1. Legal regulation of MAR and their impact on the child's right to origin disclosure – a slovenian perspectiveSuzana Kraljić, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Having a child remains one of the fundamental values of life for individuals. However, many individuals and couples face difficulties in conceiving a child naturally. The rapid development of medicine—in particular, reproductive medicine—has brought hope and the realisation of the desire to have a child to individuals and couples who, in the past, would have remained childless. Artificial reproductive technologies have been developed, enabling the conception of a child who is genetically related to both parents, as well as a child whose conception involves a third party (e.g., a gamete donor, surrogate mother, or mitochondrial parent). The rapid development of reproductive medicine also requires appropriate legal regulations. In particular, issues relating to the right to disclosure of persons conceived with donated gametes and the related right to know the (genetic) origin have been raised in recent years. Many legislations, including that of Slovenia, still lean more toward maintaining donor anonymity, with possible exceptions (e.g., medical reasons), primarily regarding access to nonidentifying information about the donors. While Slovenian legislation emphasises the right of the child to information on their origin, it limits this to essential medical information and does not include personal data about the donor. This paper discusses possible amendments to existing Slovenian legislation in light of defining a child's right to origin disclosure and balancing the interests of the other parties involved.

2. Children's right to privacy in the virtual world of appsSuzana Kraljić, Ema Turnšek, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The world has become increasingly globalized, with the exchange of goods and services spanning continents, often leading to clashes between differently regulated legal systems. A prominent example of such a conflict arises in the context of digital health applications and the processing of personal data within them. Although in the sense of human rights, the rights to privacy and data protection are guaranteed to every person with numerous national and international legal acts, and secondary law and sectoral legislation that delves into this field. In Europe, personal health data are mainly regulated with GDPR, whereas in US the field is fragmented and regulated by sectoral regulations. The issue occurs when we deal with the protection of personal health data in the virtual world of health apps, which in the US remains in the grey zone without proper legal safeguards. US HIPAA, which governs personal health data at the federal level, does not protect all data provided to a health app, not even data provided to unlicensed counsel offering services through it.

3. Varstvo podatkov in pravice potrošnikov v digitalnem marketinguMirjana Založnik, 2025, magistrsko delo Opis: Magistrska naloga raziskuje varstvo osebnih podatkov in pravice potrošnikov v kontekstu digitalnega trženja, področja, kjer hitra rast spletnih storitev in obdelava osebnih podatkov postavljata zasebnost v ospredje razprav. V teoretičnem delu smo analizirali ključne evropske zakonodajne akte – Splošno uredbo o varstvu podatkov (GDPR), Zakon o digitalnih storitvah (DSA), Zakon o digitalnih trgih (DMA), Zakon o upravljanju podatkov (DGA) in Zakon o podatkih (Data Act), ki skupaj predstavljajo temelje za pregledno, odgovorno in pošteno obravnavo osebnih podatkov v digitalnem okolju.
Empirični del temelji na anketi med 108 potrošniki in se osredotoča na njihovo ozaveščenost o pravicah, izkušnje s kršitvami ter odnos do obdelave osebnih podatkov. Rezultati kažejo, da potrošniki poznajo predvsem osnovne vidike GDPR, medtem ko novejši akti in celoten nabor pravic ostajajo večini neznani. Zakonodajo pogosto zaznavajo kot zapleteno, kar zmanjšuje njihovo pripravljenost na ukrepanje ob kršitvah. Večina se ob zaznanih nepravilnostih ne odloči za formalno pravno varstvo, saj jim primanjkuje jasnih informacij, zaupanja v učinkovitost sistema ali občutijo, da situacija ni dovolj resna.
Kljub temu raziskava potrjuje, da zasebnost ni zgolj formalno zapisana v zakonodaji, temveč jo potrošniki razumejo kot ključen element zaupanja v digitalno okolje. Pogosto se odločijo, da določenih storitev ne bodo uporabljali, kadar menijo, da podjetja preveč posegajo v njihove osebne podatke. To nakazuje, da so potrošniki zasebnost pripravljeni braniti tudi z lastnimi odločitvami, čeprav redko ukrepajo po formalnih pravnih poteh.
Naloga tako pokaže, da je evropski zakonodajni okvir sicer obsežen in napreden, a njegova učinkovitost v praksi ostaja omejena zaradi nizke ravni ozaveščenosti, nepreglednosti pravil in pomanjkanja enostavnih mehanizmov za uveljavljanje pravic. Potrošniki ob tem jasno izražajo pričakovanja po večji preglednosti, strožjem izvrševanju zakonodaje ter širšem ozaveščanju in izobraževanju. Magistrsko delo zato poudarja potrebo po celovitem pristopu, ki združuje pravne, regulatorne in izobraževalne ukrepe ter zagotavlja ravnovesje med razvojem digitalnega marketinga in zaščito temeljnih pravic posameznika.

