THE INTERNAL REALITIES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES - A FUNCTIONAL FRAMEWORK OF SELF-MANAGEMENT PRACTICES VIA GROUNDED THEORY APPROACH.

The internal realities of individuals with type 2 diabetes - a functional framework of self-management practices via Grounded Theory approach.

BACKGROUND:An upward trend is observed in the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in South-East Asian and Western Pacific regions.These patterns incur a costly health burden ninkasi lager to developing nations around the world.A clear understanding of the mechanics behind self-management practices of T2D patients might help overcome this impasse.Th

Identifying the parameters of photovoltaic cells using Gaussian bare-bone imperialist competitive algorithm with opposition-based learning mechanism

Extracting the precise parameters of photovoltaic (PV) cells has become very important for simulation, evaluation, control, and optimization of PV systems.However, it is still a challenging task to accurately and reliably extract the parameters of PV cells.To solve this difficult problem, in this paper, a new meta-heuristic algorithm called Gaussia
