Abstract

General Background: Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) in women represent a persistent clinical problem with substantial healthcare burden and frequent relapse episodes. Specific Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as an opportunistic uropathogen characterized by advanced molecular and cellular strategies, including quorum sensing, biofilm formation, virulence factor expression, and intracellular persistence within bladder epithelial cells. Knowledge Gap: Despite increasing recognition of its role, the precise mechanisms underlying persistence and recurrence, particularly host–pathogen interactions and immune dysregulation, remain incompletely understood. Aims: This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence on the molecular and cellular pathways driving recurrent infections caused by P. aeruginosa in women. Results: The findings highlight interconnected mechanisms, including quorum sensing systems (Las, Rhl, Pqs), biofilm-mediated protection, secretion systems (Type III and VI), intracellular reservoirs, and altered innate immune responses involving Toll-like receptors and inflammasomes, alongside host-related factors such as hormonal and genetic influences. Novelty: This study integrates microbiological, immunological, and clinical perspectives into a unified framework explaining recurrence dynamics. Implications: Improved understanding of these mechanisms provides a foundation for identifying therapeutic targets and guiding the development of strategies to prevent recurrence and improve clinical management of rUTIs in women. Highlights:• Intracellular Bacterial Reservoirs Enable Persistence and Relapse After Apparent Clearance• Coordinated Signaling Systems Regulate Virulence Expression and Adaptive Survival Strategies• Host Immune Dysregulation and Hormonal Factors Contribute to Susceptibility in Female Patients Keywords: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections, Biofilm Formation, Quorum Sensing, Host Pathogen Interactions

Abstract

General Background: Mismanagement of used lubricating oil represents a significant environmental and economic challenge due to the loss of valuable hydrocarbon resources and contamination risks to land and water systems. Specific Background: Solvent extraction technology has emerged as a promising recycling approach capable of removing contaminants and restoring physicochemical characteristics of degraded lubricating oil while supporting resource conservation strategies. Knowledge Gap: However, limited empirical validation combining solvent selection with operational parameter optimization and predictive modeling for oil recovery rate remains insufficiently addressed. Aims: This study evaluates solvent extraction performance using several solvent systems and optimizes key process parameters, including solvent-to-oil ratio, temperature, and pressure, while developing regression-based predictive models for oil recovery rate and impurity removal. Results: Findings indicate that a propane-based solvent mixture increased recovery rate and reduced secondary waste generation, with optimal operating conditions identified at a solvent-to-oil ratio of 4:1, temperature range of 180–220 °C, and pressure of 4–10 mbar; regression modeling demonstrated strong agreement between experimental and calculated values with accuracy of 94.98 and variance of 0.016. Novelty: The integration of comparative solvent evaluation with empirical least-squares regression modeling provides validated relationships linking solvent composition and operational variables to recovery performance. Implications: These outcomes support solvent extraction as a sustainable pathway for recycling used lubricating oil, enabling improved resource utilization while reducing environmental burdens associated with conventional disposal practices.

Abstract

General Background: Existential psychology examines human anxiety, freedom, and authenticity as central aspects of lived experience. Specific Background: Annie Baker’s Infinite Life (2023) portrays five women enduring chronic illness while confronting psychological and existential struggles in a healthcare setting. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have discussed the play broadly but have not analyzed it through Rollo May’s existential concepts. Aims: This study analyzes the representation of existential anxiety, freedom, and authenticity in the play using Rollo May’s theoretical framework. Results: The findings show that the characters’ suffering reflects anxiety of nothingness, the burden of choice, and the pursuit of authentic existence despite physical limitations; anxiety is depicted not merely as negative but as a constructive force leading to self-awareness, responsibility, and meaning-making. Novelty: This study offers a focused existential-psychological reading of Infinite Life grounded specifically in May’s concepts, highlighting anxiety as a transformative element within contemporary drama. Implications: The analysis suggests that confronting existential anxiety enables individuals to move toward authenticity and responsible freedom, contributing to literary criticism and existential psychotherapy discourse. Highlights:• Anxiety is presented as a pathway toward self-awareness and meaning• Character struggles illustrate tension between choice and responsibility• Suffering functions as a route to genuine self-realization Keywords: Existential Anxiety, Authenticity, Freedom, Rollo May, Infinite Life

