The Impact of the Parameter Individualism — Collectivism on the Formation of Behavioral Characteristics in People of Various National Cultures
Authors: Khalil M. A.
Published: March 2024

Different theories of cross-cultural communication developed by researchers in the field of humanities including cultural anthropology, social psychology, cognitive science, etc., offer a variety of ways to classify national cultures. At the same time, many agree that there is a need for finding clear and measurable fundamental parameters underlying any national culture. The article substantiates the use of the parameter of individualism vs. collectivism, already tested in the framework of anthropology and philosophy of culture with regard to both Western and non-Western cultures, as an effective way for cultural comparison. The article aims to give an overview of various theories of cross-cultural interaction and their elements; to examine where they overlap or diverge; to look into the correlation between individualist/collectivist value orientations and behavior; and to study this parameter realization on a number of cases. The study is based on philosophical, anthropological, and cultural psychological theories, including the theory of guilt and shame cultures by R. Benedict, theory of self–presentations by R. Baumeister and D. Hutton, theory of personality’s self-construction by H. Marcus and S. Kitayama, as well as theory of cultural logics by A. Leung and D. Cohen. As an empirical confirmation of the above theoretical approaches, the article provides real-life examples, collected by the author. Literature was subject to categorical analysis. Empirical data was collected and analyzed using methods such as participant observation and discourse analysis. The comparative approach and hermeneutics techniques served as a general methodological prism. The study shows that, at least since the 1960s, specialists in the field of cultural studies have been increasingly discovering limitations and inconsistencies in theories that previously claimed to be universal: many of the models which originated in the West do not adequately represent non-Western cultures. The study proves the workability of the parameter of individualism vs. collectivism for interpretation of behavioral inconsistencies between people of different cultures. This parameter is compatible with a wide range of frameworks and shows a clear correlation between behavioral characteristics in different cultures and allows to interpret phenomena that were previously uninterpretable.

Published: March 2024

The article examines the relationship between soft power, nation branding, and educational and cultural cooperation within the framework of the Swedish Institute's policy of international cooperation to promote the country’s image abroad and strengthen the position of its reputational capital. The relevance of addressing this topic is due to the significance of the stated agenda, which, as our research has shown, influenced not only the development of cultural cooperation and academic exchanges, but also the features of building Sweden’s foreign policy image. Based on the analysis of the organization’s materials and data in reports from 2022–2023, the authors aimed to show the process of forming the priorities of the organization’s activities within the framework of the distribution of financial support and the focus of cultural and educational projects. To this end, the role and parameters of building a national brand are analyzed; changes in the topics of educational and cultural events and programs conducted by Sweden in the countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic region are considered; the dynamics of the processes of cultural exchange between Sweden and these countries are traced; the influence of the current political situation on the volume and measures of financial assistance to them is noted; and the perception of Sweden in Russia, Eastern European and Baltic countries is characterized. The study was based on the methods of comparative analysis, discourse analysis, and case study techniques. It was concluded that in implementing a diverse range of educational and cultural programs, the Swedish Institute adheres to the principle of regionalism, which allows the implementation of such projects, taking into account the interests and needs of both Sweden and partner countries. It was shown that when determining the parameters of national branding, the Swedish Institute relies on the approach of S. Anholt, clarifying it in a number of areas. According to the findings of the study, adaptation of relevant programs for the development of cooperation with partner countries, is aimed at integrating specific Swedish values into the cultural matrix of the host cultures. The global political situation strongly influences the realization of programs, thus causing the exclusion of such an important international partner as Russia. The study confirmed the initial thesis about the relatively slow accumulation of Sweden’s reputational capital, including in the process of the Swedish Institute’s work with ‘promising’ (in the current environment) countries, as well as with the countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic states. It is further concluded that the Swedish Institute is not only a key actor in the country's cultural and educational policy, as well as a powerful channel of soft power, but also an instrument for Sweden's positioning of itself as a moral superpower, which can be seen in many areas of its policies that go beyond fields of public diplomacy.

