The main aim of the present work is to try to capture the decisive mode of Heidegger's philosophical understanding of the central problem of Greek philosophy, the problem of being, in the teachings of Anaximander, Heracleitus, Parmenides, Plato, and Aristotle. The authors of each section present their own understanding of Heidegger and his distinctive philosophical reception of Greek philosophy. In this context, it should be noted that the authors themselves sought their own point of view. With Heidegger's work in general, it is almost impossible to find the same interpretive consonance. This is also true for his reception of the Greek heritage. However, it is all the more professionally provoking for further philosophical investigations.

The primary aim of the presented monograph is to introduce Slovak readers to the current state of knowledge in the field of parental control psychology and its consequences for various aspects of adolescent development. Additionally, it seeks to present research findings obtained from a representative sample of Slovak adolescents in early adolescence. The topic of parental control has been marginally addressed in the Slovak context, primarily as part of studies on parenting styles, but a detailed analysis of its forms and consequences within the Slovak environment is lacking.

The monograph is divided into nine chapters, with the first seven being theoretical in nature: Chapter 1 focuses on specific aspects of the parent-adolescent relationship and describes changes that occur during adolescence. Chapter 2 introduces the construct of parental control, situating it within several social-personality theories and general parenting styles. Chapter 3 examines two fundamental forms of control: behavioral and psychological, as well as their interplay. Chapter 4 defines the concept of structure as one form of parental control. Chapter 5 summarizes current knowledge about gender differences in the application of parental control. Chapter 6 presents factors related to the application of control, including child-related, parent-related, and contextual factors. Chapter 7, concluding the theoretical section, discusses discrepancies in perceptions of control between adolescents and their parents.

The philosophical work of Immanuel Kant, the founder of German classical idealism, is one of those which, by the strength of its theoretical legacy, is permanently inspiring even in contemporary philosophical activities. This is an indisputable fact that cannot be seriously objected to. The philosophical teachings of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, his successor Martin Heidegger, as well as several representatives of analytic philosophy, are proof of this fact. The above fact led the authors of this work to the idea of devoting a separate collective monograph to the indicated problem.

Obdobie staršej dospelosti predstavuje dôležitú ľudskú skúsenosť. Poradenstvo môže prispieť k tomu, aby to bola formatívna a osobnosť rozvíjajúca skúsenosť. Poradenstvo chápeme ako takú aplikáciu osobnosti do oblasti jej konania, ktorá rozvíja jej bytie. Vychádzame z aplikácie vývinu do poradenstva a naväzujeme na prácu Úvod do poradenskej psychológie, ktorá bola publikovaná skôr. V týchto učebných textoch sme rozpracovali podrobnejšie kapitolu, poradenstvo starším dospelým. Publikovaná práca môže prispieť k porozumeniu a podpore tohto dôležitého obdobia v živote človeka.

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.

The present monograph titled Evolutionary Ethics: Selected Issues and Challenges discusses a range of problems, theoretical concepts, and beliefs from the perspective of evolutionary ethics. The term evolution has become one of the central terms in contemporary science and philosophy.

In social sciences in general, and in socio-biology and evolutionary psychology in particular, evolution has had great impact on our understanding of the genesis of culture. Evolutionary theories play a similar role within the theory of consciousness and of the mind (evolutionary epistemology). The interrelation between our evolutionary past and our sense of good and evil is also a subject of heightened interest in ethics; it has in fact become one of its challenges. The concept of evolution challenges the way we create thought patterns through which we understand, or hope to understand, ourselves and the world around us.

This monograph represents a general summary of selected issues in evolutionary ethics, touching upon various aspects of current research into evolutionary ethics and the related domains of evolution, science, ethics, and morals. Evolutionary ethics has become a project which presupposes that in order to understand the essence and basis of morals one must turn to the process of evolution of thought, and to the theories put forth by evolutionists, specifically evolutionary biologists.

The structure of this monograph, as well as its potential usefulness for research and education clearly show that the analysis of the problems discussed here has significant implications for domains far removed from the purely theoretical parts of moral philosophy or biology. The advantage of such discourse is that it enables the implementation of evolutionary ethics in social and ethical issues of public interest (for example Sex Literacy, Sex Education), and this should be recognised and welcome.

The central theme of the conference is violence in social work. Violence in social work appears in various forms, whether it involves working with clients who are victims of different types of violence or dealing with aggressive clients where the social worker themselves becomes the victim. Violence in society is rapidly increasing, and social work is a science that must necessarily adapt to society; this is its essence. Therefore, managing aggressive situations in any form is an important part of a social worker's personal skill set.

Unfortunately, protecting social workers from violence will gradually become a necessity, and in the future, we may not avoid training in self-defense and reducing aggression as part of professional preparation or lifelong education.

The aim of this collection is to present the issue of violence in social work from various perspectives to both the professional and lay public. We hope that this serious problem will receive increasing attention and that the individual contributions will help readers understand the extent of the problem of violence in social work.

Študentská vedecká konferencia je v rámci akreditovaných študijných programov Katedry histórie Filozofickej fakulty UPJŠ definovaná ako povinne voliteľný predmet. Po prvý krát bola na pôde katedry usporiadaná v roku 2011. Primárnym cieľom, tohto už tradičného podujatia, je prezentácia čiastkových výstupov študentského autorského výskumu, naviazaného predovšetkým na vybrané faktické časti či teoretické východiská bakalárskych a magisterských záverečných prác. Z toho vyplýva aj široké tematické spektrum vnútorného obsahu jednotlivých konferencií. Okrem udelenia kreditov za absolvovanie disponuje konferencia vo vzťahu k študentom celým radom pridaných hodnôt, ktorých sprostredkovanie možno chápať ako jej sekundárne ciele.

