Multidisciplinárny projekt Bridge podporený európskym programom Erasmus+ rieši problematiku akademickej a výskumnej integrity, ktorú sa snaží prepájať s občianskou vedou i podnikaním. V rámci projektu vznikli checklisty a súbory pravidiel na prepájanie akademickej integrity vo výskume, podnikaní a občianskej vede, vzdelávacie materiály, hry, aj vzdelávacie moduly, ktoré sa dajú prispôsobiť rôznym vedným odborom. Cieľovými skupinami projektu sú študenti 2. a 3. stupňa vysokoškolského štúdia a ich školitelia. Všetky výstupy z projektu sú voľne dostupné
Changes in body composition in mma fighters induced by weight training with regulated blood flow in the limbs
The aim of the study was to elucidate the effect of weight training with regulated blood flow in the limbs on changes in active and non-active body mass parameters in mixed martial arts fighters. The research sample consisted of 12 male mixed martial arts fighters aged 18.91 ± 2.35 divided into experimental and control groups. Participants performed 2 weight training sessions without (control group) and with regulated blood flow in the limbs (experimental group) per week for 8 weeks. Body composition was measured by InBody 720 with a focus on skeletal muscle mass, body cell mass, body fat mass and percentage of body fat. Due to weight training with regulated blood flow in the limbs was observed statistically significant increase in skeletal muscle mass (p=0.046, r=0.813) and body cell mass BCM (p=0.046, r=0.813). Contrary to weight training without regulated blood flow in the limbs was observed statistically significant decrease in body fat mass (p=0.115, r=0.644) and percentage of body fat (p=0.116, r=0.642). Weight training with regulated blood flow in the limbs at low load intensity can enhance the level of skeletal muscle mass and body cell mass in mixed martial arts fighters, even without muscle failure. In relation to optimalization of non-active body mass parameters it appears to be insufficient.

HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
Básnik, dramatik, románopisec, cestopisec a rozprávkar Hans Christian Andersen sa narodil v chudobnej rodine obuvníka v meste Odense na dánskom ostrove Fyn. Vďaka vytrvalosti a odhodlaniu sa z neho stal najznámejší spisovateľ Dánska. Je považovaný za zakladateľa modernej autorskej rozprávky a tento žáner ho preslávil po celom svete. Na Slovensku ho poznáme najmä ako rozprávkara, no to je iba zlomok z jeho rozsiahleho a žánrovo oveľa bohatšieho diela. Na počesť a pri príležitosti 165. výročia Andersenovej návštevy v Prešporku slávnostne odhalili 2. júna 2006 v priestore Hviezdoslavovho námestia v Bratislave plastiku Andersena, ktorú vytvoril akademický sochár Tibor Bartfay ako dar bez nároku na honorár. 
Injuries to the hamstrings in sprinters
To determine the incidence of hamstring shortening and the occurrence of posterior thigh muscle injuries in relation to the strength of their eccentric muscle contraction in a group of professional sprinters and in a control group (general population). Based on the results, the aim is to identify individuals at risk of future posterior thigh muscle injuries. The sample consisted of 34 sprinters and 34 individuals from the general population. The sprinter group included 16 female sprinters and 18 male sprinters. The average age was 21.23 years (SD ±2.52). The average training age of the sprinters was 6.64 years (SD ±1.81). The control group consisted of 16 women and 18 men. The average age was 20.23 years (SD ±0.94). To determine the relationship between eccentric muscle contraction strength and the incidence of posterior thigh muscle injuries, the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment questionnaire (VISA-H), a test for hamstring shortening, and the Nordic Angle method used during the Nordic hamstring exercise were applied. We observed a significant difference in the strength of eccentric contraction of the posterior thigh muscles (p = 0.001) and in the total VISA-H questionnaire score (p = 0.002), both in favor of the sprinter group. No significant difference was found in the incidence of posterior thigh muscle injuries over the past year (p = 0.75). Similarly, no significant difference was confirmed in the testing of hamstring shortening (p = 0.73). From a preventive perspective, it is important to test the strength of eccentric contraction of the posterior thigh muscles in sprinters. It is equally important to monitor whether a sprinter shows symptoms of posterior thigh muscle injury, which could pose a complication in their athletic career. The implementation of targeted rehabilitation programs could have a preventive effect in reducing the risk of injuries in sprinters.

