The university textbooks "Practical Exercises in Physical Chemistry" are intended as teaching literature for students of the 2nd year of the Chemistry study program and the 3rd year of the interdisciplinary study program at the Faculty of Science of the Pavel Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.

The three chapters summarize the basic knowledge of thermodynamics, electrochemistry and kinetics, the next chapter deals with the measurement of some other physico-chemical quantities. The tasks developed on the basis of cooperation with the Criminalistics and Expertise Institute of the Police in Košice, which also participates in the innovation of practical teaching, are also very attractive and interesting for students. Thematic units are updated and supplemented by new knowledge, principles as well as detailed working procedures using new instrumentation.

The aim of laboratory exercises in physical chemistry is to illustrate and confirm the physicochemical laws and correlations that apply to the quantitative description of chemical phenomena. Students will learn to use instruments and equipment that occur in physico-chemical laboratories, they will learn the principles of accurate and correct quantitative measurement of physical quantities, important from a chemical point of view. They can also develop professional and scientific communication skills, and we want to support their creative approach to making measurement protocols.

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. One chapter basically presents one lecture within the course of Bioenergetics, which is realized at the Faculty of Science of the Pavel Jozef Šafárik University in Košice at the master's and doctoral degree of the study program "Biophysics". At the same time, these texts can also be used for teaching in the study subject Biochemistry, which is taught in the bachelor's and master's degree programs of the study programs "Biochemistry" resp. “Biophysics”. We would like to express our conviction that this textbook could in some way also help researchers working in the field of the energy transformation in biological organisms and the phenomena associated with this transformation. This textbook presents knowledge about the basic concepts of bioenergetics, the mechanisms of processes such as glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (in addition to a detailed and comprehensive description of these processes, there is also a general view of the interconnectedness of these processes and their incorporation into a compact view of the overall energy transformation in biological organisms), the structure and functionality of biological membranes (this area is necessary for a better understanding of the knowledge presented in the following chapters). In the following chapters, the textbook deals with the description of the structure and function of mitochondria, with great emphasis on the properties and mechanisms of functioning of the four complexes of the respiratory chain and ATP-synthase. These complexes create the basis for the existence of the "most important" process in bioenergetics, oxidative phosphorylation. In the final two chapters, the mechanisms of the processes that produce photosynthesis, its light and dark phases, are presented. There is presented relevant information about this "second" most important bioenergetics process taking place in many biological organisms and providing the possibility of transforming the energy of electromagnetic radiation into energy "hidden" in the chemical bonds of certain chemical molecules. We want to express our conviction that the textbooks "Bioenergetics" will be a good "helper and inspirer" for many students who want to learn as much as possible about the fascinating structures and mechanisms for energy transformation in living systems, without which it would not be possible existence of life as we know it.

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.

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.

Pojem integrálu je jedným z najvýznamnejších pojmov v matematike vôbec. V naj- primitívnejšej podobe ho používali už starí Gréci pri tvorbe euklidovskej geometrie. No až po Descartovom diele o analytickej geometrii z roku 1637 mohli matematici začať považovať integrál za predmet analýzy. Descartova práca pripravila podmienky pre objav infinitezimálneho počtu Leibnizom a Newtonom okolo roku 1665. V tom čase vznikol veľký spor o prvenstvo tohto objavu, čo rozdelilo učencov Nemecka a Anglicka do dvoch bojujúcich táborov, z ktorých každý fandil svojmu favoritovi. Dnes vieme, že Newtonova práca o fluxiách a fluentoch bola o niečo skoršia, ale Leibnizovo označenie a prístup sa v matematickom svete ujali viac a symboly R a d sa používajú dodnes. Stručný prierez históriou integrálu bude uvedený v Kapitole 1.

