A Process for Engineer Domain Ontology: An Experience in Developing Business Analysis Ontology
Full text linkDuring the last years several works have been aimed to improve ontology technological as-pects, like representation language and inference mechanisms. This paper presents a discussion on the process and product of an experience in developing ontology for the public sector whose organization requires a strong knowledge management. This process is applied to engineer and develop ontology for Business analysis domain.Ontology, Ontology Engineering, Methodology, Protégé, Business Analysis
Should we classify obesity as a disease?
Full text linkIn light of the UK’s recent obesity strategy, as well as recent global developments on the topic, Dimitrinka Atanasova outlines some of the arguments for and against classifying obesity as a disease. She argues that, as it stands, it is wiser to stick with the status quo: see obesity as a contributor to chronic diseases
Book review: fat activism: a radical social movement by Charlotte Cooper
Full text linkFat Activism: A Radical Social Movement, by Charlotte Cooper, not only offers a thorough history of the fat acceptance movement, which seeks to change societal attitudes towards fat people, but also provides insight into activist practices more broadly. Dimitrinka Atanasova praises this accessible book as an important read for those working in the field of critical weight studies and fat studies and for showing how academic research can be mobilised to reach audiences beyond the academy
How the media’s language of obesity may have made the sugar tax inevitable
No full textThe government’s decision to impose a ‘sugar tax’, announced in the 2016 Budget, should have come as no surprise, writes Dimitrinka Atanasova. Rather it was anticipated based on longer term trends in obesity news reporting – reporting on what has (even) been called a ‘national emergency’
ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF EMV TECHNOLOGY FOR DINERS CLUB CARD
Full text linkV diplomskem delu sem opisala in tako predstavila organizacijo uvedbe EMV-tehnologije v podjetju Erste Card, d. o. o. Poudarek je predvsem na organizaciji in ne na tehničnih in informacijskih podrobnostih uvedbe.
Ker je uvedba EMV-tehnologije v podjetju Erste Card, d. o. o., nov dejavnik, sem opisala ključne spremembe, ki so in bodo vplivale na organizacijo nekaterih delovnih procesov v različnih sektorjih.
Zaradi uvedbe EMV-tehnologije smo na nekaterih področjih organizirali dodatne dejavnosti, ki se bodo odvijale kot enkratni dogodki, s tem so mišljeni začetni razgovori na bankah in v procesnih centrih, priprava infrastrukture na POS-terminalih in programski opremi podjetja Erste Card, d. o. o., ter testiranja POS-terminalov. Tudi priprava novih pogodb, aneksov, navodil ter obveščanje trgovcev in obstoječih imetnikov o novi, pametni kartici Diners Club imajo v organizaciji uvedbe EMV-tehnologije značaj enkratnega dogodka.
Ostale nove dejavnosti pa bodo stalne, odvijale se bodo občasno ali vsakodnevno. Največ organizacijskih sprememb bo v Službi podpore prodaji, Službi plačilnega prometa, Službi operativnega tveganja in Službi mreže prodajnih mest. Spremenili se bodo procesi, vezani na reklamacije članov, certifikacijo novih POS-terminalov, izdelavo in distribucijo pametnih kartic ter operativno tveganje.
Naredili smo oceno učinkov, kjer smo ugotovili, da prevladujejo prednosti za podjetje. Slabosti, če jih lahko tako imenujemo, so ugotovljene predvsem za imetnike kartic, vendar v smislu njihove varnosti, saj je PIN ključni element, ki ga bodo potrebovali pri poslovanju s pametno kartico.
Prenos odgovornosti je glavni razlog uvedbe EMV-tehnologije v podjetju, saj bi, če te zahteve DCI ne bi izpolnili, v prihodnosti krili vse stroške zlorab v vseh franšizah, ki novo tehnologijo že uporabljajo.The goal of this diploma is to introduce organizational changes, sparked by introduction of EMV technology for Diners Club cards. The main focus is on organizational, much less on technical and informatical details of implementation.
EMV technology is a novelty for Erste Card, so we try to explain key changes, which will influence current organization of internal and some external processes, that are performed in different Sectors of our Company, during and after the project.
Because of the implementation of new, EMV Technology, we had to organize additional activities, which will only occur during the project. They include initial meetings and workshops with Banks and Process centers, improvements on infrastructure (POS terminals) and on software, both inside Erste Card and at our partners. Also important will be a thorough testing of new functionalities. Added to that, we will need to prepare new contracts and anexes, manuals with all the data about new, smart card for our merchants and so on.
Other activities will be permanent, they will be performed in different time intervals. Most affected departments will be Issuing, Finance, Credit Control and also Acquiring. Some of the processes will be changed, mostly Customers complaints, New POS Terminal certifications, production and distribution of new, Chip Cards and also operational risk procedures.
We did a raw estimation of all the impacts and found out that strenghts and oportunities outscore possible threats and weaknesses. Most problems are connected with Cardholders, but not by impacting their security. PIN is a key element that will make the new product safe for use.
For Erste Card d.o.o., liability shift is the main reason for implementation of EMV Technology. If we would not enhance current magnetic stripe cards, we would be under threat to cover all the expences for possible fraud, related to our portfolio of cards, against all franchises that are already using PIN and Chip technology

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Book review: digital humanitarians: how big data is changing the face of humanitarian response
No full textThe overflow of information generated during disasters can be as paralysing to humanitarian response as the lack of information. This flash flood of information is often referred to as Big Data, or Big Crisis Data. Making sense of Big Crisis Data is proving to be an impossible challenge for traditional humanitarian organisations, which is why they’re turning to Digital Humanitarians. Dimitrinka Atanasova finds the most effective and entertaining aspect of the book is the well-thought out link between digital humanitarians and a #DigitalJedis
