    Znanstvena monografija Raziskava ponudnikov poslovnih informacijskih rešitev za digitalno transformacijo podjetij obravnava področje trajnostne digitalne preozbrazbe, na katero vpliva tako izbira tehnološke platforme kot tudi informacijska arhitektura digitaliziranih organizacij. Evropska unija (EU) je opredelila digitalno preobrazbo kot eno od ključnih področij razvoja. Evropska komisija je oblikovala in objavila vizijo in smernice za digitalno preobrazbo, ki vključujejo tudi cilje EU na področju digitalne preobrazbe. EU se tudi zaveda izzivov, povezanih z onesnaževanjem in podnebnimi spremembami, ki jih onesnaževanje povzroča, ter njihove povezanosti z digitalno preobrazbo. EU je objavila “European Green Deal”, ki temelji na konceptih trajnostnega razvoja Združenih narodov. Celovita trajnostno usmerjena obravnava digitalne preobrazbe tako vključuje združitev poslovnih procesov in digitalnih tehnologij v digitalizirano poslovanje. Zato je v prvem delu znanstvene monografije poudarek na digitalni preobrazbi in odgovorih na vprašanje, kako lahko informacijske tehnologije in informacijske rešitve vplivajo na trajnostni razvoj podjetij in družbe. V drugem delu znanstvene monografije je opredeljen sodoben koncept informacijske arhitekture digitaliziranih organizacij. Pomembno vlogo pri digitalni preobrazbi organizacij imajo poslovne informacijske rešitve, ki jih organizacije uporabljajo za informacijsko podporo svojih poslovnih procesov in delovnih tokov. Najpomembnejši predstavnik poslovnih informacijskih rešitev so celovite informacijske rešitve (rešitve ERP). Poleg teh pa v skupino poslovnih informacijskih rešitev uvrščamo tudi rešitve za upravljanje odnosov s strankami (rešitve CRM), rešitve za upravljanje dokumentnih sistemov (rešitve DMS), rešitve digitalnega marketinga ter mnoge druge. Za omenjene poslovne informacijske rešitve so v drugem delu znanstvene monografije opisane opredelitve in njihove značilnosti, ponudniki teh poslovnih informacijskih rešitev in podrobnejši opis posameznih poslovnih informacijskih rešitev, prisotnih na slovenskem trgu. Tako si lahko bralec za vsak sklop raziskanih informacijskih rešitev ustvari začetni vtis o uporabnosti posameznih rešitev za posamezno podjetje oz. organizacijo.The scientific monograph "A Study of Business Information Solutions Providers for Digital Transformation of Companies" addresses sustainable digital transformation, which is influenced by both the choice of technological platforms and the information architecture of digitized organizations. The European Union (EU) has identified digital transformation as one of the key areas of development. The European Commission has formulated and published a vision and guidelines for digital transformation, including EU goals in the field of digital transformation. The EU is also aware of the challenges related to pollution and climate change caused by pollution and their connection to digital transformation. The EU has published the "European Green Deal," which is based on the concepts of sustainable development of the United Nations (European Commission, 2021b). A comprehensive sustainability-oriented approach to digital transformation thus involves integrating business processes and digital technologies into digitized business operations. Therefore, the first part of the scientific monograph focuses on digital transformation and addresses how information technologies and solutions can impact the sustainable development of companies and society. In the second part of the scientific monograph, the modern concept of information architecture of digitized organizations is defined. Business information solutions play an important role in the digital transformation of organizations, as organizations use them for information support of their business processes and workflows. The most important representative of business information solutions is the comprehensive information solution (ERP solution). In addition, solutions for customer relationship management (CRM solutions), document management system solutions (DMS solutions), digital marketing solutions, and many others are classified as business information solutions. The second part of the scientific monograph describes the definitions and characteristics of these business information solutions and the providers of these solutions. It provides a detailed description of individual business information solutions available in the Slovenian market. Thus, the reader can gain an initial impression of the usefulness of individual solutions for a particular company or organization for each group of researched information solutions

