Overview of the Issue and Meta-Analysis of Conducted Research.

The publication focuses on two key constructs – time perspective and goal achievement. After describing both constructs, the authors focused on potential connections that can be found at multiple levels of analysis. For the purpose of empirical verification, they conducted a small-scale meta-analysis synthesizing results across eleven studies. The obtained results highlighted the role of time perspective in selected aspects of goal achievement. The publication is intended to serve as a catalyst for further consideration of the issue, thereby encouraging research aimed at verifying how the acquired knowledge can be expanded to improve the quality of our daily lives in the context of cultivating our approach to time.

Zborník príspevkov z medzinárodného vedeckého kolokvia Ľudová rozprávka súvislostiach (12. decembra 2022 v Košiciach)

Zborník príspevkov Ľudová rozprávka v súvislostiach predkladáme odbornej verejnosti ako výstup z rovnomenného medzinárodného vedeckého kolokvia, ktoré sa uskutočnilo 12. decembra 2022. Naším cieľom bolo aj touto cestou otvoriť diskusiu o slovesnom folklóre v širších interpretačných, transkultúrnych a v konečnom dôsledku aj medziodborových kontextoch ‒ čo sa podarilo naplniť najmä v poslednom bode. Aj keď prispievatelia východiskovo pôsobia v odboroch folkloristiky a literárnej vedy, ich metodologický záber z iných ‒ niekedy aj vzdialenejších ‒ disciplín roztvára aktuálny diskurz do pozoruhodnej šírky. Je to dôkaz, že výskum ľudovej rozprávky je naďalej živý a prístupný novým výzvam.

The university textbook "Lingua Latina – Exercise Book for Philosophers" is a parallel study material to the textbook "Lingua Latina – Cursus Communis." It is designed for practicing grammatical lessons at home. The content of the exercises corresponds to the focus of each lesson in the mentioned textbook, both in terms of the covered grammatical phenomena and vocabulary. For this reason, only vocabulary not included in the lessons of the textbook is presented in the exercises.

The Latin-Slovak dictionary at the end of the exercise book contains the entire vocabulary from both the exercise book and the textbook, while the Slovak-Latin dictionary includes the vocabulary from exercises that require translation into Latin. The vocabulary in this exercise book is oriented towards the needs of philosophy students 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 exercise book includes a key that allows students to directly verify the correctness of their work. The textbook "Lingua Latina – Exercise Book for Philosophers" is available electronically in PDF format. As part of the educational program, online tests available on the website of the Department of Classical Philology at the Faculty of Arts, UPJŠ (https://www.upjs.sk/filozoficka-fakulta/katedra-klasickejfilologie/katedra/) also serve to practice the covered material.

The submitted monograph, "Colloquial Lexemes in Journalistic Texts," presents an original perspective on the analysis and description of lexical and grammatical expressive means in the examined communication field.

The main research problem is the colloquialization of expressive means as a marked feature in publicly published journalistic texts. The starting point of the research itself was the search for lexical units with the stylistic qualifier of colloquiality in the "Short Dictionary of the Slovak Language." Their presence and frequency, as well as any potential shifts in meaning, were verified in publicly accessible media communications.

Since this is research into "living language," the source material consists of journalistic texts in the Slovak National Corpus database.

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.

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 offers a view of the family in social contexts. It deals with the basic characteristics of the family, the life cycle of the family from the choice of partner, through the arrival of children in the family to the end of the family. During its duration, the family performs various functions. A functional family is ideal for a harmonious relationship between partners and a suitable environment for raising children.

However, a number of factors enter the life of the family, which directly or indirectly affect the performance of these functions and can cause various disorders. It is here that the task of social work is to offer help to families to cope with their big and small problems. A specific feature of social work is the focus on the whole and a comprehensive assessment of the family, where it is necessary to take into account both the client's point of view and the aspect of the environment in which he lives and which constantly affects him. Therefore, the university textbook offers procedures for social work with the family, from the assessment of the life situation, through the plan of work with the family to social intervention.

The university textbook is intended for students of social work, who have the opportunity to practice complex issues within the assessment of the case through the enclosed case studies.

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.

Reflection of technics  is about as old as philosophy. In the presented monograph the author reflects technology and technology as a medium of everyday life.

Every technical change is reflected in countless levels of our lives: environmental, economic, political, cultural and personal. The moral-philosophical reflection of technics and  technology aims to understand the complex relationships and effects of technology on the environment, society, culture and our existence. Knowledge (whose scientific knowledge is a special type) is part of the social and technical domains. If we perceive social and technical domains as separate, we deny their functioning as an integral part of our existence.

Speaking of 'new ecology of technology and technology'  the term ecology symbolizes the new existing disorder and 'cross-border' in the field of technology and technology reflection as a result of their revolutionary and far-reaching changes, and social change is unpredictable - all the more because technics and technology is the medium of everyday life and determines the future of the human species.

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.
