The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rising in the general population. This increase leads to higher cardiovascular risk, with cardiovascular diseases being the main cause of death in diabetic patients. New therapeutic weapons for diabetes mellitus are now available. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are novel drugs that are widely used due to their strong benefit in preventing hospitalization for decompensated heart failure and renal protection, limiting the deterioration of the glomerular filtration rate, independently of the presence of diabetes mellitus. These drugs have also shown benefit in the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality in diabetic patients with established cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, patients with T2DM usually present a high burden of associated comorbidities. Some of these entities are arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), vascular aging, respiratory diseases, or osteoporosis and fractures. Healthcare professionals should treat these patients from an integral point of view, and not manage each pathology separately. Therefore, as potential mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors in metabolic diseases have not been fully reviewed, we conducted this review to know the current evidence of the use and effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on these metabolic diseases.

Published: February 2023

Background: Previous studies have failed to implement risk stratification in patients with heart failure (HF) who are eligible for secondary implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. We aimed to evaluate whether machine learning-based phenomapping using routinely available clinical data can identify subgroups that differ in characteristics and prognoses. Methods: A total of 389 patients with chronic HF implanted with an ICD were included, and forty-four baseline variables were collected. Phenomapping was performed using hierarchical k-means clustering based on factor analysis of mixed data (FAMD). The utility of phenomapping was validated by comparing the baseline features and outcomes of the first appropriate shock and all-cause death among the phenogroups. Results: During a median follow-up of 2.7 years for device interrogation and 5.1 years for survival status, 142 (36.5%) first appropriate shocks and 113 (29.0%) all-cause deaths occurred. The first 12 principal components extracted using the FAMD, explaining 60.5% of the total variability, were left for phenomapping. Three mutually exclusive phenogroups were identified. Phenogroup 1 comprised the oldest patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy; had the highest proportion of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia; and had the most favorable cardiac structure and function among the phenogroups. Phenogroup 2 included the youngest patients, mostly those with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, who had intermediate heart dimensions and function, and the fewest comorbidities. Phenogroup 3 had the worst HF progression. Kaplan–Meier curves revealed significant differences in the first appropriate shock (p = 0.002) and all-cause death (p < 0.001) across the phenogroups. After adjusting for medications in Cox regression, phenogroups 2 and 3 displayed a graded increase in appropriate shock risk (hazard ratio [HR] 1.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03–2.28, p = 0.033; HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.42–3.43, p < 0.001, respectively; p for trend <0.001) compared to phenogroup 1. Regarding mortality risk, phenogroup 3 was associated with an increased risk (HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.45–3.49, p < 0.001). In contrast, phenogroup 2 had a risk (p = 0.124) comparable with phenogroup 1. Conclusions: Machine-learning-based phenomapping can identify distinct phenotype subgroups in patients with clinically heterogeneous HF with secondary prophylactic ICD therapy. This novel strategy may aid personalized medicine for these patients.

Intracoronary imaging has brought new insight in the field of interventional cardiology. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are the most commonly used imaging modalities. Regarding their technical characteristics IVUS and OCT have similarities as well as differences, a fact that could have significant clinical implications. Both techniques play an important role in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidance and demonstrated superiority compared to intravascular coronary angiography (ICA) guidance alone. Furthermore, their use can notably assist coronary plaque evaluation; both provide additional information of plaque characteristics, which can lead to a better understanding of the cause of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and better clinical outcomes. However, there is not enough clinical evidence for the superiority of one method compared to the other, something that is, also, reflected in the guidelines. In this review, we aim to compare role of IVUS and OCT in the different aspects of coronary artery disease (CAD), according to the latest scientific data. In addition, we present the future perspectives regarding the IVUS and OCT, with co-registration of the two methods or hybrid OCT-IVUS catheters.
Impact of vibration on the workers' psychological health
Authors: Kuleshova Marina V.
Published: February 2023

