Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The article is a report on the research process with a detailed description of the results. The discussion compares the results with other results obtained in similar studies, also justifying the methodological shortcomings of the conducted study. Against this background, the last part of the article, that is, the conclusion, clearly stands out. It is perfunctory, it does not summarize the presented results or conclusions from the discussion. These two elements need to be completed.
