Digital transformation, digital economy, digital intelligence and all other aspects of digital society are topical issues nowdays. In order for the digital transformation to be successful, one of the preconditions is the development of society’s digital skills. Therefore, we are faced with a situation where digital skills are one of the basic skills sought in the modern society, supported by the fact that in recent years digitalisation is increasingly being measured by various indicators to more accurately identify society's development needs in digitalization. On the other hand, investing in research and development is mentioned in all strategic documents and plans as a basis for global competitiveness, business and growth. The digital economy is mentioned in the context of the innovation market and innovators, and as a bridge that should eliminate certain sore spots in social and economic interactions. In this regard, investment in research, development and innovation should increase in terms of R&D expenditure in GDP, which currently stands at around 1% in Croatia according to the World Bank collection. Numerous indicators have been developed on the state level, but also at the European and global level, that should measure the success of such ventures. From all this it is clear that digital skills and investment in research, development and innovation are imperatives for the European Union and the Republic of Croatia regarding the economic growth and development and achieving competitive advantage, and that their connection and continuous growth and development are both key to Croatia's success but also to the society as a whole. Given the interconnectedness and interdependence of these two concepts and the fact that all economic and social goals concern investment in research, development and innovation, and digitalization and digital skills at the same time, this study was conducted through a comparison of different data sets connected to these two terms, seeking to identify the level and source of their interdependence and suggest possible improvements.

In this matter, the decision maker's shared knowledge of the domain and its usage has a strong influence on the success in its practical business application. The designed model consists of four constructs (shared domain knowledge, attitude, planning and financing). The model is a result of a statistical analysis of the scientific research of the strategic planning of an integrated business-information ~ystem (SP-IBIS). The research participants were 61,6% of the university and other higher education institution managers of the Republic of Croatia. It was proven that shared domain knowledge is the most influential factor for long-term alignment, for strategic decision-making on the application of new technologies and solutions, and which can be initially used when applying other solutions such as WSN application in healthcare.

As a result of numerous oncology studies, there has been a significant increase in scientific and clinical data that the human brain cannot store. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have led to its rapid clinical application. In this paper, we wanted to see the role of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in oncology. We conducted an unsystematic search of databases (Pub Med, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar) using the keywords: artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, oncology, personalized medicine. From a large number of articles available to us, we singled out review articles and clinical trial results according to their clarity and innovation regarding the use of artificial intelligence in oncology. Of particular importance to us was the ability to apply their results in everyday clinical work. The possibilities of using artificial intelligence in oncology are innumerable. Thus, AI can be used for diagnostic purposes (malignant screening, histopathology, and molecular diagnostics), therapeutic purposes (personalized treatment, prediction of treatment side effects and response to therapy, treatment decisions) as well as for prognostic purposes (risk stratification, 5-year survival, monitoring). The implementation of AI in clinical practice presents new challenges for clinicians. Namely, in the era of evidence-based and patient-centered medicine, they will have to master statistical as well as computer skills in addition to clinical ones. Therefore, it is necessary to start educating future doctors about the importance of AI in medicine as soon as possible.

Web-based operations form a significant operating segment of any contemporary cytology laboratory as they enable operations by the use of technology, which is usually free of the restrictions imposed by the traditional way of business (geographic area and narrow localisation of activities). In their operations, almost all healthcare organisations currently create and use electronic data anddocuments, which can originate both inside and outside the organisation. An enormous amount of information thus used and exchanged may be processed timely and in a high-quality way only by integrated information systems, given three basic safety requirements: data confidentiality, integrity and availability.

It actualizes both the main applicative goal, aimed at detecting the SP-IPIS model constructs and at defining the parameters and activities that make it iteratively possible to continuously work on their improvements, and the fundamental goal, which was directed towards identifying the interactions between the constructs and towards ascertaining the weighting of each construct in the model. A modeling method was used to attain these goals, in such a way that causal models, made through applying PATH analysis, were set up and examined from the aspect of the social dimension of short-term and long-term alignments. The models had been constructed by conducting research on a sample of 45 institutions of the higher education system in the Republic of Croatia, and of 218 of their managers in permanent and elective offices. In a qualitative, quantitative and logical way, as well as by using relevant statistical methods, results were produced based on which was designed an SP-IPIS model with a statistically established path made of constructs KNOWLEDGE – FUNDING – ATTITUDE – PLANNING. The usage of this model makes it possible to determine the level of managements' perception of a strategic planning of an integrated business-information system, as well as the level of their short-term and long-term alignment. The applicability of the model is sustainable for whichever organization comprising various management groups constituting an administration.

Using com malicious puters today is much easer then ever before, without special user knowledge. That means that Internet today is available to all generations of users without special knowledge about computer technology. In this work, we have presented more realistic way of functioning of this medium that largely confutes user perception of anonymity. In this work great emphasis is on the content that can be found on the Internet, including potential dangers that lurk there, with recommendations how to protect from them. The business world nowadays cannot exist without Internet, but even today there is large number of users, who do not use it in a proper way, which may lead to security problems for whole organization and/or to themselves. There are many possible measures for protecting users. Firstly there is education, then various antivirus and other security tools which protect from malicious software, to tools that enable filtering of certain types of on-line content. Those mentioned protecting measures are presented in the paper, with emphasis on real-life use of certain tools for content filtering in some organizations in the Republic of Croatia.

Analysts of these relationships increasingly intensify the development of the 'academic capitalism’ theory that serves to explain the process of integration of universities and colleges into the new economy. The development and management of a system as complex as an integrated information system of universities, needs to be based on SP-IBIS strategy, which is the link between academic and information system strategies, as well as the business strategy. Its application presupposes the transformation of business doing in accordance with the demands of Bologna Declaration, such as lump sum financing method, requirements for high quality and timely information on competition, potential markets, potential financing sources, technology, as well as economic and political trends at disposal – discussed in more detail in the presentation.

Za ostvarenje ovih ciljeva korištena je metoda modeliranja na način da su postavljeni kauzalni modeli izvedeni uz primjenu PATH analize sagledani s aspekta društvene dimenzije kratkoročnog i dugoročnog poravnanja, a koji su dobiveni provedbom istraživanja na uzorku kojeg čini 45 ustanova iz sustava visokog obrazovanja RH te 218 njihovih menadžera na stalnim i izbornim funkcijama. Kvalitativnim, kvantitativnim i logičkim putem te relevantnim statističkim metodama došlo se do rezultata temeljem kojih je dizajniran model SP-IPIS sa statistički utvrđenim putem kojeg čine konstrukti ZNANJE – FINANCIRANJE – STAV – PLANIRANJE, a korištenjem kojeg je moguće odrediti razinu percepcije menadžmenta spram strateškog planiranja integriranog poslovno-informacijskog sustava te stupanj njihova kratkoročnog i dugoročnog poravnanja. Primjena modela je održiva za bilo koju organizaciju u kojoj postoje različite skupine menadžmenta koje čine upravu.
