1. Navigating Innovation : a comparative analysis of national intellectual property ecosystems in Croatia and SloveniaAna Hafner, Marijana Ribičić, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This study provides a comparative analysis of the national intellectual property ecosystems in Croatia and Slovenia. In contrast to national innovation systems, national intellectual property ecosystems are rarely studied. The starting point for the research was the institutions within the national innovation system. The authors examined which institutions – such as research and business agencies, technology transfer offices, incubators, intellectual property offices, and inventors’ associations – provide intellectual property-related services. In addition, they analysed industrial property data (patents, industrial designs, trademarks) and innovation indexes. Findings indicate that while Slovenia has outperformed Croatia in several industrial property and innovation indicators, a decline over the last ten years in some key areas, such as national patent applications and innovation indexes, may suggest emerging vulnerabilities. Croatia, on the other hand, is showing signs of strengthening its intellectual property ecosystem and engagement with digital tools, which may position it more favourably in the future. By identifying gaps and challenges within each ecosystem, this study highlights opportunities for mutual learning, where Croatia and Slovenia can adopt best practices from one another to enhance their intellectual property strategies.

2. The role of the archives in digital transformation of the state and society : tasks, activities, expected resultsMagdalena Marosz, 2022, professional article Abstract: The recently prepared Strategy for the development of national archives for the years 2021-2030, describes the methods and activities by which Polish national archives will try to influence the digital transformation of the state and the society. Two main courses of action were set up: the progress of computerization of processes of documenting public administration’s activities and the increase of digital competences of the society. The constant development of the Archive of Electronic Documents (ADE) system is to ensure - in addition to securing electronic documents - the preservation of the context of creating given documentation, its availability, information, logical integrity and the possibility of making it available to the public in the long term.

6. Design and optimization of multiple-channel double dynamic switching biased Op-Amp for switched capacitor integrator using FinFET technologyMorteza Babaeian Far, Mehmet Aytuğ Ormanci, Firat Kaçar, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This paper presents the design and optimization of a parametric multiple-channel Double Dynamic Switching Biased Complementary Folded-Cascode Amplifier with switched capacitor integrator application in 32nm FinFET technology. The LTspice simulations demonstrate that the amplifier can attain an open-loop DC gain of 44.8dB, and a phase margin of about 87.8° with ±0.5V supply voltages. Moreover, the amplifier power consumption is measured 246µW including bias circuitry and a Gain-Bandwidth Product (GBW) of 77.45MHz under a 5pF load capacitor. The circuit’s stability enables it to offer diverse design capabilities tailored to specific application needs. This novel design is capable of reducing supply voltages and power dissipation Keywords: 32nm finfet technology, complementary folded-cascode amplifier, double dynamic switching bias, self-cascode, switched capacitor Published in DiRROS: 18.06.2026; Views: 275; Downloads: 312

7. Exploring the potential and implications of digital tools in teaching academic writingEriada Çela, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This study employs a systematic literature review to explore the pedagogical potential and implications of integrating digital tools into academic writing instruction. The review synthesises empirical and theoretical studies, with the purpose of examining how digital feedback mechanisms, such as automated writing evaluation systems, artificial intelligence-powered assistants and multimodal platforms affect writing proficiency, support personalised learning and promote inclusive practices. The findings reveal that digital tools enhance surface-level accuracy, engagement and revision habits. However, their effectiveness is highly dependent on how they are thoughtfully integrated into teaching, customised for students’ needs and used to address ethical and equity challenges. This paper also investigates critical concerns, including academic integrity, algorithmic bias and the risk of overreliance on automation. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of thoughtful integration, digital literacy and teacher guidance to ensure that the support provided by digital tools to improve academic writing development is fully aximised.

8. 3D method for the volumetric evaluation and visualisation of dental biofilms : a proof-of-principle studyKatja Povšič, Haris Munjaković, Vanja Erčulj, Aleš Fidler, Rok Gašperšič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Background and objective: Traditional and planimetric plaque indices rely on plaque-disclosing agents and cannot quantify three-dimensional (3D) structures of dental biofilms. We introduce a novel computer-assisted method for evaluating and visualising plaque volume using intraoral scans (IOSs). Materials and methods: This was a 4-day, non-brushing, plaque-regrowth study (n = 15). All plaque was removed at baseline (T0). IOSs at T0 and after 4 days (T4) were used for volumetric plaque assessment in six steps: model acquisition, model superimposition, computer-aided determination of tooth-surface margins, tooth-surface superimposition, visualisation and volumetric evaluation of biofilms. Plaque formation at T4 was additionally assessed with the Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (TMQHPlI). We used Pearson's correlation coefficients and multilevel models to investigate the relationships between TMQHPlI, volumetric plaque index (VPI) and the adjusted volumetric plaque index (AVPI, plaque volume/area). Results: VPI and AVPI positively correlated with the TMQHPlI, showing higher variability at lower TMQHPlI scores. VPI had a lower threshold for plaque detection and higher sensitivity than the TMQHPlI. VPI and TMQHPlI were highest on vestibular, maxillary and molar surfaces. Conclusion: VPI quantifies biofilm deposits, is a more precise measure for plaque detection than the TMQHPlI and can be visualised using colour-coded maps displaying areas of equal plaque thickness.

10. Media/Digital Literacy, Access to Information and European Democracy in the Light of Information and Communication Technology AdaptationAlenka Pandiloska Jurak, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Access to information is strongly related to forming personal/social opinions, one of the critical building blocks of democratic governance, while access to information is also crucially linked to media literacy, which affects the separation between quality, reliable information and misleading information. In the dissemination of information and communication with state authorities and other stakeholders, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is also essential. However, the availability and usage of those technologies differ among the EU macro-regions. This article shows the foundations of adopting ICT technologies in European macro-regions. It reviews data on how many people do not use a computer and how much they use ICT to communicate with public authorities. The data used in the research covers the years between 2008 and 2021, with which we will try to determine if there are changes in this topic.
