BACKGROUND
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases independently of other risk factors. However, data on its effect on cardiovascular outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalizations with varied obesity levels is scarce. Clinical management and patient care depend on understanding COVID-19 admission results in NAFLD patients with varying obesity levels.
AIM
To study the in-hospital outcomes in COVID-19 patients with NAFLD by severity of obesity.
METHODS
COVID-19 hospitalizations with NAFLD were identified using International Classification of Disease -10 CM codes in the 2020 National Inpatient Sample database. Overweight and Obesity Classes I, II, and III (body mass index 30–40) were compared. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and stroke) were compared between groups. Multivariable regression analyses adjusted for sociodemographic, hospitalization features, and comorbidities.
RESULTS
Our analysis comprised 13260 hospitalizations, 7.3% of which were overweight, 24.3% Class I, 24.1% Class II, and 44.3% Class III. Class III obesity includes younger patients, blacks, females, diabetics, and hypertensive patients. On multivariable logistic analysis, Class III obese patients had higher risks of MACCE, inpatient mortality, and respiratory failure than Class I obese patients. Class II obesity showed increased risks of MACCE, inpatient mortality, and respiratory failure than Class I, but not significantly. All obesity classes had non-significant risks of MACCE, inpatient mortality, and respiratory failure compared to the overweight group.
CONCLUSION
Class III obese NAFLD COVID-19 patients had a greater risk of adverse outcomes than class I. Using the overweight group as the reference, unfavorable outcomes were not significantly different. Morbid obesity had a greater risk of MACCE regardless of the referent group (overweight or Class I obese) compared to overweight NAFLD patients admitted with COVID-19.

The authors write about the philosophical and political threats of the religious factor’s influence on the spiritual security in the North Caucasus region. The article provides that in order to develop the civil, spiritual and moral education and to level out the politicization of religion here it’s necessary to: 1) compliance with the constitutional principles of freedom of conscience and religion, of a person and citizen, regardless of nomenclature trends in the socio-political sphere; 2) distance of religious associations and the state; 3) the state non-interference in the internal affairs of religion; 4) equidistance of religious associations from the state; 5) equal legal personality for religious associations under the jurisdiction of the state.
PROTECTION OF HISTORICAL JUSTICE AS A FACTOR IN THE STABILITY OF SOCIAL RELATIONS
Authors: Kovalev Andrey A. 
Published: June 2024

Historical justice is an important theoretical and practical category for nation-states of the 21st century. Therefore, its unambiguous and clear understanding is the key to a successful intercivilizational dialogue. However, at the moment there is no such dialogue, there is only its appearance, supported by manipulations and speculations, the means of implementation of which is the falsification of history. This method is one of the most destructive and painful in the international confrontation of the 21st century. At the state level, it is recognized as a serious threat to the national security of modern Russia, requiring elimination. Therefore, knowledge of historical facts, the ability to identify truth and lies, the ability to navigate the past and the present, finding logical cause-and-effect relationships in a plurality of disparate historical facts and events will allow Russians to maintain their core (national mentality) and survive in the information and mental war of our time.

Published: June 2024

Identification preferences of young people determine the trends of further development of society. In this regard, an important research task is to identify the identification preferences of young people. Identity has various forms, which together form a hierarchical structure, the governing parameters of which are national identity. National identity is a component of constructivism, the formation of which is the focus of youth policy in Russia and Tajikistan. The effectiveness of youth policy largely depends on the extent to which it reflects the hopes and opportunities of the young generation, its growth potential. The article presents models of the identity structure of student youth in Russia and Tajikistan based on the results of empirical research and monitoring of the dynamics of identification preferences. The study of the structure of youth identity and the dynamics of its changes is based on an open associative experiment and sociological surveys among students of the Russian-Tajik (Slavic) University (Dushanbe) and the Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (Yekaterinburg). The conducted research allowed the authors to determine the dominant components in the structure of youth identity and substantiate the significance of the formation of national identity, active civic position among young people as a direction of youth policy.

Sistem Kontrol dan Monitoring Kadar Nutrisi Pada Vertikal Akuaponik Berbasis Arduino Nano
Authors: Asri Yoana Nurul 
Published: June 2024

