"Flu deaths are preventable. One of the ways of doing this is to motivate healthcare professionals to spread awareness among the population-at-risk. And, naturally, to lead by example," says the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Comenius University Ján Klimas, who received a flu shot in October. In Slovakia, a single flu vaccine shot costs €11.16 and is fully covered by the public health insurance. More than 308,000 doses were administered in the 2020/21 season. The total cost of these vaccines to the public health insurance system, excluding the charge for administration to the patient, was just under EUR 3.5 million. On the other hand, according to a study by the University of Genoa, published in 2012 in the journal Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, the cost of treating influenza was €940 in patients aged 18-65 and €1,270 in patients aged 65+. Similarly, according to a 2020 research published by the Dutch Centre for Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology and Surveillance, and the Centre for Infectious Disease Control in The European Journal of Health Economics, the average cost of hospitalisation of a flu patient in the Netherlands was between €6,100 and €8,300, representing €20-28 million per year. In 2008, the loss of productivity due to influenza (i.e. indirect costs) was estimated by the Pharmacoeconomics magazine at between €6.4 and €9.8 billion per year in France and Germany alone. According to more recent data presented in a 2019 report of the International Longevity Centre UK, a British think-tank, more than 90 million people aged 50+ contract the flu every year, mostly in the more prosperous countries, leading to a loss of some 159 million working days, worth an estimated €33 billion. According to the World Health Organisation, vaccination is one of the most effective tools in combating the spread of the influenza virus. A vaccinated person protects others, in addition to protecting themselves. Healthcare professionals, who are in daily contact with patients, should particularly be vaccinated. Likewise, medical students who train in health care facilities, should get vaccinated. They would protect their patients, as well as themselves. ]]> [RUK] Tlačové správy [RUK] Tlačové správy EN [RUK] Titulka - široké novinky pr@uniba.sk Mon, 11 Oct 2021 08:15:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ The goal of the project is to support further teacher education by sharing innovative forms,...

Project funding: KEGA 014UK-4/2020
Project duration: 2020-2022  The goal of the project is to support further teacher education by sharing innovative forms, methods, and materials with the contribution of an active teacher community.  Currently, there are several web pages for Slovak mathematics teachers where they can share and find educational materials. Such websites offer quick access to some materials. However, there is a lack of guaranty of the didactical quality of these materials – their score is determined mainly by subjective opinions of the website’s visitors, then by expert evaluation and review. Another disadvantage of these websites is the absence of search according to specific criteria (e.g., ISCED levels, national curriculum standards).  This project aims to create open access online depository of educational resources for teaching mathematics, sorted systematically according to ISCED levels and according to mathematical topics contained in the national curriculum.  Apart from educational resources, we aim to support mathematics teachers in Slovakia by developing an active community of mathematics teachers with active connections to university educators and researchers. The community will be supported by: 

• annual organization of a professional conference "Two days with didactics of mathematics",
• supporting teacher education through innovative forms, methods, and materials, with an active community of mathematics teachers in Slovakia,
• publishing verified materials for teaching mathematics to secondary schools.

"Success in the rankings alone has never been the primary goal for us. Nevertheless, I was very pleased by this appreciation of our work. It is a great honour for us to be one of the top three universities in Czech and Slovak republics together with Charles University and CTU, and in the best four in V4 region, together with the University of Warsaw. We strive to improve and it is great that our efforts are noticed by the outside world," says Comenius University Rector Marek Števček. The 2021 Three University Missions ranking evaluated 1,650 higher education institutions from 97 countries and territories short-listed from more than 2,000 institutions from 119 countries. Comenius University ranked 272nd in this edition, which is its second best ranking since 2018, when it was first evaluated. The ranking focuses on three areas: Education 45%, Research 25%, and University and Society 30%. No subjective surveys are used in the evaluation process. The project uses data and metrics from InCites by Clarivate Analytics, which manages the prestigious Current Contents database and the Global Institutional Profiles Project (GIPP). In 2018 the ranking was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit.

Circular flow number of Goldberg snarks
Abstract:
A circular nowhere-zero r-flow on a bridgeless graph G is an orientation of the edges and an assignment of real values from [1, r-1] to the edges in such a way that the sum of incoming values equals the sum of outgoing values for every vertex. The circular flow number of G is the infimum over all values $r$ such that $G$ admits a nowhere-zero $r$-flow. We prove that the circular flow number of Goldberg snark G_{2k+1} is 4+1/(k+1), proving a conjecture of Goedgebeur, Mattiolo, and Mazzuoccolo [J.~Goedgebeur, D.~Mattiolo, G.~Mazzuoccolo: \emph{Computational results and new bounds for the circular flow number of snarks}, Discrete Mathematics 343 (2020), 112026.]. Besides this, we discuss computational aspects of circular flows. We describe an efficient way how to reformulate the problem of determining the circular flow number as a mixed linear programing problem. We review computational results obtained by this approach.

Matej Badin from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of Comenius University Bratislava and SISSA Trieste. The project introduces an innovative method of simulating transformations of solids under pressure. "Not all substances around us are in equilibrium. One example is the diamond in an engagement ring, which should not even exist at room temperature and pressure - it should revert back to pencil lead – graphite. Both forms are just different representations of the same element – carbon. In my presentation, I attempted to explain a new computational method developed by me and my tutor, which allows - among other things - to look for other such substances which are out of equilibrium. They could have a huge potential for practical use, like a diamond has," says the prize winner Matej Badin. The second place was awarded to Mgr. Olivier Monfort, PhD. from the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University Bratislava, whose project focuses on the use of photochemistry in wastewater treatment. The jury awarded third place to MVDr. Marek Ratvaj from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice for his project of an innovative probiotic feed which could replace the use of pharmaceuticals in fish farming. Falling Walls Lab Slovakia is a part of an international format that gives recognition to projects of exceptional young innovators from various scientific fields. The winner of Falling Walls Lab Slovakia 2021 will represent Slovakia in the international finale at which 100 participants from the whole world will compete in the category "Emerging Talents". They will present their research, initiative or business model in front of a jury composed of top scientists, innovators and business people. The winner will receive "The Breakthrough Winner" award coupled with a financial prize and, above all, the opportunity to present their entry on the main stage of the prestigious Falling Walls Conference which takes place on 7 November in Berlin. For the fourth year, the Slovak finale was organized by Comenius University Bratislava in cooperation with the Learned Society of Slovakia (www.learned.sk) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD, www.daad.de). Academic partners included the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Slovak University of Technology, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, the Technical University in Košice, the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice, the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, the University of Žilina and the Technical University in Zvolen. The event was held under the auspices of MUDr. Ľudovít Paulis, PhD., MPH, State Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic.
