The paper discusses the stretching of social relations across temporal and spatial borders, as well as the compression of time and space in the Covid-19 pandemic. It uses the theoretical arguments of David Harvey, Anthony Giddens and Doreen Massey in understanding concepts of time, space, and the power dynamics fueling social relations. The pandemic and the new norms of social isolation have only led to the development of remote work, and using telecommuter services to continue work as usual. This paper explores these new modes of services which allow individuals to work, study, visit museums, theater, and distant locations from home. However, the global trend of online work is deeply rooted in exclusionary practices, as large groups of people are left behind in this practice. The paper looks at these exclusions, and also aims to focus on the aspect of digital divide in India, and the inclusivity of online classes.

Background: Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with multiple comorbidities and significant effect in quality of life. Multiple comorbidities including disorders of lipid and lipoprotein, oxidative stress as well as metabolic syndrome has been found to be associated with psoriasis. There are several researches on lipid profile and psoriasis but the result is not consistent. Objective: To determine the lipid profile in patients with psoriasis and to compare it with healthy controls and to determine relation between lipid abnormalities and duration of disease & severity of psoriasis (graded by Psoriasis Area Severity Index, PASI). Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 71 cases and 71 control from 1st Oct 2019 to 31st Sep 2020 in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Koshi Hospital, biratnagar, Nepal to compare the lipid profile among patients with psoriasis and healthy controls. Result: Serum Total Cholesterol and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol was significantly higher in patient with psoriasis as compared to control (165.65± 36.18 vs 147.90±32.84, p<0.001). A significant correlation was observed between severity of disease measured by PASI and TC (r=0.274, p=0.021) and LDL-Cholesterol (r=0.248, p=0.037). Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis have significantly high lipid abnormalities in terms of increased total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Dyslipidemias found in them paralleled with disease severity and durations. Early screening and treatment of hyperlipidemia in patients with psoriasis is advised to prevent atherosclerosis and its complications in them.
