Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the right to data and attribution of materials used in the article from an unpublished Master’s thesis by a different author [1]. Adhering to the complaint procedure of the publisher, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editors-in-Chief of the journal, as well as an extensive post-publication evaluation.

The Editorial Board established that while novel findings were presented in the article, appropriate permission to re-publish a significant amount of the data and resources presented in the Master’s thesis was not granted and could not be secured during the post-publication investigation. Given the lack of this permission and the impact that the removal of this content would have on the overall findings of this study, the Editorial Board, Editors-in-Chief and the author came to the mutual agreement to retract this article.
