Selected tasks and problems from biochemistry – metabolism follow biochemistry lectures on metabolism and individual metabolic pathways for students of the second and third year of the bachelor’s degree in the fields of chemistry, biology and their combinations with other fields. Scripts provide an opportunity to better understand the lectured subject matter of metabolism through the solution of tasks and problems as serve as a basis for one-hour exercises. The scripts are divided thematically into eleven chapters, and each chapter contains 10 tasks and 7 problems. At the beginning of the chapters there is a short description and explanation of the given metabolic pathway. However, when solving the tasks, the student must focus mainly on the curriculum that was presented on the given topic in the lecture. Subsequently, at the end of chapter, answers to problems are also presented. These scripts are intentionally accessible only in electronic form. The reason is the effort to continuously update and modernize individual tasks.

The university handbook Elementals of Population Geography and Demography - Part I, as an introduction to population studies, is primary study material for students of the geography study program, as well as for students of the Information Systems in Public Administration study program at the Pavel Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, but also for the wider public interested in about population phenomena and their spatiality. Among other things, the handbook offers the latest population reports in the world and its regions. The aim of the handbook is to introduce young geographers to the basics of population research, which includes the most frequently used tools and methods in geographic analysis. The first part of the handbook contains an introduction to the scientific disciplines of population geography and demography with an overview of basic sources of demographic data. The next part discusses the issue of anthropogenesis, i.e. the development of humans from our ancestors and the spatial spread of humans across our Earth. Part of this part is the recent development of the world population and changes in the size and distribution of the global population over time. The last part analyses how the population is distributed in the world and in relation to the geographical components of the space.

Zborník abstraktov Študentskej vedeckej konferencie PF UPJŠ

Charakteristickou črtou vzdelávania na kvalitných vysokých školách, ku ktorým Prírodovedecká fakulta UPJŠ v Košiciach patrí, je úzke prepojenie vzdelávania a vedeckého výskumu. Poznatky a vedomosti z odboru štúdia získavajú študenti nielen teoretickým štúdiom jednotlivých disciplín, ale aj aktívnym zapojením sa do riešenia čiastkových vedeckých úloh v rámci výskumných tímov či už pri vypracovávaní záverečných prác alebo formou nástroja Študentských pomocných vedeckých síl (ŠPVS), ktorých činnosť sa na fakulte revitalizovala v roku 2015.

Študentská vedecká konferencia (ŠVK) je jedným z tradičných podujatí fakulty, ktoré je organizované počas Prírodovedeckých dní ako súčasť Sciencefestu. Svojou povahou prirodzene zapadá do spomínaného súkolia prepojenia vzdelávania a vedy a dlhodobo sa teší veľkej popularite a záujmu študentov. V roku 2016 na ŠVK vystúpilo 125 študentov Prírodovedeckej fakulty UPJŠ v Košiciach, v rámci 16 sekcií. Prehľad o zameraní a cieľoch študentských prác podáva tento zborník. Veríme, že bude inšpiráciou pre ďalších potenciálnych záujemcov o vystúpenie na ŠVK, ale bude zaujímavý aj pre širšiu verejnosť, ktorej môže podať doplnkový pohľad na činnosť fakulty.

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.

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.

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.

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.
