\chapter{\uppercase{Introduction}}
\label{s:Introduction}
\textbf{Note:} The text snippets contained in the following are excerpts of the successfully defended thesis of Abdulrahman Takkidin~\cite{Takkidin:2020:AI}. In the \LaTeX~ sources you will see how to cite literature properly, how to include figures, and how to add tables to your thesis.\\
Skin cancer is the most common cancer type that affects humans~\cite{LINARES2015645}. Melanoma and non-melanoma are the two main types of skin cancer~\cite{Liu-Smith2017}. A lot of diseases are associated with these two types. The non-melanoma types are usually cured by surgery and are non-lethal, so they are of a lesser concern. However, melanoma is the most dangerous and deadliest skin cancer type, although it represents only 2\% of the skin cancer cases~\cite{LINARES2015645,Liu-Smith2017} $\ldots$.
\section{Motivation}
\label{s:Motivation}
$\ldots$ For example, if we look at Figure \ref{Fig: NormalVsMel}, the two images are almost identical. However, the left-hand side lesion is a normal mole, and the lesion on the right is melanoma. $\ldots$
\begin{figure}[h]

\caption{The similarity of a normal mole and melanoma}
\label{Fig: NormalVsMel}
\end{figure}

\chapter{\uppercase{Chapter Title}}
\label{s:ChapterLabel}
This is how you do enumerations.
\begin{enumerate}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\item item 3
\end{enumerate}
A more complex example is shown in Table~\ref{tab:studycharacteristics}.
\begin{table}[]
\caption{Study Characteristics}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
\textbf{Ref} & \textbf{Images} & \textbf{Class} & \textbf{Type} & \textbf{Environment} \\ \hline
[A] & 40 & benign or malignant & High quality & Development Phase \\ \hline
[B] & 45 & benign or malignant & Dermoscopy & \textbf{Desktop Application} \\ \hline
[C] & 80 & benign or malignant & High quality & Development Phase \\ \hline
[D] & 100 & benign or malignant & Dermoscopy & Development Phase \\ \hline
[E] & 170 & benign or malignant & Clinical & Development Phase \\ \hline
[F] & 187 & benign or malignant & Spectroscopic & \textbf{Healthcare system} \\ \hline
[G] & 200 & benign or malignant & Dermoscopy & Development Phase \\ \hline
[H] & 200 & benign or malignant & Dermoscopy & Development Phase \\ \hline
[I] & 240 & benign or malignant & Dermoscopy & Development Phase \\ \hline
[J] & 256 & benign or malignant & Dermoscopy & Development Phase \\ \hline
[K] & 294 & benign or malignant & Macro & Development Phase \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:studycharacteristics}
\end{table}
\clearpage
\chapter{\uppercase{Results}}
At the end, you should discuss your findings and interpret them.
You can reference labeled items as well (refer to Section,~\ref{s:ChapterLabel})
\chapter{\uppercase{Limitations \& Future Work}}
Most theses end with a Limitations \& Future Work, in which you provide avenues for research that you think are important
\clearpage
\chapter{\uppercase{Conclusion}}
\label{s:Conclusion}
Finally, you wrap up the thesis, summarizing key insights
