, študentom prevládajú komunikačne zamerané cvičenia na nácvik gramatických javov prevažne pre úroveň komunikačných schopností A1 a A2 (podľa spoločného európskeho referenčného rámca) a v neposlednom rade cvičenia tematicky zamerané na medicínu a lekárstvo. Z tematickej oblasti sú texty, samozrejme, doplnené aj o reálie mesta Košice. Ako funkčný doplnok v pracovnom materiáli publikujeme aj ukážky testov.

Pokus o konfrontáciu Gadamerovho učenia nielen s velikánmi gréckej filozofie, ale aj s Hegelom a Heideggerom nie je jednoduchá úloha. Celá Gadamerova historicko-filozofická tvorba je však najvýraznejšie spojená s týmito antickými mysliteľmi a s dvoma géniami nemeckého filozofického myslenia. Preto niet vyhnutia. Bez tejto konfrontácie by bolo celé moje úsilie v istom zmysle zbytočné. To, či a ako sa mi to podarí, je už iná otázka. Každý čitateľ si určite vytvorí svoj vlastný úsudok.

The university textbook Lingua Latina – a workbook for philologists is a parallel study material to the textbook Lingua Latina – cursus communis. It is designed for practicing grammatical material at home. The content of the exercises corresponds to the focus of individual lessons in the mentioned textbook, both in terms of the covered grammatical phenomena and vocabulary. For this reason, only vocabulary that was not part of the lessons covered in the textbook is included in the exercises.

A Latin-Slovak dictionary at the end of the workbook contains the entire vocabulary from both the workbook and the textbook. A Slovak-Latin dictionary includes the vocabulary from exercises that require translation into Latin. The vocabulary of this workbook is oriented towards the needs of students specializing in philology and, with regard to the selection of source materials, also includes non-classical lexicon or non-classical meanings of classical words (this lexicon is marked with an asterisk). The workbook includes a key that allows students to directly verify the correctness of their work.

The textbook Lingua Latina – a workbook for philologists is available electronically in PDF format. As part of the educational program, online tests available on the KKF FF UPJŠ website (https://www.upjs.sk/filozoficka-fakulta/katedra-klasickejfilologie/katedra/) also serve to practice the covered material.

Násilie v práci je problémom, ktorému sa venuje pozornosť už päťdesiat rokov. Klientske násilie je jednou z jeho podôb. Ide o prípady, keď je agresorom človek, prichádzajúci do inštitúcie za účelom využitia jej služieb. Klientske násilie sa týka všetkých pomáhajúcich profesií. Táto monografia sa zaoberá špecifikami klientskeho násilia v sociálnej práci. Okrem teoretických výstupov ponúka aj výsledky výskumu realizovaného na vzorke 1170 respondentov, pracovníkov priameho kontaktu s klientom vo vybraných subjektoch poskytujúcich služby v sociálnej oblasti v SR. Monografia predstavuje súhrn trojročnej práce ôsmich odborníkov. Každý z autorov sa podieľal v rámci svojho odborného zamerania a vniesol do riešenia problematiky iné hľadisko. Hlavným zámerom bolo priniesť rôznorodosť pohľadov na riešenú problematiku a pokúsiť sa skĺbiť ich do kompaktného celku. Tak vznikla monografia, ktorá obsahuje zaujímavé teoretické východiská obsiahnuté v šiestich teoretických kapitolách počnúc úvodnou kapitolou o postavení klientskeho násilia v oblasti násilia v práci. Ďalšie kapitoly sa venujú riziku a rizikovosti sociálnej práce, etickým aspektom, osobnosti sociálneho pracovníka a rizikovým oblastiam sociálnej práce. Kapitola o výskume predkladá čitateľovi projekt výskumu a tri podkapitoly zistení spracovaných v tabuľkách a podrobne popísaných. Posledná časť monografie sa venuje prevencii a skupinovej práci. Dôležitou súčasťou sú aj prílohy, kde sa nachádza dotazníková batéria, program realizovaný na študentoch sociálnej práce a návrh programu pre pracovníkov v sociálnej oblasti.

Proceedings of the Scientific Conference. Košice, October 16-17, 2019

The proceedings titled "Ako sa píšu dejiny? Metódy – prístupy – pramene" present the contributions from the conference "Meeting of Young Historians IX," annually organized by the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, UPJŠ.

In the individual contributions, which span from the Middle Ages to the most recent history, the authors propose various theoretical and methodological research approaches to history, which currently represent fundamental prerequisites for historical research.

The ambition of the authors, as the next generation of historians, is not only to open up current questions of theoretical reflection in historiography but also to offer concrete examples supported by their own research.

The Foundation of the Faculty is a major “thing” created and developed by many personalities. The collected information, opinions, and critical judgements have led me to the conclusion that there exist among us plenty of narratives on the formation of this Faculty.

What is appealing about this fact is that from each party concerned, specifically teachers of Philosophy, Psychology and Education at the UPJŠ Faculty of Science, teachers of Psychology at the UPJŠ Faculty of Public Administration in Košice, teachers of the Department of Foreign Languages at UPJŠ, teachers at Prešov University who were approached with a bid to create the conditions of and opportunities for the development of their study branches at the new UPJŠ Faculty of Arts in Košice, there is a significant clue reflected in the inception of the new Faculty of this University.

