Federacja Rosyjska wobec problemu afgańskiego w okresie 2014–2021
Authors: Kardaś Jarosław
Published: May 2024

Sytuacja wewnętrzna w Afganistanie stanowiła niezwykle ważny punkt odniesienia dla rosyjskiej polityki zagranicznej w XXI w. Rosja od wielu lat uważnie obserwuje wszystko to, co ma miejsce w tym państwie, bowiem procesy zachodzące w Afganistanie mocno wpływają na region Azji Centralnej, a ten, przez władze na Kremlu, jest uznawany za własną strefę wpływów. Na potrzeby niniejszego artykułu została stworzona hipoteza badawcza, zakładająca, że dla Moskwy, przejęcie władzy przez talibów w Afganistanie, jest szansą na zwiększenie swoich wpływów w tym rejonie Azji, ponieważ konsekwentnie od 2014 r. Rosja prowadziła politykę wspierania tej ekstremistycznej grupy. W tekście wykorzystano metodę instytucjonalno-prawną (przy określeniu problemu afgańskiego w dokumencie strategicznym, jakim jest Koncepcja polityki zagranicznej Federacji Rosyjskiej z 2016 r.), a także metodę decyzyjną (przy charakterystyce działań, jakie podejmowane były przez rosyjskie władze wobec talibów w okresie 2014–2021).

Authors: Pachucki-Włosek Krystian
Published: May 2024

Przedmiotem badań poniższego artykułu są kontakty w sferze politycznej i ekonomicznej pomiędzy Uzbekistanem i Afganistanem po przejęciu władzy przez talibów. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu znalezienie odpowiedzi na następujące pytanie badawcze: jaka jest dynamika relacji ekonomicznych i politycznych między Taszkentem i Kabulem po 2021 roku? W celu udzielenia odpowiedzi na powyższe pytanie należy przeanalizować szereg wydarzeń z lat 2021–2023 w kontekście próby pokojowego współistnienia. Powyższe rozważania pozwalają na postawienie pobocznego pytania badawczego, w jaki sposób doszło do ukształtowania się wzorca współpracy między Talibami a władzami w Taszkencie? Nieodzownym elementem w tym aspekcie będzie uwzględnienie braku przynależności Uzbekistanu do jakiegokolwiek bloku militarnego, czy polityki wielowektorowej, objawiającej się gotowością współpracy z wszystkimi zainteresowanymi bez względu na wcześniejsze animozje. Przewodni wniosek głosi, że utrzymanie dynamiki relacji ekonomiczno-politycznych pomiędzy Taszkentem i Kabulem spowodowane jest chęcią ochrony interesu narodowego Republiki Uzbekistanu.

Authors: Düzyol Türk Endam , Yıldırım Günseli
Published: May 2024

The aim in this study was to adapt the Parent and Teacher Form of the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool, developed by Ravitch (2013) to measure the resilience of preschool children, into Turkish and to test its validity and reliability. The validity and reliability of the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool were tested with 335 children observed by their parents and 276 children observed by their teachers, selected by random sampling from the population. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the software package LISREL v. 8.80. The analysis confirmed the three-factor structure of the scale. When the coherence indices of the scale were examined, it was seen that model data coherence was achieved. The internal consistency coefficient for the Self-Regulation/Social Competence subdimension was .86, for the Understanding/Expressing Emotions subdimension was .83, and for the Empathy/Responsibility subdimension was .83. The scale form consisting of three dimensions and 27 items was designed as a four-point Likert type. Based on the analyses performed, the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool is a valid and reliable measurement tool within the scope of parent and teacher evaluations of 60- to 72-month-old Turkish children with its three-dimensional and 27-item structure.

