b. Primary headings are 12-point size in Times New Roman; all words are in uppercase and bold (bold); single line spacing (1.0) aligned left, and 6 pt space before and after the paragraph.

4. Body text is 12-point size in Times New Roman; paragraphs are justified; single line spacing (1.0), 6 pt before and after the paragraphs.
5. To ensure the literary and semantic integrity of the text, footnotes are used only to provide additional information and/or explanations that cannot be included in the main text.

Footnotes are 10-point in Times New Roman and justified with single line spacing (1.0), 6 pt before and after the paragraphs.
