: This article benefited from the use of artificial intelligence tools to enhance the quality and clarity of the written content. AI was employed specifically to assist with grammatical and orthographic correction, as well as to improve the overall fluency, coherence, and readability of the manuscript. The authors used AI-based language support to refine sentence structure, ensure consistency in terminology, and adapt the text to meet academic standards expected in international peer-reviewed journals. Importantly, all substantive content, including research design, data analysis, interpretation of findings, and conclusions, was entirely conceived and developed by the authors. The AI tools were used solely for editorial support, and no generative AI was used to produce original scientific content.