Management of World Biosphere Reserves in Vietnam: Case Study at Cu Lao Cham - Hoi An Biosphere Reserve
Authors: Quang Hoc Truong , Ngoc Thao Le , Thi Ngoc Ha Hoang
Published: March 2024

By 2024, Vietnam has 11 Biosphere Reserves recognized by UNESCO, ranking second in Southeast Asia in terms of the number of Biosphere Reserves. However, the reception and utilization of the Biosphere Reserve designation in provinces and at the national level remain passive. In addition to maintaining annual commemorative activities and developing 10-year periodic reports, key activities to fulfill the three basic functions of Biosphere Reserves, namely Conservation, Support, and Development—have not been adequately pursued by localities. The 10-year periodic assessment reports required by UNESCO are fairly well-implemented by Biosphere Reserves and localities. However, the recommendations from these reports have not been clearly proposed to promote strengths and limit weaknesses in the sustainable development of future Biosphere Reserves. The underlying cause of these limitations is that the evaluation of the effectiveness of management and coordination of Biosphere Reserves from national to local levels still adheres to administrative trends, and the scientific evidence supporting the evaluation process is not sufficiently clear. Therefore, recommendations from periodic reports still tend to be procedural and responsible for the Vietnamese government agencies as well as UNESCO. Particularly, these recommendations have not been legally institutionalized or institutionalized to leverage the Biosphere Reserve title in the comprehensive and sustainable development of localities with Biosphere Reserves. Based on this reality, the construction of a Framework to evaluate the effectiveness of management and coordination of Vietnam's Biosphere Reserves through 6 management contents including i) Context and current management status; ii) Development of a Management Plan for each Biosphere Reserve; iii) Mobilization of input resources for management; iv) Management process and coordination mechanism; v) Output products of the management process; and vi) Results/Impacts of the management process. Within these six basic contents, 22 corresponding indicators and 65 specific indicators have been developed to accurately describe the context, conditions, reception process, and management/coordination/operation of each Biosphere Reserve with the participation of government authorities, scientists, business forces, local communities, and stakeholders. Thus, the application of the Framework for effective management evaluation for Vietnam's Biosphere Reserves in the process of building mid-term 5-year and periodic 10-year reports as well as the operation process and leveraging the Biosphere Reserve status of localities and countries, will help provide an accurate and objective description of the landscape of Vietnam's 11 Biosphere Reserves.

The Horizontal Effect: Conceptualisation and Application of Constitutional Rights in Private Law
Authors: Dat Bui Tien , Nam Do Giang
Published: March 2024

Private law has traditionally followed a separate mindset of rights, which is not necessarily related to the constitution. With the rise of constitutionalism in the world, thinking about constitutionalism and fundamental rights has spilt over into private law. The constitutionalisation of private law (or the horizontal effect of constitutional rights on relations between private actors) is one of the important topics that attract scholarly attention around the world.

It can be seen that the modern history of the horizontal effect of constitutional rights has more than 60 years of development. However, in Vietnam, the topic of the effect of constitutional rights in private law has just been raised recently among legal scholars. This article serves as a development of the emerging discussion on the horizontal effect in Vietnam by providing a general conceptualisation and a brief history of the horizontal effect of constitutional rights in the world. The article also proposes the identification of horizontal effect paradigms in countries/jurisdictions and suggests implications of the horizontal effect for Vietnam.
General Dynamics for Single- and Dual-Axis Rotating Rigid Spacecraft Components
Authors: Vaz Carneiro João , Allard Cody , Schaub Hanspeter
Published: March 2024

Deriving and propagating a spacecraft’s equations of motion is fundamental to describing its behavior accurately. These equations of motion depend on the spacecraft’s configuration, which includes any physical subsystem such as attitude control devices, solar panels, gimbals, etc. Prior work introduced the backsubstitution method to yield a modular and scalable formulation to develop complex spacecraft dynamics specific to rotating components attached to a rigid hub as effectors. This paper relaxes assumptions made in deriving effector components in prior work, such as mass properties and frame definitions. This produces a general architecture that uses common equations of motion for physically equal parts. The result is an analytical solution of a set of general rotating effector equations of motion that greatly expand the configuration space of spacecraft that can be simulated with the backsubstitution method. In contrast to prior work where the rotations are highly constrained, rigid-body components can rotate about one or two general axes, and the component mass distribution can be general, no longer requiring the component’s principal axis to align with the center of mass or hinge axis. A numerical software solution demonstrates and verifies how these effectors can mimic a range of dynamic spacecraft components.
Autonomous Rapid Exploration in Close-Proximity of Asteroids
Authors: Negri R. B. , Prado Antônio F. B. A. , Chagas Ronan A. J. , Moraes Rodolpho V.
Published: March 2024

