Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article is valuable in both theoretical and practical terms. I appreciate it perfectly.
In the future, perhaps I would recommend describing the results below the tables a little more.

Reviewer 3 Report
Very interesting. Only scertain points of improvement:
1) check the grammar/syntax again (e.g. "when they 134
use of crucial resources is placed under control...")
2) methodologically, clarify where you have found the list of the whole population in order to carry out a random sampling
3) the indicators K, H, A, M (lines 214-216) should be explained
4) how the equal weights weree measured and what they practically mean should be also explained.
5) put highlights in the conclusion/ point out the main findings and present them in a way so as to make them non-trivial.
