After publication, issues were raised about the authorship of this article by a reader stating that the article plagiarized a thesis published in Turkish. After receiving the thesis and translating it into English, the Journal compared the two texts and found they share the same results. The author re-elaborated the thesis by using the same data to create and publish a new article.

The reader also stated that the Ethics Committee approval provided by the author was fake. The journal contacted the University to investigate this issue but never received a reply.

After being informed, the corresponding author gave no plausible reply to these issues and asked to withdraw the manuscript.

Given the evidence, the Editor in Chief decided to withdraw the manuscript and blacklisted the author for any future submissions.

This manuscript has been withdrawn. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