The increasing number of space missions may overwhelm ground support infrastructure, prompting the need for autonomous deep-space guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems. These systems offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions, particularly for asteroid missions that deal with uncertain environments. This study proposes a paradigm shift from the proposals currently found in the literature for autonomous asteroid exploration, which inherit the conservative architecture from the ground-in-the-loop approach that relies heavily on reducing uncertainties before close-proximity operations. Instead, it advocates for robust guidance and control to handle uncertainties directly, without extensive navigation campaigns. From a series of conservative assumptions, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of this autonomous GNC for robotic spacecraft by using existing technology. It is shown that a bolder operational approach enables autonomous spacecraft to significantly reduce exploration time by weeks or months. This paradigm shift holds great potential for reducing costs and saving time in autonomous missions of the future.

Authors: Vidot Guillaume , Gabreau Christophe , Ober Ileana , Ober Iulian
Published: March 2024

Advances in machine learning (ML) open the way to innovating functions in the avionic domain, such as navigation/surveillance assistance (e.g., vision-based navigation, obstacle sensing, virtual sensing), speech-to-text applications, autonomous flight, predictive maintenance, and cockpit assistance. Current standards and practices, which were defined and refined over decades with classical programming in mind, do not, however, support this new development paradigm. This paper provides an overview of the main challenges raised by the use of ML in the demonstration of compliance with regulatory requirements (i.e., software qualification) and an overview of literature relevant to these challenges, with particular focus on the issues of robustness, provability, and explainability of ML results.
Enhanced Aerodynamic Performance of a Two-Dimensional Airfoil Using Moving Boundaries
Authors: Fale Rushikesh , Mathur Manikandan , Govindarajan Bharath
Published: March 2024

The effects of moving boundary conditions on the aerodynamic performance of a two-dimensional NACA 0012 airfoil at different angles of attack ([Formula: see text]) in a uniform freestream at a Reynolds number of 10,000 are numerically studied. The moving boundary conditions are motivated by inviscid potential flow around the airfoil, which also satisfies the viscous equations of motion. In this study, the wall is moved at the slip velocity of the inviscid flow, or a fraction of it. These prescribed moving boundary conditions are shown to suppress vortex shedding, thus allowing the drag to go toward zero and the lift coefficient toward [Formula: see text] over a wide range of angles of attack ([Formula: see text]) even in the separated flow regime. It is shown that moving boundary conditions are effective over a wide range of their strengths with respect to the overall power required (required to overcome aerodynamic drag and move the airfoil boundary). This power is shown to attain a minimum near the inviscid flow moving boundary condition, which is around 10% or less of the power required for the stationary boundary condition. Finally, the effectiveness of the moving boundary conditions is demonstrated for fully turbulent flow regimes at [Formula: see text] million as well.
Coupled Dynamics of Steady Jet Flow Control for Flexible Membrane Wings
Authors: Li Guojun , Kumar Jaiman Rajeev , Liu Hongzhong
Published: March 2024

We present a steady jet-flow-based flow control of flexible membrane wings for the adaptive and efficient motion of bat-inspired drones in complex flight environments. A body-fitted variational computational aeroelastic framework is adopted for the modeling of fluid–structure interactions. High-momentum jet flows are injected from the leading edge and transported to the wake flows to alter the aerodynamic performance and the membrane vibration. The coupled dynamic effect of active jet flow control on membrane performance is systematically explored. While the results indicate that the current active flow control strategy performs well at low angles of attack, its effectiveness degrades at high angles of attack with large flow separation. To understand the coupling mechanism, the variations of the vortex patterns are examined by the proper orthogonal decomposition modes, and the fluid transport process is studied by the Lagrangian coherent structures. Two scaling relations that quantitatively connect the membrane deformation with the aerodynamic loads presented in our previous work are verified even when active jet flow control is applied. A unifying feedback loop that reveals the fluid–membrane coupling mechanism is proposed. These findings can facilitate the development of next-generation bio-inspired drones that incorporate smart sensing and intelligent control.

