No full textV diplomskem delu sem predstavila sam pomen elektronskega poslovanja, kot tudi njegov razvoj ter prednosti in slabosti.
Zatem sem opisala elektronsko bančništvo kot del elektronskega poslovanja. Znotraj tega poglavja so opisane storitve elektronskega bančništva od bankomata, plačilnih kartic, mobilnega bančništva, telefonskega bančništva, telebankinga in interneta.
Kot eno izmed najbolj razširjenih storitev elektronskega bančništva so nadalje predstavljene plačilne kartice, njihova zgodovina in vrste plačilnh kartic.
V tem poglavju je podrobneje opisan tudi bankomat, kot sredstvo za dvigovanje gotovine z uporabe bančne kartice in pa POS terminal kot način plačila z bančno kartico a samih prodajnih mestih kot alternativa gotovinskemu poslovanju. Razvoj uporabe POS terminala je danes prišel do te mere, da nam omogoča brezstično plačevanje na prodajnem mestu.
Varnost poslovanja je nadvse pomembna in danes je z razvojem elektronskega poslovanja povezana tudi zloraba plačilnih kartic, predvsem na bankomatih in pa pri spletnem nakupovanju. Zlorab na bankomatih je več vrst, najpogostejše pa so namestitev »skimming« naprave, »libanonska zanka« in zagozda. Vse te so podrobneje opisane v diplomskem delu.
V zadnjem poglavju pa sem predstavila samo knjiženje plačil plačilnih kartic opravljenih v poslovanlnicah trgovskega podjetja. Predstavljen je sam postopek od plačila s kartico na prodajnem mestu do zaključka obračuna le-tega z odteglajem na imetnikovem računu in poravnavo tega zneska med banko in podjetjem.
Razmah uporabe plačilnih kartic danes je v polnem teku in temu sledijo tudi banke in podjetja, kot njihove izdajateljice. Poleg uporabe kartic kot plačilno sredstvo nam banke in podjetja ponujajo vrsto uporabnih rešitev pri njihovi uporabi. S tem trendom se bo to tudi nadaljevalo, kot cilj zadovoljstva uporabnikov in sledenju današnjemu tempu življenja.In the thesis the importance of e-commerce, as well as its development, advantages and disadvantages are presented.
Electronic banking as a part of e-commerce is described as well. Within this chapter I describe the electronic banking services such as ATM, payment/credit cards, mobile banking, telephone banking, telebanking and Internet.
Furthermore, there is a presentation of credit cards which are the most widely used electronic banking services, their history and the types of credit cards.
This chapter describes the ATM, as a meanof withdrawing cash using bank cards and POS terminal as a way of paying with a bank card alone which are an alternative to cash transactionsin detail. Developing the use of the POS terminal has nowadayscome to such an extension that enables contactless payments at any point of sale.
Security operations are of great importance and today the development of e-commerce also enables misusage and abuse of credit cards, especially at ATMs and while online shopping. There are some types of the abuse of ATMs and the most common are installing "skimming" devices, "Lebanese loop" and wedge. All of them are described in detail in the thesis.
In the last chapter, posting of payments done by credit cards at the branch offices of trading company is presented. The process of payments with cards, from the point of sale to its completion,together with witholdings from the holder\u27s account and the settlement of the amount between the bank and the company, is described.
The expansion of the usage of credit cards is now in its full swing and it is followed by banks and companies, as their issuers. In addition to the usage of cards as a mean of payment, banks and companies offer a wide range of solutions for their application and usage. This trend will surely continue as the main goal of ensuring customer’s satisfaction and following-up the today\u27s pace of life
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Going beyond the expert-performance framework in the domain of chess
No full textEricsson (2014, this issue) further sharpened the expert-performance framework and provided a critical review of the evidence presented in this special issue. The findings from the prototypical expertise domain of chess were interpreted by Ericsson to be consistent with his framework and he does not accept that general cognitive abilities can account for variance in expert performance. In this response, I argue (a) that Ericsson drew a biased picture of the research findings by using a very conservative definition of expert performance, (b) that Ericsson's main alternative explanation of the research findings in the domain of chess, i.e., selection processes in the access to training opportunities, is speculative and implausible, and (c) that central evidence from the extended expert novice paradigm has not been considered in his review. Future research on the relation and interplay between general cognitive abilities and expertise needs to go beyond theories and methods of the expert-performance framework. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
