Content of review 1, reviewed on April 11, 2024
Despite the relevance of the topic recalled into the title, the paper misses to identify a clear research gap and a well defined theoretical background, discussions are completely absent. From the formal point of view, the paper is difficult to be read, with not well balanced sections (the intro counts 4 pages). Finally, I want to highlight another issue linked to the name of the file that presents R1 in its extension. This suggested me the idea that the paper was in its second round of review, but I didn't find any additional file (replies for reviewers) neither any portion of text revised to highlighted the changes.
I'm regret to suggest paper's reject. This decision is due to the several limitations that characterize the version submitted and that I think require a structural revision in terms of content and form.