    The Informal Screen Media Economy of Ukraine

    Get PDF
    This research explores informal film translation (voice over and subtitling) and distribution (pirate streaming and torrenting) practices in Ukraine, which together comprise what I call the informal screen media economy of Ukraine. This study addresses wider issues of debate around the distinct reasons media piracy exists in non-Western economies. There is already a considerable body of research on piracy outside of the traditional anti-piracy discourse, one that recognises that informal media are not all unequivocally destructive nor that they are necessarily marginal, particularly in non-Western countries. Yet, there remain gaps in the range of geographies and specific types of pirate practices being studied. Furthermore, academics often insufficiently address the intricate conditions of the context within which a given pirate activity is undertaken. Finally, whereas many researchers talk about pirates, considerably fewer talk to them. This project sets out to address these gaps. Specifically, I examine the distinct practicalities of the informal screen media practices in Ukraine through netnographic observations of pirate sites and in-depth interviews with the Ukrainian informal screen media practitioners. I explore their notably diverse motivations for engaging in these activities and how they negotiate their practices with the complex economic, cultural, and regulatory context of Ukraine. I find that, contrary to common perceptions, the Ukrainian pirates do not oppose the copyright law but operate largely within and around it. A more important factor in piracy in Ukraine instead is the economics of the Ukrainian language. This is reflected in the language exclusivity inherent to most Ukrainian pirate distribution platforms as well as in the motives of some informal translators, for whom their practice is a form of language activism. Overall, I argue for a more holistic approach to researching the informal space of the media economy, especially in non-Western contexts, one that recognises the heterogeneity of this space and explores accordingly intricate factors behind its existence. In addition, this project offers a methodological contribution by providing a detailed reflection on the use of ethnographic methods to study a pirate economy in a non-Western, non-anglophone country

    Near-Real Time, Semi-Automated Threat Assessment of Information Environments

    Threat assessment is a crucial process for monitoring and defending against potential threats in an organization’s information environment and business operations. Ensuring the security of information infrastructure requires effective information security practices. However, existing models and methodologies often fall short of addressing the dynamic and evolving nature of cyberattacks. Moreover, critical threat intelligence extracted from the threat agents lacks the ability to capture essential attributes such as motivation, opportunity, and capability (M, O, C). This contribution to knowledge clarification introduces a semi-automatic threat assessment model that can handle situational awareness data or live acquired data stream from networks, incorporating information security techniques, protocols, and real-time monitoring of specific network types. Additionally, it focuses on analysing and implementing network traffic within a specific real-time information environment. To develop the semi-automatic threat assessment model, the study identifies unique attributes of threat agents by analysing Packet Capture Application Programming Interface (PCAP) files and data stream collected between 2012 and 2019. The study utilizes both hypothetical and real-world examples of threat agents to evaluate the three key factors: motivation, opportunity, and capability. This evaluation serves as a basis for designing threat profiles, critical threat intelligence, and assessing the complexity of process. These aspects are currently overlooked in existing threat agent taxonomies, models, and methodologies. By addressing the limitations of traditional threat assessment approaches, this research contributes to advancing the field of cybersecurity. The proposed semi-automatic threat assessment model offers improved awareness and timely detection of threats, providing organizations with a more robust defence against evolving cyberattacks. This research enhances the understanding of threat agents’ attributes and assists in developing proactive strategies to mitigate the risks associated with cybersecurity in the modern information environment

    The 5th international PLATE conference (Product Lifetimes and the Environment) addressed product lifetimes in the context of sustainability. The PLATE conference, which has been running since 2015, has successfully been able to establish a solid network of researchers around its core theme. The topic has come to the forefront of current (political, scientific & societal) debates due to its interconnectedness with a number of recent prominent movements, such as the circular economy, eco-design and collaborative consumption. For the 2023 edition of the conference, we encouraged researchers to propose how to extend, widen or critically re-construct thematic sessions for the PLATE conference, and the paper call was constructed based on these proposals. In this 5th PLATE conference, we had 171 paper presentations and 238 participants from 14 different countries. Beside of paper sessions we organized workshops and REPAIR exhibitions

This Special Issue aims to establish the state of the art in protecting information by mitigating information risks. This objective is reached by presenting both surveys on specific topics and original approaches and solutions to specific problems. In total, 16 papers have been published in this Special Issue

    S+S. Spatial Design + Service Design.

    Get PDF
    The book explores the implications for the design discipline, particularly in participatory design research and practices, in identifying dialogues on the relationship between Spatial Design and Service Design through a theoretical analysis of specific areas of the design research. This is the first step towards an approach defined as S+S - Service Design + Spatial Design: the book is a foundational act in this direction. The topic has been studied from a design research perspective to expand and contribute to a new gateway into Service Design, that of Spatial Design. Beyond its political and social dimension, how does design act in its phenomenological dimension through tangible and intangible artefacts capable of intercepting, orienting, modifying, and determining the behaviour and relationships of individuals and communities? How does design – that (co)designs artefacts and visions that operate as services influencing these behaviours – interact with spaces? This research explores the relationship between spaces and services in their action in the social and political dimensions
