The structure of the animal body is extremely varied. Each species has its distinctive morphological features, which bears as a testimony to long-term development and belonging to the developmental lineage. At the same time, the body has been tested for a long time by natural conditions, resulting in unique adaptations to the environment and life strategy. Despite this admirable variety - which includes both recent and fossil animals and which we have far from mapped – a comparison of body parts brings knowledge we can generalize: the main building principles, and boundaries within which phenotypic diversity is realized. Comparative animal morphology today uses the latest methodological material and knowledge from other disciplines, from genetics, molecular biology and experimental embryology, through progressive imaging methods (e.g. electron microscopy, computer micro-tomography) and the possibilities of subsequent software processing of image material (measurement, staining, etc.) to the view of physics, chemistry, statics and geometry on the structures (to nanostructures) of the living body. Detailed knowledge of historical and contemporary conditions on Earth is an important interpretative context in the study of animal morphology. Surprisingly, the knowledge accumulated after centuries of research is now rapidly supplemented by new knowledge, and often the traditional knowledge is subsequently reinterpreted. Finally, and no less important, in studying animal (and human) morphology, we learn surprising knowledge about ourselves. The author of the presented textbook had the ambition in a simplified form to introduce the reader, especially the student of biological studies, into a dynamic and fascinating scientific discipline, as the current comparative animal morphology is.

Selected tasks and problems from biochemistry – metabolism follow biochemistry lectures on metabolism and individual metabolic pathways for students of the second and third year of the bachelor’s degree in the fields of chemistry, biology and their combinations with other fields. Scripts provide an opportunity to better understand the lectured subject matter of metabolism through the solution of tasks and problems as serve as a basis for one-hour exercises. The scripts are divided thematically into eleven chapters, and each chapter contains 10 tasks and 7 problems. At the beginning of the chapters there is a short description and explanation of the given metabolic pathway. However, when solving the tasks, the student must focus mainly on the curriculum that was presented on the given topic in the lecture. Subsequently, at the end of chapter, answers to problems are also presented. These scripts are intentionally accessible only in electronic form. The reason is the effort to continuously update and modernize individual tasks.

An important part of theoretical computer science is the problem of Turing machines. This computational model has two basic properties: like any other computational program, the software of a Turing machine is composed of instructions, but in its case they are all of a single type. Every other (so far known) computer program can be transformed into a Turing machine program without loss of information. While the second feature reduces the question of what a calculator cannot do to the question of what a Turing machine cannot do, the first feature allows a much simpler investigation of such a question. Using this computational model, we can thus find concrete problems that no automaton can ever deal with (perhaps the most famous is the problem of the Turing machine stopping). Their existence demonstrates the fundamental limitations of (not only ideal) computational means, and thus encourages both criticality and humility in our thinking.

Zborník obsahuje abstrakty príspevky účastníkov Študentskej vedeckej konferencie PF UPJŠ v Košiciach, ktorá sa konala 22. apríla 2015.

