Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors. The article is interesting, but very difficult to write. I was only able to read it because I needed to write a review. I repeat, the article is interesting and necessary, but your information is unlikely to be in demand, since the abundance of specific terms makes it impossible to study.

I earnestly ask you to add a few sentences, written without special terms, in the conclusion and in the summary. This will make your work interesting for everyone.

The first two sentences in the conclusion section are trivial, they are the most common words. If you take them away, the meaning of your work will not change.
