This section must explain the steps of research in detail and clearly. The implementation method could be the developed or modified method. 
    6. Results and Discussion. This section presents the description of findings and research data supported by supporting reference studies to explain the relationship between research results and theory, research objectives, and comparisons with other published research. Data on research results can be presented in the form of tables, images, or graphs that are given descriptions.
    7. Conclusion. The conclusion contains a summary of the research results and the answers to the research objectives. The conclusion can also include recommendations/suggestions implicitly, not separately from the conclusion.
    8. Acknowledgment (12pt, Times New Roman, "Optional"); This section can be written in case there are certain parties who need to be acknowledged, such as community services sponsors. The acknowledgement must be written in brief and clear. In addition, avoid the hyperbole acknowledgment.
