These "Exercise Manuals" present a concise overview of commonly used methodologies as well as progressive techniques, such as the use of liquid chromatography and fluorescence microscopy. Individual tasks were selected based on the research focus of the Department of Botany at the Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, particularly in the context of "stress physiology."

Some tasks can also be utilized within the subject "Plant Ecology." Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is typically used as a model plant for individual tasks due to its long-standing history of research at the Department of Botany and its ease of cultivation under laboratory conditions. The chapters also briefly discuss the significance of monitored parameters, principles of their determination, and metabolism (formation or degradation), aiming to indicate their mutual context.

This approach highlights that determining an individual parameter cannot provide a general explanation for the overall causes and impacts of observed changes; however, it can serve as a basis for testing hypotheses at the level of other parameters.

For deeper study of specific issues, there is an abundance of high-quality international monographs and review articles available.

The proceedings contain abstracts of contributions from participants of the Student Scientific Conference of the Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, which took place on April 22, 2015.

The Student Scientific Conference (SSC) enjoys long-term popularity among the faculty's students and teachers, and we are pleased that this was no different this year, with 128 contributions submitted to the SSC.

The contributions were organized into 19 sections, additionally complemented by an open programming competition and the final of the IHRA contest. For many students, presenting at the SSC is one of the first opportunities to gain experience in presenting their results before a professional audience. Considering the number of submitted contributions, along with the members of the expert juries from the faculty's teaching staff and the audience who came to support their classmates' presentations, the SSC is an event where a large part of the student and academic community of the faculty meets at one place and time. Many abstracts presented in this proceedings were developed as part of students' work on partial tasks that are components of research projects at the departments of the Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University.

The abstracts represent, in a way, an overview of research topics at the individual workplaces of the faculty. The SSC proceedings thus serve as a useful tool that students and faculty teachers can use to present the faculty externally to partners, employers, and potential collaborators. Partners from practice have shown interest in cooperating in organizing the SSC for a long time. Since 2005, the association of IT companies has awarded a Prize for the Most Original Work and a Prize for the Work with the Best Prospects for Practical Application.

Decision-making is an everyday activity for us, whether it involves decisions about routine matters such as what to have for breakfast or more significant choices like selecting a career after finishing school. Due to the far-reaching consequences that a single decision can have on our entire lives, this area has received considerable attention in psychology. After all, the classic goals of psychology—describing, explaining, and predicting human behavior—are essentially attempts to understand decision-making and identify and describe the factors influencing it. Fundamental psychological disciplines such as the psychology of emotions and motivation, cognitive psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology all strive to achieve this understanding.

The presented text primarily adopts a cognitive approach, focusing on the processes of information processing and utilization. Since there are very few events in the future we can be completely certain about, key concepts include terms expressing uncertainty about the future, such as uncertainty, risk, objective probability, and subjective probability.

The central question thus lies in processing information from the environment and utilizing it in the decision-making process.

Obsedantně-kompulzivní porucha je relativně časté a většinou celoživotní psychické onemocnění, které se týká přibližně 3 % populace. Léčbu však zpravidla vyhledá jenom část těchto osob, které mají závažné a obtěžující příznaky.
   
Léčbou a výzkumem obsedantně-kompulzivní poruchy (OCD) se autoři zabývají již několik desetiletí. V našich podmínkách chybí dostatek základní odborné literatury v českém jazyce, proto se rozhodli své dlouholeté zkušenosti přetavit do této monografie. Kniha přináší souhrn výzkumů příčin a způsobu léčby OCD za posledních čtyřicet let a osvětluje problematiku z mnoha hledisek: věnuje se jak biologickému, tak psychologickému či psychoterapeutickému pohledu. Psychoterapeutické přístupy jsou probírány zevrubněji především proto, že jsou pokládány za účinnější a trvalejší.

Publikace je koncipována tak, aby z ní měli užitek jak odborníci (psychiatři, psychologové, praktičtí lékaři, poradenští pracovníci), tak studenti těchto oborů, ale i ti, kteří poruchou trpí, a jejich blízcí. Čtenář si může vybrat informace na různé úrovni odbornosti podle svých potřeb a možností.

Představte si, že byste se mohli zaměřit na jeden jediný aspekt vašeho zdraví a tím byste ovlivnili všechny ostatní – a zároveň tím i preventivně zabránili rozvinutí zdravotních potíží, o nichž jste ani netušili, že číhají pod povrchem.

Kniha Mystický léčitel JÁTRA nabízí odpovědi, které byste měli znát. Anthony William se čtenáři nadšeně sdílí naprosto nový pohled na dosud nepropátrané funkce jater, orgánu, který je pro náš život zásadní.
​
Mystický léčitel objasňuje, co je příčinou mnoha zdravotních problémů, a nabízí podrobný návod, jak se z nich vymanit  a žít co nejlepší život. Zjistíte, že zdravá játra vám mohou přinést i jasnou mysl, klid a spokojenost a lepší přizpůsobivost v dnešní rychle se měnící době.

A díky nim můžete dosáhnout i toho, že budete dobře spát, mít vyrovnanou hladinu krevního cukru, nižší krevní tlak i hmotnost, budete vypadat mladší a hlavně se tak i cítit. Zdravá játra mohou zásadně vyrušit stres, zabránit stárnutí a chránit vás před ohrožením vnějšího světa – jen pokud jim dopřejete tu správnou péči.
