Sociálna práca so skupinou

Lucia Tóthová

Social work with a group, along with social work with individuals, social work with the community and social work with society, is one of the basic methods used in the field of social work, but also in other helping professions. The work of a social worker requires knowledge of these methods but also of the techniques through which these methods are implemented and fulfilled. Understanding and acquiring individual methods for the needs of social practice requires the theoretical mastery of those institutes that are the basis of the method and the interrelationships between these institutes. Therefore, the author proceeded to elaborate a university textbook in which she focuses on one of the basic methods of social work, namely social work with a group.

The university textbook is designed for university students who are focused on social work studies, but also psychology, ethics and other disciplines using the method of working with a group, as it aims to present some facts about social groups and behaviour in them.

The author offers an insight into social work with the group from its historical foundations to today's latest knowledge of this method in accordance with the latest research of work with the group.

The integration of immigrants into society is currently of interest to many professionals and to the general public. Immigration is a consequence of a variety of factors, mainly due to political, social, economic or security conditions in the countries of origin. Immigration is subsequently linked to the process of integrating immigrants into the host country. The integration of immigrants into society or integration, as this process is called in the monograph, is a complex phenomenon that extends to many spheres of everyday life for the citizens of the receiving country, and at the same time is often difficult for immigrants. Many governmental and non-governmental organizations are involved in the process of social integration of immigrants, who develop different strategies and mechanisms to streamline the outcome of this process.

In relation to immigrants, the Slovak Republic is bound to provide social and legal protection and therefore it is necessary to deal with the issue of social services, which could potentially significantly contribute to their social integration into Slovak society. From the legislative point of view, however, these services are unified and do not take into account the differences of immigrants resulting from their culture, religion, social, ethical or other characteristics. That is why the monograph focuses on social integration of immigrants in Slovakia in the context of provided social services.

Doktorandské miscelaneá 4

E-book

Lukáš Šutor (ed.)

Predkladaný zborník je pre mnohých doktorandov prvým vstupom do publikačného prostredia vedeckých žánrov. Štúdie v takýchto prípadoch obsahujú esencie budúcich dizertačných prác, ktoré predstavujú tvorivý vrchol doktorandského štúdia. Okrem možnosti publikovať vedecké výstupy pre doktorandov považujeme zborník aj za priestor stretávania sa rôznych odborov a ich vzájomného obohacovania. Interdisciplinarita však nie je menovateľom len zborníka ako celku, ale aj niektorých štúdií. Najvýraznejšie presahy sledujeme v odbore literárnej vedy. Tradičný predmet výskumu umeleckých textov sa v jednotlivých štúdiách obohacuje o rozmer skúmania divadelného a filmového diela (Peter Getlík), lingvistickej problematiky frazém (Ivana Hudiková), hudobného aspektu (Terézia Kulíková), výtvarného umenia (Dominika Petáková) a digitálneho priestoru nových médií (Alexandra Popovičová). Z ďalších odborov spomeňme štúdiu Miroslavy Süčovej Vernarskej, ktorá smeruje svoj výskum z oblasti psychológie do sociologických a lingvisticko-komunikačných kontextov (koncept metafory), či opačne, príspevok Zuzany Šoltésovej a Dušana Šlosára, skúmajúci psychologický fenomén porúch príjmu potravy z pozície ich vlastného vedeckého zázemia – sociálnej práce.

V obidvoch spomenutých odboroch nájdeme aj príspevky s tradičným predmetom výskumu. Nikola Fabiny z odboru psychológie analyzuje očakávania dôsledkov v kontexte výberu a dosahovania cieľa. Štúdia v dvojautorstve Jany Plavnickej a Dušana Šlosára z katedry sociálnej práce prezentuje z viacerých perspektív analýzu prekážok v integračnom procese imigrantov na Slovensku. V hraniciach vlastnej disciplíny sa pohybujú aj oba príspevky z oblasti filozofie. Juraj Brenišin interpretuje etický aspekt diela Fons vitæ novoplatonika Avicebrona a Michal Kručko predstavuje nedokončené dielo Edmunda Husserla z komparatívnej perspektívy jeho dvoch žiakov Jana Patočku a Romana Ingardena. Záverečná štúdia zborníka od Lukáša Lukačína (písaná v anglickom jazyku) sleduje sémanticko-gramatickú kategóriu modálnosti slovies MAY a CAN v právno-administratívnych dokumentoch Európske únie. Zastúpenie študijných odborov, ale aj individuálnych tvorivých výkonov doktorandov v zborníku Doktorandské miscelaneá 4 je teda podľa očakávaní pestré. Širšej akademickej obci predkladáme publikáciu ako reprezentatívny prehľad trendov v uvažovaní mladých vedcov naprieč spektrom humanitných a spoločenských odborov doktorandských študijných programov Filozofickej fakulty UPJŠ v Košiciach.

Július RozenfeldSlávka Tomaščíková

The academic textbook entitled “Developing Academic English in Speaking and Writing responds to the need identified by the authors in their own teaching practice to integrate the enhancement of the academic skills of speaking and writing into a single coherent approach. Using complex methodologies of academic speaking and academic writing, the authors offer practical guidelines on how to broaden students’ knowledge of the discourse of Academic English and how to improve their academic competencies and productive language skills in speaking and writing in English.

