11. Advanced Quantitative Research Methods in NursingLucija Gosak, Leona Cilar Budler, Roger Watson, Gregor Štiglic, 2024 Opis: The publication "Analysis of quantitative research data in nursing research: A guide to SPSS" provides nursing students and nurses with the knowledge and skills to interpret the different statistical methods in their field, which can improve users' skills in collecting, analysing and interpreting results from clinical practice, thus contributing to improving the quality of health care. It provides detailed instructions on how to use IBM SPSS and perform statistical analyses that nurses need to be familiar with as they use and generate data in their daily work with patients. The main aim of patient care is to provide high quality, evidence-based care, so nurses have a duty to keep up to date with the latest research and evidence and apply it to their work. The knowledge gained in this book can also help nurses to better understand and interpret previously published results, and thus critically assess the validity and reliability of the results they will use in clinical practice.

12. Disaggregated data on age and sex for the first 250 days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bucharest, RomaniaMarian-Gabriel Hâncean, Maria Cristina Ghiţǎ, Matjaž Perc, Jürgen Lerner, Iulian Oană, Bianca-Elena Mihǎilǎ, Adelina Alexandra Stoica, David-Andrei Bunaciu, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Experts worldwide have constantly been calling for high-quality open-access epidemiological data, given the fast-evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disaggregated high-level granularity records are still scant despite being essential to corroborate the effectiveness of virus containment measures and even vaccination strategies. We provide a complete dataset containing disaggregated epidemiological information about all the COVID-19 patients officially reported during the first 250 days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bucharest (Romania). We give the sex, age, and the COVID-19 infection confirmation date for 46.440 individual cases, between March 7th and November 11th, 2020. Additionally, we provide context-wise information such as the stringency levels of the measures taken by the Romanian authorities. We procured the data from the local public health authorities and systemized it to respond to the urgent international need of comparing observational data collected from various populations. Our dataset may help understand COVID-19 transmission in highly dense urban communities, perform virus spreading simulations, ascertain the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions, and craft better vaccination strategies.

14. Performance-oriented UWB RTLS decision-making approachSimona Šinko, Enej Marinič, Blaž Poljanec, Matevž Obrecht, Brigita Gajšek, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: When introducing new technologies, companies are repeatedly faced with choosing between solutions from different providers. Regardless of all the good technical characteristics of the technology, if it is chosen inappropriately, it can prove to be a cost driver instead of something that brings added value to the system. Aware of this, we considered selecting a real-time location system (RTLS) based on Ultra-wideband technology in the indoor work environment. In practice and theory, it has been proven that the introduction of the RTLS can have highly positive effects on performance and business sustainability indicators. When reviewing the literature, it was noticed that authors solely focus on the technical properties of the systems and prices when giving guidelines on selecting the optimal RTLS. This article aims to provide advanced guidelines for UWB RTLS selection, proposing a phased selection process which is the main novelty proposed and investigated in this research. The guidelines are based on fragmented recommendations in the scientific literature that have been identified, gathered, considered, and reasonably allocated to the advanced performance-oriented phased selection process. In practice, this approach enables decision-makers to choose the most efficient and most appropriate UWB RTLS for specific logistics systems.

16. Categorisation of open government data literatureAljaž Ferencek, Mirjana Kljajić Borštnar, Ajda Pretnar Žagar, 2022, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Background: Due to the emerging global interest in Open Government Data, research papers on various topics in this area have increased.
Objectives: This paper aims to categorise Open government data research.
Methods/Approach: A literature review was conducted to provide a complete overview and classification of open government data research. Hierarchical clustering, a cluster analysis method, was used, and a hierarchy of clusters on selected data sets emerged.
Results: The results of this study suggest that there are two distinct clusters of research, which either focus on government perspectives and policies on OGD, initiatives, and portals or focus on regional studies, adoption of OGD, platforms, and barriers to implementation. Further findings suggest that research gaps could be segmented into many thematic areas, focusing on success factors, best practices, the impact of open government data, barriers/challenges in implementing open government data, etc.
Conclusions: The extension of the paper, which was first presented at the Entrenova conference, provides a comprehensive overview of research to date on the implementation of OGD and points out that this topic has already received research attention, which focuses on specific segments of the phenomenon and signifies in which direction new research should be made.

17. Cyber (in)security of personal data and information in times of digitizationMiha Dvojmoč, Mojca Tancer Verboten, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

19. A review of federated learning in agricultureKrista Rizman Žalik, Mitja Žalik, 2023, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Federated learning (FL), with the aim of training machine learning models using data and computational resources on edge devices without sharing raw local data, is essential for improving agricultural management and smart agriculture. This study is a review of FL applications that address various agricultural problems. We compare the types of data partitioning and types of FL (horizontal partitioning and horizontal FL, vertical partitioning and vertical FL, and hybrid partitioning and transfer FL), architectures (centralized and decentralized), levels of federation (cross-device and cross-silo), and the use of aggregation algorithms in different reviewed approaches and applications of FL in agriculture. We also briefly review how the communication challenge is solved by different approaches. This work is useful for gaining an overview of the FL techniques used in agriculture and the progress made in this field.
