Perfect-matching covers of cubic graphs with colouring defect 3
Abstract:
The colouring defect of a cubic graph is the smallest number of edges left uncovered by any set of three perfect matchings. While $3$-edge-colourable graphs have defect~$0$, those that cannot be $3$-edge-coloured have defect at least $3$. We show that every bridgeless cubic graph with defect $3$ can have its edges covered with at most five perfect matchings, which verifies a long-standing conjecture of Berge for this class of graphs. Moreover, we determine the extremal graphs. This is a joint work with Ján Katabáš, Edita Máčajová, and Roman Nedela.

On Tuesday, June 27, 2023, the celebration of this anniversary took place under the patronage of the President of the Slovak Republic. The CERN director for international relations, Ms. Charlotte Warakaulle, representatives of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Slovak Republic, that of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Czech Republic, the Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to the UN in Geneva, representatives of institutions cooperating with CERN from Slovakia (SAV, UK, UPJS, ​​TUKE, ...) and those from the Czech Republic (UK, ČAV). The celebrations began with a morning program for high school students on FMFI UK, where, in addition to lectures and a virtual visit to the ATLAS detector, students could try to build a cloud chamber with their own hands and see traces of cosmic radiation particles. The same event for high school students was held earlier (June 15, 2023) by the Nuclear and Subnuclear Department in the campus of the PF UPJŠ in Košice. In the afternoon, a ceremonial meetingPhoto gallery guests gave their speeches, and representatives of the Slovak scientific community summarized what Slovakia had achieved during the 30 years of cooperation with CERN, not only at the scientific level, but also the benefits for the Slovak industry and for student teaching programs at different departments. The celebrations made a very good impression on the CERN director for international relations, who appreciated the event for high school students, as well as the significant representation of young colleagues at the celebrations. Likewise, representatives of ministries and institutions confirmed the great importance of cooperation between the Slovak Republic and CERN and the possibilities that this cooperation offers not only for scientists, but also for Slovak society as a whole. At CERN, Slovakia not only participates in scientific experiments, but also successfully develops cooperation in the IT field or in various technical fields, and this successful cooperation so far opens up further opportunities in the future.

In the ARWU ranking (the Shanghai ranking) CU was ranked in the 801st-900th place band in 2021, in the 701st-800th place band in 2022 and in the 901st-1000th place band in 2023. This means that last year CU’s absolute ranking improved from 2021, but this year it deteriorated slightly. Between 2017 and 2023, the number of evaluated universities in this ranking increased from 1,300 to 2,500. In 2018, Comenius University was among 46.73% - 53.33% of top-ranked universities, this year it is among 36.04% - 40.00% of the best. This representation indicates an upward trend.

In the QS WUR ranking, CU ranks 771st-780th. Since 2016, it's position has been fluctuating around approximately the same placement in this ranking. It is currently at the same position as in 2019 or in 2020. In 2016, the QS world ranking evaluated 900 universities while currently it covers 1,500. In 2016, CU was in the top 70.9%, today it is in the top 45.8%. This figure also testifies to the continuous improvement of CU’s position among world universities.*

It currently ranks 1001st-1200th in THE WUR ranking. Its position has been improving in all absolute scores of this ranking since 2016. In 2016, the ranking evaluated 800 universities while today it covers 1799. CU’s overal ranking improved from 75.13% - 81.63% in 2016 to 55.64% - 66.70%. Once again, these figures illustrate a trend of continuous improvement of Comenius University’s position among world universities.

For the sake of completeness, we present the ranking of Comenius University in a number of other world rankings, ordered from its best ranking to the lowest:

• The Three University Missions (MosIUR) – 286th place
• RankPro – 454th place
• Round University Ranking (RUR) – 589th place
• Best Global Universities (US News) – 639th place
• The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) – 661st place
• University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP) – 739th place
• National Taiwan University Rankings (NTU) - 851st - 900th place

Three important points need to be made regarding the rankings:

1. Some rankings significantly reward universities for Nobel Prize or Fields Medal laureate staff. In rankings like ARWU, this indicator has a weight of as much as 30%. At present, however, it is unrealistic for a Slovak university to offer a staff position to a Nobel Prize winner.
2. Academic reputation is sometimes an important part of the score and is established by the ranking services through their own surveys among researchers. In some rankings, this parameter has a weight of up to 50%. However, most Slovak universities only have a very small or non-existent budget for international marketing and investments in targeted advertising, which is sold by the publishers of the rankings themselves.
3. Many rankings continuously change the weights of various criteria and continuously add new evaluated countries. Therefore, data from different years are only indicative.

