The presented university textbook is a reaction to two fundamental shortcomings. The first one is the absence of a similar, if not equivalent, textbook in the Slovak university environment. The second shortcoming is the mistake that Leibniz's philosophy is a system called monadology.

The presented textbook corrects this mistake and at the same time fills the gap of the absence of this kind of textbook with a Leibniz subject. For the above reasons, the presented textbook brings a new perspective on the philosophy of G. W. Leibniz, especially in the period of early philosophical beginnings with an overlap into the so-called Paris period and the De summa rerum period up to the first philosophical doctrinal formulation expressed in the Discours de métaphysique (Winter 1685-1686). The textbook is conceived as a selection of sections of source texts translated by the author of the textbook from French and partly from Latin and equipped with comments accessible to the target audience.

It is therefore the author's wish that this textbook not only serve as a form of correction for the misinterpretation of Leibniz's philosophy, but as an inspiring text that will introduce the reader to the world of Leibniz's philosophy in its undistorted light.

The textbook is primarily intended for students of teaching academic subjects, but it will enrich anyone who needs to familiarize themselves with research methodology focusing on psychological and educational sciences. In the textbook, students become acquainted with the basic principles of conducting research, the process of research implementation, and the basic methods of quantitative or qualitative approaches.

The examples used in the textbook are mostly focused on research conducted in a school environment. By acquiring the basic knowledge presented in the textbook, the reader will be able to conduct simple research in school conditions. At the same time, understanding the principles of research methodology helps with the critical evaluation of information from various sources.

The second, expanded edition has been extended by three chapters, focusing on conducting research directly during the teaching process in the form of teacher action research, on the possibilities of evaluating preventive programs, and the final chapter deals with the possibilities of publishing research.

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.

Dejiny antického Grécka a Ríma sú kulmináciou úspechov, ktoré dosiahli staroveké civilizácie v politickej, hospodárskej a spoločenskej sfére, v poznaní človeka a sveta a v umení. Gréci ako prví v dejinách ľudstva dokázali vytvoriť systém, v ktorom určitá časť spoločnosti – plnoprávni občania, mala možnosť slobodne rozhodovať o politickom a dianí, mohli voliť a byť zvolení do úradov rámci daného politického systému a mali právo diskutovať o otázkach dotýkajúcich sa života komunity. Vysoký stupeň vzdelanosti a hľadanie racionálneho vysvetlenia prírodných javov, umožnili Grékom dosiahnuť úroveň poznania, ku ktorej sa európske národy dopracovali až v novoveku. Úspechy Grékov v sochárstve, architektúre i v literatúre sú dodnes inšpiráciou. Napriek odstupu viac než dvoch tisícročí sú nám svojim myslením a konaním blízki, rozumieme ich víťazstvám i porážkam a sú v mnohom zdrojom poučenia aj dnes.
Demokracia bola určujúcim princípom aj Rímskej republiky a významným predpokladom úspechu Ríma v zápolení vládu nad Itáliou a postupne celým Stredomorím. I keď vznik Rímskej ríše možno charakterizovať ako výsledok dobyvačných vojen, Rimania dokázali integrovať odlišné kultúry a pretvoriť komunity, ktoré sa nachádzali na rôznom stupni vývoja do spoločenstva národov, založeného na unifikovanom hospodárskom a právnom základe, umožňujúcom slobodu pohybu a výmenu ideí v Stredomorí i za jeho hranicami. Práca je koncipovaná ako učebná pomôcka, ktorá prístupnou formou poskytuje informácie o zlomových udalostiach dejín antického Grécka a Ríma. Pozornosť je venovaná aj stručnej charakteristike významných osobností a ich miesta v historickom dianí. V základných rysoch je načrtnutý hospodársky vývoj antickej spoločnosti a faktory ktoré ho podmieňovali. V závere sú analyzované príčiny úpadku a zániku Rímskeho impéria. Práca je doplnená zoznamom literatúry, ktorá je dostupná v Štátnej vedeckej knižnici v Košiciach a na Katedre dejín FF UPJŠ. V zozname literatúry sú uvedené aj internetové zdroje.