Vertikal akuaponik merupakan gabungan dari akuakultur, yaitu membudidayakan ikan dan hewan air lainnya, dan hidroponik yang menanam tanaman tanpa tanah secara vertikal. Sistem ini menggunakan keduanya dalam kombinasi simbiosis di mana tanaman diberi makan berupa limbah hewan air. Dalam aquaponik, tanaman ditanam di bedengan, dan ikan ditempatkan di tangki ikan. Air yang kaya nutrisi dari tangki ikan yang berisi kotoran ikan diumpankan ke tempat tumbuh, di mana miliaran bakteri menguntungkan yang terjadi secara alami memecah amonia menjadi nitrit dan kemudian menjadi nitrat. Tanaman menyerap nitrat ini dan nutrisi lain untuk membantu mereka tumbuh. Akar tanaman membersihkan dan menyaring air sebelum mengalir kembali ke tangki ikan agar ikan dapat hidup. Air segar, bersih, dan beroksigen bersirkulasi kembali ke tangki ikan, di mana siklus akan dimulai lagi. Salah satu cara untuk mendapatkan hasil maksimal dari vertikal akuaponik ialah menjaga kadar nutrisi di dalam media air. Sistem dirancang menggunakan sensor TDS meter yang berfungsi sebagai pengamat kadar nutrisi pada larutan. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian sensor maka keakuratannya mendekati 93%. Dalam sistem ini diuji coba dengan tiga jenis larutan yang berbeda.
Et alternativ til diagnoser for psykiske lidelser: Makt–trussel–mening-rammeverket
Authors: Smogeli Holter Marianne Therese , Bøe Tore Dag , Bertelsen Bård 
Published: June 2024

The article presents the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF), which was developed by a working group under the British Psychological Association in 2018 as an alternative to traditional diagnostic systems such as DSM and ICD. PTMF criticises conventional diagnostics for being overly simplistic and based on an implicit assumption of individual vulnerability as the main cause of mental health problems. Instead, PTMF emphasises the importance of social conditions and life events in the development of emotional pain and mental health problems. This perspective entails viewing people’s responses as attempts to deal with threats to their basic life conditions rather than as symptoms of underlying illnesses. The framework is based on a critical reading of the evidence base for existing diagnostic systems and on extensive research supporting alternative understandings of what has traditionally been understood as mental illness. For Norwegian psychologists, PTMF can help enrich evidence-based clinical practice by promoting an understanding of mental illness as meaningful responses to complex life situations. This can be integrated into practice through methodologies such as case formulation, trauma-informed approaches, and network-based working methods that facilitate the exploration of people’s personal narratives and their social context. The article argues that incorporating PTMF as a legitimate conceptual framework in Norwegian health and welfare services could conceivably contribute to a more holistic health service by integrating mental health work with practical help and support from family, friends, and community resources in ways that are more appropriate than the way services work today. PTMF invites psychologists in Norway to challenge traditional models and contribute to more inclusive and contextualised mental health care. With this article, we hope to inspire reflection on new approaches to mental health and debate about the implications of integrating PTMF in clinical work.

Multi-modal metamaterial panels for broadband sound insulation: efficient modelling and design optimization
Authors: Giannini Daniele 
Published: June 2024

Locally resonant metamaterials can achieve unprecedented vibroacoustic attenuation in partition panels by subwavelength distributions of small attached resonators. However, conventional metamaterial panels employ single-mode transversal resonators and are effective only in a narrow band. This seminar discusses the potential of achieving broadband vibroacoustic attenuation through multi-modal metamaterials, which exploit multiple translational and rotational modes within a single resonator.To achieve efficient modelling, dedicated effective medium representations are developed through equivalent homogenized material properties, tailored to include multiple translational and rotational local resonances. For idealized metamaterial panels with infinite extent, the approach allows for the analytical prediction of the (multiple) bandgaps created for bending waves and of the resulting diffuse field sound transmission loss (STL). For real-world scenarios, the effects of finite size, boundary conditions, and non-uniform resonator distributions are included by coupling an effective medium-finite element model of the metamaterial panel with a diffuse model of the surrounding sound fields. An important design question is then addressed, that is how to achieve suitable local resonator layouts that obtain an adequate amount of resonances across the target frequency range. This problem is tackled by developing efficient numerical optimization methodologies that exploit effective medium modelling. The optimization objective is to maximize broadband diffuse STL while constraining the maximum mass of the attached resonators. As a showcase, the suppression of the broadband STL dip due to coincidence in orthotropic host plates is targeted. At first, promising resonator layouts based on physical insight are proposed and parametrically optimized. Afterwards, non-intuitive designs with an increased number of local resonances are obtained through density-based topology optimization, in which free material distribution is allowed for maximum design freedom.

