31. Sustainable development goals and higher education : an efficiency analysisMaja Mihaljević Kosor, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Higher education (HE) is a significant factor in a country’s economic
prosperity and plays a vital role in addressing sustainability issues and
actively promoting sustainable development. While many EU member
countries have well-developed education systems in terms of rankings and
SDGs’ attainment, little is known about the progress of other European
countries. The goal of this research is to estimate the efficiency of higher
education in the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in
40 European countries. The method used to estimate efficiency is Data
Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with output-orientation and variable returns
to scale approach. In the final model specification, two input variables and
one output variable are used. Results indicate that the average technical
efficiency of the 40 European countries is relatively high and equal to 0.94.
Nine countries emerge as fully efficient in achieving SDG 4 with a coefficient
equal to 1. The four largest higher education systems achieved an aboveaverage efficiency score of 0.97 or higher. Six countries are recognized as
the worst performing. However, more analysis is necessary to examine the
sources of inefficiency in the worst-performing countries. Due to specific data
limitations indicated in this research, it remains a challenge to evaluate the
precise impact of higher education and its contribution to SDGs. Ključne besede: sustainable development goals (SDGs), higher education, data envelopment analysis, SDG4, European countries Objavljeno v DKUM: 28.05.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 7

32. EU Health Union : legal aspects and digital healthJasmina Cvahte, Andreja Primec, 2024, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Recurrent health crises and outbreaks of infectious diseases of international concern have created a specific EU public health policy. Its role was further strengthened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered the next stage in the integration process of the Member States: the European Health Union. The research is carried out using a literature review method (a review of literature and documents in the field of public health policy and the European Health Union) and a comparative-legal method for comparing EU legal acts on which the Health Union is based (endogenous comparison) and the legal acts of
EU and the Republic of Slovenia (exogenous comparison). The findings are examined using a qualitative content analysis method, which allows for meaningful aggregation and use of the data under study to answer the research questions. The European Health Union builds on and extends existing areas of public health and requires greater integration between Member States. One of its most essential pillars is a single information system with a single database to improve the health of individuals, resilience to cross-border health crises, patient mobility, and joint research on the most severe diseases. Member States, including Slovenia, must follow EU public health commitments. As the Slovenian legislative proposal analysis on the digitalization of healthcare shows, this challenging task will also require respect for the institute (safeguards) of other areas of law.

33. The OpenScience Slovenia metadata datasetMladen Borovič, Marko Ferme, Janez Brezovnik, Sandi Majninger, Albin Bregant, Goran Hrovat, Milan Ojsteršek, 2020, drugi znanstveni članki Opis: The OpenScience Slovenia metadata dataset contains metadata entries for Slovenian public domain academic documents which include undergraduate and postgraduate theses, research and professional articles, along with other academic document types. The data within the dataset was collected as a part of the establishment of the Slovenian Open-Access Infrastructure which defined a unified document collection process and cataloguing for universities in Slovenia within the infrastructure repositories. The data was collected from several already established but separate library systems in Slovenia and merged into a single metadata scheme using metadata deduplication and merging techniques. It consists of text and numerical fields, representing attributes that describe documents. These attributes include document titles, keywords, abstracts, typologies, authors, issue years and other identifiers such as URL and UDC. The potential of this dataset lies especially in text mining and text classification tasks and can also be used in development or benchmarking of content-based recommender systems on real-world data.

34. An algorithm for voxelised solids representation using chain codesBlaž Repnik, Libor Váša, Borut Žalik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The paper introduces a new method to describe the surfaces of voxelised solids. It operates in three stages: a hierarchical linked list of chain code sequences is created first; the linked lists are pruned; and, finally, the content of the data structure is stored. The method uses chain codes from either a three- or nine-symbols alphabet. In the first case, two chain code symbols are needed to access the next face, while, in the second case, this is done by one symbol. The pair of chain codes from the three-symbols alphabet, or the individual symbol from the nine-symbols alphabet are considered as tokens. The sets of tokens are, in both cases, extended by two tokens, indicating the beginning and ending of the list. The method processes solids of any shape, including those containing holes, cavities, or multiple components existing in the same voxel space. Edge-connectivity is permitted. The method was compared against the method proposed by Lemus et al., which is designed for solids without holes. Although supporting a broader set of voxelised solids, the proposed method generates sequences of tokens that are, on average, up to 10% shorter. Since the information entropy of the sequences of tokens produced by the proposed method is also smaller, the obtained sequences are more compressible, as confirmed by applying gzip and bzip2 data compressors.

