Results and Discussion: Here are the results obtained during the investigation. These results are presented in the form of text, tables (tables) or figures and should not duplicate the information presented. Also results that can be easily calculated have to be presented. The most important principles and cause-effect relationships derived from the analysis of the results will be highlighted. In addition, it should be explained based on the observations made, the reason for the observed, without speculating. The results obtained will be compared with those of other researchers and divergences and similarities will be pointed out.

Conclusions: The first conclusions that are presented must be those corresponding to the objectives.
