Abstract (font size 11, font Times New Roman, bold, left-aligned, no numbered)

The Abstract is a self-contained synopsis of the report - an informative summary of what you did and

what you found out. A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose

of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from

the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided.

Keywords: Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords.
