Title and Author Information
Title: Type the title in uppercase, bold, centered, in 14-point Calibri.
Author names: List all authors as Name Surname, using superscript numbers to link each author to their affiliation. Mark the corresponding author with an asterisk (*). Use bold, centered, 12-point Calibri.

Abstract
The abstract should not exceed 300 words and must be written as a single continuous paragraph (Calibri 11 pt, single spacing, justified). Do not divide it into subheadings such as Background, Methods, Results, or Conclusions. It should still briefly cover the objectives, methods, main results, and conclusions of the study and clearly reflect its scientific contribution. Avoid references, undefined abbreviations, and citations of tables or figures.
Keywords
Provide up to six keywords or phrases, listed in order of importance and separated by commas (Calibri 11 pt, single spacing, justified).
Manuscript Structure
Organize the main text into the following numbered sections, using Calibri 11 pt, single line spacing, justified on both sides. Number subsections accordingly (e.g., 2.1, 2.2).
1. Introduction: Present the background and rationale of the study, clearly state the research problem and objectives and highlight the relevance of the work within the broader scientific or clinical context.
2. Materials and Methods: Describe the study design, data sources, sampling approach, and analytical methods, including the tools, instruments, and statistical techniques used.
3. Results: Present the main findings in a structured way, including key numerical results, trends, or comparisons. Include tables and figures where necessary.
4. Discussion: Interpret the main findings and relate them to existing literature. Discuss implications for policy, practice, or research, and address the strengths and limitations of the study.
5. Conclusions: Summarize the key takeaways, emphasizing the contribution to the field and potential future directions.
Tables and Figures
- Number tables and figures consecutively and cite them in the text.
- Give each table a short, descriptive title and state the units of measurement.
- Write table titles and figure captions in sentence case, in Calibri 9 pt, leaving 1 cm from each page margin. Use bold only when necessary.
- Use Calibri 9 pt for text inside tables. Do not use pre-formatted table styles.
- Mark table footnotes with superscript letters (a, b, c) and place them directly below the table. Use Calibri 8 pt for figure footnotes, if present.
- Keep figure legends concise but explanatory. Label all figures as 'Figure' not as Fig., Scheme, Illustration, or Graphics.
- Submit figures in high resolution (minimum 300 dpi) in TIFF, JPEG, or PNG format.
- Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any copyrighted material.
