Opis: This article traces how contract archaeology in Namibia emerged and consolidated after 1990 at the intersection of environmental regulation, donor requirements, and large-scale development – especially mining and energy infrastructure. It shows that, for decades, practice was largely self-regulated in the absence of national guidelines, drawing authority from Environmental Impact Assessments and the National Heritage Act. Comparing regional standards (e.g. SAHRA, ASAPA), the paper argues for clear standard operating procedures, professional accreditation, and capacity building to ensure ethical, consistent work that contributes to scholarship and community engagement. It concludes that Namibia now has an opportunity to professionalise the field, leverage ‘grey literature’ for research, and align heritage protection with sustainable development.

Opis: Research Question (RQ): What is the effect of new technologies, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), on the need to upskill older employees (50+ years). Purpose: The purpose of the research was to carry out a systematic literature review of existing research in the field of the effect of AI on the upskilling needs of older employees. Method: We performed a systematic literature review across six academic search engines: ProQuest, Emerald, Sage Journals, Springer, Research Gate, and Google Scholar. Results: Artificial intelligence is significantly transforming the labor market, as it requires constant adaptation to new skills and knowledge. AI has a significant effect on older employees, who are exposed to greater challenges due to a possible lack of digital skills and sensitivity to change. In this context, training and further education are key mechanisms to ensure that skills match the requirements of the work environment and the labor market. Organizations must quickly adapt to changing requirements by creating a culture of lifelong learning that encourages seniors and other employees to improve. Training programs must be based on the specific needs and challenges faced by older employees. Organization: The research emphasizes the importance of training older employees in the age of AI and encourages organizations to create a culture of lifelong learning as part of the organization's strategic directions and goals. Society: The importance of research for society is reflected in the insight into the involvement of all age groups in the possibility of improving knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards the use of modern technologies. Organizations and society itself bear the social responsibility to enable older employees to successfully integrate into the work environment in the AI era. Originality: The research addresses the need to improve the skills of a specific age group in the age of AI, where it simultaneously highlights the importance of fostering a culture of lifelong learning in a rapidly changing world. The research findings provide guidelines for policymaking in the field of training on the national level in the context of an aging workforce and new technologies. Limitations/further research: The literature review was limited to six publicly available databases. In the article, older employees were considered as people in the labor process older than 50 years. We must emphasize that older employees differ from each other in terms of education, economic, social, and other circumstances. Further research should investigate the effect of new technologies regarding the specific circumstances mentioned in this age group.

Opis: This article explores the role of inventory management in reducing food waste and improving economic performance in selected Slovenian bakeries, contributing to a more efficient, environmentally responsible and sustainable economy. Using semi-structured interviews with key bakery personnel and an in-depth analysis of business documentation, our study applies the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and Newsvendor model to test the following two hypotheses: (H1) improving inventory management at Bakery 1 can reduce total annual procurement costs by more than 15% without causing spoilage or raw material waste, and (H2) minimizingfood waste at Bakery 2 may not necessarily align with maximizing profit. The findings confirm that applying these models can enhance production and procurement planning, demonstrating that while cost reductions and waste minimization are achievable, they may not always be fully aligned. The study underscores the importance of strategic inventory management in balancing financial and  environmental objectives in small bakeries.

Opis: Umetna inteligenca (UI) je pomembna komponenta sodobnega sveta in sočasno pospeševalec digitalne transformacije. Organizacije v svoje poslovanje uvajajo tehnologije UI z namenom ohranjanja konkurenčne prednosti. Vzporedno to ustvarja tudi nove zahteve po veščinah na trgu dela in samih delovnih mestih. Starejši zaposleni (starosti 50+ let) so zaradi slabše razvitih kompetenc, potrebnih za upravljanje s tehnologijami UI, v slabšem položaju kot njihovi mlajši sodelavci, kar dodatno povečuje digitalni razkorak. Pomanjkanje ustreznih kompetenc lahko starejše zaposlene sili v zgodnjo upokojitev, nekonkurenčnost na trgu dela ali celo v brezposelnost. Raziskava temelji na sistematičnem pregledu literature v sedmih bazah podatkov, kjer smo preučevali vlogo delodajalcev pri opolnomočenju starejših zaposlenih v dobi UI. Ugotovitve poudarjajo pomen ustvarjanja kulture vseživljenjskega učenja (VŽU) v organizacijah, ki zaposlene spodbuja k nenehnemu izpolnjevanju v kontekstu hitro spreminjajočih se zahtev pri delu zaradi napredkov UI. V kontekstu starajoče se delovne sile je opolnomočenje starejših ključnega pomena, saj so zaradi omejenih digitalnih kompetenc ranljivi na trgu dela. VŽU tako služi kot ključni mehanizem za opolnomočenje starejših zaposlenih, ker jim omogoča nujno prilagajanje in uspešno delovanje na hitro spreminjajočem se trgu dela.