Published: May 2024

A silica/aminated kaolin (SiO2@AK) composite was prepared by modifying kaolin and loading silica, using intercalation complex method and sol–gel method. Quantitative composites were dispersed in epoxy resin to obtain a silica/aminated kaolin/epoxy resin composite coating (SiO2@AK/EP) on stainless steel. The results showed that the thickness of the dry coating was approximately 110 ± 10 μm, and the surface was flat without evident agglomeration. As the SiO2@AK composite was introduced, the water contact angle increased from 40° to 88°, the average surface roughness of the prepared composite coating was reduced from 10.3 nm to 3.19 nm, and the corrosion current decreased by nearly three orders of magnitude. After the coating was soaked in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 30 days, the impedance modulus of the composite coating remained above 2.511 × 109 Ω cm2, reflecting that the introduction of the composite could effectively improve the anticorrosion property of the epoxy resin.

The determination of suitable habitats and roadkill hotspots allows for the prioritization of areas of conservation and the identification of road sections that require appropriate planning and development. Understanding the factors that influence the species’ presence and those contributing to its road-related fatalities is crucial. This study demonstrates the use of MaxEnt modeling to map the potential distribution of the striped hyaena (Hyaena hyaena) in Batna province (East Algeria) using occurrence records and a set of environmental variables. The results indicated that the two primary environmental variables that influence the distribution of the species are the shrubland, and the slope with a contribution of 37.5 and 30.2 %, respectively, followed by built-up areas (12 %) and distance to roads (7.2 %). The species may occupy steep terrain with shrubland near anthropized areas. Road collisions represent a threat to the species, with 28 documented casualties from 2010 to 2020 in Batna. The kernel density estimation revealed an important roadkill hotspot along the national roads 3 and 28. This study represents a preliminary step for the use of wildlife ecological niche modeling and road management in Algeria.
Casimir interaction driven by hyperbolic polaritons
Authors: Hu Yang , Wu Xiaohu , Liu Haotuo , Huang Xiuquan
Published: May 2024

Casimir interaction is an intriguing phenomenon that is induced by electromagnetic quantum fluctuations, which dominates the interaction between microstructures at small separations and is essential for micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). However, Casimir interaction driven by hyperbolic polaritons remains an unexplored frontier. In this work, we investigate the Casimir interaction between natural hyperbolic material hexagonal boron nitride from the perspective of force distribution with different optical axis orientations for the first time. The attractive Casimir force is remarkably enhanced due to the excitation of volume-confined hyperbolic polaritons (HPs). Furthermore, distinct repulsive contributions to the force are observed due to surface-confined HPs that only exist when the optical axis is in-plane. The HPs are associated with a striking thickness dependence of spectral force properties, suggesting that the discrete volume-confined HPs lead to the attractive-repulsive transition of Casimir force. This work sheds light on the relation between HPs and the vacuum fluctuation-induced force, which could offer new opportunities for the development of the MEMS and NEMS.

Published: May 2024

Globally, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has become a pressing issue as the demand for crude oil continues to increase. This study investigates the flow and thermal-fluid–solid coupling of crude oil in a rod pump during hot water recovery and obtains the maximum recovery of crude oil in a vertical pipeline through numerical analysis. The pressure gradient in the pump barrel was first developed and deduced based on the ideal gas state equation and Bernoulli’s equation. According to the rheological experiment results, it was proven that the light crude oil conforms to the Newtonian constitutive equation. Subsequently, the momentum equation of crude oil flowing in the pipeline and fluid–solid coupling heat transfer equations were established and solved using the finite difference method. The effects of the thermal recovery temperature T

w
, wall thickness c, and stroke time n of the rod pump on flow Q are discussed. In particular, the flow Q within 1 min first increases and then slows down with the increase in stroke time n and reaches its maximum value at n = 7 r/min. Furthermore, flow Q decreases with an increase in c but increases as T

w
increases; c = 1.2 cm, T

w

Learning to Choose: Behavioral Dynamics Underlying the Initial Acquisition of Decision-Making
Authors: White Samantha R. , Preston Michael W. , Swanson Kyra , Laubach Mark
Published: May 2024

