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.

Textbook Automation of Laboratory Experiments in LabVIEW environment is devoted to the basics of graphical programming and shows the way how to communicate with measuring equipment and Arduino development boards in LabVIEW. The basic concepts of creating a virtual instrument and its interactive user environment are introduced. Three physical tasks are presented, the practical implementation of which takes place with the use appropriate instrumentation and LabVIEW. Practical tasks are dedicated to measuring the transmission characteristics of a low-pass RC filter, measuring the natural resonant frequency of a quartz tuning fork using the heterodyne pulse method, and mapping the magnetic field of a permanent magnet using Arduino.

The presented scripts were created in an effort to update and especially clarify the tasks that are solved in the basic practical exercises in biochemistry students of the 2nd and 3rd year of the bachelor's degree in chemistry, biology and their combinations with other disciplines. Most of the tasks come from the original scripts "Podhradský, Mihalovová: Praktické cvičenia z biochémie, Košice 1989". Some of them have been modified to a greater or lesser extent and adapted to current conditions in the laboratory. New tasks were also added, such as those dedicated to nucleic acids. The scripts are thematically divided into six separate units, each of which consists of several tasks. The names of the units correspond to the nature of the biomacromolecules, which form their central theme. Theoretical introductions at the beginning of the unit are newly constructed and their main goal is to provide a brief overview of the basic biochemical methods used in the study of biomacromolecules. These scripts are intentionally only available in electronic form. The reason is the effort to continuously update and modernize individual tasks according to the changing possibilities of our laboratory. We hope that the scripts will fulfill their role and that students will have sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of basic biochemical methods after completing these laboratory exercises.

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.

In university textbooks, we present the history of data science, basic concepts in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or deep learning. We describe the relationships between data science and other disciplines and summarize the tasks of the data scientist. We present an overview of university subjects in the field of data science, which were created and innovated at Slovak universities within the national project IT Academy - Education for the 21st Century. We present extended subject annotations, application examples and case studies using various methods in the field of data science. University textbooks are intended for students of bachelor's, master's, engineering and doctoral study programs in computer science, but also in non-informatics fields.

Tieto učebné texty sa snažia podať základné informácie o biogeografických problémoch z pohľadu geografického t. j. pohľadu orientujúceho sa predovšetkým na aspekt priestorovej diferenciácie biosféry. Základom rozčlenenia biosféry bol jej historický vývoj, počas ktorého sa formovali jednotlivé taxóny a spoločenstvá. Historický vývoj biosféry neprebiehal v stabilných konštantných podmienkach, ale prebiehal v neustále sa meniacich podmienkach spôsobených polohou našej planéty v rámci slnečnej sústavy, respektíve polohou zemskej osi voči ekliptike, a tiež polohou slnečnej sústavy v rámci galaxie. Všetky zmeny polohy Zeme spolu so zmenami polohy kontinentov (drift), klímy, vytvárali predpoklad pre priestorové rozšírenie biosféry. Historický vývoj biosféry, rôzne pohľady, hierarchická úroveň diferenciácie, príčiny diferenciácie sú zakomponované v predkladanom učebnom texte, ktorého cieľom je načrtnúť základne princípy tohto rozčlenenia. Cieľom je tiež poukázať na niektoré odlišnosti v chápaní terminológie, ako aj poukázať na niektoré základne vzťahy fungujúce v systéme krajiny v tom najširšom slova zmysle. Časť venovaná ekologickým princípom fungovania a formovania sa systému krajiny v zmysle MIČIANA a ZATKALÍKA (1984) načrtáva problémy chápania termínu ekosystém a geosystém. Z toho dôvodu sú v predloženom texte zaradené kapitoly, ktoré sa snažia vysvetliť chápanie a prístup k niektorým základným pojmom.

Učebné texty sú určené pre študentov jednoodborového, medziodborového a rozširujúceho štúdia, ako základný učebný materiál. Rozšírením poznatkov tohto študijného materiálu o ďalšie poznatky, ktoré sú detailnejšie rozpracované v literatúre zhrnutej v zozname literatúry tohto učebného textu, získajú absolventi komplexný pohľad na problémy biogeografie.