Dnes existuje celá hromada skrípt, učebníc, či kníh venovaných výkladu pojmu integrál. Preto pred prvú otázku, či napísať ďalší text o tejto problematike, je postavený každý potenciálny autor. Nás ku kladnej odpovedi na túto otázku doviedla požiadavka študentov nájsť v určitej ucelenej podobe prednášanú problematiku časti zimného semestra druhého ročníka. Druhou motiváciou je trochu odlišný prístup k problematike. Ak si totiž uvedomíme, ktoré metódy sa zvyčajne používajú pri riešení úloh a zís- kavaní rutiny z určitého integrálu, ide hlavne o Newtonovu-Leibnizovu formulu a častokrát na výpočet určitého (Riemannovho) integrálu pomocou definície nezostáva veľa času. Preto sme zaradili pojednanie o Newtonovom integráli v Kapitole 2, ktorý reflektuje túto skutočnosť a má priamy súvis s neurčitým integrálom, ktorého rôznym metódam výpočtu sa venuje relatívne veľa pozornosti v predchádzajúcom semestri. Až za tým v Kapitole 3 vybudujeme teóriu Riemannovho integrálu, uvedieme kritériá jeho existencie, triedy integrovateľných funkcií, základné vlastnosti a nakoniec vzťah s Newtonovým integrálom. Otázky prevažne geometrických aplikácií riešime v Kapitole 4 a v poslednej kapitole sa venujeme rozšíreniu Riemannovho integrálu pre neohraničené funkcie a neohraničené intervaly.

The discovery of radioactivity at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries stimulated the rapid development of nuclear sciences. At the interface between nuclear physics and chemistry, disciplines such as radiochemistry, radiation chemistry and nuclear chemistry were formed. The aim of the Nuclear Chemistry course which is taught at the PF UPJŠ is to provide basic knowledge, with an emphasis on the general value of the subject. It is important to make available the basics of various methods, techniques and their specifics in the application of nuclear phenomena in chemistry and related fields. Emphasis is also placed on the use of correct terminology, knowledge of the context of relationships and basic principles, supplemented by illustrative concrete cases. The choice of material is rather difficult, but we count on additional monographs and textbooks to fill in the gaps of these teaching texts.

Zriadenie cvičebne fyziológie rastlín na Katedre botaniky PF UPJŠ v Košiciach v roku 1969 bolo spojené s menom Ing. Štefana Kocúrika, CSc. (1923 - 2006), ktorý spracoval aj prvé „Návody na cvičenia z fyziológie rastlín“ (Košice 1972, 1976). Od roku 1980 sa využívala príručka doc. RNDr. Karola Erdelského, CSc. a Ing. Fridricha Friča, DrSc. „Praktikum a analytické metódy vo fyziológii rastlín“ (Bratislava 1980).
Po zvýšení počtu študentov, sa v roku 1991 ukázalo aktuálnym vydať „Návody na cvičenia z fyziológie rastlín“ v záujme lepšej prípravy a efektívnej organizácie práce na cvičeniach. Doc. RNDr. A. Košturiak, CSc. svojimi podnetnými radami prispel k podstatnému rozšíreniu úvodnej časti návodov, za čo sú mu autori zaviazaní vďakou.
Pre štvrté vydanie sme inovovali a modernizovali niektoré úlohy a zohľadnili sme možnosti inovovanej praktikárne. Výber úloh sme prispôsobili aktuálnemu rozsahu cvičení jednotlivých predmetov fyziológie rastlín v bakalárskych a magisterských študijných programoch biológie a ekológie. Ide o predmety: Fyziológia rastlín, Metabolizmus rastlín, Minerálna výživa rastlín, Rast a vývin rastlín a Ekológia rastlín. Niektoré úlohy sú vhodné tiež pre stredoškolské pokusy. Výber tém ovplyvnila výskumná orientácia nášho pracoviska na sekundárny metabolizmus, ekofyziológiu a liečivé rastliny. V návodoch sa spravidla pridržiavame jednotiek SI sústavy, niekedy uvádzame iné zaužívané jednotky.
