1. AI Adoption in European EnterprisesMaja Ćukušić, 2015, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: This paper examines the data on AI adoption in European companies by analysing how different indicators of digital readiness, technological infrastructure and organisational capacity contribute to the successful integration of AI. The study analyses data from 31 European countries and uses fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to identify three different pathways to AI adoption: digital maturity (a combination of high digital intensity, internet access and ICT security), technology-based readiness (based on in-house data analytics, cloud computing and ICT specialists) and capability-based empowerment (through ICT training alongside ICT staff and ICT security). The results show that multiple configurations can lead to effective AI adoption, underlining the principle of equivalence. The findings underscore the important role of ICT security across all pathways and suggest that workforce development is able to compensate for infrastructural gaps. Some practical guidance for businesses and policy makers are also provided. Keywords: AI adoption, digital transformation, fsQCA, ICT security, data analytics, cloud computing, ICT skills training, European enterprises Published in RUP: 04.03.2026; Views: 101; Downloads: 3

2. Effective Technology-Enhanced Learning Methods of Increasing Knowledge and Practical Skills among Nursing StudentsMartin Červený, Kemal Elyeli, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The utilisation of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) methods in the field of nursing education provides students with the opportunity to engage in riskfree practice of clinical skills through the utilisation of interactive simulations and virtual laboratories. The incorporation of digital tools, such as e-learning modules and online assessments, facilitates enhanced knowledge retention and offers flexible learning opportunities that are tailored to the individual learning pace of the student. This literature review aims to summarize, analyze, and evaluate the effectiveness of TEL methods for developing knowledge and practical skills among nursing students. This literature review will assess methods utilized to enhance TEL skills among nursing students. Scientific publications in English languages published between 2013 and 2023 will be analyzed. Searches will be conducted in electronic databases including PubMed, Wiley library, SCOPUS, and Web of Science. The findings of seven studies were subjected to analysis. The findings of the review suggest that the utilisation of TEL learning methodologies has a beneficial impact on the skills and knowledge acquisition of nursing students. The integration of TEL educational interventions into nursing education has been demonstrated to be an effective approach for developing the knowledge and competencies of nursing students. The incorporation of digital educational interventions in nursing education has been demonstrated to result in higher knowledge scores and a reduction in cognitive load, thereby enabling students to engage more fully with the learning material.

3. Using inquiry-based learning for developing university students’ digital skillsMojca Žefran, Silva Bratož, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: In recent years, the development of digital skills has been encouraged at all levels of education. For this purpose, innovative pedagogies and approaches aimed at fostering learners’ active participation, critical skills, and autonomy have been proposed. In this paper, we focus on the benefits of using the inquiry-based approach (IBL) for developing education students’ digital skills. A design-based study was conducted with a group of students (n=38) in the primary education study programme with a view to identifying students’ attitudes towards IBL as well as their experiences and challenges encountered in the process. The design-based scenario followed the 5E inquiry-based instructional model (engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation). Data for this study was gathered through an online survey, a focus group discussion, and through an in-depth analysis of the IBL scenario. The results indicate that students hold positive attitudes towards IBL. The most significant challenge identified was the application of critical thinking skills to locate and evaluate relevant research sources.
