However, the role of the viewer must also be considered important. It is these participants who can influence bullying, whether actively or passively. In this context, it is therefore appropriate to mention the Bystander effect in connection with bullying. The research within the dissertation was carried out at the primary school through qualitative methods. The analysis of the obtained data was performed using statistical methods. The research sample was a group of students attending the 8th grade. The study will be presented as a partial output of research results supplemented by the issue of the role of spectators in the process of bullying. |

Author : PhDr. Bc. Marcel Tóth |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Nursing and residential homes facility should maintain a current, accurate and reliable record of the drugs prescribed and given to a resident. The correct use of a medication chart can meet this requirement. The hard-copy of Nursing and Residential homes Medication Chart aims to provide a standard form for the prescription, dispensing and administration of drugs. In addition to providing a comprehensive record, it should facilitate communications between health professionals who are unlikely to visit nursing and residential facilities at the same time. The chart will also enable pharmacists to supply most drugs without the need for a separate prescription. This should reduce transcription errors and avoid delays in the supply of medicines. |

Whether in the position of a bystander, victim or aggressor. A lot of research has been realized out on the issue of bullying. On the one hand, it is research at home, but in abroad countries too. In most cases, questionnaire tools evaluated by quantitative methods were used for data collection. However, the research of bullying, whether it is a bullying process or, for example, the identification of the causes that trigger it, through participatory long-term observation is absented. Each research method has its pros and cons. In the article I will compare the method of observation and the questionnaire in the context of the research of bullying. The content will be supplemented by findings that results from the research, which was part of my dissertation. |

Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (Overview study) |
Author : PhDr. Jana Bartal, PhD. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The first question that came to my mind during the creation of this study was, from what spectrum of opinion to approach this issue? Naturally, it is not easy to find a point in the tangle of many professional publications, magazines and works to connect the topic of artificial intelligence and open up ethical issues so that it can be formulated into a clear study. But first, I should start at the beginning. It is the year 1920, the book R.U.R by Karel Capek comes to the book market. A ground-breaking work in the field of artificial intelligence with a huge number of pronounced, but also unspoken ethical questions. Naturally at the time, it was a utopian notion, or science fiction. For the first time, the word robot, derived from the word robota, was used in connection with man and something that resembles him in appearance, but with abilities in many, if not all, surpassing him. Hand in hand with the first robot, even if only fictitious, the first ethical questions arose about the morality of such a step by a man who wants to approach the mystery of creation or his own destruction. Capek establishes the main ethical areas which, despite the fact that a century has passed since the publication of his book, remain open. The first is whether we have the moral right to create something more intelligent than ourselves, which we would control and use, only as a thing to serve us. The second question is whether we have the right to take the job of thousands of people, because their work can be done easier, cheaper and faster. Isn´t it work that made us who we are? To what extent should we actually simplify the work process so that we do not cause social unrest among those who lose their jobs and cannot replace it, or do we allow artificial intelligence to decide for us who, where and when to work? Another ethical problem is the problem of misuse of artificial intelligence to the detriment of man and his existence, crime, manipulation, for political purposes. For this reason, in the study I will deal with an overview not only of authors and their works in the field of artificial intelligence, but also of organizations that deal with the work and research of artificial intelligence. In the topic of artificial intelligence, it must be clearly a cooperation of the scientific, private, state, but also society-wide sectors. The overview of this cooperation is the aim of this paper. |

Selected Socio-Pathological Phenomena in School Environment and Their Prevention |
Author : Mgr. Nina Jašeková, Bc. Dominika Šmíkalová |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :AIMS: The research article seeks answers to these two questions: What socio-pathological phenomena do we encounter in the school environment? Who provides prevention against these phenomena?
METHODS: We have chosen the method of data collection using a questionnaire precisely because we wanted to get to know the teachers’ honest opinions on social work in the education sector and to reveal the socio-pathological phenomena that occur in these schools. We have managed to conduct the research at 4 primary schools in the Nitra region – 52 teachers filled in the questionnaires, 32 of which were form tutors, and the average teaching practice was 15.8 years. Of the total number of form tutors, 17 have been teaching at the first level and 15 at the second level of primary schools.
RESULTS: Our findings point to several facts which support reflection on the need for school social work. This particularly includes the teachers’ acknowledgement that socio-pathological phenomena are present in primary schools – school social workers can provide support to pupils, help them to overcome educational problems caused by social problems, help to integrate pupils with special educational needs, and carry out prevention.
IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIAL WORK: It should be noted that the school only complements and shapes the educational process, which must first and foremost be created in the home environment. And here, again, we see a place where social workers could be of use – working with the student’s family. The school social worker should be in contact with the pupils and their parents in order to really help them in the event of a problem. |

