1. Evaluating chatbot assistance in historical document analysisDavid Hazemali, Janez Osojnik, Tomaž Onič, Tadej Todorović, Mladen Borovič, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article explores the potential of PDFGear Copilot, a chatbot-based PDF editing tool, in assisting with the analysis of historical documents. We evaluated the chatbot's performance on a document relating to the Slovenian War of Independence. We included 25 factual and 5 interpretative questions to address its formal characteristics and content details, assess its capacity for in-depth interpretation and contextualized critical analysis, and evaluate the chatbot’s language use and robustness. The chatbot exhibited some ability to answer factual questions, even though its performance varied. It demonstrated proficiency in navigating document structure, named entity recognition, and extracting basic document information. However, performance declined significantly in tasks such as document type identification, content details, and tasks requiring deeper text analysis. For interpretative questions, the chatbot's performance was notably inadequate, failing to link cause-and-effect relationships and provide the depth and nuance required for historical inquiries.

Standard control methods, such as mechanical and chemical (herbicides), are usually ineffective and time-consuming and negatively affect the environment, especially in the latter case. This review explores the potential of smart chip technology (SCT) as a sustainable, precision approach tool for invasive species management. Integrating microchip sensors with artificial intelligence (AI) into the Internet of Things (IoT) and remote sensing technology allows for real-time monitoring, predictive modelling, and focused action, significantly improving management effectiveness. As one of many examples discussed herein, AI-driven decision-making systems can process real-time data from IoT-enabled environmental sensors to optimize invasive species detection. Smart chip technology also offers real-time monitoring of invasive species’ life processes, spread, and environmental effects, enabling artificial intelligence-powered eco-friendly control strategies that minimize herbicide usage and lessen collateral ecosystem damage. Despite the potential of SCT, challenges remain, including cost, biodegradability, and regulatory constraints. However, recent advances in biodegradable electronics and AI-driven automation offer promising solutions to many identified obstacles. Future research should focus on scalable deployment, improved predictive analytics, and interdisciplinary collaboration to drive innovation. Using SCT can help make invasive species control more sustainable while supporting biodiversity and strengthening agricultural systems.

4. Accuracy and knowledge base evaluation of ChatGPT-4o, Gemini-2.0-Flash, and DeepSeek-V3 in metabolic and bariatric surgery : an expert-rated blinded studyMohamed Hany, Mohamed H. Zidan, Chetan Parmar, Shahab Shahabi, Hashem Altabbaa, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied in medicine; however, their accuracy in guideline-driven, high-stakes specialties, such as metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), remains uncertain. This study evaluates the performance of ChatGPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and DeepSeek-V3 in generating guideline-concordant responses to MBS clinical questions. Methods: Thirty standardized, guideline-based MBS questions were presented to each model. Responses were randomized in order, anonymized (blinded as Model A/B/C), and evaluated by 93 MBS experts using a validated 0–3 scale (0 = inaccurate; 3 = fully guideline-concordant). A repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni correction tested model differences; reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s α and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Results: DeepSeek-V3 achieved the highest mean score (2.44 ± 0.40), followed by ChatGPT-4o (1.79 ± 0.46) and Gemini 2.0 Flash (1.63 ± 0.47) (p < 0.001). Fully guideline-concordant ratings (score = 3) were most frequent for DeepSeek (80%) vs. ChatGPT (0%) and Gemini (3.3%). Internal consistency was excellent (α > 0.90), and inter-rater reliability was strong (ICC > 0.88). When mapped against the QUEST evaluation framework, the study addressed Quality and Understanding but did not fully capture Expression, Safety, or Trust dimensions. Conclusions: DeepSeek-V3 outperformed ChatGPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash in generating guideline-concordant responses in MBS. These results highlight the need for ongoing, domain-focused validation before clinical use.

6. Rapid evidence mapping of soil fauna responses to agricultural management assisted by large language modelsRicardo Leitão, Vid Podpečan, Marko Debeljak, Martina Lori, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The exponential growth of scientific literature challenges traditional synthesis methods, limiting our ability to derive broad insights into complex environmental processes. Large language models (LLMs) may help address this challenge by supporting the extraction of structured knowledge from unstructured text. To evaluate and demonstrate this potential in soil science, we developed a multi-module, LLM-assisted knowledge-extraction workflow built on a recently published meta-data-analysis of management–biota interactions as a contextual framework, using an iteratively refined prompt chain to extract directional relationships between agricultural management practices and soil fauna from scientific abstracts. Benchmarking against manually curated datasets showed high precision and recall, while expert-guided iterative development indicated that the information content of abstracts was likely a major practical constraint on extraction performance. To assess interpretative soundness, we applied the workflow in two use cases: an illustrative comparison with the well-established literature on reduced and no-tillage effects on soil fauna, and a knowledge-gap application on biochar and crop-residue retention. The workflow indicated predominantly beneficial reported patterns for crop residue retention, particularly for earthworms and nematodes, whereas biochar showed a more heterogeneous and context-dependent pattern. Overall, results show that LLM-assisted workflows can support rapid, large-scale evidence mapping of soil fauna responses to management practices when formal quantitative syntheses are unavailable. The proposed framework is best understood as a complementary tool for organising and screening dispersed ecological evidence, and not as a substitute for full-text synthesis, effect-size-based meta-analysis, or decision-grade inference. The complete workflow is publicly available and broadly transferable across environmental research domains.

