Psychometric propierties of the emotional self-regulation questionaire adapted for Peru (ERQP)

It were studied the psychometric properties of the Emotional Self-regulation Questionnaire (ERQ, Gross & Thompson, 2003) adapted for Peru (ERQP). This Lennia Matos Correspondencia: rafael.gargurevich@gmail.com 192 + Traducción: Melissa Casas Azañedo Rev. Psicol. 12, 192-215, 2010 questionnaire evaluates two emotional self-regulation strategies: the cognitive reappraisal and the suppression. The ERQP was applied to a sample of 320 university both sexes students from two private university. After making the linguistic adaptation of the questionnaire, it were studied the instrument construct validity. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrates the bivariate structure of the scale, and it was proved the convergent and divergent validity of the questionnaire. In index internal consistency Cronbach's Alpha both scales were 0.72 for cognitive reappraisal and 0.74 for suppression. It were discussed the importance of having an instrument which evaluates various strategies of emotional self-regulation because of the significance of this psychological phenomenon in people lives

Validity and reliability of the positive and negative affect scale (SPANAS) in universitiy peruvian students

 It was studied the construct validity and the reliability of the SPANAS scale in two samples of university students from Lima. Through many confirmatory factorial analyses (AFC) it was evaluated the adjustment of three competing models (one factor, two correlated factors and two orthogonal factors). This procedure wasreplicated in the two samples of universitary students.After the validity and reliability analysis were done, it was found that the two correlated factors model was better to represent the scale in both samples. Furthermore, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale proved to be reliable. In this way we have evidence ofthe presence oftwo factors which represent the positive and negative affection.

Distribution of prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis in Peru (1981-2010): an exploratory study

Strongyloidiasis is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of Latin America. In Peru, the impact of Strongyloides stercoralis in public health is unknown. The objective of the present study is to describe the spatial and temporal distribution of the prevalence of S. stercoralis in Peru between 1981 and 2010, and the most affected populations. A search for epidemiological  studies was performed in the database of LIPECS, LILACs, Scielo Peru, MEDLINE and Google Scholar. The studies that
reported prevalence of S. stercoralis by using any parasitological technique were included. Between 1981 and 2010, the global prevalence rate was 6.3 %. A total of 3,695 people were reported with S. stercoralis in stools during the last 30 years. From 1981 to 2001, a total of 3,013 subjects had S. stercoralis in stools that represents a global prevalence rate of 6.6 %. From 2002 to 2010,
a total of 676 subjects had S. stercoralis in stools that represents a global prevalence rate of 5.1 %. A global reduction of prevalence was noted during the last 30 years except in the Coastal region, which deserves further research. In conclusion, Stercoralis is hyperendemic in many areas of the rainforest of Peru into a lesser extent in the coast and Andean region. Future epidemiological studies should use highly sensitive diagnostic techniques for S. stercoralis larvae detection such as Modified
Baermann's Technique or Agar-plate Culture to avoid understimating parasitorsis

Evolución histórica de la Revista Peruana de Parasitología y tendencia de otras revistas de parasitología de América Latina

La Asociación de Parasitología del Perú (ASOPERA fue creada como Sociedad Peruana de Parasitología por iniciativa del Dr. Hugo Lumbreras en una sesión de almuerzo el 30 de noviembre de 1970, y el primer Consejo Directivo provisional fue presidido por el Dr. Luis Gonzales-Mugaburu, un notable parasitólogo peruano.
