1. Are we ready to use microchip implants? : an international crosssectional studyAnja Žnidaršič, Alenka Baggia, Jakub Fischer, Maciej Rostanski, Borut Werber, Antonín Pavlíček, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Background and purpose: Despite their clear relevance to human life, microchip implants are still widely viewed as negative, threatening our privacy and raising growing concerns about our health. This paper aims to investigate the important factors influencing people’s perception of microchip implants and their willingness to use them for different purposes.
Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted in three European countries and the data were analysed using the group Structural Equation Modeling approach. Only complete answers to the online survey questionnaire items were used representing a convenience sample of 804 respondents.
Results: The results show that perceived ease of use, usefulness and perceived trust are significant predictors of intention to use microchip implants. Perceived trust is influenced by privacy and technology safety. Concerns about painful procedures and other health concerns reduce the perceived usefulness of microchip implants. Apart from the predictor health concerns, the results were similar in all countries.
Conclusion: Based on the presented results, researchers interested in investigating the actual use of microchip implants can establish a solid foundation for their research. The results may assist policy makers in developing the regulations to ensure the safe use of microchip implants and allow for a higher level of security. As a follow-up, investigation of changes in the acceptance of microchip implants following the threat of a global pandemic is proposed.

2. Indoor mapping and navigation using geographic information systemsGoran Sekirarski, 2016, bachelor thesis/paper Abstract: This study present proposal work with prototypes that use Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and NFC technology for indoor navigation using mobile device with help by using geographic information system to create geotagged maps to building in this diploma thesis. The study used an experimental approach with open source software and hardware engineering tools and technologies which minimized cost. A preliminary experiment with RFID and NFC tools helped to understand the compatibility of certain RFID infrastructure with NFC and helped to determine if and how NFC could be used. The capability of NFC in leveraging its low-cost infrastructure of passive tags, its embedment in mobile devices and the ubiquity of the mobile device provided a cost effective solution with good accuracy.

3. PRESKUS PRIMERNOSTI NFC V SISTEMU ZA REGISTRACIJO ČASADavid Sakelšek, 2009, undergraduate thesis Abstract: V nalogi smo preučili primernost tehnologije NFC (Near Field Communication) na primeru razvoja sistema za registracijo dela. Opisali smo glavne tehnološke značilnosti te tehnologije. Podana je primerjava z ostalimi brezžicnimi tehnologijami kot so Bluetooth, WiFi in 3G. V nalogi je razvita aplikacija MobileTime, ki uporablja NFC za registracijo dogodkov. Razvit je strežniški in odjemalski modul rešitve. Preskus je pokazal, da tehnologija ustreza poslovnim zahtevam, omejitev pa je majhno število mobilnih odjemalcev z vgrajenim vezjem NFC.
