PREFACE BY THE EDITORIAL BOARD

  Dear readers,

It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the new issue of our magazine. However, before I do it, let me elaborate on the contextual conditions which exist upon preparation of one issue of the magazine. Business sector as usual is not interested to help, since it can see no financial interest in helping such specialized scientific magazines. The writer of these lines also encounters crisis in motivation of reviewers who, in lack of financial satisfaction, refuse to review certain papers. You will probably agree with me that in the western developed world this situation is almost unthinkable. Despite all those difficulties and obstacles the editor in chief in the meantime succeeded in indexing the magazine in several more international data bases, such as:  Scirus, Hinari, ETBU, Socol@r and Open J Gate. Тhe editor managed to provide a sufficient ammount of financial resources for the publishing of this issue. It should be emphasized that a special website of the magazine JSER online is in process of preparation which will be an official website and where it would be possible to obtain all the relevant data. On this occasion I would especially like to thank the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy from Skopje, professor Trajan Gocevski, PhD, who selflessly supported in continuance the life of the magazine. I sincerely hope that the new Dean, professor Goran Ajdinski, PhD, will have the strength to finance even more our renowned magazine.
Dear readers, in this issue 1-2 for 2009 which you have in front of you, you can read interesting and original papers, perceive certain researches and of course find other significant wordings from our area of expertise.
