The present issue of Engenharia Térmica debuts a new numeration system that includes year, volume and number. It is one step forward for improving registry efficiency and knowledge dissemination, fostering interaction between faculty and industry, one of the original editorial objectives of Engenharia Térmica, established in 2001.A considerable amount of resources has been directed to research, aiming at the scientific and technological development of nations. When accounting for the granted funds, the researcher should go beyond the simple technical reporting, ensuring that the produced knowledge should be available to society in its most broad and disseminated way. This is only possible with the publication of the results of his/her work on a periodical of archival value, made available to the public in libraries or in the internet. Engenharia Térmica contributes to this effort by allowing for publication of scientific and technological work in the area of Thermal Sciences, which will find application in key areas to the world, such as Energy and Environment.Also, submission of work derived from the cooperation between university and industry, or originated directly from the industry’s own research and development department, is strongly encouraged.The present issue further contains expanded and revised papers that have originally been presented at ENCIT 2002 (9th Brazilian Congress of Thermal Engineering and Sciences). This has been a successful policy of Engenharia Térmica, which should be extended to other ABCM (Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences) national conferences, COBEM and CONEM,and to thematic events, such as, for example, Mercofrio and Conbrava, from Refrigeration.As in the past issues of Engenharia Térmica, two main sections classify the papers. Science contains papers related to the advancements of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat and Mass Transfer, and to novel theories or advanced numerical and experimental methods. Technology is directed to technological contributions in Thermal Engineering, including the presentation of papers featuring technological innovations.

The intimate, though as yet imperfectly understood, causal relation-ship between scientific and technological development and the economic growth in industrially advanced countries over the past 30 years has been investigated and refined over a number of years, and attempts have been made to quantify the relationship. Although a strong scientific and technological (S & T) base does not by itself guarantee rapid economic growth, most observers consider it to be a necessary prerequisite, after a certain level of development has been reached. One of the main ways that S & T act on the economic system is by the generation of new knowledge through research activities and the application of this in production. Such application often results in new products and processes which are grouped under the term “technological innovations.” The innovation process is usually defined as “the technical, industrial and commercial steps which lead to the successful marketing of new manufactured products and/or to the commercial use of technically new processes or equipment.”

Engenharia Térmica has the goal of obtaining international scientific indexation in worldly recognized Scientific Institutes (e.g., COMPENDEX, ISI). For that, since the issue Vol. 1, No. 2, all articles have been written only in English, and since Vol. 2, No. 1, the periodicity has been rigorously by semester. From Engenharia Térmica Vol. 3, No. 2, a sequential page numbering has been adopted for each volume, that is the merge of 2 issues of Engenharia Térmica, i.e., one volume per year. Volume 1 of Engenharia Térmica resulted from the merge of the 2 first issues. From 2005, a process to guarantee the authors’ copyright transfer is being established. In 2006, the application process for the international scientific indexation of Engenharia Térmica will be initiated, i.e., after 3 years of continuous publication in English and with an effective publication periodicity by semester.With respect to the contribution of articles to Engenharia Térmica by the readers, submission of work derived from the cooperation between university and industry, or originated directly from the industry’s own research and development department, is strongly encouraged. In the present issue the publication of expanded and revised papers that have originally been presented at ENCIT2004, held in the period from November 29 to December 3, 2004, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (10th Brazilian Congress of Thermal Engineering and Sciences). This has been a successful policy of Engenharia Térmica, which should be extended to other ABCM (Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences) national conferences, COBEM and CONEM, and to thematic events, such as, for example, Mercofrio and Conbrava, in the area of Refrigeration. As in the past issues of Engenharia Térmica, two main sections classify the papers: Science contains papers related to the advancements of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat and Mass Transfer, and to novel theories or advanced numerical and experimental methods, and Technology is directed to technological contributions in Thermal Engineering, including the presentation of papers featuring technological innovations.

