The covid 19 pandemic demonstrated that public policies related to intellectual property and competition law were not adequate or sufficiently articulated to allow timely access to vaccines in an equitable manner, due to distortions in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of covid-19 vaccines when they were available during the pandemic. This research aims to analyze, from a legal perspective, whether the observed problems originate in an inadequate application of intellectual property legislation and its relationship with other public policies related to competition, or, eventually, in the abusive exercise of such rights, which, as a consequence, would distort the process of competition in national and regional markets.

Introduction: The experience of using therapeutic plasmapheresis in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases allowed us to propose and indicate this therapy in combination with Cuban biotechnological drugs in patients with COVID-19; a disease characterized by the uncontrolled release of cytokines that activate the proinflammatory response, acute respiratory failure syndrome, thrombotic events and multiorgan failure. Objective: To describe the results of the use of therapeutic plasmapheresis combined with Cuban biotechnological drugs in patients with worsening of COVID-19 disease. Methodology: The research was carried out during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic at the "Manuel Fajardo Rivero" Army Military Hospital in Villa Clara, during the months of March and April 2021. Case study involving 16 patients over 18 years of age with positive PCR-RT for SARS-CoV-2, with deterioration in their clinical and laboratory condition who underwent plasmapheresis treatment and Cuban biotechnological drugs: Itolizumab, Jusvinza, HeberFERON® e Intacglobin®. Results: 75% of the patients were classified as potentially serious. Half of the patients received Itolizumab and at least one therapeutic plasmapheresis session. The response was favorable, 100% had negative PCRRT, and D-dimer normalized more quickly, followed by C - reactive protein. Fewer plasmapheresis sessions were needed to achieve recovery. Conclusions: Therapeutic plasmapheresis in patients with COVID-19 was a complementary and promising treatment; combined with biopharmaceuticals, innovative and necessary to reduce the inflammatory and viral load and achieve the recovery of the patient with clinical worsening of his condition.

The solidarity initiatives that proliferated in urban neighborhoods during the lockdown period decreed at the onset of the coronavirus crisis have generated significant interest within the field of sociology. The facilitating causes that propelled these social processes, as well as those that hindered or thwarted their development, remain subjects of debate. This contribution presents a qualitative analysis of local mutual support initiatives that emerged during that period in three Madrid neighborhoods with differing average incomes, urban profiles, and resident populations: Orcasur, Prosperidad, and Malasaña. The analysis of 32 semi-structured interviews (18 individual and 14 group) conducted two years after the lockdown with residents and key informants in the three mentioned neighborhoods highlights the prominent role of neighborhood associations, informal groups, and volunteers in driving cooperative practices aimed at ensuring the supply of essential goods and the provision of essential services. Similarly, it is important to note the significance of various spontaneous mutual support initiatives led by neighbors in certain proxemic contexts (buildings, streets), as well as the relevance of local shops' actions in the three studied contexts.

Introduction: The COVID-19 altered the employment situation and the educational teaching process of medical universities. In addition, there was a very negative impact on all economic and social areas of the country. In the health sector, services and human resources were reorganized, the production of basic medicines was affected, pressures on the public health and social welfare system increased with corresponding rise in public health costs and expenditures. Objective: To describe the social, economic and academic effects of COVID-19 in the Medical Faculty No. 1 of the Medical Science University in Santiago de Cuba. Methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective study was conducted during the reoutbreaks of COVID-19 in the period from January to July 2021 in available workers and students from the first to the fifth year of the faculty. General and socio-economic characteristics were evaluated for each group, such as medical certificates and causes, affected days, research results and training activity. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis and presentation of results. Results: The incidence of positive cases was low, but generated thousands of days of disability due to isolation and home intake. More than 5 000 people suspected pf the disease were surveyed, 19.9 % of them positive. The promotion exceeded 95 % in all years of the major and was higher than the pre-epidemic stage, as well as the vertical efficiency. Conclusions: Although there were negative social, economic and academic effects, the integral community work contributed to the preservation of the population's health and online classes were developed.

