Answer explanation

the word 'aim' can be paired with both 'to' and 'at', each with different meaning. The phrase 'aim to' is usually found in journal articles/research reports to highlights the aims/goals of the study, while the phrase 'aim at' (usually passive) is used to inform a targeted audience/group of people.
