11. The “objective test” and the downstream market presence requirement in Big Data access cases under the essential facilities doctrine - a critical assessmentRok Dacar, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: One possible way to gain access to competitively relevant sets of Big Data is toapply the essential facilities doctrine. However, the European Commission and theEuropean Court of Justice have established several different criteria for applying thedoctrine. Since neither institution has yet applied the doctrine in Big Data accesscases, it is not clear which of the criteria applies in such positions. This paper attemptsto analyze the impact of the “objective test” and the requirement that the controllingcompany be active in the downstream market (which are included in all assessmentcriteria) in Big Data access cases, with the goal of answering the research question,“Do the application of the “objective test” and the requirement that the controllingcompany be active in the downstream market impede the effectiveness of the doctrinein Big Data access cases under EU competition law, and if so, how should they bechanged?” The conclusion is that in Big Data access cases, the “objective test” shouldbe mitigated and replaced by the “subjective test” or the “average company test” andthe requirement that the controlling company be active in the downstream marketshould be discarded altogether in order for the doctrine to be an effective tool foraccessing competitively relevant sets of Big Data.

12. Cessante ratione legis, cessat ipsa lex? : data and privacy protection in the digitized energy sector amidst green and digital transformation processesZoran Dimović, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The ex ante regulation of green and digital transformation processes is set to significantly impact personal data and privacy protection in the digitalized energy sector. Although the drive for digitization aligns with EU values, goals, and objectives, it does not inherently ensure compliance with fundamental human rights. While general rules for personal data and privacy protection are sufficiently flexible to allow for appropriate interpretation, implementing sector-specific human rights regulations would enhance legal certainty. This is particularly crucial given the heightened sensitivity of the electricity sector compared to natural gas or heat. The observed lack of standardization in the digitalization of the energy sector is likely to become even more pronounced with the continued development of digital technologies. This increasing complexity underscores the need for comprehensive regulatory frameworks that address both the opportunities and challenges presented by the green and digital transformation. These considerations have significant implications for policymakers, academics, and legal practitioners. Understanding and addressing these issues is essential for ensuring that the transformation processes in the energy sector are conducted in a manner that respects personal data and privacy protection while advancing sustainable and digital innovation. The development of robust and specific regulations will be key to balancing these objectives and ensuring the protection of fundamental human rights in an increasingly digitalized energy landscape.

14. Digital transformation of health : towards the European health data spaceMaja Proso, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The European space for health data (EHDS) is the first European proposal for the arrangement of a specific area common to the entire EU. The main goals are enabling citizens to control and use their own health data, nationally and throughout the EU (primary use of health data), cross-border exchange of health data and building a single market for digital health services. A further goal is to create an effective legal framework for the use of health data for research and innovation purposes (secondary use of health data), as well as the establishment of electronic health records and the development of a health data management system. In the paper author presents the concept of health data privacy in digital age and analyses the current health data protection legal framework. The paper examines the provisions of the EHDS Proposal, critically analyising the proposed terms of primary and secondary use of health data, as well as it's rules on data portability and interoperability.

16. The right to privacy and data protection in European healthcare systems with an emphasis on the relevant case law and European legislationEma Turnšek, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Are personal data and information, which we trust entirely to healthcare systems, sufficiently protected? The article deals with the crossroads of law and medicine, specifically at the point where the right to data protection of a patient is being breached or insufficiently protected by law. In this regard, we have to first learn what is the actual scope of person’s right to (medical) data protection and second, understand when is that breached. The article analyses the origin of data protection and its historical development to find its core meaning. Further, it seeks the limits of data protection’s scope with the content of other related rights. With a comprehensive overview of European case law, the article exposes some serious violations of individual’s right to (medical) data protection.

