The development of new information technologies initiated the need for norm setting and standardization in the field of archival description. In contemporary society, it has become necessary to standardize the methods for making the description of archival materials, as well as formats for data exchange. Archival standards of the International Council on Archives (MAS): ISAD(G) – The international standard for archival description i ISAAR(CPF) – The international standard archival authority record for corporate bodies persons and families, ISDF – The international standard for describing functions i ISDIAH – The international standard for describing institutions with archival holdings that preserve archival materials used for the production of standardized means of information. Center for Information of Archives of Vojvodina designed a module for fund and collection processing within Information system of Archives of Vojvodina (ISAV) that supports thos standards for creaton of electronic information resources. In this module processes all funds and collections of Archives of Vojvodina that increase bases of available information resources day by day and will be soon available online to our customers.

In the following article main results are going to be summarized about three-dimensional web development and technologies. An introduction to 3D representation methods that are applied on the featured three-dimensional webpage is going to be presented. Transformation techniques will be described, which convert a traditional two-dimensional webpage into a fully functional three-dimensional platform. The methods and concepts used are based on technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The principle of automatic conversion is going to be showed, upon which almost any two-dimensional webpage can be converted into a 3D website, including minimal manual interaction.

In summary we can state that there are not many differences between archival standards ISAD(g) in one side and information in electronic archival information system AFondy and Methodological instruction for priority processing archival fonds on the other side. As yet unresolved area we see a strict hierarchical division of information about archival described by the level of individual items. Impulse for comparison with international standards, use of archival applications was need to solve a question if we are “compatible” with the world. Even before the future we take a final decision to adopt the standard or not, we have to answer a lot of questions. Hereby, we must recognize the entering of computer processing, online access to archival documents has influence at the unit and content of archival description.

State of preservation of archival materials taken from the field of education funds in the Archives of Canton is unsatisfactory. No funds are complete (they are rather fragmentary) nor their physical condition is proper. Neither the state of archival arrangement is not appropriate, although funds are available for use for scientific and other purposes. Because of the fragmentary structure of a small number of funds has inventories completed. That seems reasonable and justified by the fact that the majority of funds covers the period up to 1945. whether the registry stopped working or it continued to work, as is more often the case. Archives took over the holdings of various associations and joint institutions in the field of education made in accordance with the joint paper in 1976. which is good. In short: the state of registry and archival materials in the field of education must be given greater attention. We would be necessary to restore some of the archival funds from current and archival materials ,,live" registry, which requires adequate archival research. It would also be needed that at the stage of archival fund formation there should be concrete following of archival standards.

In contemporary armed conflicts, the discourse surrounding regulations pertaining to the safeguarding of cultural property under International Humanitarian Law (IHL) has regained its salience. With the latest advancements in technology and other aspects of warfare, the intricacies associated with the application of legal frameworks in the theatre of war have become increasingly convoluted. Notably, the preservation of cultural property during armed conflict has presented a significant challenge to International Humanitarian Law. Although the United Nations offers a multifaceted prototype for the protection of cultural property held by states, the implementation of these regulations is encumbered by gaps, which impede the complete compliance of the parties involved. This article analyses the legal frameworks pertinent to cultural property, with a particular focus on IHL. Furthermore, it offers several suggestions that can be implemented to preserve cultural property of significance and value, while addressing current lacunae in implementation.

A society’s healthy functioning within the framework of a State organization involves multiple obligations and limitations, which are a consequence of the public authorities’ consideration of various values. These include ensuring the protection of private property. In the context of immovable monuments, the physical safety of all who reside in the State’s territory, and guarding the national heritage, are all significant. These monuments are not always adequately protected from destruction or damage, which poses a threat to human safety and cultural security. Consideration of the protection of these values justifies the State’s encroachment on the right to private property when immovable monuments are threatened with destruction or damage, which is served by the institution of substitute execution. The purpose of the article is to try to answer the question of whether carrying out necessary conservation works and construction works under substitute execution is an effective means of protecting immovable monuments in the context of the State exercising its obligations to ensure the safety of citizens and guarding national heritage.

The article is devoted to the categories of threats and risks to state information security. The author starts from the assumption that the dynamic development of modern society has become an important factor of change in the security and defence environment. The aim of the publication is to identify threats to the shielding apparatus of processes related to the flow of news. It is worth mentioning that the intercessory-defensive nature of the institution can be understood directly or indirectly, as destructive actions interfering with the security subject. The concept of risk is associated with the uncertainty resulting from the security subject's actions, with its consequences, especially undesirable and unforeseen. The author therefore puts forward a thesis proclaiming the necessity for authorities (understood as a security subject) to acquire defensive and offensive skills in the infosphere. In doing so, he makes two points: mastering the capabilities mentioned above only reduces the level of risk, but does not eliminate it. Realistically taming these skills requires first and foremost education on many levels, from the basics of ‘cyber security’ behaviour to the professional training of information security specialists eo ipso, and thus capable of applying both IT and engineering knowledge and at the same time social sciences, above all defence sciences.