Abstract
The rescue archeological excavations at the multicultural site of Tarnyane, Vidin district, Northwest Bulgaria, conducted in 2020–2021 uncovered evidence that the site was inhabited during the Early Bronze Age (EBA), Middle Bronze Age (MBA), Late Iron Age, and the Middle Ages. This article provides an overview of the main archaeological features uncovered during the excavations, along with the first results from anthropological, archaeozoological and geoarchaeological analyses. During the excavations, remains of an Early Bronze Age and Late Middle Ages settlements were studied, as were three necropolises: one from the Early Bronze Age, one from the Middle Bronze Age, and one from the Late Middle Ages. The archaeological site near Tarnyane has shed new important light on the development of the settlement patterns and burial practices during the Bronze Age and Late Middle Ages.
“The Natural World”: An Eco-Justice Case Study, 1972–1992
Authors: Quick Beth 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
This article explores the history of the United Methodist Social Principles as a case study, from their commissioning in 1968 and adoption in 1972 through several quadrennia of implementation, debate, and revision by General Conference sessions, in order to examine the eco-justice movement and the place of nonhuman animals in United Methodist polity. Focusing on the section of the Principles titled “The Natural World,” the author traces language related to concepts of the eco-justice movement, creation care, and nonhuman animals. Examining both proposed and adopted language at General Conferences, the author attends to which individuals and organizations, including caucus groups, advocated for changes related to “The Natural World” Social Principles. Exploring how eco-justice concerns become part of the social justice framework of The UMC over time, the article also examines how changes occur within the denomination, and who has influence within official structures.
“God Raised Me Up Friends”: Characteristics of Spiritual Friendship Among Early American Methodist Women
Authors: Munroe Amanda 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Combining primary and secondary sources, the author describes spiritual friendships among women as a characteristic of the Methodist movement in North America from the late eighteenth to late nineteenth centuries, suggesting that these bonds played a determinative role in the movement’s growth. The article demonstrates how distinguishing features of early American Methodism, including its social occasions (such as class, band, and society meetings, love feasts, events with guest preachers, and gatherings segregated by sex), spirituality of sanctification, and proactive social concern, were predominantly constituted by women’s participation and grew from invitations by and for women. These features likewise facilitated the development of women’s leadership as organizers within the movement, of which they have been and still are the predominant gender. The author contrasts the influential role of women in friendship as a determinative factor in the movement’s growth with the more familiar veneration of its prominent male itinerant preachers.
“The Protestants here are very particular: they used to be Methodists”: A Historical Reflection on French Methodism
Authors: Grosclaude Jérôme 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
This article traces the history of Methodism in France since its introduction in the 1780s. It was always a minority into the larger Protestant minority, probably hampered by its being intrinsically linked to British Methodism. In 1938, French Methodism merged into the Presbyterian Église réformée de France, leaving only a few communities which are today members of the U.S.-based UMC. This article will first present the birth and implantation of Methodism in France, then its consolidation and salient features before concluding on the enduring, albeit silent, influence of Methodism in French Protestantism since 1939.
The Autobiography of Bishop Wilhelm Wagner Orwig (1810–1889)
Authors: Morris Lawrence 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Bishop Wilhem Wagner Orwig (1810–1889) was an influential leader in the Evangelische Gemeinschaft / Evangelical Association. Orwig founded the Association’s publishing house and developed its newspaper, Der Christliche Botschafter, into an important Christian periodical. Orwig held several other important positions throughout his career, including Bishop, President of Union Seminary, and President of the Missionary Society. Orwig also engaged in theological disputation, and was a key defender of the doctrine of entire sanctification. Orwig authored or compiled over 13 volumes, including sermon collections and hymn books. During Orwig’s lifetime, the Evangelische Gemeinschaft experienced profound language change. Orwig wrote primarily in German, but, by the time of his death, the younger members could no longer understand German. This language change has left German-language American Methodism relatively unstudied. Orwig’s autobiography, translated here, offers a glimpse into the spiritual and practical world of the German-speaking Gemeinschaft.

BACKGROUND
Depression is a common, chronic, and recurrent mood disorder that has become a worldwide health hazard. Fluoxetine hydrochloride, a common treatment method, can inhibit 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) recycling in the presynaptic membrane; however, the efficacy of a single drug is inadequate. At present, mild-to-moderate depression can be treated with acupuncture of ghost caves, but the clinical curative effect of combined therapy with fluoxetine hydrochloride has not been sufficiently reported.
AIM
To evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture at ghost points combined with fluoxetine hydrochloride in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression.
METHODS
This retrospective study included 160 patients with mild-to-moderate depression who were admitted to Shanghai Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, between January 2022 and June 2023. Patients were separated into a single-agent group (fluoxetine hydrochloride treatment, n = 80) and a coalition group (fluoxetine hydrochloride treatment combined with acupuncture at ghost points, n = 80). Pre-treatment symptoms were recorded, and the clinical curative effect and adverse reactions [Asberg Antidepressant Side Effects Scale (SERS)] were assessed. Depression before and after treatment [Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)-24], neurotransmitter levels [5-HT, norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA)], oxidative stress indicators [superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA)], and sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)] were compared.
RESULTS
The total efficacy rate was 97.50% in the coalition group and 86.25% in the single-agent group (P < 0.05). After 2, 4, 6, and 8 wk of treatment, the HAMD, self-rating depression scale, and SERS scores of the coalition and single-agent groups decreased compared with pre-treatment, and the decrease was more significant in the coalition group (P < 0.05). After 8 wk of treatment, the levels of NE, DA, 5-HT, and SOD in the coalition and single-agent groups increased, while the levels of MDA decreased; the increases and decrease in the coalition group were more significant (P < 0.05). The PSQI scores of the coalition and single-agent groups decreased, and the decrease was more significant in the coalition group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Acupuncture at ghost points combined with paroxetine tablets can safely improve depressive symptoms and sleep disorders, regulate neurotransmitter levels, and reduce stress responses in patients with mild-to-moderate depression.
