1. The Pierre Auger Observatory open dataV. Scherini, Andrej Filipčič, Jon Paul Lundquist, Shima Ujjani Shivashankara, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2025, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: During almost 20 years of regular data acquisition, the Pierre Auger Observatory, the world's largest facility for measuring ultra-high energy cosmic rays, has collected a vast and diverse amount of data covering complementary research fields from astroparticle and fundamental physics to space weather science.
The Pierre Auger Collaboration has embraced the concept of open access to research data since its foundation. Since then, a gradual release process has been initiated, and a dedicated task force has been established to implement and sustain this effort over the long term. In line with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, the mandate of the task force includes the selection of data samples and the documented translation of in-house analyses codes into popular and available software for easy exploration and manipulation of the data.
The Pierre Auger Open Data Portal was launched in February 2021 and contains 10% of the cosmic-ray data and 100% of the atmospheric and space-weather data. Since its initial release, the Portal has been extended and updated with new data samples. It also includes a detailed catalog of the showers created by the highest-energy particles and an outreach section aimed at engaging the general public in cosmic-ray science. The foreseen increase of the fraction of released cosmic-ray data to 30% and the inclusion of new detectors will further boost the scientific community's interest in the Observatory's data and their use for education and outreach initiatives.

2. The Pierre Auger Observatory open dataA. Abdul Halim, Andrej Filipčič, Jon Paul Lundquist, Shima Ujjani Shivashankara, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The Pierre Auger Collaboration has embraced the concept of open access to their research data since its foundation, with the aim of giving access to the widest possible community. A gradual process of release began as early as 2007 when 1% of the cosmic-ray data was made public, along with 100% of the space-weather information. In February 2021, a portal was released containing 10% of cosmic-ray data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory from 2004 to 2018, during the first phase of operation of the Observatory. The Open Data Portal includes detailed documentation about the detection and reconstruction procedures, analysis codes that can be easily used and modified and, additionally, visualization tools. Since then, the Portal has been updated and extended. In 2023, a catalog of the highest-energy cosmic-ray events examined in depth has been included. A specific section dedicated to educational use has been developed with the expectation that these data will be explored by a wide and diverse community, including professional and citizen scientists, and used for educational and outreach initiatives. This paper describes the context, the spirit, and the technical implementation of the release of data by the largest cosmic-ray detector ever built and anticipates its future developments.

3. Converting apprehensive customers to willing customers : building trust in online shopping arenaSaibal K. Pal, 2017, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study focuses on knowing about the factors that can affect the trust levels of the consumers involved in online shopping. Trust has been identified as a prominent factor that ultimately leads to the transformation of the apprehensive customers into willing customers. The role of website design features and portal affiliation is tested regarding their impact in affecting the trusting beliefs of the customers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was put to use to do the statistical testing on the data collected through students of tier III city of India. The results
showed that the website design features have an important role to play in affecting the trusting beliefs of the people whereas portal affiliation didn’t have much of a role. The study
implies that the website managers must focus on their design features if they want to gain the trust of their customers. The portal affiliation wouldn’t be fruitful in the case of a student
at least. Better shoppers amongst students must be attracted towards portals through innovative designs and features.
Ključne besede: online shopping, building trust, website design features, portal affiliation, structural equation modelling, theory of reasoned action
