This research endeavours to systematically investigate the multifaceted domain of AI literacy, given the pervasive impact of artificial intelligence on diverse facets of contemporary human existence. The inquiry is motivated by a fundamental question posed to educators: how best to cultivate AI literacies and competencies and how these proficiencies are structured and influenced. Employing a rigorous two-part methodology, the initial phase scrutinises 28 studies from the SCOPUS database, unveiling five distinct discourses germane to AI literacy. Subsequently, the second phase involves the administration of questionnaires to 73 students, whose responses undergo thematic analysis to discern patterns within the four domains delineated by Ng et al. The ensuing discourse underscores a pivotal revelation: despite formal adherence to established discourses, the conceptualisation of AI literacy necessitates a departure from conventional perspectives. Ethical principles, elucidated by students, emerge not merely as individual components but as integral facets of a broader societal literacy profile, thereby advocating a paradigm shift towards social reflection. This novel insight prompts a critical re-evaluation of AI literacy's prevailing assumptions and conceptual frameworks, urging a transition towards models grounded in ecological or network dynamic interactionist principles.

Purpose -- This study aims to analyze the different ways of conceptualizing Floridi's concept of inforg concerning the applicability of this concept in information science and the philosophy of information. Design / methodology / approach -- The study uses a theoretical analysis of the background and implications of three different conceptualizations of the inforg phenomenon and examines them theoretically. Results -- The first two approaches are based on Floridi and refer to the inforg as an entity and the inforg as an information organism. The study shows that Floridi's conception of the inforg needs to be more consistent and complimented. The third conception, the inforg as a distributed dynamic actor in a network, attempts to remove some of the limitations of the previous conceptions, offering its original conception in which the inforg is a dynamic distributed structure that is temporally and situationally variable depending on the specific forms and goals of information interactions. Originality / value -- The third approach we propose allows inforg to be used in the new concepts of authorship, citation ethics, and information retrieval or to describe sociotechnical systems, especially in emerging systems with generative artificial intelligence.

The historiographical study analyses libraries as institutions that work with the collective memory of the nations in which they are located while educating all inhabitants. Libraries represent one of the crucial institutions of modern Czechoslovak society. This study focuses on their research from the perspective of the anthropology of institutions. Within the framework of Czechoslovakia, it analyses three stages of historical development: 1918-1938, 1938-1948 and 1948-1968. The study seeks to uncover anthropological patterns that implicitly shape the structure, meaning and methods of functioning of libraries and their social order. It also explains why libraries were essential institutions for Masaryk's Czechoslovakia and the totalitarian communist state. The study shows libraries as an institution with a high degree of historical continuity and, at the same time, discontinuously changing from a place of education for democracy into a means ofpropaganda and indoctrination.

Working with digitized cultural heritage is an important aspect of education. This article offers research on the interaction of pupils and teachers with digitized cultural heritage processed in the Twine2 environment, focusing on exploring the potential use of digital nonlinear stories in the teaching of humanities in high schools. The aim of this study is to describe the design process that led to the creation of 16 innovative educational resources, and to present the results of their pilot testing and evaluation, which subsequently took place among participating teachers and pupils. For the evaluation, we used a mix of design methods, combining a quantitative and qualitative approach. Both the teachers and the pupils were asked about their experience and takeaways from the interaction with the resources offered. The findings show that presenting educational content in the form of a nonlinear interactive story is a suitable alternative to the traditional frontal educational approach, as both teachers and pupils perceived the resources as intuitive, appealing, and effective in helping to achieve the set educational goals. The study also highlights some key recommendations for future designers of nonlinear interactive stories, which emerged from the respondents' feedback. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A rank estimator in robust regression is a minimizer of a function which depends (in addition to other factors) on the ordering of residuals but not on their values. Here we focus on the optimization aspects of rank estimators. We distinguish two classes of functions: a class with a continuous and convex objective function (CCC), which covers the class of rank estimators known from statistics, and also another class (GEN), which is far more general. We propose efficient algorithms for both classes. For GEN we propose an enumerative algorithm that works in polynomial time as long as the number of regressors is O (1). The proposed algorithm utilizes the special structure of arrangements of hyperplanes that occur in our problem and is superior to other known algorithms in this area. For the continuous and convex case, we propose an unconditionally polynomial algorithm finding the exact minimizer, unlike the heuristic or approximate methods implemented in statistical packages.