Industrial vibration is one of the most common factors of the labor process that have a negative impact on the health of employees. The search and selection of sources to identify the features of the psychological state under the influence of vibration was carried out using bibliographic databases Scopus, MedLine, Web of Science, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index), Cyberleninka. Data analysis has shown that there are relatively few studies of the psychological health of people working in contact with vibration, mainly they relate to clinical and paraclinical problems. The research results of domestic and foreign authors presented in the review indicate mental maladaptation, psychoemotional disorders, alexithymia, violations of the mnestic-attentional sphere and a low level of health-related quality of life, changes in psychoaffective status, the predominance of maladaptive coping strategies, destructive psychological defenses. In addition, the severity of pain, which are characteristic of vibration pathology, correlates with the severity of depression, anxiety, reduced stress resistance. The presented data indicate the need for active identification of psychological characteristics, monitoring of changes in psychoemotional status, the formation of personal profiles of both practically healthy people working in contact with vibration and patients with vibration pathology to prevent the consequences of exposure to industrial vibration.

Published: February 2023

In recent years, pretrained language models (PLMs) have emerged as a powerful tool for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. In this paper, we examine the potential of these models in the finance sector and the challenges they face in this domain. We also discuss the interpretability of these models and the ethical considerations associated with their deployment in finance. Our analysis shows that pretrained language models have the potential to revolutionize the way financial data is analyzed and processed. However, it is important to address the challenges and ethical considerations associated with their deployment to ensure that they are used in a responsible and accountable manner. Future research will focus on developing models that can handle the volatility of financial data, mitigate bias in the training data, and provide interpretable predictions. Overall, we believe that the future of AI in finance will be shaped by the continued development and deployment of pretrained language models.
Troubling Collaboration: Matters of Care for Visualization Design Study
Authors: Akbaba Derya , Lange Devin , Correll Michael , Lex Alexander , Meyer Miriah
Published: February 2023

A common research process in visualization is for visualization researchers to collaborate with domain experts to solve particular applied data problems. While there is existing guidance and expertise around how to structure collaborations to strengthen research contributions, there is comparatively little guidance on how to navigate the implications of, and power produced through the socio-technical entanglements of collaborations. In this paper, we qualitatively analyze reflective interviews of past participants of collaborations from multiple perspectives: visualization graduate students, visualization professors, and domain collaborators. We juxtapose the perspectives of these individuals, revealing tensions about the tools that are built and the relationships that are formed — a complex web of competing motivations. Through the lens of matters of care, we interpret this web, concluding with considerations that both trouble and necessitate reformation of current patterns around collaborative work in visualization design studies to promote more equitable, useful, and care-ful outcomes.

Changes in EEG Entropy, Alpha Power, and Beta Power Following a VR Psychedelic Journey
Authors: Mattek Sonny
Published: February 2023

Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging tool that has been shown to induce experiences similar to psychedelics. In this report, we measure brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) before and after a novel VR experience. This Inner State VR experience was designed as a drugless psychedelic journey that mimicks a microdosing experience, to create the opportunity of participating in a psychedelic journey without consumption of a substance. We found the post-VR brain activity showed decreases in entropy, as well as increases in power in the alpha and beta frequency ranges, compared to pre-VR. We relate these data to existing literature to hypothesize how VR could be a useful tool for integration, creativity, and focus, which is consistent with anecdotal use cases of psychedelic microdosing.

Board, card, or video games have been played by virtually every individual in the world population, with both children and adults participating. Games are popular because they are intuitive and fun. These distinctive qualities of games also make them ideal as a platform for studying the mind. By being intuitive, games provide a unique vantage point for understanding the inductive biases that support behavior in more complex, ecological settings than traditional lab experiments. By being fun, games allow researchers to study new questions in cognition such as the meaning of "play'' and intrinsic motivation, while also supporting more extensive and diverse data collection by attracting many more participants. We describe both the advantages and drawbacks of using games relative to standard lab-based experiments and lay out a set of recommendations on how to gain the most from using games to study cognition. We hope this article will lead to a wider use of games as experimental paradigms, elevating the ecological validity, scale, and robustness of research on the mind.
Voting, fast and slow: Ballot order and likeability effects in the Five Star Movement's 2012 online primary election
Authors: Marolla Francesco , Maineri Angelica Maria , Tagliabue Jacopo , Cassani Giovanni
Published: February 2023

