In this work, is evaluated in patients with COVID-19 clinical format to identify moderate to severe stages of the disease. Following a cohort of male and female patients over 18 years of age admitted to the Infectology Service of the General Hospital of Mexico. Each patient is studied using the"COVID-19 Infectology"clinical format and in the first 24 hours of admission, a real-time RT-PCR molecular test is performed for SARS-CoV-2 infection. 65 patients classified as severe COVID-19 were studied, the RT-PCR was positive in 60 patients and negative in 5, clinical data did not differ from the positive ones and the 5 negative were considered false negative cases of the molecular test. There were no differences between positives and negatives with Fisher's test, and no difference in age, comorbidities, or prognostic evaluation with Student's t test.

Gender-Based Violence in Women's Labor Relations in Mexico

The economic crisis caused by the pandemic due to the virus that produces the disease called COVID19 has caused unemployment to affect people who had some work activity, whether in stores, offices, cab drivers, or official agencies, among others. This global situation caused health authorities to order the closure of workplaces, negatively impacting employment and working conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean, causing a setback of more than a decade in progress achieved in labor participation. Furthermore, it is assumed that inequality and discrimination against women in the economy and the labor context in this confinement stage due to the pandemic generated by the SARSCoV-2 virus have impacted gender violence against women in Mexico.

Loyalty in times of COVID-19? An analysis based on the perceived CSR and Trust in basic food basket consumption

This paper analyses the effects of perceived Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on trust;and the effects of the last one on consumer loyalty during the health contingency due to COVID-19. A variance-based structural equation model is estimated using a sample of 72 consumers. The results show that CSR actions increase trust and, in turn, this has a positive effect on loyalty. The originality of this study lies in the way loyal consumers were identified, since loyalty levels prior to the analysis were considered, so that only consumers who reported shopping in the same retailing before and during the health contingency were taken into account, which provides a better approximation of the phenomenon studied. © 2022, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
