Embedding Lifelong Learning In Hospitality Tvet: The Boma International Hospitality College(Kenya) Model For Sustainable Careers In Africa, Destaings Nyenyi Nyongesa, Samuel Irungu, Jocelyn Omusebe, Enoch Tunoi

ICHRIE Research Reports

The hospitality and tourism sector in Africa drives significant employment and growth, yet many workers enter the industry through informal pathways that limit career mobility. Embedding lifelong learning within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is therefore essential for reskilling, upskilling, and formally recognizing experiential learning. This study uses Boma International Hospitality College (BIHC) in Kenya as a case study to examine institutional models that support lifelong learning in hospitality TVET. A review of global, regional, and national literature was combined with an institutional analysis of BIHC’s training ecosystem, including international qualifications, micro-credentials, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), and …

Tunable Multi-Stage Query-Based Protocol For Personalized Content Recommendations, Animesh Sinha, Jital Patel, Akshay Gaur

Defensive Publications Series

Content recommendation systems rely on user-behavior statistics to model preferences. These systems must be engineered to handle an ever-growing corpus of documents, a vast user base, and sparse signals for inferring latent interests. Additionally, they face significant challenges in determining the appropriate dimensionality and granularity for interest modeling. To produce high-quality systems that function at web-scale, it is essential to leverage global semantic knowledge. Conventionally, this is achieved through various embedding and tagging systems that provide a foundational vocabulary for interest modeling. In this work, we propose a multi-stage, query-based architecture that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to learn high-quality …

Association Of Mir-34a With Metastatic Progression Through The Foxo3a–Sirt1 Regulatory Axis In Breast Cancer, Banu Şahi̇n, İlker Batuhan Bural, Hüseyi̇n Özcan, Sendegül Yildirim, Gamze Tanriöver, Şükran Burçak Yoldaş

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: Breast cancer represents the foremost cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide and is characterized by a markedly high metastatic potential, contributing substantially to its clinical severity and poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the interrelationship among silent information regulator (SIRT1), Forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a), and microRNA-34a (miR- 34a), the latter of which promotes apoptosis by suppressing the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells. Specifically, we investigated the tumor microenvironment associated with metastatic progression of malignant primary tumors, the influence of nonmetastatic (benign) tumors, and the potential roles of these proteins in both primary tumor development …

Metagenomic Insights Into Antimicrobial Resistance In Small-Scale Poultry And Cattle Farms, Elijah Ayilaran, Agnes Kilonzo-Nthenge Agnes Kilonzo-Nthenge

Food and Animal Sciences Faculty Research

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical challenge to global health, with food animal production systems recognized as significant reservoirs of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study evaluated the prevalence and distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors (VFs) across small-scale poultry and cattle farms. A total of 468 samples (soil, feces, water, and natural land soil) were collected from four farms and analyzed using shotgun metagenomics. Proteobacteria (34.91%) were the dominant phylum across environments, followed by Cyanobacteria (15.67%), Actinobacteria (14.95%), Firmicutes (10.57%), and Bacteroidetes (8.69%).

Cosby V. Leslie, 142 Nev. Adv. Op. 11 (Feb. 12, 2026), Madeleine Langhoff

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

In Cosby v. Leslie, the Nevada Supreme Court held that "intrusion" under NRS 200.364(9) requires entry into a genital or anal opening, meaning conduct lacking such intrusion does not constitute sexual assault under Nevada law.

Gold Standard Ventures (Us) Inc. V. Thorson, 142 Nev. Adv. Op. 10 (Feb. 12, 2026), Lauren Jung

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

The Court affirmed the district court's dismissal of Orla's petition for judicial review, finding that a party must have an existing personal or property right affected by the challenged decision to have standing. The Court therefore found that Orla had no standing to bring suit.

A Study Of The Intellectual Property Rights Of Farmers With Special Reference To The Protection Of Plant Variety And The Farmers' Rights Act, 2001, Gomathi R Ms

Theses and Dissertations

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) confer exclusive rights on individuals over the creations of their minds. Intellectual property is protected through patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, geographical indications, and other legal rights, enabling inventors to obtain economic benefits and legal recognition from their innovations. These rights provide exclusive usage for a prescribed period and have evolved significantly over the years, sharing similarities with ownership rights over tangible property. As intangible rights, IPR primarily consist of the property element and the object to which that property relates. Among the various forms of IPR, Plant Variety Protection (PVP) rights recognize the creativity and …
