<p>The journal retracts the November 26 2024 article cited above.</p>
<p>Following publication, it was brought to our attention that the authors used and published primary research data, which was generated by other researchers, without permission and without a mention to their contributors. Unauthorized data use is a breach of Frontiers&#x00027; guidelines and those of the Committee on Publication Ethics. As such, this article is being retracted.</p>
<p>The authors agree to this retraction.</p>
<p>Frontiers would like to thank Hailemichael Kindle Abate leading the study presented for contacting the journal regarding the misappropriation of the data in the published article.</p>