Level of swimming ability of primary school pupils
This study is aimed at determining the relationship and influence of different forms of basic swimming training on the swimming ability of primary school children in the Bansko-Bystrica region. The research was carried out in the school years 2023/24 and 2024/25 and involved 332 second and third year primary school pupils with an average age of 7.6 years, an average body height of 132 cm and an average body weight of 26.5 kg. Swimming ability was assessed by 5 tests of swimming skills (deep water dive, deep water exhalation, breaststroke and backstroke, catching objects) and 5 tests dealing with the mastery of swimming techniques, starts and turns. The testing was conducted after the completion of the swimming training, and the pupils scored an average of 1.9 points on the swimming skills tests (T1 - T5), with girls showing better average results than boys (2.1 / 1.7). The results from the tests focusing on mastering the basics of the starting dive (T6) indicate a set level of 1.6 points, and 2.3 points in the swimming stroke (T7), with the breaststroke stroke being the most frequently chosen stroke although most pupils were able to correctly perform the crawl pendulum stroke. Pupils mastered the gross form of the breaststroke stroke at an average of 1.94 points, the crawl stroke at an average of 1.64 points and the breaststroke at an average of 1.66 points. On the basis of the results and average scores of probands we evaluate the level of swimming ability of the children of the monitored groups, especially due to the insufficient time subsidy of the implemented swimming training as adequate and corresponding to the requirements and performance standard.

SLUŽBY SHERPA ROMEO, SHERPA JULIET A SHERPA FACTS NA JEDNEJ PLATFORME
Vedeckí pracovníci musia plniť požiadavky financovateľov vedeckého výskumu na publikovanie výstupov a ich archiváciu. Mnohí z nich požadujú, aby boli vedecké články a dáta publikované v režime otvoreného prístupu. Autori sú preto nútení vyhľadávať takých vydavateľov a časopisy, ktoré im umožnia okamžitý otvorený prístup, alebo aspoň autoarchiváciu príspevkov v inštitucionálnom alebo predmetovom repozitári. Dôveryhodným zdrojom informácií o politikách vydavateľov a financovateľov výskumu je nová služba Open Policy Finder
OTVORENÉ RECENZNÉ KONANIE Open Peer Review. ÁNO ALEBO NIE?
Otvorené recenzné konanie je moderný prístup hodnotenia vedeckých výstupov. Jeho cieľom je zvýšiť transparentnosť a kvalitu vedeckých publikácií a zároveň je výzvou k väčšej zodpovednosti pri zverejňovaní výsledkov vedeckovýskumného procesu. Tradičné recenzné konanie často prebieha anonymne, identita recenzentov nie je autorom známa. Naopak otvorené recenzné konanie treba vnímať ako kolaboratívny proces medzi autorom a recenzentom, ktorý prináša výhody aj čitateľom vedeckých prác. Umožňuje im totiž nahliadnuť do pripomienok a spätnej väzby, ktorú autori dostali od recenzentov
CITOVANIE VERZUS ODKAZOVANIE: pochopenie kľúčových rozdielov
Citovanie a odkazovanie veľmi úzko spolu súvisia, avšak existuje medzi nimi niekoľko hlavných rozdielov. Citovanie je uvedenie zdroja informácií v texte dokumentu, zvyčajne uvedením priezviska autora a roku vydania v zátvorke, alebo použitím poznámky pod čiarou. Na druhej strane odkazovanie je uvedenie úplného zoznamu všetkých použitých zdrojov na konci dokumentu
A practical example of calculating Cronbach's alpha as a tool for measuring the internal consistency of questionnaire items of a qualitative nature
In the domain of sports sciences, questionnaire-based measurement represents a fundamental methodological approach for gathering relevant data. Such data may be either quantitative or qualitative in nature. In the case of qualitative variables, questionnaires are frequently employed to assess psychological, social, and behavioral characteristics of athletes. However, the outcomes of these measurements are often subject to respondents' subjective perception as well as temporal fluctuations in behavior, which may compromise the objectivity of the results. When developing a new questionnaire intended to capture qualitative constructs, it is essential to evaluate its psychometric properties, with particular emphasis on its measurement quality. One of the key indicators of quality is reliability, defined as the degree of stability and internal consistency of the instrument over time. This study presents one of the most used approaches for assessing internal consistency—Cronbach’s alpha coefficient—as a tool for estimating the reliability of questionnaire-based instruments in sport psychology research.
