Dear colleagues,
Numerous authors have given certain definitions of science, as well as terms related to it. According to the encyclopedia Wikipedia, science is a system of organized and systematized knowledge
about us and the world around us. The scientific method, as a standard for science, combines the use of careful observation, experiments, measurements, mathematics, and repetition.
Using scientific methods to make new discoveries is called scientific research. In the modern world, scientific research is the most important activity of all developed countries, and scientists are expected to publish their findings in reference journals, scientific periodicals, where reviewers check the stated scientific results, before publishing the work.
Given the above, the Journal of mechanical engineering MAŠINSTVO has a long-lasting mission of contributing to the publication of scientific achievements in the field of technology.
In this double issue, the Journal of mechanical engineering MAŠINSTVO offers four papers from different thematic areas: optimization of elements of the cutting processing regime using a planned experiment, application of Monte Carlo method for optimization of the mathematical model of surface roughness, mathematical and numerical analysis of the relationship among Loschmidt’s constant, Avogadro’s constant and the speed of sound in real gases at different thermodynamic properties, and a research into the English language speaking skills in engineering CLIL instruction.
In order to present scientific-research and professional capacities, the Journal follows new trends and practices in multidisciplinary areas.
The ‘Guidelines for Authors’ section provides basic guidelines for preparing and writing papers. As previously planned, all papers for (and from it on) the next issue will have to be written only in English. We kindly invite all esteemed colleagues, especially our young colleagues, from all universities and other related institutions, to take part in publishing the results of their scientific and professional research within this Journal, which is a significant project of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of University in Zenica and provides the opportunity for presentations of scientific research and professional research results from highlighted, and related, thematic areas.
In relevant sections, we continue the tradition of presenting scientific-research and economic capacities from our environment.
Sincerely,
Fuad Hadžikadunić, Editor-in-Chief
