If we were to conduct a study on the popularity of subjects among social work students, the subjects of Research Methodology and Statistics would likely rank low on the list. It is precisely the lack of popularity of research methodology among students that led to the preparation of this textbook. The stylistic approach of this text was chosen with the intention of introducing the fundamentals of methodology to students encountering it for the first time, without alienating methodologists. The text primarily serves as a teaching aid for the course "Exercise in Research Methodology" and the seminars "Bachelor Thesis Seminar" and "Master's Thesis Seminar." Throughout the entire textbook, examples and case studies are interwoven and visually highlighted. The text endeavors to address the fundamental question that is key to motivating and understanding the essence of research methodology: why is research necessary for social workers? The aim of the textbook is to facilitate students' preparation for the Research Methodology course and to enhance their understanding of the basics of research methodology.

The following material has been created during the two years of teaching English for Chemists at the Faculty of Science of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University and is therefore designed to meet the needs of this course. The main motivation was the lack of appropriate materials, especially as the groups generally comprise students with a very diverse level of English. This diversity therefore became the main criterion determining both the form and the content of this text.

In the ten units that provide material for a one semester course, the emphasis is put on teaching the students vocabulary and terminology, which is introduced via authentic texts, depending on the topic of each unit. Students are encouraged to learn the meaning of new words in context. Grammar is included too, with the aim of demonstrating and explaining grammatical rules by means of examples taken directly from the texts. For the more advanced students, grammatical exercises in this material can serve for revision while the beginners might need more supplementary materials.

I hope that this material, the preparation of which has been a challenging as well as enjoyable experience will be useful for future teachers and the students of this course.

On June 8 and 9, 2023, the 22nd edition of the Psychology of Work and Organization conference took place at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Pavel Jozef Šafárik in Košice. The conference program was divided into six blocks and one poster section and supplemented by three invited lectures. This collection contains selected contributions from this conference, with contributions in English first, then in Slovak. The variety of contributions reflects the variety of topics in the field of work and organizational psychology, with the most represented topics being the quality of life and work load, aspects of the work of a school psychologist, factors affecting the achievement of work goals in emerging adulthood, and the presentation of new measures with possible application in the work environment.

The current time is fast, hasty, with strongly asserted women's emancipation, absorbed by information and communication technologies that overcome distances but create them at the same time. The lifestyle of humans is changing, many diseases are on the rise, and cancer is becoming a "trend of the present". Claims on man, and especially on women, are now too great. Women perform multiple roles and perform many tasks. They become caregiving mothers, understanding and surrendered wives, workers with professionalism and flexibility, and idols the myth of beauty too. Due to the overlapping of the traditional gender division of labor, the life of women takes place on several levels. Their work day does not end when they leave the job, but they continue to care for their household and their own family. Besides all, they strive to fulfill not only personal expectations, but also the expectations of the family, social environment and society, reject failure and strive for perfectionism.

In our lives, situations that affect and burden us more or less appear. Even though we can not in control everything and everyone, we are able to control situations that are of direct concern to us. In life, we encounter problems in employment, financial problems, illness or death of near. As well as negative, also positive situations affect us. Each responds to each situation different ways.

Monograph is one of the ways in which we aim to draw attention to the so "C-coping style" as a maladaptive way of managing the burden that is typical of oncological ill patients. It is one of the possible concepts that affect the manifestation of breast cancer. Based on this, we have focused on the used coping strategies and we consider the life events to be a significant burden in the lives of cancer patients. The research is aimed at synthesizing the life events and the coping strategies used to coping them, conceived as a risk behavior of patients with breast cancer. As the coping of the burden can be different between men and women, the monograph is intended predominantly for women, to which we have also focused in realized research. They can be patients with oncological diagnosis, but also women who want to prevent this disease by use effective coping life events. We also believe that the monograph will enrich everyone who is interested in the same target group.

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.

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.

The textbook is addressed to up-and-coming media staffers and teachers of Slovak language, a target group which will be a prospective model for common users in their language behaviour. It poses an educational project that points out to the correlation of standard language and language (primarily orthoepical) norm.

The publication is structured in the way that after the explanation of the given orthoepical problem on the segmenal level (in correspondence with the valid orthoepical norm anchored in Rules of Slovak Orthoepy by Á. Kráľ, 2005, 2009), there follow exercises with an aim to know and practically apply presented norms as standardised acoustic forms. However, considering the natural (not artificial) language and the real (not absolutely ideal) norm, under the exercises we give sociolinguistically oriented topics and tasks for discussion (sometimes also with references to specialist sources) with an aim to draw the listeners’ attention to the current state of live, phonically realised language, or to possible solutions that functionally correspond to the interests and needs of lanugage community and are not in contradiction with internal language rules at the same time. An explanation of particular orthopeic phenomena on the segmental level is closed not only with exercices and topics for discussion but also with a short test in which students can individually verify their special competences in connection to speech practise.
