Exploring how people negotiate and reconcile, construct and re-construct their distinctive gender and ethnic identities in a cross-cultural context, Hu examines what happens when two distinct cultures meet at the intimate interface of marriage and family. Chinese-British Intermarriage reveals how gender and ethnic identities intersect in distinctive ways in shaping the lived experiences of intermarried couples. Through the kaleidoscope of first-generation Chinese-British inter-ethnic families in the UK, the book brings together family, gender, migration and ethnic studies, reflecting on ongoing social processes such as individualisation and globalisation.

The book grapples with social inequality, inclusivity, and diversity through the discussions of wellbeing, wellbecoming, and resilience of floating children and left-behind children. It invites families, schools, communities, social organisations, and governments to rethink and recognise the qualities of left-behind children and floating children. The book will be of interest to research students, sociologists of education, educational studies scholars, social workers, school professionals, and policy makers in and beyond China. The past two decades have seen exponential growth of urbanisation and migration in China. Emerging from this growth are a myriad population of floating children and left-behind children and the ever greater social-spatial interpenetration that places these children at risk of undesirable wellbeing. The living and schooling of these children are fraught with potholes and distractions in the context of migration and urbanisation. Extant work often treats floating children and left-behind children as two discrete populations and comes to grips with their wellbeing separately. The deficit model and the ‘do-gooder’ approach have prevailed for a long time, intending to fix the “problems” and correct the “abnormalities” associated with these children. This book differs, however, in its efforts to blur the dichotomy between floating children and left-behind children; in its transformative view and strength-based approach that recast vulnerabilities into opportunities; and in its focus on the nurture of enabling ecologies instead of the nature of individual inferiorities.

Ovarian cancer, as one of the most common gynecological diseases with a relatively low survival rate, in order to target research on this troublesome disease, the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) consortium has been focusing on the development and validation of diagnostic clinical prediction models for ovarian cancer for the past two decades. With regard to this, over 10,000 patients to date have been conducted within multiple large multicenter studies. During the twenty-year period, one of the observations aroused the interest of researchers, the performance of the models varies between centers. More specifically, the key measures of performance have consisted of discrimination evaluation and calibration evaluation, which could achieve by observing the area under the ROC curve and the calibration intercept and slope, respectively. Spotlighting on this project, the aim is the reuse the collected data in previous to find reasonable explanations and feasible solutions for the detected heterogeneity. The core purpose is subdivided into three distinguishable but connected objectives. The first objective will use the validation results of IOTA5 patients operated immediately from multiple centers consequently, seven possible factors that contribute to the heterogeneous performance of prediction models have been detected. Next, for the second objective, by using the case study in ovarian cancer diagnosis, methods to develop prediction models on multicenter data and their impact on performance heterogeneity will try to find. The center-specific model performance with relatively greater on both discriminate and calibration sides. Lastly, it is worthwhile and amusing to adjust prediction models over time and their impact on performance and heterogeneity by using a case study in ovarian cancer diagnosis. Further challenges are also seriously proposed.
