“…This study also confirmed that IOC has a significant and positive effect on PVOF and health consciousness. Although many countries around the world have loosened their pandemic control policies, and people have adapted to the existence of COVID-19, the IOC on people’s daily lives still seems to be long-lasting and continuous [ 2 , 3 ]. Furthermore, this study is amongst the pioneers in understanding the mechanism of forming consumers’ continuous purchase intentions from the quantitative lens.…”

“…On 8 January 2023, three years after adopting a relatively strict ‘dynamic clearing’ epidemic prevention policy, the Chinese government recently loosened the COVID-19 measures in a major policy shift. At the same time, however, increasing numbers of people have recently been infected with COVID-19, which has been considered a long-term crisis without a foreseeable end date [ 2 , 3 ]. The lifestyle habits of billions of people, including physical activity levels and dietary habits, have drastically changed during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 3 , 4 ].…”

During the evolutionary phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers’ eating habits and spending behaviours have progressively shifted to the pursuit of the safer and healthier food products, such as organic food. Therefore, this study investigated the factors affecting Chinese buyers’ organic food continuous purchase intentions (CPI) during the post-pandemic era. To better adapt to the current consumption context in China, this study proposed a modified TPB framework (M-TPB), by replacing subjective norms with Chinese cultural variables, such as face consciousness and group conformity, and adding constructs of perceived value of organic food (PVOF), health consciousness, and the impact of COVID-19 (IOC). Convincingly, experimental results from a structural equation model analysis of 460 usable responses indicate that M-TPB has superior explanatory power (R2 = 65%) compared with the TPB model (R2 = 40%) for explaining organic food CPI during the post-pandemic period. The path analysis demonstrated that perceived behavioural control, attitude, face consciousness, group conformity, health consciousness, IOC, and PVOF had substantial positive effects on CPI, while subjective norms were not significantly related. Moreover, IOC exhibited a positive and significant relationship with health consciousness and PVOF. These findings can be useful for stakeholders in the Chinese organic food industry to generate timely promoting strategies during the post-pandemic period.

“…Flood can be a traumatic experience, with people experiencing helplessness, fear, and horror feelings. These traumatic experiences can encourage the development of mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (41). Displacement, and disruption of daily routines can be particularly challenging for adults, who may have established careers, homes, and social networks.…”

Disasters, whether arising from natural forces or human activities, engender substantial harm, loss, and, in severe cases, fatalities. The enduring repercussions extend across individuals, animals, societies, ecosystems, and geographical locations. The consequences of disasters on public health are particularly pronounced, manifesting in a spectrum of medical outcomes. This review delves into the specific impact of floods on distinct age groups, scrutinizing the varying vulnerabilities within each demographic. Infants, young children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly encounter distinctive challenges during and post-flood events, encompassing respiratory ailments, waterborne diseases, infections, hunger, physical injuries, and psychological disorders. Floods not only compromise healthcare services but also precipitate shortages in medication and suboptimal treatment. Health issues resulting from floods exhibit divergence among neonates, infants, children, adolescents, and older individuals. The susceptibility to physical injuries, infections, respiratory disorders, healthcare disruptions, mental health issues, malnutrition, and waterborne diseases varies with the unique vulnerabilities of each age group. Disruptions to routine life disproportionately impact children and adolescents, whereas infants and older individuals exhibit heightened susceptibility. Extreme flood events pose the potential for fatalities, with the risk contingent on both the severity of the flood and the age group affected. Older adults, newborns, and infants face a higher likelihood of mortality attributable to flood-related causes. Mitigating the adverse health effects of floods necessitates robust disaster planning, improved infrastructure, and targeted health interventions tailored to the age-related vulnerabilities of the population.

“…As a major public health emergency, COVID-19 is characterized by its suddenness, danger, variability and relevance to all people (Dillard & Meier, 2023). This epidemic triggered great concern in society and bred negative emotions, such as panic, anxiety and anger (Liang et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2022c). With the intertwining and collision of various negative emotions, under the constraints of limited time and resources and limited by knowledge, experience and cognitive ability, people easily lost their ability to perceive risks and think and judge rationally under normal circumstances (De Landsheer & Walburg, 2022).…”

As a major public health emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic has some uncertainties. Coupling of the uncertainties and anti-epidemic policies easily leads to the spread of negative emotions. It is challenging to maintain the sustainability of anti-epidemic measures. Therefore, this paper aimed to analyze the challenges that the sustainability of anti-epidemic measures is faced with. A topic clustering extension method was proposed, which integrated Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic information with Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) contextual information through aspect-based sentiment analysis. In addition, this paper constructed a thesaurus of aspect words from the two stages of dynamic zero-COVID and orderly relaxation of epidemic control. This paper established the BERT-pair-ABSA model for semantic expansion of auxiliary sentences and calculated sentiment polarity to gain insight into the changes in netizens' concerns, emotional states and evolution trends at different stages. The research results showed: (1) Compared with the benchmark model, the proposed sentiment analysis model had better classification accuracy and was applicable to the sentiment classification of short texts in the epidemic situation; (2) During the dynamic zero-COVID stage, netizens paid attention to grassroots epidemic management and the scope of lockdown and epidemic control, which were closely related to both specific lockdown and control management, and the implementation of regional epidemic management; and (3) in the orderly relaxation stage of epidemic control, netizens were concerned about drug guarantee, medical care guarantee, personal health protection and health protection of special population groups, and negative emotions always dominated in drug guarantee, medical care guarantee and health protection of special groups. The negative sentiment of drug guarantee, medical care guarantee and health protection of special groups always dominated. The results provided an empirical basis for the optimization and adjustment of the anti-epidemic policies.