Authors: Forsyth Peter R. , Hambidge Chris , McGilvray Matthew
Published: March 2024

Although engineering correlations exist for the effects of small-scale roughness on heat transfer and shear stress, the complexity of flow physics for elements whose height exceeds the sonic line of hypersonic boundary layers is largely unknown. Additionally, the superposition of multiple scales of roughness in largely unexplored. This study investigates the heat transfer augmentation of two scales of patterned roughness, both individually and combined, where the large-scale roughness exceeds 20% of the boundary-layer height. These mimic technical roughnesses from the original experiments from Nikuradse low-speed experiments. The experiments were undertaken in a Ludwieg tunnel at a nominal Mach number of 5 and unit Reynolds number of [Formula: see text]. Determination of the Stanton numbers were performed by combining measurements of the freestream total temperatures with the measurement of the heat transfer from calorimeter and thin-film heat transfer gauges. Results indicate trends toward bulk heat transfer augmentation of order 20, 40, and 50% with increased [Formula: see text] for the small-, large-, and multiscale roughness patterns tested, respectively. For the large-scale roughness pattern investigated, significant heat transfer suppression was measured in the troughs between the elements; enhancement was measured to be substantial on the peaks, with notable difference distinguished between the spans and the intersections of the elements.

This study explored the relationship among socio-demographic factors, patients’ dietary adherence, and the Quality of Life (QoL) experienced by their caregivers. A cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 66 caregivers of pediatric patients in Malaysia diagnosed Amino Acid Metabolism Disorders (AAMDs). Dietary adherence was assessed using a modified version of the Malaysia Medication Adherence Assessment Tool (MyMAAT-12), and the caregiver’s QoL was evaluated using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF 36) questionnaire. Majority of the patients were Malay (75.76%), and female (59.1%). Statistical analysis found that caregivers with a higher education level were associated with a higher dietary adherence (rs (64)=0.382, p=0.002) and better mental health (rs (64)=0.281, p=0.022). The age of patients had negative significant correlation with the physical function and general health (rs (64)=0.287, p=0.019) of their caregivers. Besides that, dietary adherence was negatively correlated with social functioning (p=0.010), role limited due to physical health (p=0.018), role limited due to emotional problems (p=0.022), vitality (p=0.021), mental health (p=0.014) and pain (p=0.011). Conclusion: Dietary adherence had a significant impact on the QoL for caregivers of patients with amino acid metabolism disorders. Therefore, it is crucial to explore appropriate treatment strategies and provide support to enhance patients' adherence to their dietary requirements, simultaneously improving the caregivers' QoL.

Parents are the first educational factor in children, but what often happens to parents who are busy at work, assume that their children have received a good education, if their children have been enrolled in a quality or qualified institution. So that the obligations of parents in the world of children's education are all borne by the Islamic religious education teachers in the school. Yet when the child comes home from school, the child still needs education and supervision from the student's parents. As a result, if parents do not pay attention to Islamic religious education in their children. So Islamic religious education for these children is not optimal and can result in a lack of harmony between PAI teachers and students' parents in educating these children. So that what PAI teachers teach at school is not carried out properly at home because of the lack of supervision from students' parents. Therefore, the cooperative relationship between PAI teachers and students' parents in Islamic religious education in children is very important and interesting to discuss in this study. As for this study, the authors used a descriptive qualitative library research methodology in examining how the relationship of cooperation between PAI teachers and parents of students in Islamic religious education in children.

Authors: Ceylan Mehmet , Karlı Ünal
Published: March 2024

Emotions affect students' cognitive development and performance, their personality and character, and their psychological and physical health. As a type of emotion, achievement emotions are among the most common and functionally important emotions in modern education and modern society. Lack of studies relevant to achievement emotions in the field of physical education in our country made this study necessary to be conducted. Therefore, the study aimed to adapt the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire for Physical Education (AEQ-PE) developed by Fierro-Suero et al. (2020) into Turkish. Data were collected from 369 secondary school students. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), item-total correlation, Cronbach's Alpha, Spearman Brown, test-retest (n= 90) and measurement invariance analyses were conducted to measure the validity and reliability of the scale. As a result of CFA, goodness-of-fit and factor loading values were found to be at acceptable and good levels. Cronbach's Alpha values of the sub-factors of the scale ranged between .620 and .815. The Spearman Brown coefficient was .767 and the test-retest result was .91. The measurement invariance analysis showed that there was no difference between the male and female students. In addition, the scale dimensions under positive and negative emotions were confirmed by second-order factor analysis. As a result of the analyses, the scale was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool for the studies which will be conducted on Turkish population.