We document ballot order effects in the 2012 Parlamentarie, the online primary election held by the Italian Five-star Movement to select the candidate Members of Parliament in the 2013 Italian general elections. We show that candidates appearing towards the top of the screen systematically ranked higher in preferences. This effect holds controlling for candidates’ socio-demographic features. We also show that the number of competing candidates moderates ballot order effects, with a stronger penalty for candidates appearing at the bottom of the page in more crowded competitions. Finally, we show the influence of candidates’ likeability. Our results confirm for the first time that ballot order effects and likeability effects, already documented in traditional paper-based elections, are also found in online set-ups. We conclude by highlighting how the online medium, if properly leveraged, has the potential to reduce the influence of such biases.
Rethinking Queer (Asian) Studies: Geopolitics, Covid-19, and Post-Covid Queer Theories and Mobilities
Authors: Wei John
Published: February 2023

This paper considers queer studies in the global geopolitical hotspot of Asia, as well as how we can reimagine queer theories through both the Covid-19 pandemic and the intensified regional and global superpower competition and geopolitical tensions. It argues for a rethinking of queer studies through today’s international relations and geopolitical complications in a sociological political economy. The aim is to connect critical studies with analyses of economic and social class structures, an approach that has been substantiated by the current crises, and to present an expanded queer mobility theory with two brief case studies (mini-critiques) of the current socioeconomic conditions facing marginalized people under Covid-19 and the changing geopolitical landscape. In so doing, this paper actively explores what queer studies can do and can be through the current historical turning point of the pandemic and geopolitical rivalry towards potential post-Covid socioeconomic revival and recovery.
Síndrome metabólico: generalidades y abordaje temprano para evitar riesgo cardiovascular y diabetes mellitus tipo 2
Authors: Castro Quintanilla Denis Alejandro , Rivera Sandoval Natalia , Solera Vega Andrés
Published: February 2023

El síndrome metabólico se considera un conjunto de factores de riesgo que incluyen obesidad abdominal, resistencia a la insulina, presión arterial elevada y dislipidemia aterogénica. El origen del síndrome metabólico se debe a la combinación de los factores genéticos y epigenéticos, estilo de vida y factores ambientales. La enfermedad cardiovascular y la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 son las principales condiciones coexistentes. El diagnóstico se realiza cuando hay presencia de tres o más de los cinco criterios que incluyen: 1) presión arterial sistólica ≥130 mm/Hg y/o presión arterial diastólica ≥85 mm/Hg, 2) niveles de triglicéridos ≥150 mg/dL, 3) niveles de HDL <40 mg/dl en hombres y <50 md/dl en mujeres, 4) niveles de glucosa ≥100 mg/dL y 5) circunferencia abdominal ≥88 cm para las mujeres y ≥ 102 cm en hombres. El tratamiento se basa en medidas tanto farmacológicas como no farmacológicas. El síndrome metabólico es una condición que siempre debe tenerse presente y que debe de ser excluida en la población de riesgo. Las medidas antropométricas constituyen un buen método de detección temprana para poder iniciar con las pruebas complementarias de laboratorio y así diagnosticar la patología de manera oportuna y así evitar las repercusiones a largo plazo.

Authors: Dumanska Ilona , Spivak Anastasiya
Published: February 2023

The publication presents scientific and methodological approaches to the analysis of NCTS as a European digital practice of common transit in Ukraine and the study of its implementation in the IT tools of customs authorities. The process of Ukraine's accession to the Convention on the Common Transit Procedure was considered and such stages of NCTS implementation as: pilot project, national and international application were determined. The differences in filling out international transit declarations compared to the national application are identified and the elements of the joint transit regime interpreted in the NCTS system are highlighted. The functional interaction of customs: «departure», «transit» and «destination» with the subjects of the procedure and carriers in the NCTS system was studied. Prospective opportunities from simplifications in customs procedures obtained as a result of the implementation of NCTS for Ukrainian traders have been identified. It has been proven that NCTS is an IT tool in the customs practice of EU countries, which is implemented in the software of the customs authorities of Ukraine for the purpose of joint management and control over the transit of goods and vehicles. Its implementation ensures speeding up and increasing the efficiency of basic and related transit procedures, prevents fraud and smuggling by traders.

