Cognitive neuroscience is a fast developing scientific field which aims at uncovering the neural basis of human perception and cognition. To achieve this goal, cognitive neuroscience uses a variety of tools and approaches ranging from non-invasive brain imaging to psychophysics and neural modeling. Mastering such tools requires skills and knowledge from multiple scientific domains, including neurophysiology, cognitive psychology, and several computational fields.

Over the past several decades, significant advances have been made in particular in the imaging and computational fields, providing us with large amounts of data about the brain function, with tools to analyze them, and, in turn, with a multitude of new advances in our understanding of the neural information processing. This proceedings provides a snapshot of our current knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, focusing on the mechanisms of auditory and cross-modal perception. It contains a collection of introductory lectures, research talks, and lab assignments prepared by invited experts in this field for two editions of a workshop and lecture series on “Cognitive neuroscience of auditory and cross-modal perception” that took place in Košice in 2014 and 2015. It is aimed at students and early-stage researchers interested in obtaining an overview of the basic knowledge, current research questions, and methods used in auditory and cross-modal perceptual research.
Each invited expert prepared one introductory lecture providing overview of his/her expertise, one advanced lecture on a current research topic, and an assignment related to his/her research. These teaching materials are provided in the first two parts of the proceedings. The third part provides abstracts of contributed presentations by the workshop participants. In addition, the accompanying CD and web provides the code and/or data of the assignments. The lectures only contain slides of the individual talks, and thus only provide an outline of the research topics and cannot be used as a textbook. For a reader interested in working on an assignment it is useful to first read through the corresponding lectures by the same author which contain a broader introduction to the selected problem. Most of the assignments code is in MATLAB and requires basic familiarity with this environment.
Additional information about this proceedings is available at http://pcl.upjs.sk/workshopcdand https://sites.google.com/site/kogneuro/. We hope that this collection of lectures and assignments will find its excited readers and that it will provide an introduction that will be as enjoyable as the workshops were for the experts and the participants. And, we will be looking forward to meet some of the readers at future editions of the workshop.

An enormous progress in computer technology, closely linked with advances in computational chemistry, has enabled the user to exploit the principles of quantum chemistry to elucidate the chemical phenomena. Computational chemistry is the branch of science that requires, except an academic knowledge, software skills to fully exploit a potential of theoretical methods. The aim of this textbook is to help the user take the legendary first step in the field of computational chemistry to opening a new horizon of knowledge.
University textbooks present the basics of knowledge systems, which are divided into two parts. The first part of the publication is devoted to the basis of Formal Concept Analysis, ie the method of data analysis, knowledge representation and information processing, which is based on the formalization of the concept. In the second part we deal with the basics of logic programming, procedural semantics of logic programming, ie programs - theories, questions, SLD-derivation, SLD-tree, search strategies.
University textbooks are intended for students of master's degree programs in computer science.

Pre informatikov je neustálou výzvou hl’adat’ efektívne algoritmy, prípadne rôzne technické a implementačné možnosti vylepšenia výpočtovej zložitosti v súčasnosti známych algoritmov. Čiastočné riešenia ponúkajú napr. gridové prístupy a paralelizácia výpočtu. Vel’kým, ale zatial’ nenaplneným prísl’ubom, sú kvantové počítače. Z teoretického hl’adiska vel’mi dobré riešenia ponúkajú pravdepodobnostné a aproximačné prístupy. A práve nimi sa chceme podrobnejšie zaoberat’.

Zborník abstraktov z vedeckej konferencie s medzinárodnou účasťou organizovanej ku 50. výročiu založenia Katedry organickej chémie PF UPJŠ v Košiciach, konanej v dňoch 08-10.06.2016 v Košiciach.
The university textbook "Advanced Electrochemical Methods" is a teaching aid intended for master's or doctoral students studying electrochemical subjects at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. These textbooks follow and further develop textbooks focused on the basic electrochemical methods currently used in modern research. The presented teaching texts are processed in sixteen clear chapters, where they provide a theoretical principle and derivation of electrochemical processes and mechanisms in individual methods. Teaching texts also consist of practical laboratory exercises, in which students can try out the real application of the studied electrochemical methods. The practical tasks are focused primarily on the demonstration of research that is carried out at our workplace. Students will be able to try, for example, electrochemical modification of the electrode surface, preparation of electrochemical sensors for the determination of analytes, preparation and characterization of a dye-sensitized solar cell or electrochemical evolution of hydrogen.

All contributions are professionally processed and inspiring.
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.
Táto publikácia je určená pre študentov nematematických odborov na Prírodovedeckej fakulte UPJŠ v Košiciach. Jej obsahom je látka preberaná v prvom semestri v rámci predmetu Matematika I..
Publikácia nadväzuje na učivo stredných škôl a nevyžaduje žiadne predbežné špeciálne znalosti. Môže slúžiť ako základ na ďalšie samostatné štúdium a môže byť užitočná aj pre iných záujemcov o matematiku a jej aplikácie.
Vyriešené príklady v jednotlivých kapitolách majú pomôcť čitateľovi pri zvládnutí štúdia. Tomu napomáhajú aj ilustratívne obrázky.
Učebný text je primárne určený pre študentov jednoodborového štúdia biológie a všeobecnej ekológie, ako aj odborom učiteľského štúdia v rôznych kombináciách s biológiou. Venuje sa v nich opisu jednotlivých skupín živočíchov, ich morfológiu a anatómiu ilustruje na obrazových materiáloch. K jednotlivým morfologickým a anatomickým štruktúram sa v texte nevyjadrujeme podrobnejšie, nakoľko text nadväzuje na predmet Porovnávacia morfológia živočíchov, kde na úrovni organológie boli tieto najvýznamnejšie štruktúry v rámci prednášok a cvičení detailne vysvetlené a opísané. Rozsah učebného textu nie je veľký, podávame v ňom základné minimum poznatkov, čo je podmienené jednak rozsahom predmetu, ktorý je len jednosemestrový, jednak tým, že ďalšie, špecializované predmety rozširujú spektrum poznatkov napr. na úrovni entomológie, hydrobiológie alebo pôdnej biológie. V zavere niektorých kapitol formulujeme niekoľko cvičných otázok, ktoré si študenti môžu na základe predchádzajúceho textu zodpovedať, s podobnými otázkami sa totiž môžu stretnúť na skúške alebo na štátniciach.