Published: March 2024

This article examines the state of land use and increasing its efficiency in agriculture of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Land use is one of the key factors in the efficiency of the agricultural sector, an integral part of its development; therefore, the development and application of new approaches to planning and forecasting the main indicators of agriculture are becoming relevant and in demand. A brief analysis reveals low agricultural development and an insufficient share of land suitable for agriculture in the northernmost region of the country. This emphasizes the urgency of the problem of increasing the efficiency of land use. The authors propose to use the developed economic and mathematical model, which takes into account various factors influencing the gross agricultural output of the region. Along with this, the article provides calculations for testing the developed equation. It can be useful in forecasting key agricultural indicators and in developing programs to support and develop agriculture at the municipal and regional levels.

Published: March 2024

تهدف هذه الدراسة تأثير معايير تصميم الأرصفة المتدنية على الجودة الجمالية للشوارع التجارية. لعبت الأرصفة، التي تمثل نماذجها الإنشاءات الرومانية، دورًا تاريخيًا مهمًا في البنية التحتية للمدن، حيث تعزز سلامة المشاة والتفاعل الاجتماعي. تركز الدراسة على شارع 40 في مدينة الحلة، وتفحص كيف تساهم معايير التصميم غير الملائمة في التدهور الجمالي. تناولت الدراسات السابقة قضية التلوث البصري في البيئات الحضرية، لكن القليل منها تناول الأرصفة على وجه التحديد. تسد هذه الدراسة هذه الفجوة من خلال تحليل معايير التصميم في شارع 40. تكشف النتائج أن تصميم الأرصفة الحالي لا يرقى إلى مستوى المعايير المطلوبة. يساهم عدم تناسق العرض، واختلافات مواد التشطيب، وعدم مراعاة ارتفاع المباني بالنسبة إلى مستوى الرصيف، في تقليل التجربة الجمالية. علاوة على ذلك، تخدم الأرصفة وظائف تتجاوز استخدام المشاة، حيث تستوعب الإعلانات وعرض البضائع، مما يزيد من الحاجة إلى تحسين التصميم. تختتم الدراسة باقتراح توصيات لتعزيز جماليات الأرصفة، بما في ذلك ضمان عرض مناسب، والحفاظ على تناسق التصميم، وحجز الأرصفة للمشاة والأثاثات المخصصة، وتنفيذ تباين الألوان لتحسين حركة مرور المشاة.

Since the 1960’s, Truku people, one of the Austronesian groups in Taiwan, have suffered from loss of lands, arising from various governmental policies, privatization of land ownership, and implications of the modern legal system. This paper is to look at how the emergence of the privatization has significantly produced and reproduced various kinds of the gender tensions arising from the conflicts of the women’s land ownership in Truku society. The privatization of the land ownership and the introduction of the modern legal system is argued to have created two unique concepts of land rights: men’s and women’s land in the contemporary Truku society. The former is based on the discourse of the Truku tradition interpreted and represented by the men; but the later one is relied on the legal protection from the modern law for the women and their contributions to farming and taking care of their parents’ lands. Furthermore, the different perspectives of whether or not women customarily or legally have land ownership have profoundly influenced on the social interactions among households in people’s daily lives as well as on the strategies of the land reclamation movements in Truku society.

For more than a century, physicians have noted the relationship of chronic gastritis with the development of gastric cancer, which prompted great interest in the study and systematization of chronic gastritis in order to better understand the prognosis and develop approaches for cancer prevention. The accumulated knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis and morphology of gastritis has made it possible to coordinate the general ideas about gastritis in the classifications used by practicing physicians today, and the systems developed and implemented into practice for assessing atrophy/intestinal metaplasia (OLGA/OLGIM) undoubtedly can help the doctor in determining the tactics of curation of the patient.
About the choice of the path of development of domestic clinical medicine at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries and once again about the founders of scientific therapy in Russia. A.A. Ostroumov and V.P. Obraztsov

Based on the analysis of literary and archival sources, the authors revise the generally accepted position about three founders of the scientific therapeutic clinic in Russia and propose to consider it to be founded by four outstanding clinicians of the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries – S.P. Botkin (Petersburg), G.A. Zakharyin and A.A. Ostroumov (Moscow) and V.P. Obraztsov (Kyiv).