PROBLEMS OF THE INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE STATE POLICY OF MANAGING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Panchenko Volodymyr
Published: February 2023

A comparative analysis of the macro-institutional environment and the structure of transaction costs of subjects of the entrepreneurial sector of the economy in Ukraine was conducted. Micro-institutional indicators of the effectiveness of the state policy of managing the competitiveness of the entrepreneurial sector of the Ukrainian economy are highlighted. A complex of institutional factors that prevent the competitiveness of the entrepreneurial sector of the Ukrainian economy is provided. A set of transaction costs associated with enterprise registration, registration of property rights and loans and their impact on the level of ensuring the competitiveness of entrepreneurship in Ukraine have been determined. It was emphasized that in Ukraine during the transition period, the appropriate conditions for the formation of civilized entrepreneurship and incentives that would ensure their sufficient level of competitiveness were not created. It has been established that the most important factor of modern transformational processes in the sphere of state policy is integration for the benefit of the further development of entrepreneurship and ensuring its competitiveness. Despite the ineffective attempt to create the institutional foundations of entrepreneurship, changes in the system of market relations led to the transformation of the social and institutional order in Ukraine and did not ensure the formation of an effective state policy for managing the competitiveness of the entrepreneurial sector of the economy. Significant disproportions related to the deformation of the monetary and credit system of Ukraine and their negative impact on ensuring the competitiveness of the business sector and the formation of sources for the implementation of state policy in the relevant sphere are emphasized.
The Ordering of Green Values

Published: February 2023

The article presents a comparative study of shale gas media debates in Germany and Poland. Drawing from the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD), it addresses discursive conflicts over the use of hydraulic fracturing and its environmental impacts in both countries. The authors relate their analysis to the theoretical debate that emerged in the 1990s in French sociology concerning the question of “green justifications” that form a specific way of how social actors intervene, dispute, and build compromises in public discussions to protect non-human entities. Referring to these discussions, this article identifies several ecological justification clusters and the associated social actors that are ‘compromised’ or enclosed in existing orders of worth.

Published: February 2023

This paper analyzes two novels of Pakistani female authors i.e. Bapsi Sidhwa’s Ice Candy Man (1988) and Mumtaz Shahnawaz’s The Heart Divided (1957). Both the authors present Lahore as a metropolitan that was the center of all the political happenings; a city space that provided women the opportunity to participate in the public sphere. The central theme of the selected novels is the Partition of the Indian Subcontinent. Sidhwa and Shahnawaz reconstruct the experience of Partition in their works. Both novels are set in the city of Lahore in which authors are engaged with the recent political and social history of the Subcontinent. Both authors chronicle Partition through their female narratives. Their fictional characters document the role of women in the Partition movement. Sidhwa’s novel provides the inclusive view of the diverse feminine role of women during Partition.

The commented decision concerns the right of defence, from the perspective of giving up the direct taking of evidence from the statement of the co-accused at the hearing. In literature, it is indicated that the principle of direct adduction consists of three directives. Firstly, the court is required to base any of its decisions only on evidence taken at the hearing. Secondly, the court has to take evidence directly. Finally, the court is to make findings of fact based on initial evidence. In the analysed case, one should agree with the Supreme Court that the principle of direct adduction was not breached since it remains in the court’s discretion to decide whether to consider sufficient reading out of the statement given by the defendant at the pre-trial phase. Moreover, there has been no breach of the right of defence also considering the balancing measures consisting in an in-depth analysis of the evidence gathered in the case, to which evidence the defendant had the opportunity to directly refer.

