This study presents a high-fidelity computational investigation of the aerodynamic performance of a Baja SAE off-road vehicle using a hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence modeling approach. The methodology combines the Spalart–Allmaras RANS model for near-wall flow treatment with Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) for resolving lar...

Background Social conflicts mediated by local authorities represent a central governance challenge in rural and peri-urban districts of Peru. Deputy governors (tenientes gobernadores) serve as unpaid representatives of the Executive Branch at the community level; however, their conflict mediation capacity has rarely been studied empirically. This study examined the impact of com...

Background Gut-associated next-generation probiotics (NGPs), particularly Akkermansia and Faecalibacterium, are promising candidates for restoring gut homeostasis and managing dysbiosis-related diseases. Comparative genomics can reveal their pangenome diversity, lineage-specific traits, and functional adaptations. This review aimed to synthesize comparative genomic evidence on t...

Background/Objectives Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) are highly effective long-acting reversible contraceptives; however, their utilization remains low in South Africa, particularly in rural settings of the KSD sub-district. This study aimed to explore professional nurses’ perspectives on health system and service delivery barriers influencing IUCD uptake in primary ...

Transforming individual knowledge into collective, institutionalized action remains a persistent challenge in sustainability governance. Although Digital Social Innovation (DSI) is widely invoked as a bridge across this gap, its function as a structured socio-technical learning strategy, rather than a digital platform initiative, remains theoretically underdeveloped and, in deve...
