Introduction (Background). This section provides a brief overview of the existing knowledge related to the studied problem. It should establish the context and significance of the research.

Methods. Describe how the study was conducted, including the experimental design, study groups, and data analysis methods (including statistical approaches).

Results. Present your findings clearly and concisely. If applicable, indicate statistical significance. This section may include 2–3 tables or graphs to support the findings. Ensure that the results are easily comprehensible, and define any abbreviations used.

Discussion. Compare your findings with previously published data. Highlight any novel or original aspects of your research.

The text, including tables and figures (if necessary), but excluding the header and references, should not exceed 1,500–2,000 words. Do not number the pages. Do not use the abbreviations in title.

Acknowledgements (Optional).This section may include acknowledgements for personal or financial support.

Provide all names of authors when fewer than seven: when seven or more, list the first three and add et al. Only those publications to which the text refers should be given to the references.