Published: February 2023

Few studies present interactions among plant physiological and seed chemical composition of soybean cultivates under different arrangements. Therefore, this study seeks to understand this relationship between space occupation and product quality. We grew two soybean cultivars (Tec 7849 Ipro and Monsoy 6972 Ipro) in four different spatial arrangements (50.0 x 7.1; 40.0 x 8.9; 30.0 x 11.9 and 18.9 x 18.9 or 16.2 x 16.2 cm, respectively). During V4 and R2 phenological stages, we analyzed the gas exchange, and at the harvest were composed two different lots: freshly harvested seeds and the seeds subjected to accelerated aging; in both lots, we evaluated germination test, vigor, germination speed index, seedling fresh mass, and the determination of the chemical composition of the seeds. For experiment conducted to analyze physiological parameters we adopted the factorial scheme 2x2x4 (two evaluation periods x two soybean cultivars x four spatial arrangements), and for seed quality and chemical composition, we adopted the factorial scheme 2x4 (two soybean cultivars x four spatial crop arrangements). The vegetative stage was crucial for better gas exchange efficiency, and the spatial arrangements positively influenced the physiological and chemical quality of the seeds for soybean crop, where the fitted arrangement was observed in 40.0 cm between rows and 8.9 cm between plants for the cultivar Tec 7849 Ipro and 50.0 cm between rows and 5.3 cm between plants, for Monsoy 6972 Ipro. Adjusts in spatial arrangements can promote beneficial responses in seed quality.

Authors: Kisanjani Alex , Wahyuni Hendang Sri , Andivas Marulan , Misrianto Misrianto
Published: February 2023

Distribution is one of the most important things to increase customer satisfaction. However, distribution is often a problem for companies. The wider the marketing area owned by the company, the more complex the problems that arise in the distribution schedule. PT DBM's Purwokerto branch also faced a similar situation, where distribution activities were not well coordinated, resulting in lost sales, accumulation of goods in each warehouse and swelling storage costs. Therefore, an appropriate method is needed to schedule distribution activities to each warehouse, so as to reduce distribution costs. The method used in this research is Distribution Requirement Planning. This method is effective for reducing distribution costs. The results showed that by using the Distribution Requirement Planning method, distribution costs were lower than the company's distribution method. Distribution costs using the company distribution method amounted to Rp. 1,371,391, while distribution costs using the Distribution Requirements Planning method amounted to Rp. 1,040,501, resulting in a cost reduction of 24.13%.

There were carefully studied properties including porous structures, surface functional groups, and morphology structures. The N2 adsorption studies showed that the nitrogen isotherm exhibits Type IV, and the presence of a hysteresis loop clearly shows the predominantly mesoporous characteristics. The values of correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9999 represented the satisfactory pseudo-second-order model. The results show that pinecone-activated carbon was effectively used as an adsorbent.
Анодный материал SiOx для литий-ионных аккумуляторов
Authors: Абдрахманова А. , Омарова Н. , Балташ Е. , Маушанова Д.
Published: February 2023

Из-за интенсивного выпуска электронных устройств и аппаратов спрос на литий-ионные аккумуляторы растет. К основным требованиям в этих запросах можно отнести большую автономную работу,более безопасную и меньшую по объему, более удобную в использовании. Ученые с целью увеличения емкости аккумуляторов используют метод замещения графита на отрицательном электроде ЛИБ кремнием, теоретическая емкость которого в 10 раз выше. Однако к основным препятствиям при использовании кремния в качестве отрицательного электрода можно отнести: увеличение объема анода в процессе литизации и процессы, протекающие на межфазной границе. Поэтому разработка оксида кремния SiOx на основе кремния в качестве отрицательного электрода позволит усовершенствовать электрохимические свойства кремния.

The Complexities of Understanding Reported TV Audiences for Live Sports Broadcasts
Authors: Van Reeth Daam
Published: February 2023

Abstract: Organizers of major sports events regularly report impressive multibillion TV audiences to emphasize the success of their competitions, yet such claims are seldom substantiated with hard evidence, nor is it usually made clear what the numbers actually stand for. The aim of this paper is to provide a better insight into the ambiguity of reported audience sizes for sports events and to beg the question: What is the TV audience size for a live sports broadcast? By detailing seven pitfalls, we critically discuss the problems associated with a correct understanding of TV audiences for live sports broadcasts. We substantiate our findings with specific examples for various sports events. The paper demonstrates the relevance of a correct understanding of how TV audiences for sports broadcasts are determined and communicated, and the analysis of the pitfalls uncovers misunderstandings about reported TV audiences that have been largely ignored before. We also discuss the relevance of our insights for the growing body of academic literature in this field.
Geographical Distribution of Economic Impact: Sporting Events in Small Cities
Authors: Salgado-Barandela Jesyca , Barajas Angel , Sanchez-Fernandez Patricio
Published: February 2023

