Portuguese term or phrase: Representado por
It's a simple question but I have some doubts. Anyway, I am not sure if I should use the term "by" or "due to" for "por" as shown below. In my opinion "due to" would be more appropriate? Thanks!


"O Brasil está sendo considerado um dos países mais avançado em Telemedicina na América Latina e Caribe. O processo de mudança dos conceitos de gestão e do paradigma dos cuidados em saúde tem proporcionado importantes desafios à Telemedicina e o Home Care no Brasil. Somado a isso, o cenário brasileiro é representado ***por** crescentes inovações nessa área, aumento da dependência tecnológica nos sistemas em saúde, e **por** possuir um perfil epidemiológico no qual prevalece o envelhecimento da população e a cronificação de certas doenças.

disagree  Mario Freitas: There "are" an increasing number?? Is this your perfect English? Didn't you learn that "number" is singular and the verb must agree with it? Ther IS an increasing number. This does NOT apply to "AN increasing number", but I didn't expect you to understand
