  • Other Comments:

    The submission of the presumed review article lacks significant scholarship. The diction, grammar, and language are not appropriate. There are 55 references listed but only references 30-55 are actually referred to in the manuscript. Furthermore, the abstract and the introduction are identical without any substantial explanation about the goals and reason for this article. The conclusions are insufficient and do not summarize the previous statemens. Did the authors intend to actually provide original research? If so, there is no indication in this manuscript for it - no method section, no results section.
