The textbook "Bioenergetics" should serve as an introduction to the study of bioenergetics. This field of science is currently highly actual, as the results of the bioenergetics research in recent years clearly show that bioenergetics processes in living systems can "serve" not only to transformation of energy, but also affect the course of processes such as apoptosis, aging, origin and development of many diseases (especially neurodegenerative).

These facts clearly indicate the need for the existence of quality teaching texts that would allow students to acquire the necessary information and knowledge in this scientific discipline in an acceptable way. For the above mentioned reasons, we decided to create these textbooks, which are in the form of ten chapters, which naturally and logically follow each other.

Bibliographies provide basic scientific information, illustrate quality and intensity of research in a particular topic, area, or time, and thus help build a cultural-historical perspective of society’s appreciation of knowledge and education. Here we provide a bibliography of herpetological research in the region of Slovakia between the years 1791 and 2017. We collected 2,183 references authored by 1,453 different authors and covering all species of amphibians (18) and reptiles (13) occurring in Slovakia and, in addition, amphibian and reptile taxa occurring in 94 other countries.

Most of the contributions were published in popular magazines and non-indexed journals, while only about 12% of all references represent scientific articles from journals indexed in relevant scientific databases. The extensiveness of study on amphibians and reptiles has varied among different periods within the selected time frame. However, an obvious intensification in the field of herpetology can be observed, especially during the second half of the 20th century. While there have only been few professionals specialized in herpetology, an important role in promoting the research and conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Slovakia has been played by non-governmental organizations and hobbyists. The most frequent type of herpetological data in the referenced literature comes from faunistic research, followed by conservation and general information on herpetofauna, with the majority of published articles in indexed journals coming from the fields of palaeontology, phylogeography, and population genetics.

The presented bibliography is the first step towards building a solid base for future systematic herpetological research in the country and Central Europe.

This monograph is devoted to the discussion of effective field theory based on the differential operator method, originally introduced by Honmura and Kaneyoshi in 1979, which remains actively used for theoretical studies of localized spin models of magnetism—particularly variants of the Ising model. To date, this methodology has been applied by numerous authors to investigate a wide range of systems, including crystalline systems, diluted magnetic systems, systems with random exchange interactions, amorphous magnetic materials, systems under random magnetic and crystalline fields, thin magnetic layers, magnetic systems with free surfaces, binary and ternary magnetic alloys, among others.

During my scientific career, I have collaborated with several leading experts in this field—including Prof. Kaneyoshi, with whom I completed two long-term research stays—to advance the development of the differential operator method (and consequently effective field theory). Within this research area, I have published over 40 scientific papers in prominent international physics journals. These works include both methodological advancements and significant applications that predict intriguing physical phenomena, such as multicompensation phenomena in ferrimagnets.

This textbook covers the fundamentals of phenomenological thermodynamics to the extent typically taught in standard theoretical physics courses at the undergraduate level in the Physics degree program. A slightly reduced scope is also taught in all interdisciplinary study programs combined with physics. In recent years, the time allocation for individual courses has been slightly reduced, which is reflected in our selection and coverage of topics.

Our primary aim was to provide a sufficiently solid explanation of the key concepts and laws of thermodynamics necessary for mastering further theoretical physics courses at the master's level (e.g., Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Quantum Theory of Solids, Quantum Theory of Magnetism, etc.). The book also presents the essential minimum knowledge required for the study of further applications of thermodynamics in biophysics, biology, chemistry, and engineering disciplines.

Understanding individual sections, as well as the text as a whole, requires a grasp of the basic concepts of thermodynamics at the level of a General Physics course and knowledge equivalent to a standard university mathematics course. Each topic is treated with the utmost emphasis on conceptual clarity and mathematical rigor.

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.

