The Editor in Chief has retracted this article because an investigation by the publisher found evidence of attempts to subvert the peer review process. The article does not provide sufficient information regarding ethics approval or process of collecting consent to participate. The authors did not provide evidence of ethics approval or details of the consent to participate. Additionally, there appears to be a substantial overlap with a previously-published article by three of the authors (Zhumalina et al. 2019). The authors did not respond to any communication from the Editor about this retraction.
