Spatial 3D surface modeling is currently effective and relatively new element in the teaching of geography. Although this form is not sufficiently widespread in schools. A frequent argument resides mainly in the lack of software tools of school classrooms. Our objective is therefore to bring 3D modeling options available also for the low level software tools provided with combining form with the classical methods of work with the map. Although the output of MS Excel doesn´t achieve the quality output like specialized software, but for educational purposes are entirely satisfactory.

In addition, we detected the absolute number of establishments owned by foreigners and their location, dealing with the analysis of concrete structures, business and economic activities of foreigners in the model area. Through the field research was also detected the generic focus of business activities, number of employees and employment foreigners and their country of origin (owners and employees).

The threat of clogging an exotic illnesses and their infiltration to the local level is one of the most persistent prejudices of native population against foreigners. So it is necessary to pay attention to this issue. The relevance of these prejudices are often not supported by real data and information and this conductive the sketched stereotype. So the aim of this paper is to analyze the real situation of the indicators of health status of foreigners in asylum center of Ministry of Interior Slovak Republic in Humenné town in selected years and also point to the (non) validity of hidden prejudices of native population against foreigners at present.

Research was conducted on the model territory-Humenné town, where was placed an asylum center of Ministry of Interior Slovak Republic. Opening of an asylum center brought to majority people many doubts, fear and prejudices. The aim of the research was to determine through perceptive research the current opinions and attitudes and also examine the (in) validity of hidden prejudices of majority towards to foreigners who are placed in the local asylum center.

Attention is focuses primarily on immigrants and their activities in period after Slovakia became part of the European Union and in the current period affected by global economic crisis.

Cerebrospinal fluid diversion via ventriculoperitoneal shunt may be used as a therapeutic modality. Herein, we describe the first report of cytologic findings of a case of this neoplasm with shuntrelated peritoneal metastasis. Case presentation: A 19-year-old male presented with a 6-month history of severe headaches. He had bilateral papilledema on physical exam. Cerebrospinal fluid examination was negative. Four months later a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed. Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis based on the biopsy of an intradural extramedullary lesion adjacent to the lumbar spinal cord at a referral cancer center. The histology featured an infiltrating growth pattern of pleomorphic astrocytes with diffuse positivity for glial fibrillary acidic protein. A couple of months later he presented at our institution with ascites and an anterior peritoneal mass. Repeat cerebrospinal fluid cytology and fine needle aspiration of the mass confirmed disseminated gliomatosis. Cytologic characteristics included clusters of anaplastic cells of variable size, high nuclear to cytoplasm ratio and scant to moderate cytoplasm. Occasional single bizarre multinucleated cells were seen with eccentric "partial wreath-like" nuclei, clumped chromatin and prominent nucleoli. Patient expired 13 months after initial presentation. Conclusion: Disseminated primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic aseptic meningitis and in the presence of a peritoneal tumor in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Immunocytochemistry may be of diagnostic value.

More significant changes directly correlate with changes in political orientation of Slovak Republic and were closely linked with the effects of integration, optimalization and processes of applications at the European policy of our country.
