Dear Editor,

Thank you very much for the opportunity to revise our manuscript and for the valuable comments provided by the reviewers.

In order to address all reviewer comments thoroughly and to improve the clarity and methodological transparency of the manuscript, we have made the requested additions and revisions. As a result, the total word count slightly exceeds the original limit.

However, as stated in the journal’s author guidelines, exceeding the word limit is acceptable when necessary for revision purposes. Therefore, we respectfully hope that the current word count will not pose a problem for the evaluation of our revised manuscript.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

Kind regards,
Malik Güngör