7. Artificial intelligence in higher education teaching : usage, attitudes and trust among Croatian educatorsDaliborka Luketić, Marina Diković, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Artificial intelligence (AI) provides numerous benefits for higher education, such as personalised learning, task automation and enhanced teaching methods. However, it also raises concerns regarding trust and acceptance among educators. Examining the factors that influence teachers’ trust and their attitudes towards adopting or rejecting AI technologies is essential for supporting the constructive and responsible integration of AI into higher education. This study explores the key determinants that shape university teachers’ trust in and attitudes regarding AI in academic instruction. Specifically, it investigates how general attitudes on AI, prior experience with AI tools, perceptions of AI’s role in academia and individual teacher characteristics affect teacher trust and acceptance. This study was conducted on a sample of 210 higher education teachers from the social sciences and humanities in the Republic of Croatia. Data for this work were collected using adapted versions of the Teacher Trust Scale (Nazaretsky, Cukurova and Alexandron 2022) and the Attitudes Towards AI Scale (Stein et al. 2024), along with additional relevant constructs. Factor analysis confirmed that teachers’ trust in AI is a multidimensional construct comprising three key dimensions: (1) perceived pedagogical values of AI, (2) familiarityand usefulness-based trust (experience-based reliance on AI) and (3) concerns and reasons for distrust in AI. The findings provide valuable insights into educators’ perceptions of AI, which are essential for understanding and shaping contemporary higher education teaching and for developing effective AI-supported teaching strategies.

8. Ethical considerations on the use of big data and artificial intelligence in kidney research from the ERA ethics committeeWim Van Biesen, Jadranka Buturović-Ponikvar, Monica Fontana, Peter Heering, Mehmet S. Sever, Simon Sawhney, Valerie Luyckx, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In the current paper, we will focus on requirements to ensure big data can advance the outcomes of our patients suffering from kidney disease. The associated ethical question is whether and how we as a nephrology community can and should encourage the collection of big data of our patients. We identify some ethical reflections on the use of big data, and their importance and relevance. Furthermore, we balance advantages and pitfalls and discuss requirements to make legitimate and ethical use of big data possible. The collection, organization, and curation of data come upfront in the pipeline before any analyses. Great care must therefore be taken to ensure quality of the data at this stage, to avoid the ‘garbage in garbage out’ problem and suboptimal patient care as a consequence of such analyses. Access to the data should be organized so that correct and efficient use of data is possible. This means that data must be stored safely, so that only those entitled to do so can access them. At the same time, those who are entitled to access the data should be able to do so in an efficient way, so as not to hinder relevant research. Analysis of observational data is itself prone to many errors and biases. Each of these biases can finally result in provision of low-quality medical care. Secure platforms should therefore also ensure correct methodology is used to interpret the available data. This requires close collaboration of a skilled workforce of experts in medical research and data scientists. Only then will our patients be able to benefit fully from the potential of AI and big data.

10. Machine learning-assisted diagnosis classification of primary immune dysregulation using IDDA2.1 phenotype profilingMalte Schwitzkowski, Sai Pavan Kumar Veeranki, Benedikt N. Seidel, Gerhard Kindle, Stephan Rusch, Diether Kramer, Markus G. Seidel, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background Immune dysregulation, including autoimmunity, autoinflammation, allergy, and malignancy predisposition, adds significant disease burden in primary immune disorders (PID) and inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). Objective We evaluated whether the 5-graded immune deficiency and dysregulation activity (IDDA2.1) score, encompassing 21 organ involvement and disease burden parameters, supports diagnosis across a wide spectrum of IEIs. Methods From April 2022 to November 2024, collaborators from 84 centers collected 1,043 IDDA score datasets from 825 patients across 89 IEIs (17 disorders with ≥10 patients each; range, 1-196 per IEI), including 177 scores from 141 treated patients. Supervised machine learning models ( k -nearest neighbors, support vector machine, logistic regression, random forest) classified patients into disease groups and ranked corresponding predictive features, while unsupervised uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) visualized disease-specific clustering. Results Feature analysis reflected clinicians’ recognition of IEI patterns and confirmed internal IDDA score consistency. Phenotype profiles in treated patients remained informative, inversely reflecting anticipated treatment-dependent phenotype amelioration. UMAP effectively distinguished IEIs by IDDA2.1 profiles. Genetic disorder prediction achieved 73% overall accuracy, 70% for the correct monogenic IEI, and 93% within the top 3 predictions; classification reached 43% for IEI–International Union of Immunological Society categories and 59% for 12 “cardinal” IEIs (25 genes). Conclusions Random forest feature importance analysis can inform targeted clinical screening for key disease manifestations. The top 3 prediction approach demonstrates diagnostic potential, but improved accuracy will require larger, globally shared datasets. Small sample sizes for rare diseases highlight the necessity of broader collaboration to enhance AI-assisted clinical decision-making in the future.