4. Automated speech analysis in depressive disorder: enhancing diagnosis and monitoringAljaž Neuberg, 2025, magistrsko delo Opis: This paper investigates the automatic recognition of depression by integrating acoustic, linguistic and emotional features extracted from clinical interviews in the DAIC-WOZ dataset. A total of six classical machine learning classifiers such as Decision Tree, Random Forest, SVM, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost and XGBoost were systematically evaluated under different class balancing methods (such as SMOTE, SMOTETomek and Random Undersampling) and feature selection strategies. The best model, a decision tree classifier with SMOTE-based balancing and a feature selection technique, achieved a weighted F1 score and accuracy of 0.78 with only eight selected features. These features included all three modalities, demonstrating the
added benefit of a multimodal approach. The results suggest that even relatively simple models, when supported by careful preprocessing and dimensionality reduction, can provide accurate and interpretable predictions. This work emphasizes the importance of feature engineering and balancing techniques in clinical machine learning tasks and lays the foundation for future research on scalable and explainable depression detection systems.

5. What can artificial intelligence do for soil health in agriculture?Stefan Schweng, Luca Bernardini, Katharina Keiblinger, Peter Kaul, Iztok Fister, Niko Lukač, Javier Del Ser, Andreas Holzinger, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into soil research presents significant opportunities to advance the understanding, management, and conservation of soil ecosystems. This paper reviews the diverse applications of AI in soil health assessment, predictive modeling of soil properties, and the development of pedotransfer functions within the context of agriculture, emphasizing AI’s advantages over traditional analytical methods. We identify soil organic matter decline, compaction, and biodiversity loss as the most frequently addressed forms of soil degradation. Strong trends include the creation of digital soil maps, particularly for soil organic carbon and chemical properties using remote sensing or easily measurable proxies, as well as the development of decision support systems for crop rotation planning and IoT-based monitoring of soil health and crop performance. While random forest models dominate, support vector machines and neural networks are also widely applied for soil parameter modeling. Our analysis of datasets reveals clear regional biases, with tropical, arid, mild continental, and polar tundra climates remaining underrepresented despite their agricultural relevance. We also highlight gaps in predictor–response combinations for soil property modeling, pointing to promising research avenues such as estimating heavy metal content from soil mineral nitrogen content, microbial biomass, or earthworm abundance. Finally, we provide practical guidelines on data preparation, feature extraction, and model selection. Overall, this study synthesizes recent advances, identifies methodological limitations, and outlines a roadmap for future research, underscoring AI’s transformative potential in soil science.

7. Protection of workers in relation to the use of artificial intelligence in the workplaceAsja Lešnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on all stages of the employment relationship and analyses whether the current legal framework adequately protects workers from the risks posed by the use of AI in the workplace. The focus is on Slovenian labour law, while also considering relevant international and EU legal sources such as the AI Act, the Directive on Improving Working Conditions in Platform Work, the GDPR, and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The author addresses legal challenges including discrimination, data protection, privacy, occupational safety and health, and liability for damages. The article finds that while some protective mechanisms already exist, none of the analysed legal sources comprehensively regulate AI use in employment relationships. To ensure effective worker protection, the author argues for either the amendment of current laws or the adoption of dedicated legislation. Since AI will play an even more significant role in Labour Law in the future, it is crucial for the law to adapt in a timely manner to the new challenges posed by AI.

