This paper presents various aspects concerning recipients of unsolicited e-mail advertising – spam; in many cases, the unethical nature of such advertising has been established. Spam ethics has been assessed from various aspects of ethical theories, which use different methods to evaluate the motivation to perform an act and various criteria to determine the ethics; they put either an individual or society to the forefront (some theories are more subjective, whereas others are more objective). Spam can be sent in an intrusive way. The identity of the sender is unknown, the content of messages inappropriate, misleading or malicious and the volume of messages unacceptable; in addition to this, the recipient has no possibility to avoid receiving such messages. When the sender does not take into account all the conditions that make an e-mail acceptable for the recipient, it can be stated that it is an unsolicited e-mail or spam. Spam is only one of many risks that can affect Internet users, exploiting primarily their ignorance; the fragility of the Internet is compromised by spam. All Internet users bear moral responsibility for the vulnerability of the Internet community and they should constantly strive to remain within the morally acceptable frame. Unfortunately, the Internet is no exception and striving to remain within the morally acceptable frame is not in the interest of all.
The concept of web accessibility provides the basis for ensuring accessibility of websites and mobile apps for all users, primarily for persons with a disability. The Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act from 2018 represents a regulation of minimal harmonization and it summarizes the EU directive. Although the act was adopted several years ago, the situation in Slovenia is still relatively undeveloped.
The paper reviews, with some historical distance, the circumstances leading to the VMS operating system becoming the basis for developing and implementing the COBISS national shared bibliographic system.
The article presents and analyses selected digital humanities projects and research initiatives in which libraries and other heritage institutions participate actively. These ambitious global projects supplement the existing knowledge on general and specific social and cultural-historical phenomena in the field of written cultural heritage with the help of web-based applications, tools and the collaborative location-independent research approach.
Due to a large number of web devices and many end users, who want constant availability and quick responsiveness of applications, new approaches to computer programming are required. The concept of reactive programming, its basic characteristics, reactive solutions and microservices based on asynchronous operation are presented.
Modern systemization of work must become a process just as other organizational processes monitored by it. The purpose of our research was to create an SWP model (systemization of work as a process model) for knowledge-based business functions, which will be useful in practice and will make it possible to organise work on the basis of employee competencies and to form salaries on the basis of effective work time, and complexity and quality of work. During research we designed an SWP model and presented how to determine the complexity of tasks based on the required competencies, the criteria for determining the quality of work and the method of recording effective work.