Low-carb diet and its importance in diabetes and obesity |
Author : Mgr. Nikola Pelechová, doc. MUDr. Kvetoslava Rimárová, CSc., mim.prof. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :A low-carb diet is one of the most popular diets for the ever-increasing incidence of diabetes and obesity. With a low-carb diet, carbohydrate intake is limited to less than 45%, and with a very low-carb diet (ketogenic diet), carbohydrates may be limited to 20 g / day. Studies show that low-carb diets lead to significant weight loss and improvement in some health indicators, such as cholesterol, triglycerides and glycemia. These diets have been commonly used for decades and are recommended by many doctors. The best thing about this diet is that you usually dont have to count calories or consume a special food. All you need to do is consume more protein or healthy fat. |

History of scientific method |
Author : MSc. BA Ján Janek |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This essay analazyes the root causes of this phenomenon in the past and to examine the arguments that have emerged recently that even today, progress in some disciplines may be slowed by specific bad practices. This is at odds with other disciplines such as physics, astronomy, geology, molecular biology and chemistry, which are advancing, with spectacular results for developments in the general public. The aim of this essay is not to attempt a complete description of the history of science and the development of scientific philosophy in the historical period. Consideration will be limited to some specific characteristics of major episodes that are relevant to current scientific practice. The study of the history of science in connection with its philosophy is much more important than just antique curiosity. Furthermore, this essay mentions as a practical example of the importance of skepticism the decipherment of the Mayan script - the Thompson affair. It brings us an understanding of the different lines of thought and reasoning that have led to the hypotheses and discoveries of major contributors to progress, and makes them worthy of todays application and reassessment in the light of recent discoveries. |

Sketch of the relationship between the concepts of ethics and artificial intelligence |
Author : PhDr. Jana Bartal, PhD. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The aim of this paper is to analyze the basic concepts of artificial intelligence ethics. Given that this topic is part of applied ethics, it is necessary to formulate in this context the basic concepts with which the ethics of artificial intelligence works. We start from the futurological paradigm, which is characterized by the fact that it is open to several possible visions of the functioning of the world. Ethics has applications in many industries and disciplines, and in recent decades it has become a topic in the context of artificial intelligence. After studying the literature, I found a certain inconsistency in terms, so in this article I will try to outline the possibilities of individual technical terms from the position of ethics. In the first parts of the work I focus on explaining the very concept of man, artificial intelligence and ethics, in the following part I put them into a relationship. It is an outline of a possible understanding of new relationships within a newly formulated future. We used the method of theoretical analysis of Internet texts, books and professional studies. As part of the work, we also used a logical-factual analysis, on the basis of which we combined knowledge into proposals for extended or new possible definitions of terms related to the ethics of artificial intelligence. |

Motivation of low-qualified adults to education |
Author : PhDr. Marek Lukác, PhD. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In this article, we focus on the issue of motivating low-skilled adults to education and learning. The main problem is the concentration of people with a low or missing level of education in marginalized Roma settlements, but in the text we do not deal exclusively with these adults. In particular, we focus on the motivation to engage in education aimed at increasing the level of education (segment of formal school adult education – second chance education). A large part of marginalized adults, especially residents of Roma segregated and separated communities, reach a very low level of education for generations (predominantly completed primary education, incomplete primary education, special primary school). We draw attention to the insufficient efforts to address this issue both at the political level and at the level of school practice and research. Research is mainly focused on examining the motivation of those who have been involved in education. Our intention is to draw attention to issues of motivation, significantly associated with barriers to education of various kinds of disadvantaged adults, especially those with the lack of education, qualifications and employment resulting from their long-term life situation characterized by signs of a culture of poverty. |
