The abstract should be written in English. The complete text (with one table or one figure
optional, and the references if any) must not exceed one page. The word processor should be adjusted
for A4 paper, portrait orientation, with 2.5 cm margins all round, justified alignment. Arrangement of
the heading must be identical with this specimen: title in CAPITAL bold letters Times New Roman,
14 pt, and the name of the authors, and their affiliation (capitalize only the first letter of each word) in
Times New Roman 11 pt. Use a void line between the title and the authors´ names and one void line
between the authors´ names and their affiliation. Then, use two void lines after the heading and type
the body of the abstract. The underlined name corresponds to the person responsible for presentation