Milí študenti, kolegyne a kolegovia! Už po tretí krát vychádza zborník zo Študentskej vedeckej konferencie (ŠVK) na Prírodovedeckej fakulte Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach, ktorý práve čítate. ŠVK sa teší dlhodobej obľube medzi študentmi a učiteľmi fakulty a teší nás, že ináč to nebolo ani v tomto roku, keď bolo do ŠVK prihlásených 128 príspevkov. Príspevky boli zaradené do 19 sekcií, ktoré navyše dopĺňala otvorená súťaž v programovaní a finále súťaže IHRA. Vystúpenie na ŠVK je pre mnohých študentov aj jednou z prvých príležitostí na získanie skúseností s prezentáciou svojich výsledkov pred odborným publikom. Ak si uvedomíme počet prihlásených príspevkov, pripočítame k nim členov odborných porôt z radov učiteľov fakulty ako aj divákov, ktorí sa prišli podporiť svojich spolužiakov na vystúpeniach, je ŠVK podujatím, keď sa v jednom čase a na jednom mieste stretáva veľká časť študentskej a akademickej obce fakulty. Mnohé abstrakty príspevkov prezentované v tomto zborníku vznikli v rámci práce študentov na čiastkových úlohách, ktoré sú súčasťou výskumných zámerov na ústavoch PF UPJŠ. Abstrakty príspevkov predstavujú svojim spôsobom prehľad výskumných tém na jednotlivých pracoviskách PF UPJŠ. Zborník z ŠVK je tak dobrým nástrojom, ktorý môžu použiť študenti a učitelia fakulty na jej prezentáciu smerom navonok, k partnerom, zamestnávateľom, potenciálnym spolupracovníkom. O spoluprácu pri organizovaní ŠVK už dlhšie prejavujú záujem aj partneri z praxe. Od roku 2005 udeľuje zoskupenie IT spoločností Cenu za najoriginálnejšiu prácu a Cenu za prácu s najlepšími vyhliadkami na praktické využitie. V roku 2015 bola po prvýkrát otvorená sekcia, s názvom „Predstav svoj nápad!“, založená na myšlienke start-up projektov. Do sekcie boli prihlásené tri príspevky, kde študenti predstavili svoje nápady s potenciálnym využitím v praxi. Ich zámery boli hodnotené úspešnými manažérmi zo spoločností GlobalLogic, Košice IT Valley a AmCham, EXIsport, Investeers, KPMG. Vystúpenie študentov pred porotou, jej komentáre a návrhy boli veľkou devízou a skúsenosťou, ktorú naši potenciálni „start-up-isti“ získali. Vyhlásenie výsledkov ŠVK prebieha od roku 2013 v areáli na Šrobárovej ulici a je sprevádzané s ďalšími akciami ScienceFestu ako sú ŠTRK a Karaoke show. Ukazuje sa, že tento formát vyhlásenia výsledkov si nachádza medzi študentmi a učiteľmi čoraz väčšiu obľubu. Na vyhlásení výsledkov boli ocenené príspevky, ktoré odborné poroty vyhodnotili ako v jednotlivých sekciách ako najlepšie. Samozrejme, nie všetci účastníci ŠVK sa mohli dostať medzi laureátov. Avšak všetci účastníci ŠVK sa môžu považovať v istom zmysle za víťazov, lebo urobili niečo pre rozvoj svojej osobnosti, investovali do svojho vzdelania a prispeli k zveľaďovaniu a rozširovaniu poznania v oblasti prírodných vied, matematiky a informatiky.

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon. Organic compounds in the form of large molecules (macromolecules), such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the basic elements of living organisms. This study material is created for non-chemistry students, especially students of biology. Most of these students have little or no knowledge of organic chemistry. Therefore, we proceed from the basic principles of organic chemistry to biochemistry.

The basic principles of organic chemistry and biochemistry are briefly summarized in individual chapters, but the main content consists of tasks for practising basic knowledge. To check the correctness of solving the tasks, the correct solutions are also given. The importance of this study material lies in the fact that students will get additional study material that they will use in studying the subject Basics of Chemistry.

Flow cytometry is a diagnostic and research technique that enables rapid analysis of cells, nuclei and organelles of plants and other organisms. In plant biology, it is most often used for DNA content analysis in a wide range of applications. It is the method of first choice and its importance is even increasing compared to competing technologies. It is unrivaled in speed, accuracy, repeatability and low cost. Flow cytometry has become a standard tool in laboratories focused on biological-ecological plant research. This textbook provides information on the historical development of flow cytometry and its establishment in the analysis of the plant genome. It describes the procedure of sample analysis to determine the nuclear DNA content and presents the basic applications, such as determination of genome size, ploidy level and reproduction modes of plants and determination of endopolyploidy level in plant tissues. These college textbooks are intended for students, teachers and anyone interested in the use of flow cytometry in scientific work with plant cells.

The university textbook deals with the latest knowledge from the systematics of vascular plants in a clear manner. Vascular plants arose in the Silurian period in the Paleozoic, when the first primitive plants moved from water to dry land, which required evolutionary progress in the morphological and anatomical structure of these plants. During about 420 million years of the existence of vascular plants, several of their main groups have evolved: the spore vascular plants, including the lycopods (branch Lycopodiophyta) and group of ferns and related plants (branch Monilophyta), and the seed plants, including gymnosperms (branch Gymnospermae) and angiosperms ( Angiospermae), which currently dominate among plants. The textbook provides a brief but comprehensive overview of the main groups, orders and families of plants with their description, distribution, main representatives, while also addressing the useful properties of selected species. The work is complemented by an overview of the system of plants by Cronquist, Tachtadžjan, APG and an overview of the families of the Slovak flora, as well as a taxonomic index.
