This issue highlights the internationalization of the journal with the publication of manuscripts by authors from: UK, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, USA, and Australia.

It was a pleasure and a challenge to edit this issue - the Chinese characters and phonetic symbols kept both myself and the typesetters on their toes.
