ABSTRACT should not exceed 250 words and should clearly summarize the paper’s major issues, methodology, main results, major discussion points and recommendations. KEYWORDS should include a maximum of five keywords. GRAPHS, PHOTOGRAPHS and DIAGRAMS should be referred to as “Fig.” in the text and consecutively numbered.

Soft-copy of the original photographs should be provided in PNG or JPEG or BMP format. TABLES should be numbered consecutively and have self-explanatory titles. All tables must be provided in editable format rather than as image files. Providing the same information in diagrams and tables should be avoided.