Abstract: There are limitations in determining the economic impact of sporting events that need to be considered. One of these is represented by first-round leakages. This work focuses on explaining first-round leakages in the economic impact of sporting events on small cities. Seeking to identify this type of leakage, we estimated the spatial distribution of the economic impact of two small-sized events organized in a town with a population of 24,248 inhabitants. The results showed a first-round leakage exceeding €300,000 and identified higher average attendee expenditure in a more developed city adjacent to the host city. Moreover, an exploratory analysis concerning the influence of leakage in final spending was performed. Finally, the elements that would increase the probability of leakage were studied. Overall, the current case study highlighted the importance of considering the existence of leakage.

«МЕТОДИКА ДОВІРИ / НЕДОВІРИ ОСОБИСТОСТІ ДО СВІТУ, ДО ІНШИХ ЛЮДЕЙ, ДО СЕБЕ» (А. КУПРЕЙЧЕНКО): УКРАЇНОМОВНА АДАПТАЦІЯ, ВАЛІДИЗАЦІЯ ТА СТАНДАРТИЗАЦІЯ

Автори статті розглядають довіру як інтегративний соціально-психологічний феномен, що поєднує позитивну оцінку об’єкта, позитивні переживання та позитивні очікування від взаємодії з ним (від самого процесу взаємодії та отриманих результатів). Довіра активізує готовність суб’єкта до взаємодії з об’єктом чи іншим суб’єктом, пришвидшує процес прийняття рішення, дозволяє долати невизначеність ситуації. Три види довіри, а саме довіра до себе, довіра до інших людей та довіра до світу, розглядають у роботі як різні форми прояву базової довіри, що формується ще у перші роки життя людини. У роботі наведені дані щодо адаптації україномовного варіанту «Методики довіри / недовіри особистості до світу, до інших людей, до себе» (А. Купрейченко). Україномовний варіант складається з 12 тверджень, які поєднані у три шкали: «Довіра до світу» (3 твердження), «Довіра до інших людей» (3 твердження), «Довіра до себе» (6 тверджень). У дослідженні встановлено, що всі твердження мають високий рівень дискримінативності, всі показники демонструють відносно задовільну надійність-узгодженість тверджень у складі певної шкали. Валідизація шкал здійснювалась за допомогою показників конвергентної валідності. Були застосовані такі опитувальники: «Методика діагностики міжособистісних відносин» (Т. Лірі) (показники скептицизму, залежності, конформізму); опитувальник «Шістнадцять особистісних факторів» (16 PF, Р. Кетелл) (фактор Q1 «Консерватизм – радикалізм»). Встановлені кореляції дозволили уточнити зміст шкал, внести корективи у інтерпретацію основних показників. На вибірці 160 осіб юнацького віку була проведена стандартизація методики, сформовані тестові норми за кожним показником. Дана методика може використовуватись в прикладних соціально-психологічних дослідженнях та в наукових дослідженнях, що проводяться в межах когнітивної парадигми.
Exploring the Practices of Refugee Settlement Practitioners in Toronto: An Institutional Ethnography
Authors: Parada Henry , Bravo Fabiola , Loewen Rebecca , El-Lahib Yahya
Published: February 2023

Using Institutional Ethnography as a method of inquiry, this study explores the institutional ruling relations that regulate refugees’ settlement process in Toronto from the standpoint view of practitioners. The research team conducted 13 semi- structured, in-depth interviews with practitioners and “mapped out” their everyday living experiences. The institutional map serves to illuminate how governance structures shape the professional practices of practitioners, which shape the settlement experience of refugees. The findings indicate that practitioners strategize to meet refugees’ needs and engage in work outside of the system due to funding constraints.
