In the textbook, the processes belonging to an area of  nonequilibrium physics, which make the basis for the study and analysis of compex phenomena  of statistical mechanics, are described. The Boltzmann equation for distribution function is derived and on this basis the hydrodynamic equations are constructed.  Stochastic processes are described separately and Fokker-Planck equation for density probability  is derived. Textbook is intended for the students of second year of master study at Faculty of Science of P. J. Šafarik University.

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field of science at the interface of biological, psychological and computer sciences, which aims to describe the functioning of the brain and mind. Computational and cognitive neuroscience are subfields of neuroscience focused on the study of information processing in the human and animal nervous systems, and on the theoretical description of the brain and mind. This university textbook contains several assignments that provide an overview of the methods used in computational and cognitive neuroscience, with an emphasis on mathematical modeling and on the behavioral study of cognitive processes. The textbook builds on the author's previous works.

Students studying biology as the single-subject or as a part of two-subject programs on various faculties of sciences are often encountered with the problem, how to limit the topics in the subject Human anatomy. This List of anatomical terms is aiming to help the non-medical students to get acquainted with the extensive anatomical nomenclature and to optimize the number of anatomical terms, which should be memorized, to preserve the sufficient capacity of the students for another knowledge of the field of systemic, comparative, developmental and functional anatomy. The emphasis on the arrangement of individual anatomical terms into the logical units supports the hierarchical view on the architecture of the human body. Despite the common opinion, anatomical nomenclature represents a framework, which is during the further study gradually enveloped with the knowledge of more or less related disciplines concerning with the human body and its biological processes. Moreover, besides this ambition, which exceeds the area of the human anatomy, this List of anatomical terms continues the long tradition with respect to the valid Latin and Slovak anatomical terminology.

Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice under the auspices of Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic, Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic and European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility GmbH in Hamburg organizes School of XFEL and Synchrotron Radiation Users 2024 (SFEL 2024). The school is continuation of the Winter Schools of Synchrotron radiation held in 2011, 2013, 2014 and SFEL 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. The aim of the SFEL2024 school is to facilitate the growth of new Slovak research community of high expertise in high-efficiency RTG laser and synchrotron and neutron sources. The SFEL school is designed for efficient transfer of the rapidly developing know-how in these areas to young generation – researchers and university students. The next aim of the SFEL2024 is strengthening of personal connections between the local Slovak research community and forming scientific teams of XFEL users. Slovak research community thus can take advantage of the fact that Slovakia is a shareholder of European XFEL GmbH Company in Hamburg, but also makes more efficient use of other closely related scientific facilities, including ILL and ESRF in Grenoble and DESY in Hamburg.

Crystallography deals with discerning the arrangement and bonding of atoms in crystalline solids. Almost immediately after their discovery, X-rays began to be used to study the internal structure of substances. The first chapter of this textbook deals with the basic concepts of crystallography. At the beginning, crystalline solids are characterized. In the next section, the basic types of bonds and their characteristics are briefly presented. The main subject of this chapter is the interpretation of basic concepts such as symmetry operations, translational periodicity, grid, elementary cell. Spatial lattices and crystal systems are presented. At the end of this chapter, attention is paid to the description of individual types of defects in crystal structures. In the second chapter, the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is presented. Individual quantum numbers and their meaning are given. Next, energy levels and allowed transitions within an atom with multiple electrons are described. The second chapter concludes with the characterization of the basic absorption and emission processes. The third chapter is devoted to the production of X-ray radiation and its properties. Sources of X-ray radiation and a description of their operation are presented. Interaction of X-ray radiation with matter, absorption and detection of X-ray radiation are the subject of the last part of this chapter.

Tieto vysokoškolské učebné texty sú určené poslucháčom prvého ročníka magisterského štúdia na Prírodovedeckej fakulte UPJŠ v Košiciach. Rozsah a náplň prác zahrnutých v týchto skriptách vychádza hlavne z časových a priestorových možností s prihliadnutím na materiálovú náročnosť prác. Cieľom týchto skrípt je naučiť študentov základné mikrobiologické techniky a ukázať im význam mikroorganizmov v bežnom živote a ich dôležitú úlohu v prírode. Cvičenia sú zamerané tak, aby si študenti zvýšili svoju technickú zručnosť, naučili sa pracovať podľa bezpečnostných zásad. Text je rozdelený do 13 častí. V úvode každej z nich je uvedená teória k precvičovanej téme. V prílohe je návrh na vypracovanie protokolov k jednotlivým cvičeniam.

Práca s učebným textom predpokladá primerané znalosti z oblasti fyzikálnej chémie, fyziky a biológie, bez ktorých je orientácia v predkladanom študijnom materiáli zložitá. Solídne znalosti z matematiky sú nevyhnutné a pomáhajú pri pochopení problémov koloidnej chémie. V skriptách, ktoré sa členia na jednotlivé kapitoly, po klasifikácii a charakterizácii disperzných sústav sa najprv rozoberajú optické a molekulovo-kinetické vlastnosti. 
Mimoriadne veľký medzifázový povrch, ktorý je charakteristický hlavne pre koloidne disperzné sústavy, pripisuje zvlášť dôležitú úlohu javom, ktoré prebiehajú na fázovom rozhraní, t.j. povrchovým javom. V súvislosti s týmto poznatkom diskutujú sa vlastnosti mobilných fázových rozhraní a fázového rozhrania tuhá látka/plyn a tuhá látka/kvapalina. Významná je následne zaradená kapitola o elektrických vlastnostiach disperzných sústav. Táto kapitola je tesne spojená s otázkami vzniku, štruktúry, stability a deštrukcie disperzií; pozornosť sa venuje predovšetkým koloidným sústavám. Neoddeliteľnou súčasťou je aj kapitola, ktorá popisuje reologické vlastnosti disperzných sústav. Ďalšie kapitoly uvádzajú jednotlivé typy disperzných sústav.

Tento vysokoškolský učebný text je určený najmä študentom chemických a ekologických odborov na Prírodovedeckej fakulte Univerzity P. J. Šafárika v Košiciach. Nekladie si za cieľ vyčerpávajúco rozoberať do detailov celú problematiku, lebo o nej pojednávajú monografie nielen z koloidnej a makromolekulovej chémie, často možno nájsť detailné rozpracovanie aj v základných učebniciach fyzikálnej chémie.

Bats represent a unique group of mammals, characterised by different life strategies. They are the only mammals capable of active flight, which, combined with their almost exclusively nocturnal activity, has led to the evolution of specific adaptations. One of the most striking is echolocation, which enables them to orientate themselves perfectly in their surroundings in the dark. Bats are mainly native to the tropics, but have also colonised areas outside the tropics, which, has led to a complex phenological cycle with active phases and interruptions during hibernation, especially in temperate zones. In this diverse and species-rich group (almost 1,500 known species), there is a wide range of social organisation as well as feeding and roosting strategies. The textbook "Fundamentals of Chiropterology" brings the current state of knowledge about these extraordinary animals in eleven chapters and two appendices for the first time in the Slovak language.
