Public Attitudes Towards Pre-Cooked Food: A Multivariate Survey on Trust, Food Security, Health and Willingness to Eat Pre-Cooked Food in Daily Life
This study investigates consumer perceptions and purchasing behaviors related to pre-cooked food using multidimensional data analysis. The findings highlight food safety, product diversity, and price as the primary factors influencing consumer choices. Education level and gender play significant roles in shaping purchasing decisions: individuals with higher education levels tend to exhibit greater awareness and acceptance of pre-cooked food, while women generally express stronger concerns about food safety and freshness compared to men. Furthermore, occupation is closely associated with purchase frequency-office workers are more likely to buy pre-cooked food, and consumers who frequently cook at home demonstrate a higher inclination to purchase these products. Factor analysis revealed two key dimensions affecting consumers' continued consumption intention: the product perception dimension and the quality and safety dimension. Cluster analysis further divided consumers into two distinct groups-one emphasizing food safety and product diversity, and another prioritizing price and cost-effectiveness. Overall, these results offer practical insights for developing targeted marketing strategies in the pre-cooked food sector and provide a valuable foundation for future studies on consumer behavior and market segmentation.

Investigation and Analysis of Occupational Health of High-Altitude Tunnel Construction Workers
With the development of the economy and society, occupational health has attracted increasing public and institutional attention. Nowadays, occupational health has become an important indicator for measuring the level of national social development and corporate social responsibility. However, there is relatively little research on the occupational health of tunnel construction workers in high-altitude areas. The construction environment of tunnels in high-altitude areas is harsher, which has a greater impact on the occupational health of construction workers. Therefore, this article takes the Laze Tunnel as the research site and selects 77 construction workers as samples to conduct occupational health surveys. The analysis of the survey results shows that there is a close relationship between working hours, environmental factors, and work characteristics, all of which significantly influence the workers' health status. At the same time, employees' attitudes towards occupational health norms also affect their compliance behavior and subsequent health outcomes. Therefore, it is recommended that enterprises strengthen occupational health management, optimize the working environment, arrange work hours reasonably, and enhance the promotion and training of occupational health norms to improve the occupational health level of employees.

Derivation and Spread of Social Risks in Global Public Health Crises
The emergence and spread of risks during PHEIC have introduced new challenges for national and social governance. This study develops a "Content-Media-Driving Forces" framework and applies case analysis through theoretical review, categorizing risks stemming from PHEIC into two main types: tangible risks and public opinion risks. Tangible risks encompass structural and procedural dimensions, whereas public opinion risks arise from prevailing societal judgments and the moralization of critique. Throughout the risk evolution process, these two categories interact dynamically, creating a complex network that amplifies risk derivation and dissemination in a multi-directional manner. Effective social risk management necessitates stringent regulation of epidemic control measures, with a particular emphasis on mitigating procedural social risks, addressing public concerns promptly, and curbing the spread of public discourse that could in-tensify interactions between public opinion risks and broader social risks.

Exploring Calcium Sources in Vegan Diet from the Perspective of Chinese-Western Fusion Cuisine: The Intersection of Innovation and Nutrition
Calcium is a key mineral for maintaining human health, especially for bone health and neuro-transmission function. However, vegans often face the problem of insufficient calcium intake due to not consuming any animal-derived foods. Calcium from traditional vegan sources is often less bio-available due to the phytic acid and oxalic acid in the food. This paper explores how fusion cuisine can provide vegans with innovative and nutritious calcium sources through literature re-view and case studies, while increasing calcium bioavailability through specific cooking techniques. In fusion cuisine, the total calcium intake can be effectively increased by carefully selecting and processing calcium-rich ingredients such as tofu, green leafy vegetables, nuts and seaweed. For example, combining tofu with calcium-rich green leafy vegetables such as spinach can not only create a nutritious fusion dish but also reduce the impact of phytic acid through acid-base ad-justment during cooking, thereby improving calcium absorption. In addition, by applying Western cooking methods such as baking and stewing to traditional Eastern ingredients, the bioavailability of calcium in these ingredients can be further increased. The case analysis of this study shows that vegans can not only increase their calcium intake in their daily diet by incorporating Chinese and Western cooking techniques and ingredient choices but also improve their quality of life through food experience. Through innovative Chinese-Western fusion cuisine, vegans can enjoy nutrition-ally balanced and delicious meals without obstacles while meeting their health and nutritional needs. In short, Chinese-Western fusion cuisine shows great potential in solving the problem of insufficient calcium intake common in vegan diets around the world. Through continued explora-tion and innovation, this cooking trend can not only improve the nutritional intake of vegans but also contribute to the diversity and sustainable development of global food culture.
