Active and assisted living ecosystem for the elderly
A novel ecosystem to promote the physical, emotional and psychic health and well-being of the elderly is presented. Our proposal was designed to add several services developed to meet the needs of the senior population, namely services to improve social inclusion and increase contribution to society. Moreover, the solution monitors the vital signs of elderly individuals, as well as environmental parameters and behavior patterns, in order to seek eminent danger situations and predict potential hazardous issues, acting in accordance with the various alert levels specified for each individual. The platform was tested by seniors in a real scenario. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed ecosystem was well accepted and is easy to use by seniors
Artificial intelligence: the end of legal protection of personal data and intellectual property? : research on the countering effects of data protection and IPR on the regulation of artificial intelligence systems
Artificial Intelligence systems have gained notoriety for changing (and having a great potential) to further change the way we live. The use of AI impacts the rights and freedoms of natural persons necessitating the revision of various laws relevant to AI. This research considers the intersection of data protection and intellectual property law as it impacts the rights and freedoms of natural persons. This research argues that data protection and intellectual property law interrelate in such a manner that the (non) regulation of one legal field might (negatively) impact the other. This research examines some of these issues, (including data reidentification) and further proposes the redefinition of the concept of personal data as a means of ensuring that the application of data protection and intellectual property law to AI does not limit the development, adoption, and use of AI
Research of Business Information Solution Vendors for Company Digital Transformation
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

Genomic regulatory architecture of human embryo retroviral LTR elements affecting evolution, development, and pathophysiology of Modern Humans
Two distinct families of pan-primate endogenous retroviruses, namely HERVL
and HERVH, infected primates germline, colonized host genomes, and evolved into
the global retroviral genomic regulatory dominion (GRD) operating during human
embryogenesis (HE). HE retroviral GRD constitutes 8839 highly conserved fixed
LTR elements linked to 5444 down-stream target genes forged by evolution into a
functionally-consonant constellation of 26 genome-wide multimodular genomic
regulatory networks (GRNs), each of which is defined by significant enrichment
of numerous single gene ontology (GO)-specific traits. Locations of GRNs appear
scattered across chromosomes to occupy from 5.5%-15.09% of human genome. Each
GRN harbors from 529-1486 retroviral LTRs derived from LTR7, MLT2A1, and MLT2A2
sequences that are quantitatively balanced according to their genome-wide
abundance. GRNs integrate activities from 199-805 down-stream target genes,
including transcription factors, chromatin-state remodelers, signal-sensing and
signal-transduction mediators, enzymatic and receptor binding effectors,
intracellular complexes and extracellular matrix elements, and cell-cell
adhesion molecules. GRNs compositions consist of several hundred to thousands
smaller GO enrichment-defined genomic regulatory modules (GRMs) combining from
a dozen to hundreds LTRs and down-stream target genes, which appear to operate
on individuals life-span timescale along specific phenotypic avenues to exert
profound effects on patterns of transcription, protein-protein interactions,
developmental phenotypes, physiological traits, and pathological conditions of
Modern Humans. Overall, this study identifies 69,573 statistically significant
retroviral LTR-linked GRMs (Binominal FDR q-value threshold of 0.001),
including 27,601 GRMs validated by the single GO-specific directed acyclic
graph (DAG) analyses across six GO annotations.Comment: 66 pages, 16 figure
