Introduction
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam ut tincidunt lorem. Vivamus vehicula tincidunt ipsum, at faucibus velit ornare euismod. Aenean fermentum neque eget lacinia vehicula. In et eros fringilla, euismod lorem eu, tempor lectus. Fusce consequat, tortor porta lacinia consectetur, purus lacus maximus massa, in tristique sem enim cursus tortor. Pellentesque mollis orci ac libero convallis mollis. Nulla in elementum enim, sit amet rhoncus turpis. Nam et metus ac augue viverra consequat.
Maecenas tristique tellus at blandit efficitur. Fusce molestie iaculis turpis eu egestas. Aenean et magna dapibus, finibus risus ut, ultricies massa. Nunc vel facilisis velit, vel maximus dui. Donec consequat lacus tellus, nec auctor ex imperdiet in. Nam lectus tortor, aliquam eu eros in, euismod faucibus nulla. Pellentesque vel vestibulum urna. Etiam sodales, turpis ac aliquam imperdiet, ligula est pretium justo, at aliquet neque arcu vitae erat. Fusce ultricies lacus vitae mollis tempor. Suspendisse porta consequat semper. Aenean vel dignissim odio. Phasellus accumsan, quam vel faucibus fermentum, erat dui porta orci, eget sodales massa ante ac ipsum. Etiam ac dictum massa.

2.	Discussion
Nam eget condimentum sapien, eu eleifend est. Mauris interdum a metus eget scelerisque. Phasellus fringilla sapien id ante cursus, eget posuere orci posuere. Cras at nulla nec orci vulputate facilisis. Proin pellentesque semper pulvinar. Proin fermentum semper massa, eu hendrerit dui vestibulum vel.
2.1.	Tables
The use of tables within the text should be in a separate line. Each table should be numbered in the caption and referenced with a proper link (Table 1). The table text should be set to 10 points font size, with the headings in bold.
Table 1: Table captions should always be positioned above the table and set to 10 points font size, centered and inset 2,0 cm from the right and left margins

<1200	50	0.65	
2.2.	Figures
Figures must be numbered, and their caption should be placed below the image, set to a font size of 10 points, and referenced with a proper link (Figure 1). Authors are responsible for the quality of the figures inserted, but we strongly advise to use images that have quality enough for printing purposes (at least 300 dpi). Please avoid the use of shading and be reasonable with the size of text and width of lines; the figure must be clearly legible, thus, contrast should be as pronounced as possible.

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources. As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table or extract from the text of another source.
2.3.	Formulas
The use of formulas within the text should be in a separate line and centered, referenced with proper link (Formula 1). Displayed expressions must be numbered in the caption, which should be set in the same line as the formula, enclosed in parentheses and right margined.

2.3.1.	Citations
When citing authors, the author-date system should be used, which means including in the text and between curved brackets the authors' last name and the date – example (Smith 2005). The complete reference must be listed at the end of the document using the Chicago Manual of Style. Instructions and examples of references can be found at http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org. Authors can use tools like EndNote or Mendeley to support this process.
3.	Conclusions
Nam eget condimentum sapien, eu eleifend est. Mauris interdum a metus eget scelerisque. Phasellus fringilla sapien id ante cursus, eget posuere orci posuere. Cras at nulla nec orci vulputate facilisis. Proin pellentesque semper pulvinar. Proin fermentum semper massa, eu hendrerit dui vestibulum vel. Vestibulum nulla urna, pulvinar eu sem non, finibus euismod massa. Ut nisi urna, rutrum quis fermentum et, porttitor a velit. Curabitur sit amet sem sed arcu vestibulum tincidunt nec id mauris. Nam porttitor ante est, et euismod turpis egestas ut. Suspendisse vitae lectus elit.
