The Editorial

The AABSS organized its second international conference in partnership with the JDA in Sydney, Australia during April 13-14, 2015. The University of Central Queensland was kind enough to offer conference facility at its Sydney downtown campus.

In that conference, about 100 participants came from over 30 different countries representing 5 continents. Out of which, a selected number of pieces were chosen for the JDA special issue for this conference.

We are pleased to present this issue to you on time. The success of our conference and this issue is attributable to the participants of the Sydney conference in April 2015. However, for all the loopholes and shortcomings this may have, I bear full responsibility on behalf of the AABSS and the JDA editorial office, and offer my sincere apology.
