X-Ray Diffraction peaks indicated that yttria-stabilized zirconia crystallized in tetragonal structure for both slip casted(SC) and fused deposition modelled(FDM) samples. Further, scanning electron microscopy of slip casted sample showcased closely packed structure with fine grains and an average grain size of ∼65 nm whilst fused deposition modelled samples showcased non-homogeneous pores with ∼20 nm grain size.

It is believed that T2DM in Indigenous peoples is a direct result of colonization and the introduction of changes to traditional Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and living. The broader question will guide the aim of this scoping review: What is currently known about the lived experience of self-managing diabetes in Indigenous men, women, and two-spirited individuals living with T2DM in Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand? Specific objectives of this scoping review include 1) exploring the lived experience of self-management practices of Indigenous men, women, and two-spirited individuals living with T2DM; and 2) describing how self-management experiences differ from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual perspectives.

Methods: A total number of 86 patients were included in the study. Data from two periods were used: from 1 month before the date when the first COVID-19 case in Turkiye was reported on March 11, 2020 (Febraury 10, 2020-March 31, 2020) and from the pandemic was severe between April 01, 2020 and May 31, 2020.