The 2030 Agenda, with its seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), constitutes a universal and ambitious plan that maintains the central objective of eradicating poverty by addressing various areas of sustainable development. However, since 2020, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have posed a challenge to the achievement of the agreed-upon goals. In fact, since its inception, the impact of Covid-19 has led to setbacks in the progress towards achieving the SDGs, with a notable regression in 2021. This article utilizes data from the Sustainable Development Goals Index report to analyze the compliance status of SDG 8 and SDG 13 in the four Latin American countries that are members of the OECD. Mixed results are evident, compromising the attainment of the agreed-upon targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To analyze stakeholders’ perceptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on citizen participation in Spain and identify the factors influencing the assessment of its severity. This analysis is based on information from two research projects on local citizen participation, modified after the WHO declared the pandemic to include this new context. Methodology: Mixed research methods were used. Quantitative data was collected through web surveys directed at those responsible for citizen participation in municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants in Andalusia and Madrid, as well as members of Andalusian advisory councils. Qualitative information was obtained through semi-structured interviews with key informants from the selected case studies. Results: The pandemic interrupted or shifted initiatives to an online format. The perceived severity of the impact is more pronounced in municipalities with greater resources for participation and those governed by left-wing parties. The study identifies significant obstacles to citizen participation due to the pandemic, with variations depending on local governance and resource availability. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of considering political and resource factors when assessing the resilience of participatory initiatives during crises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital Education is a key factor to bring developing countries up to speed so they are able to compete under the new rules of the Digital Economy. The Covid-19 pandemic crisis has made more evident the need to implement a global educational strategy where all children can be prepared to learn in a digital environment independently of their country and birth condition. In this research, a Digital Education Index for Developing Countries (DEIFDC) has been defined and applied for the Peruvian case. The construction of the index is based on relevant variables organized in three levers to determine Peru's capacity to better prepare current primary school children to acquire the competences needed in a 21st century workforce. The results show good development on pedagogical capabilities and students' readiness but only adequate maturity on the development of schools' infrastructure. Peru's slow digital development, in comparison to other countries in the region, is distressing the availability of high-skilled labour, digital GDP growth and digital services productivity hence major efforts will need to be undertaken to guarantee Peruvians upgrade to a digital prepared society.

This article analyzes the communication strategies adopted by two working groups based in American Catholic parishes to protect their parishioners during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through an ethnographic study, it shows how these religious leaders developed mitigation and suppression measures against the virus. The research highlights the important role that religious actors can play in health education during an outbreak of a highly contagious infection like COVID-19. The response of two Catholic parishes, San A and San MG, to the COVID-19 pandemic is described. Both parishes created working groups following diocesan guidelines and received specific training. Mitigation and suppression measures were implemented, such as church closures, social distancing, mask-wearing, and hand and space sanitization. Communication was based on science and carried out through regular meetings and coordination between two communication departments. Messages were adapted for different groups and reviewed to ensure clarity and understanding. Social marketing tools such as social media, emails, online newsletters, and phone calls were used to reach parishioners and promote mitigation measures. Phone calls were particularly effective, but online streaming of masses was not successful for older parishioners. According to the article, the message about contact tracing did not work well in the parishes of San MG and San A. The parishes reported few cases and did not have the means to conduct contact tracing. Additionally, there was resistance to mitigation and suppression measures due to the politicization of the pandemic. Trust in parish communication was an important factor, but there were concerns about the lack of audience segmentation and the rigidity of top-down guidelines. The article analyzes the faith-based response to the COVID-19 pandemic in two parishes. It points out that some members of the working groups should have been public health officials or medical personnel to effectively convey information and health education. The resistance of parishioners and the politicization of the pandemic in the United States are highlighted as obstacles to communication. It is recommended that churches be prepared for future pandemics and have healthcare and communication professionals on their teams. It is also suggested that the Catholic Church adopt a social justice approach in its healthcare assistance. [Extracted from the article]

The effectiveness of the policies implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic is relevant both for assessing the impact caused and for deriving policy lessons in case such phenomena recur. The main objective here is to determine the relationship between human activity and reported COVID-19 cases. To measure human activity, a metric of nighttime lights is generated using satellite images. Conducting cointegration tests we found a long-term equilibrium relationship between the two variables, and through causality tests we confirmed that it is feasible to predict COVID-19 infections from changes in nighttime lights. Using econometric models for time series, it is shown that COVID-19 infections respond to changes in nighttime lights with high statistical significance and with a lag of up to two weeks, implying that the intensity of human activity that was happening now would have been useful for planning the resources that would be necessary two weeks later.