17. Open government data topic modeling and taxonomy developmentAljaž Ferencek, Mirjana Kljajić Borštnar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: : The expectations for the (re)use of open government data (OGD) are high. However, measuring their impact remains challenging, as their effects are not solely economic
but also long-term and spread across multiple domains. To accurately assess these impacts,
we must first understand where they occur. This research presents a structured approach
to developing a taxonomy for open government data (OGD) impact areas using machine
learning-driven topic modeling and iterative taxonomy refinement. By analyzing a dataset
of 697 OGD use cases, we employed various machine learning techniques—including
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), and Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP)—to extract thematic categories and construct a structured
taxonomy. The final taxonomy comprises seven high-level dimensions: Society, Health,
Infrastructure, Education, Innovation, Governance, and Environment, each with specific
subdomains and characteristics. Our findings reveal that OGD’s impact extends beyond
governance and transparency, influencing education, sustainability, and public services.
Our approach provides a scalable and data-driven methodology for categorizing OGD impact areas compared to previous research that relies on predefined classifications or manual
taxonomies. However, the study has limitations, including a relatively small dataset, brief
use cases, and the inherent subjectivity of taxonomic classification, which requires further
validation by domain experts. This research contributes to the systematic assessment of
OGD initiatives and provides a foundational framework for policymakers and researchers
aiming to maximize the benefits of open data.

18. Uporaba metod strojnega učenja za klasifikacijo nalog po prioritetah v IT projektihTatyana Unuchak, Mirjana Kljajić Borštnar, Yauhen Unuchak, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Določanje prioritet in razvrščanje nalog še vedno predstavlja izziv pri učinkovitem vodenju projektov. Obstaja veliko klasičnih pristopov
za določanje prioritet. Vendar so te tehnike delovno intenzivne, subjektivne in neprilagodljive. V prispevku obravnavamo pristope za
samodejno določanje prioritet nalog v IT projektih, ki temeljijo na strojnem učenju. Raziskujemo, kako lahko z uporabo metod strojnega učenja pomagamo projektnim vodjem pri učinkovitejšem razvrščanju nalog v IT projektih. V ta namen smo na množici več kot
1000000 zapisov projektnih nalog razvili klasifikacijski model za samodejno določanje prioritet. Problem, ki smo ga obravnavali, je
večrazredni, pri tem je večina primerov, označenih z najvišjo prioriteto, kar predstavlja izziv pri modeliranju kot tudi pri učinkovitosti
upravljanja IT projektov. Preskusili smo različne algoritme ter različne pristope, s ciljem izboljšanja rezultatov klasifikacije. Pokazali
smo, da je naloge smiselno razvrstiti v manjše skupine prioritet, kar prispeva k večji natančnosti klasifikacijskega modela in preglednosti prioritet nalog, slednje pa lahko olajša upravljanje IT projektov.

19. Cross-cultural data on romantic love and mate preferences from 117,293 participants across 175 countriesMarta Kowal, Tina Kavčič, Maja Zupančič, Nejc Plohl, Bojan Musil, 2025, drugi znanstveni članki Opis: Psychological studies on close relationships have often overlooked cultural diversity, dynamic processes, and potentially universal principles that shape intimate partnerships. To address the limited generalizability of previous research and advance our understanding of romantic love experiences, mate preferences, and physical attractiveness, we conducted a large-scale cross-cultural survey study on these topics. A total of 404 researchers collected data in 45 languages from April to August 2021, involving 117,293 participants from 175 countries. Aside from standard demographic questions, the survey included valuable information on variables relevant to romantic relationships: intimate, passionate, and committed love within romantic relationships, physical-attractiveness enhancing behaviors, gender equality endorsement, collectivistic attitudes, personal history of pathogenic diseases, relationship quality, jealousy, personal involvement in sexual and/or emotional infidelity, relational mobility, mate preferences, and acceptance of sugar relationships. The resulting dataset provides a rich resource for investigating patterns within, and associations across, a broad range of variables relevant to romantic relationships, with extensive opportunities to analyze individual experiences worldwide.

20. Analysing the EU data privacy implications resulting from Executive Order 14086 : a legal perspectiveZoran Dimović, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The exchange of personal data between the EU and the USA has sparked intense debates and contentious discussions. This heightened attention can be attributed to significant disparities in data privacy regulations between the two regions, as well as mounting concerns surrounding the potential misuse of personal information by U.S. companies and government entities. In response to these concerns, the EU implemented the GDPR in 2018, which introduced stringent regulations aimed at safeguarding data privacy. Additionally, the GDPR imposed restrictions on the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU that lack comparable data protection measures. One of the prominent legal challenges in this context relates to concerns over the adequacy of data protection in the USA, particularly in light of U.S. surveillance programs and the potential for government access to personal data.