It is necessary to say that it is a justifiable reflection, because without this, it would not be possible to develop exploration and offer the students courses in the field of Humanities, in social and behavioural sciences, educational sciences, and in the field of History and Ethnology.

The seventh volume of Doctoral Miscellanea was created in this year's specific research and educational situation, which predetermined its character as a non-conference collection.

The previous two editions continued the tradition of domestic scientific events (initially seminars, later conferences) at the Autumn School of Doctoral Students of the Faculty of Arts at UPJŠ in Košice, thereby creating an opportunity to verify more comprehensive scientific conclusions before a diverse audience, not only of experienced educators but also of researchers from their own generation. This phase was narrowed down to communication between the supervisor/reviewer and the doctoral student during the publication's creation. However, this did not automatically mean a less intense dialogue. Many contributions underwent interesting changes and variations.

The resulting studies reflect not only the degree of development of dissertation projects but often also the interest of young scientists in specific issues that have the potential for independent research. After all, they chose our domestic collection for testing their ideas.

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.

Zborník príspevkov z III. ročníka Vedeckej konferencie študentov a mladých vedeckých pracovníkov konanej 23. mája 2014 Katedrou politológie Filozofickej fakulty Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach

Dňa 23. mája 2014 sa na pôde Katedry politológie FF UPJŠ uskutočila konferencia pod názvom „Výzvy a prespektívy vnútornej a zahraničnej politiky“, ktorá bola v poradí už treťou Konferenciou študentov a mladých vedeckých pracovníkov organizovanou Katedrou politológie v spolupráci s OZ Res Publica. Na konferencii vystúpilo mnoho mladých ľudí zaujímajúcich sa o politické problémy súčasného sveta, pričom každý z nich svojím vystúpením nastolil jednu z tém týkajúcu sa domácej alebo zahraničnej politiky. Možno konštatovať, že tieto vystúpenia boli na vysokej odbornej úrovni a podnietili diskusiu o nastolených témach či problémoch.

Publikácia, ktorú držíte v rukách, je súborom odborných prác študentov a mladých odborníkov, ktorí sa venovali štúdiu viacerých tém. Niektorí autori sa venovali skôr otázkam zahraničnej politiky, predovšetkým analýze politík vybraných štátov (Slovenská republika, USA), riešili problematiku iránskeho jadrového programu či skúmali možnosti federalizácie Ukrajiny ako spôsobu riešenia vzniknutej situácie. Pohľad na problematiku zahraničnej politiky z pozície slovenských emigrantov v Austrálii priniesol ďalší z príspevkov.

Napriek širokému spektru tém, ktorým sa autori v jednotlivých príspevkoch venovali, je možné nájsť ich spoločného menovateľa, ktorým je snaha poukázať na určitý problém či navrhnúť jeho riešenie a tým jednak prispievať k napĺňaniu ideálu demokracie, k zlepšeniu fungovania a tvorby politiky, ale predovšetkým k tomu, aby bol tento svet lepším miestom pre život nás všetkých.

https://unibook.upjs.sk/en/filozoficka-fakulta/995-masa-halamova-in-the-dar-cerveny-mak-smrt-tvoju-zijem-triad.html

The first personal monograph, On the Lyrical Triptych of Maša Haľamová (Life and Work), by co-authors Ivica Hajdučeková and Iveta Bónová, presents the results of archival research and analytical-interpretative insights into the structure of poetic texts. Life events at key points (V znamení osmičiek, Domov na brehu jazera, V ruchu redakčnej práce, Fáza po Mladých letách) are reconstructed based on autobiographical memories, archival documents, personal correspondence, as well as unpublished or published articles and interviews. An intriguing perspective on the author´s work is offered by self-referential notes and a reconstruction of opinions on her poetics and the artistic value of her poetry from the years 1928 – 2017, as expressed by contemporary and modern literary critics. The reconstruction of the genesis of the poem Dar (Gift), which relates to her connections with A. Kostolný and E.B. Lukáč, revealed the underpinnings of poetic inspiration and confirmed the productivity of archival research and exegetical methods. The analytical-interpretative insight into lyrical triptych Dar – Červený mak – Smrť tvoju žijem, realized through a spectrum of differentiated spirituality and the method of hermeneutic reading with an emphasis on the function of polyvocality, demonstrated that meta-empirical reality is shaped through natural imagery and the function of allusion. Across the three poetry collections, the lyrical parable and the process of spiritualization or spiritual growth of the lyrical subject are depicted, emblemized by the red poppy, blooming limber pine, and flowering moss. In conjunction with the analysis of the rhythmic-melodic structure of free yet phonetically organized verse – utilizing not only the folkloric inspirations of folk songs and ballads but also the religious tradition of spiritual hymns, prayers, and psalms – which confirmed that the poet´s sense and sensitivity for the „colourfulness“ of sounds and the „melodiousness“ of tones contributed to the architectural formation of the final form. This form is inseparably infused with the meta-empirical dimension of spirituality (eisos – eidos – Logos).
