Overtime the parameters commonly used to measure the population of a location are number of population in figure, population density in people/km2 and population growth in percentage. These parameters are not enough to quantify the intensity of the population of the entities of a place.

Knowing...
The magnitude of a population of a particular entity such as human being, plant, animal, bacteria and virus present in a state, nation or location determine the strength and the weakness of such state, nation or location.

ABSTRACT The current impact of climate variability highlights the need for an increased understanding of the relationship between climate-sensitive disasters such as floods, vulnerability, and adaptation/coping strategies of households. With few exceptions, given the variations in sociodemographic and economic characteristics, floods tend to have a disproportionate impact on resource-poor urban communities, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to; (1) identify indicators of...

ABSTRACT The burden of diabetes is reflected not only in the increasing numbers of people with diabetes, but also in the growing numbers of premature deaths due to diabetes. One measure of burden of disease is disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), which combines estimates of years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) to count the total years of healthy life lost from disease and injury. In Kenya, NonCommunicable Diseases (NCDs) accounts for more t...
