“…In this study, we are particularly interested in the income variations due to unemployment and the configuration of health systems that may be more convenient based on previous experiences (Ceylan et al 2020). For this reason, González (2021), who studies the diseases of the black plague and Spanish fever, highlights the need to review the current health crisis via the lens of historical epidemiology to learn about the implications of COVID-19 and through them to take "collective, reflective and transformative" actions. Nevertheless, the need to study pandemics from a historical point of view became evident until the 60s, as before that year was not considered of interest.…”

“…Despite the fact that in the twentieth century, science had developed greatly, and as a consequence, humanity already knew about viruses and bacteria, there were important pandemics. The pandemic of the Spanish flu, less than 100 years ago, was the event that produced the greatest economic shock in the world, behind World War II, World War I, and the great depression, greatly contributing to the reform of health systems (González 2021). Ceylan et al (2020) also analyze the case of Spanish fever, with more than a quarter of a million deaths, which is three times more than the deaths provoked by COVID-19 in Mexico now.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply influenced the economy of all nations, and Mexico is no exception. This effect is distinct for different groups of the population, with variable socio-economic and demographic characteristics, that live in regions of contrasting features. An efficient apparatus for measuring expenditure variations and tendency is the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey performed by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography in accordance with the international standardization established at the Canberra Conference; the latter permits, every two years, for different surveys to be comparable in time and space. Hence, in Mexico, there are three surveys for 2018, 2020, and 2022. The results of the comparison indicate that different groups of the Mexican population have experienced the pandemic with multiple impacts, apparently without large proportional variation regarding expenditure but with greater variation in time-use conditions. Moreover, it became apparent that even though the lower strata of Mexico’s population have fewer proportional variations concerning income after the COVID-19 outburst, they must incorporate more family members into working activities to achieve a survival line; the latter results in the abandonment of school from various young household members that will negatively impact the quality of their lives in the long term.

Throughout history, dozens of epidemics have appeared cyclically, often causing devastating effects. Some of them, such as plague, cholera, and tuberculosis, have led to significant social, economic, and political consequences, with evident repercussions on cities and architecture. In this regard, urban planning has played an essential role in improving life expectancy and limiting the spread of epidemics. This work aims to study the influence of prevalent pandemics on architecture and urbanism over the centuries to comprehend their response and adaption to new health and social requirements. Through a process of investigation and in-depth examination of the literature review, it has been possible to understand the impact of pandemics in cities. The appearance of the first preventive measures during the plague period, the urban interventions to combat the cholera outbreak, and the neat architectural features adopted following the appearance of tuberculosis are witnesses to this process. Professionals and academics are reflecting on the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, which will affect the practice of architecture and urban design. Thanks to the results obtained, it will be possible to reflect on the impact of the pandemic on contemporary cities, understand their potential resilience and hypothesise future strategies.

Objective: to determine the prevalence of self-perceived musculoskeletal pain and its association with gender in teleworkers of the management team of a Venezuelan food manufacturing company. Methods: a quantitative, field, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 243 workers and a sample of 182 workers. The survey was used as a data collection technique, and the questionnaire was developed using Google Forms® as an instrument. Results: the age range was between 20 and 73 years, with a mean of 45,8±9,1 years. Women (43,0 %) had more than 10 years of seniority, a lower percentage than that observed among men (50,0 %). Regarding self-perceived pain, (92,59 %) of women reported more pain than men (81,68 %); the probability of presenting neck pain in this group was (85,8 %). In contrast to men (38,93 %), 69,14 % of the women self-perceived right shoulder pain; the probability of presenting right shoulder pain in the sample studied was 50 %. Concerning upper back pain (48,15 %) of the women and 33,59 % of the men, the probability of presenting upper back pain was 39,2 %. The mean total musculoskeletal pain or discomfort score was 59,13 for women and 39,94 for men. Conclusion: there was a statistically significant association between self-perceived pain in certain areas of the body and female gender for exposure to disergonomic risk factors.