The textbook is designed for university students of English philology, students of literary and cultural studies focusing on Anglophone areas, students of English translation and interpretation study programmes, but also for students who study in English and who are expected to engage in scientific inquiry, document their research in Bachelor and Master theses or in doctoral dissertations written in English, and to present their work to their academic community.

Soňa Lovašová

Pred sebou máte učebnicu, ktorej cieľom je najmä priblížiť čitateľom problematiku metód, metodológie, metodiky a metodológie výskumu v sociálnej práci. Kniha je obsahovo rozdelená do štyroch celkov, ktorých usporiadanie má svoj význam. Ten spočíva najmä v obsahovej nadväznosti učebnice ako takej. Prvou časťou sú kapitoly, ktoré sa zaoberajú odbornou terminológiou, vývojom metodiky sociálnej práce a klasifikáciou metód. Druhú časť tvoria výskumné metódy sociálnej práce, kde autorka venuje priestor metodológii výskumu sociálnej práce. Cieľom týchto kapitol nie je predložiť čitateľovi metodologické minimum, len ho zorientovať v základných typoch výskumov a ukázať ako postupne, krok za krokom vytvoriť projekt výskumu. Tretia časť predstavuje prierez jednotlivými formami sociálnej práce: sociálnou prácou s jednotlivcom, rodinou, skupinou, komunitou a spoločnosťou. Každá z týchto kapitol obsahuje v úvode krátky historický vstup do problematiky. Poslednú časť učebnice predstavujú kapitoly o práci s agresiou v praxi sociálnej práce a jej rôznych podobách. Verím, že učebnica bude nápomocná študentom pri štúdiu a že svojou skladbou čitateľov osloví.

Úvod do dejín stredovekej židovskej filozofie

E-book

E-book

Mária Mičaninová

Učenci, ktorých diela tvoria stredovekú filozofiu, pôsobili ako teológovia, právnici, lekári, niekedy aj básnici. Nenájdeme medzi nimi snáď nikoho, koho by sme mohli označiť výlučne za filozofa.2 Pre teológov a (náboženských) právnikov bola určujúcim prameňom ich filozofovania Biblia alebo Korán. Tým druhým prameňom bolo filozofické dedičstvo predchádzajúceho staroveku, v ktorom dominovala postava Aristotela s jeho komentátormi. Peripatetické dedičstvo dopĺňali nasledovníci Platóna v dlhej línii tzv. novoplatónskej filozofie (napr. Plotinos, Iamblichos a Proklos), ktorá sa vo svojich počiatkoch rozvíjala v prostredí helenistických škôl. Preto neprekvapuje, že hlavným filozofickým problémom pre stredovekých učencov bol vzťah teológie a filozofie, resp. viery a rozumu, a na to nadväzujúci vzťah teológie a metafyziky. V prostredí kresťanského myslenia sa o ňom diskutovalo už v 2. storočí, keď niektorí Cirkevní otcovia spochybnili hodnotu sekulárneho učenia pre tých, ktorým bola pravda zjavená Bohom...

Extrémizmus a radikalizácia v sociálnych...

E-book

E-book

Vladimír LichnerDušan Šlosár et al.

It is very difficult to refer to any act of extremism or action having extremist characteristics, or to exclude it unambiguously. The boundary between extremism and accepted, conformal behavior is very broad and vaguely worded. Each company tends to set certain criteria to determine what can be considered as unwanted, violent, radical or extreme, or what signs of such a manifestation do not have. Therefore, when comparing the individual countries of the European Union in this area, we come across a different definition of what is or is not considered to be radical or extremist. In essence, the level of tolerance to some of the manifestations and the setting of indicators for the evaluation of the proceedings as extremist.

The presented monograph aims to present the basic social contexts of extremism and radicalization in the form of their philosophical and theoretical backgrounds, influencing the factors, the basic directions. In the author's work, the authors focus on the target group of adolescents, which they consider to be one of the most endangered groups in society in terms of development of the radicalization process. At the conclusion of the monograph is also offered the criminal level of these phenomena, which is not unavoidable in terms of complex analysis.

G. W. Leibniz - filozofia raného a stredného...

E-book

E-book

Martin Škára

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.

Filozofické dielo zakladateľa nemeckého klasického idealizmu Immanuela Kanta patrí k tým, ktoré je silou svojho teoretického odkazu permanentne inšpirujúce aj v súčasných dobových filozofických aktivitách. To je neodškriepiteľnou skutočnosťou, voči ktorej nemožno vážnejšie namietať. Dôkazom tejto skutočnosti sú aj filozofické učenia zakladateľa fenomenológie Edmunda Husserla, jeho pokračovateľa Martina Heideggera a tiež viacerých predstaviteľov analytickej filozofie. Uvedená skutočnosť priviedla autorov tejto práce k myšlienke, aby naznačenej problematike venovali samostatnú kolektívnu monografiu.

Peter Fedorčák

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.

Cez osamelosť k abstinencii: alebo prečo sú...

Ján KahanEva Žiaková

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.

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.

Milan Olejník

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.