CU appreciates the interest that the analysts of the Slovak Government Office show in international rankings of Slovak universities. The Government of the Slovak Republic is our largest customer and consequently we welcome its support in resolving the numerous issues we are facing, e.g. delayed payment applications in major projects, access to international databases, excessive bureaucracy in public procurement or insufficient funding of student dormitories, which will likely necessitate a gradual closure of some Comenius University premises in Mlynská dolina. Unpredictable funding, however, is our major issue. Usually, we only find out at the beginning of the current year what our budget will be for that year, making long-term planning impossible. Another issue is the financing of higher education in the countries with which we compare ourselves. According to Eurostat, Slovakia spends 0.6% of its GDP on higher education, while the Czech Republic spends 0.7%, Hungary 1.6%, and Poland 1.2%. The budget of Comenius University is approximately 140 million euros, and the total budget of all 20 Slovak public universities together is about 600 million euros per year. The budget of Charles University alone is around 500 million euros, and the budget of the University of Vienna is more than 700 million euros per year. In conclusion, we would like to repeat that the international ranking of Comenius University is continuously improving year-on-year once the increasing numbers of evaluated universities are taken into account. And if universities in neighbouring countries do even better than us, we see this as an invitation to rethink the support that our universities are receiving from the state. ________ * Yesterday, on 20 September 2023, the QS ranking of European schools was published for the first time. In this ranking, Comenius University was ranked 298th in Europe and 20th among Eastern European countries. However, it is still too early to evaluate these data, as this is the first edition. ]]> [RUK] Tlačové správy [RUK][SP] Aktuality [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky [RUK] Tlačové správy EN pr@uniba.sk Thu, 21 Sep 2023 18:00:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ THE FIRST YEAR OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE LAW TOOK PLACE FROM 14 SEPTEMBER...

Justification forms the principal difference between scientific knowledge and the ‘low-brow’ theory of knowledge underpinned by individualism which is so prevalent today. Justification is also the more difficult path to truth. And herein lies the role of educational and scientific institutions," said the Rector of Comenius University Marek Števček during the academic year opening ceremony. "We will need to increase emphasis on the "4C model" in education, which means educating people towards greater creativity, critical thinking, communication and cooperation. Nothing should change about the fact that educational and research institutions must tirelessly prioritise facts." he emphasized. The ceremonial nature of the assembly was enhanced at the end by the musical performance of cellist Jozef Lupták and accordionist Boris Lenko. So far, 23,000 people have registered to study at Comenius University in 2023/2024, over 3,000 of whom are from abroad. Almost two thirds of students are women. Enrolment is still ongoing and so the figures are not final yet. The final figures will be published at the end of October. In the first academic year 1919/1920, 139 male and 5 female students enrolled in the winter semester. During the one hundred and five years of its existence, Comenius University awarded almost 300,000 degrees. It is the only university from Slovakia that has long regularly ranked in the top 1000 of nearly all international university rankings. On the first day of the academic year, the Rector of Comenius University also officially opened a new relaxation zone for students in the vestibule of the main building on Šafárik Square. It is part of an effort to improve amenities for students and to create spaces on university premises where they can spend leisure time beyond their studies. In the jubilee year, CU is cooperating with the Starmus international festival, which brings together world personalities of science and art. Its seventh year will be held in Bratislava, and will host Nobel Prize laureates and a number of musicians.]]> [RUK] Tlačové správy [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky Pre študentov Pre zamestnancov [RUK] Tlačové správy EN pr@uniba.sk Mon, 18 Sep 2023 15:44:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ on November 2, 2023 (Thursday) and November 3, 2023 (Friday) Announcement - Rector’s  and Dean´s day off In the name of the Rector Comenius University Bratislava prof.

The transformation of regular expressions into finite automata: old and new results
Abstract:
Not many results in Computer Science are recognised to be as basic and fundamental as Kleene Theorem. It states the equality of two sets of objects that we call now languages. A slight change of focus on this result shows how it is essentially the combination of two families of algorithms: algorithms that transform a finite automaton into a regular expression on one hand and algorithms that build a finite automaton from a regular expression on the other. In this talk, I shall consider the algorithms of the latter family, a much laboured subject of both theoretical and practical interests. I shall present three different constructions, classically attributed to Thompson, Glushkov, and Brzozowski-Antimirov respectively, and their relationships. We shall then see how the extension of Kleene Theorem beyond languages: to subsets of arbitrary monoids first and second to subsets with multiplicity, leads to a modification of the construction for the first one and to a radical transformation of the proof for the third. All recent results were obtained in joint works with Sylvain Lombardy. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Rastislav.Kralovic@fmph.uniba.sk Mon, 18 Sep 2023 10:40:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ 25 September 2023 at 2:30 p. m. in the Ladziansky Auditorium at Faculty of Medicine, Comenius... Lobat Tayebi from Marquette University School of Dentistry Milwaukee, USA. The lecture Advances in Biomaterials and 3D Printing for Regenerative Dentistry will take place on 25 September 2023 at 2:30 p. m. in the Ladziansky Auditorium at Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University Bratislava. The number of places is limited, please, register here. The lecture is given by Lobat Tayebi, a professor and director of research at the Marquette University School of Dentistry. ProfessorTayebi is an expert in biomaterials and 3D printing, and her laboratory is at the forefront of research in regenerative dentistry. If you are interested in learning more about the future of regenerative dentistry, you have a unique opportunity just now.  Professor Tayebi and her team are using a variety of biomaterials, including polymers, ceramics, and metals, to create customized implants and scaffolds for tissue regeneration. They are also developing new 3D printing techniques that can be used to create more complex and realistic structures.The goal of their research is to develop new therapies that can repair or replace damaged or missing dental tissues. The research presented in the lecture is still in the early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we treat dental diseases. With further research, these technologies could be used to treat a wide range of dental problems, from cavities to gum disease to missing teeth. The lecture is held under the supervision of the Vice Dean for Dentistry, Assoc. Prof. Andrej Thurzo, MD., PhD., MPH, MHA.]]> [RUK] Kalendár [LF] Titulka - široké novinky pr@uniba.sk Tue, 19 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0200
