Background: Strongyloides stercoralis was believed to have two kinds of life cycle. One of them was an internal parthenogenetic life cycle that constituted the parasitic generation. Some authors also stated that this parasitic generation of the internal life cycle used to reproduce only by protandrogony (i.e., hermaphroditism). The second type of life cycle was the external sexual cycle, interacting among free-living worms that represented the free-living generation in soil. The key objectives of this study were to: • verify the type of reproduction in the parasitic generation of S.

In the process of research, a device to determining the rheological, dilatometric, relaxation and deformation characteristics of individual polymers and polymer compositions under the conditions corresponding to operating conditions has been developed. A mechanical-chemical modification of a mixture of ethylene-propylene copolymers (SREP-5, .... = 1.7-1.8 x 105 ρ = 870 kg / m3, EPDM - 60, propylene content - 40%, antioxidant - 0.3% (m.), Mooney viscosity - 60, unsaturability - 1.7% (m.) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)).

School is a privileged space where student builds the base of education. Nowadays education is everybody’s right, something that haven’t always happened is looking at the educational trajectory over time.
