In the original published version of this article, the list of authors and subsequently the author contribution statement were incorrect. The authors Camilo Ortega-Vega, Henrique Alves-de Brito, Diego Quiñones-Murillo, Mayerlenis Jiménez Rojas have now been added to the list of authors. The author Efrain Polo-Cuadrado has now been removed from the author list and is no longer listed as the corresponding author. They have been removed as their contribution does not justify authorship in Heliyon and because of their involvement in a new project with their university which would not allow them to be a part of simultaneous academic work. Efrain Polo-Cuadrado's contribution to the article is now recognized in the acknowledgements and Glenda Terán-Cuadrado is now the corresponding author. The corrected Acknowledgements can be found below: Dr. Efrain Polo-Cuadrado is gratefully acknowledged for his support during the submission, review, and writing process of the article.
