Workshop on Distributed, Collaborative, and Federated Learning,
DeCaF 2022, and the Second MICCAI Workshop on Affordable AI and
Healthcare, FAIR 2022, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2022, in
Singapore in September 2022. FAIR 2022 was held as a hybrid
event.DeCaF 2022 accepted 14 papers from the 18 submissions
received. The workshop aims at creating a scientific discussion
focusing on the comparison, evaluation, and discussion of
methodological advancement and practical ideas about machine
learning applied to problems where data cannot be stored in
centralized databases or where information privacy is a priority.
For FAIR 2022, 4 papers from 9 submissions were accepted for
publication. The topics of the accepted submissions focus on deep
ultrasound segmentation, portable OCT image quality enhancement,
self-attention deep networks and knowledge distillation in

In this book the authors offer their unique perspectives on the
important roles Chinese students and intellectuals played in the
shaping of the twentieth-century China. Their answers to these
pivotal questions explore new nationalistic spirit, modern
world-views, and willingness of self-sacrifice, which had
attributed to the spontaneous actions of the students as a "New
Culture" emerged during the May Fourth Movement. These articles
show how China nurtured these spontaneous student movements, even
though the Nationalist Party in the Republic of China and the
Communist Party in the People's Republic had exerted tight control
over schools. Both governments established organizations as well as
operations among students that effectively turned some of the
student movements into a political instrument by the parties for
their own agenda.
There are some serious concerns and critical questions about the
on-going minority protesting in China, such as Tibetan monks'
self-immolations, Muslims' suicide bombings, and Uyghur large-scale
demonstrations. Why are minorities such as the Uyghur dissatisfied,
when China is rising as a world power? What kind of struggle must
they go through to maintain their identity, heritage, and rights?
How does the government deal with this ethnic dissatisfaction and
minority riots? And what is ethnic China's future in the 21st
century? Ethnic China examines these issues from the perspective of
Chinese-American scholars from fields such as economics, political
science, criminal justice, law, anthropology, sociology, and
education. The contributors introduce and explore the theory and
practice of policy patterns, political systems, and social
institutions by identifying key issues in Chinese government,
society, and ethnic community contained within the larger framework
of the international sphere.Their endeavors move beyond the
existing scholarship and seek to spark new debates and proposed
solutions while reflecting on established schools of history,
religion, linguistics, and gender studies.
Evolution and Power: China's Struggle, Survival, and Success,
edited by Xiaobing Li and Xiansheng Tian, brings together scholars
from multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive look at China
s rapid socio-economic transformation and the dramatic changes in
its political institution and culture. Investigating subjects such
as party history, leadership style, personality, political
movements, civil-military relations, intersection of politics and
law, and democratization, this volume situates current legitimacy
and constitutional debates in the context of both the country s
ideology, traditions, and the wider global community. The
contributors to this volume clarify key Chinese conceptual
frameworks to explain previous subjects that have been confusing or
neglected, offering case studies and policy analyses connected with
power struggles and political crises in China. A general pattern is
introduced and developed to illuminate contemporary problems with
government accountability, public opposition, and political
transparency. Evolution and Power provides essential scholarship on
China s political development and growth.
Corruption and Anti-Corruption in Modern China collects essays from
the scholars in their fields and examines the ongoing corruption in
China by addressing this important topic from a historical
perspective through a cooperative interdisciplinary research effort
among Chinese-American scholars interested in the subject. Their
scholarship makes a significant contribution through multi-faceted
components from different fields such as history, economics,
political science, criminal justice, and popular culture. The
authors introduce and explore the theory and practice of policy
patterns, political systems, and social institutions by identifying
key issues in Chinese government and society contained within the
larger framework of the international sphere. This book describes a
historical transition when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
maintained its forceful control of cities while the middle class
reluctantly sacrificed its rights in exchange for retaining their
economic benefits. To survive market economy, the party leadership
became more flexible and was able to adapt to economic and social
change. The CCP governments in our research responded to the rising
demands and expectations of the society. They were willing and able
to cope with the middle class by making a few compromises and
following certain legal procedures in exchange for continuing
political support. These practical comprises characterized a new
political culture in PRC history since 1949. The book voices the
complaints and resentments in the cities, and interprets government
policies and legal practices. It emphasizes the consequence for
governance, human rights, and commercial rule of law, all of which
threatens the legitimacy of the CCP. It also suggests an important
evolution of the CCP. The reform movement since the 1980s has not
yet contributed significantly to the country's democratic
transformation or to its social stability. The leaders in the 1990s
focused on liberal economic reform while discouraging and even
stifling political reform. As a result, economic interest groups
successfully established an alliance with CCP officials to control
economic policy-making and to share political governance. In the
2010s, Chinese leaders have paid special attention to political
scandals, corruption, and mismanagement in the government and in
the Party.

While the Chinese urban movement has successfully transferred
surplus labor from the countryside to urban industries that
urgently require free and cheap labor, numerous problems have
arisen as a result of the unprecedented huge-scale process. Such
conditions such as overcrowding, substandard housing, lack of
social services, corruption, and abuse of power have often reached
crisis stage. American college students often ask: How does the
government control the largest urban population in the world? Why
do newly developed, highly commercialized cities continue to
support the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rather than challenging
the old regime? What happens when urban residents have problems
with a party-controlled government? This book, collects essays from
the best scholars in their fields and examines urban issues,
including identifying residents' concerns, analyzing policy
problems, and providing some answers to these pivotal questions.
They address this important topic from a Chinese-American
perspective through a cooperative interdisciplinary research effort
among Chinese-American scholars interested in the subject. Their

components from different fields such as economics, political
science, criminal justice, law, anthropology, sociology, and
education. The authors introduce and explore the theory and
practice of policy patterns, political systems, and social
institutions by identifying key issues in Chinese government and
society contained within the larger framework of the international
sphere. Originally from Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Tianjin, and
other cities in China, these authors have received training and
advanced degrees from American universities and colleges, thus
bringing uncommon perspective and conclusions by focusing on urban
studies specific to China. Their endeavors move beyond the existing
scholarship and seek to spark new debates and proposed solutions
while reflecting on established schools of history, religion,
linguistics, and gender studies. Crucial to this volume is the
assessment of historical and empirical data found in these essays
that place major events in the context of Chinese tradition, its
culture, and national security. Using comprehensive coverage to
create a broad and solid foundation of knowledge, this collection
presents a better understanding of the current Chinese metropolitan
climate and includes legitimate issues with city policy
implementation.
