The “method of the first entry and date” is used for citation (e.g. Smith et al., 2005; Smith and Novak, 2006). If needed the Introduction can be followed by other chapters numbered 2, 3,... Write chapter titles bold.

3 RESULTS
In this part are mentioned only concrete results of work and in text are mentioned also the most important numerical values and data (may be in tables). It is

4 DISCUSSION
It is necessary to assess results from various aspects mainly with respect to factors that could influence them, and to confront them with results of other authors in such a way as to show what is new in the obtained results and what differs them from results of other authors or hither-to knowledge or in which part they correspond to each other. Bibliographical reference of authors should be in the same form as in the introductory part. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION may comprise of a one chapter.
