The paired two-sample t-test and independent t-test were used. Lower case letters indicate in-group evaluation between rows; capital letters indicate evaluation between the columns. The same letters indicate that there is no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05), and different letters indicate that there is a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05)
