Abstract: In an era marked by heightened concerns surrounding personal privacy and data security, software self-hosting has gained significance as a means for individuals and organizations to reclaim control over their digital assets. This systematic review aims to identify relevant research gaps in the quantitative analysis of self-hosting, primarily focusing on studies employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and regression techniques. Employing a refined version of the Systematic Mapping Process, we analyzed 49 quantitative research papers whose concepts were grouped into 12 substantive groups. The findings reveal a predominant concentration on constructs related to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), with limited exploration of self-hosting specifically, overshadowed by an emphasis on cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and privacy aspects. Our review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature and highlights the need for more focused research on self-hosting itself. This systematic review serves as a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners aimed at advancing the discourse on self-hosting.

Abstract: The case of Benedik v. Slovenia is a perfect example of the complexity between the right to privacy and covert investigative measures carried out by law enforcement in the digital age. Thus, this thesis aims to precisely explain the legislation governing the right to privacy under both internal law and the European Convention on Human Rights, with a particular emphasis on covert investigative measures. By exploring and defining the legal frameworks that protect the privacy rights of individuals, we aim to clarify the balance between state surveillance powers and individuals' privacy rights. The study systematically shows the evolution and current state of the legal provisions regarding covert investigative measures in Slovenia. The main focus of this thesis is the legal proceedings in the case of Benedik v. Slovenia. It serves as a prism through which the complexities of privacy protection, specifically, electronic privacy are analyzed in the context of data disclosure and internet usage. The study examines the legal proceedings at all court instances, including Kranj District Court, Ljubljana Higher Court, Supreme Court, and Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia leading to a complaint that the applicant, Benedik, filed at the Strasbourg Court. The later ruling of the European Court of Human Rights addressed the interaction between domestic laws and international human rights norms in detail. An in-depth understanding of how covert investigative measures are integrated with the right to privacy is provided through an analysis of the arguments made, the legal reasoning used by the courts, and the verdicts issued. This thesis's comprehensive explanation offers valuable insights into the balance between state surveillance needs and the protection of individuals' right to privacy, highlighting the complexities of these issues in the modern digital age.

Abstract: In an employment relationship, work and pay are no longer the only important aspects, as importance is increasingly shifting toward obligations concerning the protection of personal data and privacy arising from the prohibition of causing harm to the employer and the duty of loyalty to the employer. The article deals with the constitutionally protected right to privacy and the protection of personal data from the point of view of ensuring cyber security at the employer. The employer is obligated to protect the right to privacy by legal provisions, whereas from the point of view of ensuring the protection of privacy and information, the employer must protect, first and foremost, the personal data of employees. The main purpose of the legal protection of personal data is the lawful and fair processing of the personal data of individuals. Employers are thus facing an increasing number of risks related to the safety of employees and the security of business processes, and it is therefore important to establish comprehensive corporate security to ensure adequate security across all levels.

Abstract: Health-related personal data belong to a category of sensitive data which, therefore, must be specially protected. The protection of personal health data is one of the patients´ fundamental rights. Doctors protect their patients´ interests only when the information gained about patients, while providing them medical treatment, are kept secret. In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the legal framework for the protection of health-related personal data in the legal system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to the analysis of the relevant legal provisions and considering the situation in practice, it can be concluded that formal harmonisation of legislation with the acquis communautaire in this field is not followed by effective implementation of regulation in practice.

Abstract: This article will address the rules of EU private international law regarding the international jurisdiction in defamation and the violations of the right to privacy committed via the internet. Being that there is no common conflict of laws rule regarding these issues and a number of different courts hold jurisdiction, great efforts are being taken to prevent the so called "forum shopping", or, as regards to defamation, "libel tourism". It is namely very hard to strike a fair balance between the procedural rights of both parties, since this is strongly connected with striking a balance between the freedom of speech, on one hand, and personality rights, on the other, all of which are fundamental rights. During the internet era, the problems regarding cross-border issues on defamation and privacy cases rose to a whole new dimension. The interpretation of the traditional connecting factor, the place where the harmful event occurred, became very difficult. Over the years, the Court of Justice of the EU has issued several milestone judgments interpreting Article 7(2) of the Brussels I Recast Regulation in such a way that the particularities of violations committed via the internet are taken into account.
