Abstract
Aromatherapy uses essential oils as the main therapeutic agents. In the present work a brief review was made on the aromatherapy used in mental health. It describes evidence for and against the use of aromatherapy in stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, cognitive disorders and other disorders; as well as data related to its safety, adverse effects, contraindications and mechanisms of action. In conclusion, aromatherapy can be considered as an option that can be used as a complement to treatments aimed to restore mental health and associated disorders.

Abstract
Introduction: In the approach of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, the therapeutic abandonment constitutes a serious problem of public health, affecting the quality of life of patients, families and community. Addressing it poses a burden on health systems, because it causes free sources of transmission in the community, and increases in prevalence and mortality. Hence the need to investigate those factors associated with this situation. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with treatment default in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the Callao-Peru region. Materials and methods: Analytical case-control study (cases = 80 and controls = 180) that started treatment from January 01, 2010 to December 31, 2012. The factors were identified by logistic regression, calculating the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals. Results: Finding risk factors in the multivariate analysis: Not having knowledge of the disease, OR aj = 23.10 [95% CI, 3.6-36.79; (p .002)], Do not believe in healing, OR aj = 117.34 [95% CI 13.57-124.6; (p .000)]; Not having social support, OR aj = 19.16 [95% CI 1.32-27.77; (p .030)]; Do not consider adequate working hours, OR aj = 78.13 [IC95% 4.84-125.97; (p .002)]; Do not receive laboratory reports, OR aj = 46.13 [95% CI 2.85-74.77; (p .007)] Conclusions: Health services should direct efforts for the early identification of conditions that could become risk factors, which would help preventively implement effective, rapid and high-impact interventions. © 2019 Instituto Nacional de Salud.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of the fluid extract of Passiflora ligularis in the levels of test anxiety of university students. An experimental, pre-test and post-test study was carried out, with a sample of 36 students, divided into a control group and an experimental group. Test anxiety levels were assessed using the CAEX questionnaire. The results evidence that test anxiety levels decreased after phytotherapy treatment, with statistically significant results (p <0.05), and with a Cohen D score of 0.28 and a 4.03% change rate.

Abstract
The purpose of the article was to develop a methodology for evaluating performance of e-mail servers and to compare the performance of e-mail servers based on free software (freeware and open source software) with the performance of payment licensed e-mail servers, with an integrated focus. For obtaining this purpose, a descriptive and experimental study was developed, which population included 33 e-mail servers. Two e-mail servers with free license (Sendmail and Postfix) and two e-mail servers with payment license (Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino) were compared. For evaluating the performance (antispam capacity, antivirus filtering, and server resource consumption), special applications for that purpose were used. Finally, it was determined that the two products of e-mail servers implemented with free software (Sendmail and Postfix) had higher performance than the two licensed e-mail servers (Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino) which were implemented, under the conditions given in this research.