Current theories of decision-making propose that decisions arise through competition between choice options. Computational models of the decision process estimate how quickly information about choice options is integrated and how much information is needed to trigger a choice. Experiments using this approach typically report data from well-trained participants. As such, we do not know how the decision process evolves as a decision-making task is learned for the first time. To address this gap, we used a behavioral design separating learning the value of choice options from learning to make choices. We trained male rats to respond to single visual stimuli with different reward values. Then, we trained them to make choices between pairs of stimuli. Initially, the rats responded more slowly when presented with choices. However, as they gained experience in making choices, this slowing reduced. Response slowing on choice trials persisted throughout the testing period. We found that it was specifically associated with increased exponential variability when the rats chose the higher value stimulus. Additionally, our analysis using drift diffusion modeling revealed that the rats required less information to make choices over time. These reductions in the decision threshold occurred after just a single session of choice learning. These findings provide new insights into the learning process of decision-making tasks. They suggest that the value of choice options and the ability to make choices are learned separately and that experience plays a crucial role in improving decision-making performance.

Understanding the function of the human brain requires determining basic properties of synaptic transmission in human neurons. One of the most fundamental parameters controlling neurotransmitter release is the presynaptic action potential, but its amplitude and duration remain controversial. Presynaptic action potentials have so far been measured with high temporal resolution only in a limited number of vertebrate but not in human neurons. To uncover properties of human presynaptic action potentials, we exploited recently developed tools to generate human glutamatergic neurons by transient expression of Neurogenin 2 (Ngn2) in pluripotent stem cells. During maturation for 3 to 9 weeks of culturing in different established media, the proportion of cells with multiple axon initial segments decreased, while the amount of axonal tau protein and neuronal excitability increased. Super-resolution microscopy revealed the alignment of the pre- and postsynaptic proteins, Bassoon and Homer. Synaptic transmission was surprisingly reliable at frequencies of 20, 50, and 100 Hz. The synchronicity of synaptic transmission during high-frequency transmission increased during 9 weeks of neuronal maturation. To analyze the mechanisms of synchronous high-frequency glutamate release, we developed direct presynaptic patch-clamp recordings from human neurons. The presynaptic action potentials had large overshoots to ~25 mV and short durations of ~0.5 ms. Our findings show that Ngn2-induced neurons represent an elegant model system allowing for functional, structural, and molecular analyses of glutamatergic synaptic transmission with high spatiotemporal resolution in human neurons. Furthermore, our data predict that glutamatergic transmission is mediated by large and rapid presynaptic action potentials in the human brain.

Central Arctic properties and processes are important to the regional and global coupled climate system. The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Distributed Network (DN) of autonomous ice-tethered systems aimed to bridge gaps in our understanding of temporal and spatial scales, in particular with respect to the resolution of Earth system models. By characterizing variability around local measurements made at a Central Observatory, the DN covers both the coupled system interactions involving the ocean-ice-atmosphere interfaces as well as three-dimensional processes in the ocean, sea ice, and atmosphere. The more than 200 autonomous instruments (“buoys”) were of varying complexity and set up at different sites mostly within 50 km of the Central Observatory. During an exemplary midwinter month, the DN observations captured the spatial variability of atmospheric processes on sub-monthly time scales, but less so for monthly means. They show significant variability in snow depth and ice thickness, and provide a temporally and spatially resolved characterization of ice motion and deformation, showing coherency at the DN scale but less at smaller spatial scales. Ocean data show the background gradient across the DN as well as spatially dependent time variability due to local mixed layer sub-mesoscale and mesoscale processes, influenced by a variable ice cover. The second case (May–June 2020) illustrates the utility of the DN during the absence of manually obtained data by providing continuity of physical and biological observations during this key transitional period. We show examples of synergies between the extensive MOSAiC remote sensing observations and numerical modeling, such as estimating the skill of ice drift forecasts and evaluating coupled system modeling. The MOSAiC DN has been proven to enable analysis of local to mesoscale processes in the coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean system and has the potential to improve model parameterizations of important, unresolved processes in the future.

