	\section{Introduction }
	The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should be carefully reviewed and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the principal conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research. References should be numbered in order of appearance and indicated by a numeral or numerals in square brackets—e.g., \cite{ref-journal} or \cite{ref-book,ref-inbook}, \mbox{or \cite{ref-unpublished1,ref-unpublished2,ref-proceedings}}. See the end of the document for further details on references \cite{ref-phdthesis,ref-www,ref-patent,ref-standard,ref-software,ref-pre-print}.
	
	\section{Materials and Methods }
	
	The Materials and Methods should be described with sufficient details to allow others to replicate and build on the published results. Please note that the publication of your manuscript implicates that you must make all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated with the publication available to readers. Please disclose at the submission stage any restrictions on the availability of materials or information. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.
	
	Research manuscripts reporting large datasets that are deposited in a publicly available database should specify where the data have been and provide the relevant accession numbers. If the accession numbers have not yet been obtained at the time of submission, please state that they will be provided during review. They must be provided prior to publication.
	
	\subsection*{Ethics Approval Statement (if Relevant)}
Our policy is to ensure that all articles published by journal report on work that is morally acceptable and expects authors to follow the World Medical  Association’s  	{Declaration of Helsinki. To achieve this, we aim to appraise the ethical aspects of any submitted work that involves human participants, whatever descriptive label is given to that work including research, audit, and sometimes debate. If your \mbox{study involves} human }  subjects  and/or    animals, and also if your manuscript includes case reports/case series,  you need to provide the following:

	Authors must provide the name of the ethical approval committee/Institutional Review Board they have obtained the consent form along with the approval number/ID.
	
\restoregeometry 
	Authors should specifically mention if a waiver was obtained for the study and the reason for the waiver. They should confirm that the study was conducted in accordance with Helsinki Declaration as revised in 2013. 


	
	Authors must state that written informed consent was obtained from the participants of the study (and the relevant document(s) must be provided when requested by the journal). If verbal informed consent was obtained, the reason(s) for the absence of written consent must be provided.
	
	In addition, we welcome detailed explanations of how investigators and authors have considered and justified the ethical and moral basis of their work. If such detail does not easily fit into the manuscript, please provide it in the covering letter or upload it as a supplemental file when submitting the article. We will also be pleased to see copies of explanatory information given to participants. Even if we do not include such detailed information in a final published version, we may make it available to peer reviewers and editorial committees. We have already asked peer reviewers to consider and comment on the ethics of the submitted work.
	
	\section{Results }
	
	This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation, as well as the experimental conclusions that can be drawn.
	
	\subsection{Figures, Tables and Equations}
	
	\subsubsection{Figures}
	
	All figures should be cited in the main text in numerical order as Figure 1. The figure is suggested to be placed below the first paragraph where the figure is mentioned for the first time.

		\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{logo.jpg}
		\caption{This is a figure. Schemes follow the same formatting.}
	\end{figure}
\vspace{-24pt}	

	\subsubsection{Tables}
	
	All tables should be cited in the main text in numerical order as Table 1. The table is suggested to be placed below the first paragraph where the table is mentioned for the first time.
	
	\begin{table}[H]
		\caption{This is a table caption.}
		\centering
		%% \tablesize{} %% You can specify the fontsize here, e.g.  \tablesize{\footnotesize}. If commented out \small will be used.
\newcolumntype{c}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}

			\midrule
			entry 1		& data			& data\\
			entry 2		& data			& data\\
			\bottomrule
		\end{tabularx}
	\end{table}
	
	\subsubsection{Equations}
	
	The equations should be inserted in editable format. This is example 1 of an equation:
	
	\begin{equation}
		a=1
	\end{equation}
	
	\section{Discussion}
	
	All research results should be deeply discussed in this section. The discussion section reviews the research findings within the broader context of the study, integrating preceding sections to illustrate connections throughout the paper. Through interpretation, analysis, and explanation, authors elucidate the significance of their results, situating them within existing literature and acknowledging any study limitations.
	
	\subsection*{Copyright and Permission to Reproduce Material (if Relevant)}
	
	If your article makes use of any previously published material (including figures/diagrams, or short extracts, or content taken from websites) then you must first obtain the written permission of the copyright owner. The copyright owner is usually the publisher (for material taken from journal or proceedings articles), website owner/company (for material taken from websites) or the author or their employer (if the work is unpublished). Some publishers will also require that you seek the permission of the original author (you will need to check the terms of the publisher’s permission.
	
	We ask you to submit written evidence:
	
	That all necessary permissions have been obtained by providing the actual written permission granted by the copyright owner. or 
	
	That permission is not required, e.g. where the material is available under one of the Creative Commons licenses which allow commercial reuse and suits the purpose for which you want to reuse the content.
	
	\section{Conclusions}
	
	The important conclusions should be summarized in this section. Normally, you should use one paragraph to do this. The conclusions should be in accordance with the research results and discussions.