Despite the fact that Russia remained among the ten leading countries by the share of costs for technological innovations in the total volume of delivered products, the gap in the level of innovation performance remained serious. In terms of the specific weight of technological innovation costs in the total volume of the delivered goods, performed works and rendered services (2,1%), Russia in 2018 ranked 9 th among European countries. In terms of its share of the research and development costs in the total cost of technological innovations (45,2%) – 14th place and in terms of the specific weight of the innovative goods, works, services in the total volume of goods delivered, works performed, services rendered (6,5%) – 24th place out of 30. An analysis of the foreign and Russian experience of the innovation organization showed that in order to multiply the share of innovative industrial products in the total production, it was necessary to create such a system of organization and management of scientific and tech- nological development, which, unlike current practice and by analogy with the key principle of modern concepts of the production organization – the principle of “pulling” – would be able to form a real paid demand for applied R & D and subsequently for basic research. At the same time, in addition to the existing stream of ideas from academic science to production, it is necessary to organize a back-stream of demand – from the factory science, which is at the forefront of understanding the current needs of industry – to the applied one and then to academic science within the range of issues really essential for production.

The past few decades have been marked by a rapid scientific and technological development. One of the most paradoxical, and perhaps more disturbing, features of this process is the growing divide between the increased importance science has acquired in economic and social life and a society persistently showing spreading signs of contempt, mistrust and, most of all, disinterest in research.

If we want to describe the surrounding reality, while at the same time trying to grasp the best key to it, it seems that the word “change” is the most appropriate. Museums rank among that category of culture institutions which, while undergoing changes, and caring for their own institutional and axiological autonomy, attempt at the same time to influence the very changes; this, however, makes them face identity dilemmas, the necessity to find the right balance between the responsibilities that are sometimes referred to as “traditional ones”, namely the ones they have towards the collections, and the obligations commonly regarded to be an attribute of “modernity”, these towards the public in the variety of their impressive turnout growth and the increase of their expectations. The way to stabilize change effects, while at the same to stimulate them, also with respect to the closest editing of the museum Annual, are legislative efforts and bills. One could even be tempted to make the statement, this not fully irony-free, that the history of Polish museology is actually the history of implemented and unimplemented legislative projects (the latter dominating), of the attempts to define the position of museums in the context of the synergically perceived “cultural legacy”, of finding for them the appropriate governance model, without rejecting the above-mentioned identity dilemmas. The goal of the “Muzealnictwo” Annual No. 60 is to present an overview of the past and current trials to amend the “Museum Act”, to identify areas for essential corrections, reasons for negligence, yet first and foremost, difficulties in applying them to the culture domain in which the most frequently applied word next to “change” (and most highly appreciated by museum circles) is the word “specificity”. This overview will hopefully contribute to the reflection on the capacity of institutional operating under the circumstances in which the inadequacy between the letter of the law and its enforcement can be observed. Next to the theme that is key to the present issue of the “Muzealnictwo” Annual, you will find the well established and known sections describing the spheres of museum operations, these occurring regardless of the lapse of time and their legislative creations.

Historically, the process of economic and technological development the was caused by both extensive and intensive use of natural resources, in which, in general, the ecological principles of development were not taken into account. By the beginning of the 1970s, the need for a fundamental change in the activities of primary production and business units became evident, which is explained by two factors: environmental awareness of the public and activation of the preparation of market mechanisms for the adaptation of socio-ecological attitudes At the turn of the 1990s, ideas of this kind were no longer popular. On the contrary, today the modern forms of scientific and technological development should be considered in the context of adequate “work” of market relations, creating prerequisites for a “balanced relationship” between productive, economic, social activities and the preservation of the natural environment.

The development of the industrial and technological complex of the electronic and radio-electronic industry is associated with the priorities in the development of industry and the country as a whole. The situation in the industry today was predetermined a hundred years ago and programmed 40-60 years ago. Short-sighted priorities of state scientific and technological development, departmental disunity and planning errors for the development of new industries, World Wars I and II, civil war, isolation of the country from international cooperation, starting with the non-recognition and boycott of the USSR, the COCOM regime and sanctions, combined with the accumulated colossal underfunding of the industry caused the long-term systemic lag of Russian electronics from competitors. The cycle of three articles is devoted to an attempt to answer the question: is it possible to reverse the situation that has developed due to a series of strategic miscalculations of the past periods of the country's development, and can this happen when implementing the strategy for the development of the electronics industry until 2030? This article focuses on the period of technological breakthrough in the 1961-70s and the subsequent collapse of the industry in the 90s of the 20th century.