The reflection, absorption, and transmittance of shortwave solar radiation by sea ice play crucial roles in physical and biological processes in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean and atmosphere. These sea-ice optical properties, particularly during the melt season, significantly impact energy fluxes within and the total energy budget of the coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean system. We analyzed data from autonomous drifting stations to investigate the seasonal evolution of the spectral albedo, transmittance, and absorptivity for different sea-ice, snow, and surface conditions measured during the MOSAiC expedition in 2019–2020. The spatial variability of these properties was small during spring and increased strongly after melt onset on May 26, 2020, when liquid water content on the surface increased, largely accounting for the enhanced variability. The temporal evolution of surface albedo and sea-ice transmittance was mostly event-driven, thus containing episodic elements. Melt ponds reduced the local surface albedo by 31%–45%. Over the melting season, single ponding events increased the energy deposition of the sea ice by 35% compared to adjacent bare ice. Thus, single melt ponds may impact the summer energy budget as much as seasonal evolution over 1 month. Absorptivity and transmittance showed strong temporal and spatial variabilities independently of surface conditions, possibly due to the different internal sea-ice properties and under-ice biological processes. The differences in seasonal evolution shown for different sea-ice conditions strongly impacted the partitioning of shortwave solar radiation. This study shows that the formation and development of melt ponds, in reducing albedo by a third of bare ice sites, can notably increase the total summer heat deposition. The vastly different seasonal evolutions, different sea-ice conditions, and timing and duration of ponding events need to be considered when comparing local in-situ observations with large-scale satellite remote sensing datasets, which we suggest can help to improve numerical models.

Published: May 2024

The fundamental models underlying hormonal physiological regulation and homeostasis remain poorly understood. We aimed to derive quantitative evidence regarding these models from the study of population data of balance points of different parameters and their respective controlling hormones. We studied the slopes of correlations between concentrations of circulating free thyroxine and thyrotropin, calcium and parathyroid hormone, hemoglobin and erythropoietin, and glucose and insulin in such population data, as well as the slopes of the limbs of various feedback loops estimated empirically and by reverse engineering of the population data. We used computer simulations to model the factors that influence the slopes derived from the population data, and then matched these simulations with the empirically derived slopes. Our simulations showed that changes to the population distribution of feedback loop limbs may alter the slopes of correlations within population data in specific ways. Non-random (interdependent) associations of the limbs of feedback loops may also have this effect, as well as producing discrepancies between the slopes of feedback limb loops determined experimentally and the same slopes determined by derivation from population data. Our corresponding empirical findings were consistent with the presence of such interdependence in the free thyroxine/thyrotropin, hemoglobin/erythropoietin, and glucose/insulin systems. The glucose/insulin data provided evidence consistent with increasing interdependence with age in childhood. Our findings therefore provide strong evidence that the interdependence of the limbs of feedback loops is a general feature of endocrine homeostatic regulation. This interdependence potentially bestows evolutionary homeostatic and regulatory advantages.
A Conceptual Approach on Disaster Response Management and The Legality of Disaster Response: A Case Study of February 6 Kahramanmaras Earthquakes in Türkiye and Presidential Decrees Under the State of Emergency

Published: May 2024

This article aims to critically analyze the legal and democratic framework of disaster response within the context of the Republic of Türkiye Presidential Decrees (PDs) issued during the state of emergency (SOE) declared following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaras on February 6th. This research analyzed the PDs issued during the SOE in ten provinces using content analysis techniques The published PDs’ have been analyzed by dividing them into three groups: operational, organizational, and psychological response, and thus a conceptual approach to disaster response management has been put forward. It is concluded that actively pursuing legal remedies during disaster response enhances the effectiveness of interventions and provides a valid, democratic, and legal basis for processes, thereby optimizing disaster response and crisis management. As such, the article pointed out that the proactive policy in disaster intervention strategy during the Kahramanmaras Earthquakes offered valuable lessons for handling future disasters.