Background. Despite active research, drug treatment options for metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are limited, and there are no currently approved drugs for patients with MAFLD. Treatment of patients at risk of developing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and progressive liver fibrosis (LF) is of particular relevance, since they determine the clinical outcomes of the disease.
Aim. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of complex polypeptide drug (CPD), human placenta hydrolyzate, containing low molecular weight regulatory peptides, amino acids, vitamins, macro- and microelements in patients with MAFLD at the LF stage.
Materials and methods. A single-center, placebo-controlled pilot study. Patients with MAFLD at LF stage 1≤F≤3 according to METAVIR were included (n=10, of which 8 were women, median age was 55 years old). Patients were randomized into 2 groups: 5 people received CPD therapy for 12 weeks (intravenous infusion of 6 ml 2 times a week); another 5 people initially received placebo x 2 times a week (12 weeks), with transfer to the open phase for CPD therapy in the same regimen. The dynamics laboratory and instrumental data was assessed, as well as determine the presence of fibrosis by non-invasive tests – measurement of liver stiffness by transient elastography and use of serum biomarker (SM) by FibroTest and detection of steatosis with controlled attenuation parameter for transient elastography and SM by SteatoTest. The quality of life of patients was assessed using questionnaire SF-36 and well-being via Visual Analogue Scale. Statistical processing of the material was carried out using the methods of nonparametric analysis, using the Statistica 13.3 software.
Results. Patients in the CPD group compared with the baseline data and with the placebo group showed a statistically significant improvement: 1) transaminases (ALT, AST), lipid profile indicators (cholesterol), ferritin; 2) indicators of LF, based on a decrease in liver stiffness by transient elastography and SM of Fibrotest, as well as the degree of steatosis based on controlled attenuation parameter and SM of Steatotest; 3) in well-being and quality of life (according to testing: SF-36 physical, mental well-being and general condition of the VAS). CPD was well tolerated, no side effects were noted.
Conclusion. In patients with MAFLD during CPD therapy, a decrease in the level of liver enzymes was noted, as well as in LF and liver steatosis according to noninvasive methods. Randomized controlled trials are required to confirm these findings.
Fixed combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and muscle relaxant as the basis for rational therapy of pain syndromes: A review
Authors: Putilina Marina V.
Published: March 2024

The incidence of pain in the lower back ranges from 10% to 25% of all cases of algia. 37–64.7% of the world's population have muscle spasms of varying severity during an exacerbation of pain. The problem of pain therapy is far from being solved. Achieving greater or equal pain relief can be achieved through combination drug therapy, where drugs have different mechanisms of action or combine pharmacokinetic properties to produce a synergistic effect. Fixed combinations of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a muscle relaxant (chlorzoxazone 500 mg and ibuprofen 400 mg) are the basis of rational therapy, allowing them to achieve a number of clinical and pharmacological advantages.
New possibilities of antiarrhythmic therapy of atrial fibrillation: A review
Authors: Tarzimanova Aida I. , Isaeva Alena Iu.
Published: March 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder. According to current recommendations, the treatment of AF includes 3 main directions: "A" – the appointment of anticoagulant therapy with an increased risk of thromboembolic complications, "B" – control of arrhythmia symptoms, choice of a strategy for rhythm control or control of ventricular contractions, "C" – treatment of concomitant diseases and correction of risk factors. The rhythm control strategy includes performing cardioversion, prescribing long-term antiarrhythmic therapy, or performing radiofrequency catheter ablation. According to the latest recommendations of 2020, antiarrhythmic drugs of IC and III classes are currently used for pharmacological cardioversion of AF and long-term retention of sinus rhythm. The choice of a specific antiarrhythmic drug is based on its safety and effectiveness. â-Blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers and digoxin are used to control CHS. The results of modern research have significantly expanded our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying various forms of AF. Currently, the search for new drugs is actively underway that will allow preventing the development of AF and its progression at the molecular level.