8. The role of intelligent data analysis in selected endurance sports : a systematic literature reviewAlen Rajšp, Patrik Rek, Peter Kokol, Iztok Fister, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: In endurance sports, athletes and coaches shift increasingly from intuition-based decisionmaking to data-driven approaches powered by modern technology and analytics. Since 2018, the field has experienced significant advances, influencing endurance sports disciplines. This systematic literature review identified 75 peer-reviewed studies on intelligent data analysis in endurance sports training. Each study was categorized by its intelligent method (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, computational intelligence), the types of sensors and wearables used, and the specific training application and approach. Our synthesis reveals that machine learning and deep learning are among the most used approaches, with running and cycling identified as the most extensively studied sports. Physiological and environmental data, such as heart rate, biomechanical signals, and GPS, are often used to aid in generating personalized training plans, predicting injuries, and increasing athletes’ long-term performance. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, related to data quality and the small participant sample sizes.

9. A novel framework for unification of association rule miningRahul Sharma, Minakshi Kaushik, Sijo Arakkal Peious, Alexandre Bazin, Syed Attique Shah, Iztok Fister, Sadok Ben Yahia, Dirk Draheim, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Statistical reasoning was one of the earliest methods to draw insights from data. However, over the last three decades, association rule mining and online analytical processing have gained massive ground in practice and theory. Logically, both association rule mining and online analytical processing have some common objectives, but they have been introduced with their own set of mathematical formalizations and have developed their specific terminologies. Therefore, it is difficult to reuse results from one domain in another. Furthermore, it is not easy to unlock the potential of statistical results in their application scenarios. The target of this paper is to bridge the artificial gaps between association rule mining, online analytical processing and statistical reasoning. We first provide an elaboration of the semantic correspondences between their foundations, i.e., itemset apparatus, relational algebra and probability theory. Subsequently, we propose a novel framework for the unification of association rule mining, online analytical processing and statistical reasoning. Additionally, an instance of the proposed framework is developed by implementing a sample decision support tool. The tool is compared with a state-of-the-art decision support tool and evaluated by a series of experiments using two real data sets and one synthetic data set. The results of the tool validate the framework for the unified usage of association rule mining, online analytical processing, and statistical reasoning. The tool clarifies in how far the operations of association rule mining and online analytical processing can complement each other in understanding data, data visualization and decision making.

10. The protection of sensitive personal data and privacy in the US and EU with a focus on health data circulating through health appsEma Turnšek, Suzana Kraljić, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In today’s modern world, we have more than one global actor leading the economy and rapid technological development. The article focuses specifically on the right to sensitive data protection, or more broadly the right to privacy, in American and in EU legal system. This paper shows distinctions between the two and systematically demonstrates the protection of personal data in EU through years. Exploring these distinctions and different interpretations of the right to data protection is significant, because of the potential impacts on the consumer in particular, possibly resulting in being granted different rights when acquiring services in the EU or America. We will also analyse the fundamental legal acts, which are the cornerstones of data privacy. As its main focus, the article will also examine the provisions concerning sensitive personal data, in particular health data. Furthermore, the article will study some specific concerns in connection to the American smart phone, smartwatch and computer health apps that are not fully compliant with basic EU legal principles, human rights or the General Data Protection Regulation. While the technology is so advanced and users may access these apps from anywhere across the world, such apps, and their privacy policies or other typical contracts, should comply with the relevant legislation, valid in the state of user’s nationality or remaining. The paper examines and substantiates the latter through two recent cases. In one, data breaches were punished by imposing a relatively high fine, and in the other case example, no punitive action was yet taken. That being said, the article argues the insufficient data protection framework that does not necessarily provide a consumer with appropriate safeguards, which is especially relevant in cases of transmission of personal health data.