35. LLM in the loop: a framework for contextualizing counterfactual segment perturbations in point cloudsVeljka Kočić, Niko Lukač, Dzemail Rozajac, Stefan Schweng, Christoph Gollob, Arne Nothdurft, Karl Stampfer, Javier Del Ser, Andreas Holzinger, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Point Cloud Data analysis has seen a major leap forward with the introduction of PointNet algorithms, revolutionizing how we process 3D environments. Yet, despite these advancements, key challenges remain, particularly in optimizing segment perturbations to influence model outcomes in a controlled and meaningful way. Traditional methods struggle to generate realistic and contextually appropriate perturbations, limiting their effectiveness in critical applications like autonomous systems and urban planning. This paper takes a bold step by integrating Large Language Models into the counterfactual reasoning process, unlocking a new level of automation and intelligence in segment perturbation. Our approach begins with semantic segmentation, after which LLMs intelligently select optimal replacement segments based on features such as class label, color, area, and height. By leveraging the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, we generate perturbations that are not only computationally efficient but also semantically meaningful. The proposed framework undergoes rigorous evaluation, combining human inspection of LLM-generated suggestions with quantitative analysis of semantic classification model performance across different LLM variants. By bridging the gap between geometric transformations and high-level semantic reasoning, this research redefines how we approach perturbation generation in Point Cloud Data analysis. The results pave the way for more interpretable, adaptable, and intelligent AI-driven solutions, bringing us closer to realworld applications where explainability and robustness are paramount.

36. Software self-hosting : a systematic review of quantitative research☆Luka Hrgarek, Lili Nemec Zlatolas, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

37. Data management and academic integrityMilan Ojsteršek, 2024, drugo učno gradivo Opis: Sensitive data requires careful consideration and adherence to best practices to ensure its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Essential steps in handling sensitive data are identification and classification of sensitive data, implementation of data access control, encryption of sensitive data, secure storage and transmission, implementation of data breach response plan, backup and monitoring usage of data, complying with regulation, and disposing of data securely. Misconduct in handling sensitive data can compromise data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. These include data breaches (unauthorised access or disclosure, theft, insider threats, falsification, fabrication, imputation, and amputation of data), failure to comply with data protection regulations, inadequate data security practices, improper retention and disposal of data, and failure to report data breaches and incidents. In this presentation Milan Ojsteršek presents how to manage sensitive data, desensitise it, and which are the most common breaches in handling sensitive data incidents. This presentation was given at the 4th ENAI Academic Integrity Summer School 2024, 16th – 21th September 2024, University of Konstanz, Germany.

39. Real-life application of a wearable device towards injury prevention in tennis : a single-case studyIztok Kramberger, Aleš Filipčič, Aleš Germič, Marko Kos, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The purpose of this article is to present the use of a previously validated wearable sensor
device, Armbeep, in a real-life application, to enhance a tennis player’s training by monitoring and
analysis of the time, physiological, movement, and tennis-specific workload and recovery indicators,
based on fused sensor data acquired by the wearable sensor—a miniature wearable sensor device,
designed to be worn on a wrist, that can detect and record movement and biometric information,
where the basic signal processing is performed directly on the device, while the more complex
signal analysis is performed in the cloud. The inertial measurements and pulse-rate detection of
the wearable device were validated previously, showing acceptability for monitoring workload and
recovery during tennis practice and matches. This study is one of the first attempts to monitor the
daily workload and recovery of tennis players under real conditions. Based on these data, we can
instruct the coach and the player to adjust the daily workload. This optimizes the level of an athlete’s
training load, increases the effectiveness of training, enables an individual approach, and reduces the
possibility of overuse or injuries. This study is a practical example of the use of modern technology
in the return of injured athletes to normal training and competition. This information will help tennis
coaches and players to objectify their workloads during training and competitions, as this is usually
only an intuitive assessment. Ključne besede: tennis, training, data-based coaching, shot recognition, wearable device, workload, recovery Objavljeno v DKUM: 31.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 11

40. On the use of morpho-syntactic description tags in neural machine translation with small and large training corporaGregor Donaj, Mirjam Sepesy Maučec, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: With the transition to neural architectures, machine translation achieves very good quality for several resource-rich languages. However, the results are still much worse for languages
with complex morphology, especially if they are low-resource languages. This paper reports the
results of a systematic analysis of adding morphological information into neural machine translation
system training. Translation systems presented and compared in this research exploit morphological
information from corpora in different formats. Some formats join semantic and grammatical information and others separate these two types of information. Semantic information is modeled using
lemmas and grammatical information using Morpho-Syntactic Description (MSD) tags. Experiments
were performed on corpora of different sizes for the English–Slovene language pair. The conclusions
were drawn for a domain-specific translation system and for a translation system for the general
domain. With MSD tags, we improved the performance by up to 1.40 and 1.68 BLEU points in the
two translation directions. We found that systems with training corpora in different formats improve
the performance differently depending on the translation direction and corpora size. Ključne besede: neural machine translation, POS tags, MSD tags, inflected language, data sparsity, corpora size Objavljeno v DKUM: 28.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 11