Abstract

General Background: Economic growth is a central indicator of national performance, with inflation and banking liquidity recognized as key macroeconomic variables shaping monetary conditions and financial intermediation. Specific Background: In transition economies such as Russia, fluctuations in inflation and banking sector liquidity have been closely associated with variations in GDP growth over recent decades. Knowledge Gap: Prior studies have largely examined inflation and growth separately, while the combined relationship between inflation, banking liquidity, and economic growth remains underexplored, particularly in the Russian context. Aims: This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between inflation, banking sector liquidity, and GDP growth in Russia using annual data from 2000 to 2024. Results: The findings from OLS and robust regression indicate that inflation demonstrates a positive and statistically significant association with GDP growth, while banking liquidity shows a weaker but still statistically relevant relationship. Logarithmic transformations further improve model accuracy and reveal consistent patterns across specifications. Novelty: This study considers inflation and banking liquidity jointly as an interactive macroeconomic phenomenon and applies logarithmic transformations to address uncertainty and heteroscedasticity. Implications: The results suggest that maintaining controlled inflation is associated with sustained economic growth, while banking liquidity plays a complementary role in supporting financial stability and economic activity within monetary policy frameworks. Highlights: • Inflation exhibits a statistically significant positive relationship with GDP expansion• Banking sector liquidity shows a modest yet meaningful association with growth dynamics• Logarithmic model specification provides higher explanatory accuracy for macroeconomic relationships Keywords: Inflation, Banking Liquidity, GDP Growth, Monetary Policy, Transition Economies

Abstract

General Background: The expansion of digital transformation in governmental institutions has increased reliance on electronic management systems, making information security a strategic priority. Specific Background: Despite the adoption of global standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT, and Zero Trust, existing approaches often separate technical and administrative dimensions, limiting practical implementation in e-management environments. Knowledge Gap: There remains a lack of a unified framework integrating technological, governance, and human-cultural aspects tailored to institutional contexts. Aims: This study develops an integrated information security framework combining technical infrastructure, governance policies, training, and security culture using Design Science Research Methodology. Results: Empirical analysis using SEM-PLS shows that organizational maturity (β=0.67) and technical measures (β=0.59) are primary drivers, while policies and training (β=0.44) and security culture (β=0.18) play supporting and mediating roles, explaining 74% of variance. Implementation increased readiness index from 65.2 to 83.9 and reduced incidents by 31%. Novelty: The study proposes a holistic, empirically validated framework integrating technical, administrative, and cultural dimensions within a single architecture. Implications: The framework provides actionable guidance for policymakers to establish unified governance structures, strengthen security culture, and deploy adaptive mechanisms in electronic management systems. Highlights:• Holistic Model Integrates Governance Structures With Technological Safeguards and Human Factors• Empirical Evidence Explains Major Variance in System Protection Performance• Framework Application Shows Measurable Increase in Readiness and Reduced Incident Frequency Keywords: Information Security, E-Management, Cybersecurity Framework, Security Culture, Organizational Maturity

Abstract

General Background: Colorectal cancer is a prevalent malignancy associated with complex immune responses that persist after surgical intervention. Specific Background: Cytokines such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-4 regulate tumor immunity and reflect postoperative immunological status. Knowledge Gap: Limited data exist regarding the cytokine profile and immune balance in postoperative colorectal cancer patients, particularly in relation to inflammatory and regulatory responses. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-4 in postoperative colorectal cancer patients and characterize their immunological profile. Results: In a cross-sectional study of 67 patients, mean cytokine levels were TNF-α (137.64 ± 38.15 pg/mL), IFN-γ (30.47 ± 5.75 pg/mL), IL-12 (23.76 ± 12.07 pg/mL), and IL-4 (5.21 ± 2.07 pg/mL). Elevated TNF-α and IFN-γ indicated persistent pro-inflammatory and cell-mediated immune activation, while lower IL-4 levels suggested limited anti-inflammatory regulation. Significant correlations were observed between postoperative duration and TNF-α, IL-12, and IL-4, as well as a negative correlation between IL-12 and IFN-γ. Novelty: This study provides a defined cytokine pattern demonstrating Th1-dominant immune response in postoperative colorectal cancer patients. Implications: Cytokine profiling may serve as a valuable approach for immune monitoring and understanding postoperative immune dysregulation in colorectal cancer management. Highlights:• Elevated pro-inflammatory mediators indicate sustained immune activation after surgery• Reduced anti-inflammatory response reflects imbalance in immune regulation• Cytokine correlations reveal interaction between postoperative duration and immune markers Keywords: Colorectal Cancer, Cytokine Profile, TNF-Alpha, Interferon Gamma, Interleukin-12