Cieľom tejto knihy je spracovať názvoslovné zásady a pravidlá, podľa ktorých sa tvoria slovenské názvy biochemických zlúčenín. Táto monografia je po dlhšom čase prvým pokusom o spracovanie tohto problému, a preto dúfame, že bude pomôckou a prínosom nielen pre študentov a učiteľov ale aj vedeckých pracovníkov. Poslúži aj študentom stredných škôl, ktorí majú záujem o biochémiu a molekulovú biológiu. Kniha obsahuje najnovšie názvoslovie, zásady a pravidlá pri tvorbe názvov biochemických zlúčenín. Kniha plne aplikuje odporúčania spoločnej komisie Medzinárodnej únie pre teoretickú a aplikovanú chémiu (IUPAC) a Medzinárodnej únie pre biochémiu a molekulárnu biológiu (IUBMB) so zahrnutím aktuálnych úprav názvoslovia, stereochémie a grafického znázornenia štruktúr podľa IUPAC.

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.

Predkladaná práca podáva základné poznatky z astronómie a astrofyziky úplne novou multimediálnou formou. Rozsah podávaných poznatkov je zameraný hlavne na stelárnu astrofyziku a doplnený o kozmológiu nad rámec názvu práce. 
Novým prístupom v práci je veľký podiel obrazového materiálu, grafov a videoklipov a naopak stručnosť sprievodného textu. Takáto forma predkladania poznatkov v danej problematike nemá zatiaľ na Slovensku obdobu, a preto túto prácu môžeme považovať za úplne novátorské dielo. Treba však zdôrazniť, že pútavá forma predkladaných poznatkov nie je na úkor ich obsahu. V práci sú všetky potrebné informácie, ktoré by mal zvládnuť študent fyziky hlavne pedagogického zamerania. Práca taktiež môže byť neoceniteľnou pomôckou pedagógom na stredných, ale aj základných školách, ako aj profesionálnym pracovníkom – astronómom pri popularizovaní astronomických poznatkov. Toto naznačuje, že práca pokrýva pomerne široké spektrum potrieb na rôznych pracoviskách zaoberajúcich sa astronómiou, a to od univerzít, cez pedagogické fakulty a gymnáziá až po hvezdárne, planetáriá a astronomické krúžky.

Solving crystal structures is the royal discipline of X-ray crystallography. Its primary task, with the exception of defects, is to describe the atomic structure of the motif that, by its repetition, fills the volume of the entire crystal or crystalline phase. This task is nowadays more or less routine for single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which can locate hundreds to thousands of non-hydrogen atoms in large unit cells. However, in real practice, we often have material available only in powder form instead of single crystals. Solving the atomic structure from its X-ray diffraction data is non-trivial, mainly because the three-dimensional diffraction space of a single crystal is reduced to one dimension by measuring a large number of randomly oriented microcrystals (crystallites). Therefore, the solution itself requires, in addition to proper measurement methodology, the selection of suitable tools, procedures, and strategies that, through optimization, will lead to the solution and refinement of the given crystalline phase. The current limit of this method is approximately 100 non-hydrogen atoms in the asymmetric part of the unit cell, which, however, is sufficient for most inorganic materials.

The goal of these educational texts is to provide students in the second and third levels of university studies with specific guidance on solving crystal structures from powder X-ray diffraction data. These scripts build upon my first monograph and require practical knowledge of its content. Similar to my previous monograph, I offer solved examples without a deep theoretical introduction, demonstrating procedures and strategies leading to the correct solution of crystalline phases using the freely available GSAS-II program. The examples are arranged from simpler to more complex, and the reader will find many useful pieces of information in the literature references as well as in the comments below the line. Part of these scripts are data intended for your individual practice of the described procedures.

Here we provide a bibliography of herpetological research in the region of Slovakia between the years 1791 and 2017. We collected 2,183 references authored by 1,453 different authors and covering all species of amphibians (18) and reptiles (13) occurring in Slovakia and, in addition, amphibian and reptile taxa occurring in 94 other countries.

Most of the contributions were published in popular magazines and non-indexed journals, while only about 12% of all references represent scientific articles from journals indexed in relevant scientific databases. The extensiveness of study on amphibians and reptiles has varied among different periods within the selected time frame. However, an obvious intensification in the field of herpetology can be observed, especially during the second half of the 20th century.
