4b. Tables
Tables are used to present statements, as well as those containing figures and symbols. There must be a reference to the table in the main text of the work. Tables should be placed as close to the reference as possible and numbered consecutively in a given chapter. Tables are numbered with Arabic numerals and should contain a reference to the main chapter and the order of the tables in the chapter. The title of the table, preceded by the inscription "Table" and a consecutive number, should be placed above the table by 9 point font and left-justified with a space of min. 10 pt.
Avoiding abbreviations in column headings is advisable. Units should be placed on the line immediately below the column headings. If the table contains information from literature sources, the source should be cited in brackets, directly below the table, and justified to the right (font-size: 9 pt, italics). If there is a need to move the table to the next page, their numbers with Arabic numerals are placed above the column headings and these numbers are transferred to the next page. Tables are placed in the center of the text, while the text in tables should be:
for column headings - bold and centered,
in the case of left-hand labels - aligned to the left edge of the column,
for numeric fields - aligned to the right edge of the column,
for other fields, centered.
It is recommended to frame the table and the header row with a plum-colored line with a thickness of 1 pt and the grid inside the table with a black line with a 1 pt. The numbers of the columns (in the case of moving the table between pages) are made in plum color and separated from the column titles with an invisible line.
It is recommended to number the tables in the format (chapter number} - {table number within the chapter}. However, it is also allowed to number tables continuously throughout the work.

4c. Figures
Graphic objects (drawings, photos, and charts) should be placed directly in the text centered. There must be a reference to the illustrations in the main text of the work.
Objects should have a light background (charts - white) and a resolution of 300 dpi (e.g., for a drawing with a page width of 16 cm, the required horizontal resolution is 1920 pixels). If the element of the object is a string, its size should be at least 9 pt font size. These objects are numbered with Arabic numerals and should contain a reference to the main chapter and the order of the drawing in the chapter. The title of the object preceded by an abbreviation Fig. (Also for photos and charts) should be placed under the figure (graph) in 9 point font, justified to the left. After the title of the graphic object, a space of at least 10 pt should be applied. If the object comes from literature sources (also from the Internet!), The source should be quoted directly below the drawing and justified to the right (font 9 pt, Italic). If the figure's signature does not contain the source of origin, it means that the author made it himself.
It is recommended to number the drawings in the format (chapter number} - {figure number within the chapter}. However, it is also allowed to number the drawings continuously throughout the work.

4d. Mathematical formulas
When using the formulas in general form, you should avoid rewriting the pinouts and provide the initial and final form with appropriate explanations and numbers (possible findings or proofs can be included in the appendices), e.g .:
� 𝐸𝐸�⃗𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑙⃗
𝐿𝐿
= − 𝑑𝑑Φ
𝐵𝐵𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
(5-1)where:
ΦB
– magnetic field flux,
E – electric field,L– any closed contour.
31 Math formulas should be placed in the first column of a two-column table with no visible borders, centered and numbered incrementally. Mathematical formula numbers in parentheses should be aligned to the right margin of the second column and should contain a reference to the main chapter and the order of the formula in the chapter separated by a period; for example (3.15) - fifteenth formula in the third chapter. However, the continuous numbering of formulas throughout the work is also allowed.
When applying number formulas, the measurement units used should be taken into account, e.g .:
1963 . 4 0
5 . 0 14 .
3 ⋅
2=
F
= [m
2]
(5-2)It should be ensured that both before and after the formula there is a space of min, 10 pt.