Študenti, ktorí sú na rôznych stupňoch ich študijného rastu, tak majú pri príprave svojich príspevkov možnosť intenzívnejšie spolupracovať so svojimi školiteľmi, v rámci konferencie prezentovať svoje poznatky pred širším auditóriom a v neposlednom rade, majú možnosť dostať spätnú väzbu od odbornej komisie tvorenej pedagógmi z Katedry histórie. Nemenej dôležité je tiež nadobudnutie schopností prezentovať „veľký“ text v limitovanom časovom úseku, vysporiadať sa s konštruktívnou kritikou a adekvátne na ňu reagovať či schopnosť adekvátne a pružne reagovať na otázky a podnety v otvorenej diskusii. Ako organizátori podujatia a zároveň vysokoškolskí pedagógovia považujeme za dôležité tieto schopnosti a kompetencie u študentov rozvíjať. Zároveň máme za to, že toto nadobudnuté poznanie môžu študenti pozitívne využiť vo svojej budúcej praxi a to či už ako profesionálni historici, alebo ako učitelia dejepisu.

Od roku 2011 sa študentská vedecká konferencia teší relatívne čulému záujmu čo dokladuje každoročný priemerný počet 10 až 15 prednášajúcich. Svoje príspevky v rámci 10 ročnej tradície podujatia predniesli aj študenti, ktorí v súčasnosti pôsobia ako úspešní doktorandi, vysokoškolskí tvoriví zamestnanci, výskumníci a učitelia dejepisu. Spomenúť možno napr. mená ako Dominika Kleinová (KKD UP), Vavrinec Žeňuch (IH FF PU), Katarína Lukáčová (KH FF UPJŠ), Peter Pavonič, Zuzana Janíková (KH FF UPJŠ), Oliver Zajac (HÚ SAV), Michal Mako (FF MUNI) či Miroslava Gallová a Patrícia Fogelová (SvÚ CSPV SAV v Košiciach).

Na tomto základe sme ako organizátori považovali za prínosné, aby sme „okrúhly“ ročník študentskej vedeckej konferencie kvalitatívne posunuli vyššie a dali možnosť študentom svoje príspevky publikovať. V rámci predkladaného zborníka je publikovaných 7 textov, z toho 4 z bakalárskeho a 3 z magisterského stupňa štúdia. Príspevky postihujú širšie spektrum, prevažne kultúrno-historických tém v časovom horizonte od raného stredoveku až po druhú polovicu 20. storočia, čo dokladá zároveň aj širokú paletu spracovávaných tém záverečných prác na katedre. V rámci bloku venovanému starším dejinám sú obsiahnuté príspevky od Kataríny Jurčovej, ktorá priblížila problematiku Ostrogótskych kráľov, Bc. Kristíny Laškotyovej s príklonom ku kultúrnohistorickej rovine románu Tristan a Izolda, Estery Pracuovej, ktorá sa venovala sonde do problematiky hrdelných trestov v stredoveku a rannom novoveku a Bc. Márie Rebičovej, ktorá priblížila problematiku kráľovských sobášov v Uhorsku počas neskorého stredoveku. Blok novších dejín zastupujú príspevky Bc. Samuela Filipa venované fenoménu vojnovej fotografie, Bc. Heleny Kuncovej, ktorá priblížila aplikáciu moderných marketingových postupov v automobilovej reklame medzivojnového obdobia a Bc. Moniky Tresovej, ktorá priblížila osobnosť Rudolfa Fibyho a jeho pôsobenie v kontexte samizdatovej činnosti v 80. rokoch 20. storočia.

Ako organizátori podujatia máme ambíciu, aby sa z publikovania zborníka stala rovnaká tradícia, ako sa stala zo samotnej študentskej vedeckej konferencie, pretože to považujeme vo vzťahu k práci s našimi študentmi za zmysluplné. V neposlednom rade je potrebné vysloviť poďakovanie nášmu kolegovi a priateľovi Mgr. Henrichovi Hrehorovi, PhD., ktorý bol od roku 2011 dlhodobo hlavným organizátorom a „duchovným otcom“ celého podujatia. Vďaka patrí aj vedúcemu katedry za každoročnú podporu a kolegom, ktorí sa ujali recenzovania príspevkov v rámci predkladaného zborníka.

The university textbook Ethics of Science and Technique (Selected Problems) is a collection of contributions by various authors who deal with selected problems and areas of science and technique. For the last hundred years, we can observe the rapid development of science and technique (technology). The transition of society in the 20th century into the information age and in the current 21st century into the digital age brings radical challenges and changes in all areas of human life, but especially in the moral field.

Ethical discussions, responding to the development of science and technique (technology), have stimulated the emergence of ethics of science and technique, which as a subdiscipline of applied ethics is a way out of the conflict between professional autonomy, social control and self-regulation of action and behaviour; not only in science and technique, but also in economy and politics. In the digital age, technique, technology and science are fundamentally changing our lives; from the way we work to the way we communicate, how we fight local and global problems, and how we try to solve societal problems.

These radical changes are not without controversy, and many provoke intense debates that are often polarized or associated with scientific ambiguities or dishonest demagoguery and ideology.

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.