English in the Academic Environment is intended primarily for those interested in improving their academic English and is primarily designed to fulfill the needs of university students and teachers who use English in their studies, in their work activities, and in their communication with foreign colleagues and professionals.

The publication offers selected phrases and sentence structures from the field of academic English, gives practical examples of the use of nominal, verbal and prepositional phrases, free and established collocations, idiomatic expressions, including translations of some selected phrases. It also highlights some common mistakes in the use of English in an academic environment, which are a manifestation of incorrect or insufficiently acquired linguistic resources and, last but not least, a consequence of the linguistic influence of Slovak.

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.

An integral part of the process of becoming a teacher is the mentoring of student teachers by mentor teachers, serving as guidance and support for future teachers. Developing mentoring skills and fostering reflective mentoring practices are means of enhancing the practical training of student teachers, their professional development, and improving the quality of their future educational practice. The foundation of the mentoring relationship between the mentor teacher as a mentor and the student teacher as a mentee is not to evaluate the student, but to analyse their learning and teaching and contemplate ways to enhance these processes. The university textbook represents a creative textual tool focused on innovations in strategies for supporting the development of mentoring abilities in mentors and mentees during professional practical training. This university textbook, intended for student teachers in the role of mentees and mentor teachers in the role of mentors, systematizes the theoretical foundations of mentoring, provides guidance and directives for mentoring in professional practical training. Furthermore, it offers the university teacher, in the role of supervising the student's teaching practice, an overview of techniques and methods pertaining to the mentoring relationship between mentor and mentee. It is applicable as a university textbook for student teachers, students pursuing supplementary pedagogical studies or advanced studies, as well as for mentor teachers in primary and secondary schools, and university educators involved in professional practical training. Its English version provides opportunities for utilization during study stays of student teachers abroad and for foreign students in Slovakia.

II.časť: Komparácia, klasifikácia a generalizácia spoločných prvkov činnosti

Cieľom monografie bolo analyzovať pedagogické možnosti výchovných systémov detských a mládežníckych organizácií s dôrazom na tie, ktoré sa zameriavajú na vekovú kategóriu detí do 15 rokov. Východiskom bol rozbor aktuálneho stavu teórie a praxe detskej a mládežníckej organizácie so snahou opísať prevládajúce trendy v jej vývine a činnosti. Táto publikácia úzko nadväzuje na predchádzajúcu monografiu (Juščák, J. – Darák, M.: 2015), kde sme spracovali podľa jednotnej metodiky a s využitím všeobecne akceptovanej pedagogickej terminológie zhromaždené dostupné materiály o výchovných systémoch vybraných (najreprezentatívnejších) detských a mládežníckych organizácií v SR. Nasledujúcou komparáciou získaných empirických dát o výchovných systémoch sme sa snažili dospieť k identifikácii ich podobných (rovnakých) i špecifických (odlišných) prvkov ako základu na stanovenie kategorizačných kritérií ich klasifikácie. Vyústením celej našej snahy bol pokus o charakteristiku detskej organizácie ako výchovnej inštitúcie s opisom jej charakteristických znakov, funkcií, cieľov, obsahu, zásad a metodiky výchovy.

The monograph provides a brief insight into the theory of news structures in the press and, consequently, the theoretical framework of critical discourse analysis is applied in an examination of the structures of news. Critical discourse analysis following the theory and methodology of Teun van Dijk is used to analyse the representation of an industrial dispute, the Miners’ Strike of 1984-1985 in the UK, in the Czechoslovak newspaper Pravda.

The aim of the monograph is to examine the ways in which a single news item dealing with an international event was presented in a national newspaper based on its ideological perspective. The presented analysis does not cover all possible aspects of van Dijk’s approach of critical discourse analysis. A variety of issues remains to be explored in order to develop a richer, more complex analysis of the text structures. The monograph also intends to demonstrate that critical discourse analysis can complement more qualitatively the traditional method of quantitative content analysis.