To Write a Crime, or How to Tell a “Criminal Offence” from a “Regular Offence” (Volhynia in the Last 3rd of the 16th – the Early 17th Century)
Authors: Starchenko Natalia
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the rhetoric of Volhynian court records based on accusations of criminal offences. The focus is on how these sources were constructed by the interested parties, and on how the szlachta culture of violence affected this process. The author explores the arguments that the noblemen presented to reclassify criminal offences as “regular offences.” Concomitantly, she analyzes the performativity of trials as the public stage where the values treasured by the community were articulated, debated and relayed to the interested parties. This constructed “reality” formed the vision of the norm and possible life strategies of noblemen. Circulating in the court and the community, it affected the proceedings of trials and the actors’ actions outside courtroom, for example, by forcing the accused whose honor was insulted by the accusations to react according to the conventions accepted by the community. In the culture where any offence, be it real or imagined, demanded defending one’s honor, a trial was just a part of a conflict and its resolution.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To evaluate the follow-up of pregnancy in patients with caesarean deliveries, the time taken to perform the procedure and the postoperative prognosis. Material and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study conducted over a period of two years at the Maternity Hospital of the health district. Data were collected from clinical records, delivery room and operating theatre registers. The variables studied were the epidemiological characteristics of the patients, the follow-up of the pregnancy, the indications for caesarean section and the maternal and neonatal outcome. The data were entered and analysed using SPHINX software. Results: During this period we performed 274 caesarean sections out of a total number of 7025 deliveries, i.e. a caesarean section rate of 3.9%. The epidemiological profile of the patients was that of a young woman, with an average age of 27.4 years. The majority were married (98.1%). The socio-economic level was low (97.8%) and they were primiparous (33.2%). As regards pregnancy follow-up, 34.3%) had had 3 antenatal consultations and 31.7% had had 4 antenatal consultations. Hypertension was observed in 25.9% of pregnancies. The standard blood test was performed in 25.2% of patients. For obstetrical ultrasound, 52.2% of patients had undergone at least one ultrasound examination. The majority of patients (80%) had their first caesarean section and 14% had their second. These were emergency caesareans in 82.1%. They were mandatory indications in 49%, of prudence in 30% and of necessity in 21%. The extraction time was less than 30 minutes in 41 cases and between 30 and 60 minutes in 132 cases. Post-operative complications were dominated by vasculo-renal syndromes. Perinatal mortality was 28.6‰. The contraceptive rate after caesarean section was 98.1% during this period. Conclusion: The management of deliveries in rural areas is often difficult, prenatal consultations are often of poor quality, the management of caesarean sections performed with rather long delays.
SPACECRAFT RELATIVE ON-OFF CONTROL VIA REINFORCEMEN T LEARNING
Authors:   Institute of Technical Mechanics of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine and the State Space Agency of Ukraine, KHOROSHYLOV S. V. , WANG C.
Published: May 2024

The article investigates the task of spacecraft relative control using reactive actuators, the output of which has two states, “on” or “off”. For cases where the resolution of the thrusters does not provide an accurate approximation of linear control laws using a pulse-width thrust modulator, the possibility of applying reinforcement learning methods for direct finding of control laws that map the state vector and the on-off thruster commands has been investigated. To implement such an approach, a model of controlled relative motion of two satellites in the form of a Markov decision process was obtained. The intelligent agent is presented in the form of “actor” and “critic” neural networks, and the architecture of these modules is defined. It is proposed to use a cost function with variable weights of control actions, which allows for optimizing the number of thruster firings explicitly. To improve the control performance, it is proposed to use an extended input vector for the “actor” and “critic” neural networks of the intelligent agent, which, in addition to the state vector, also includes information about the control action on the previous control step and the control step number. To reduce the training time, the agent was pre-trained on the data obtained using conventional control algorithms. Numerical results demonstrate that the reinforcement learning methodology allows the agent to outperform the results provided by the linear controller with the pulse-width modulator in terms of control accuracy, response time, and number of thruster firings.
‘Even (if) I choose the right answer, that goes wrong’: Three refugee-background students negotiating academic literacy challenges in a US research university
Authors: Kafle Madhav
Published: May 2024

While studies on second language academic discourse socialization are increasing, how less academically prepared undergraduate multilingual students, such as RBSs, negotiate literacy challenges across the curriculum is still under-researched. As part of a larger qualitative study, which explored how three Bhutanese/Nepali youths negotiated the discursive, interactional, material and perceptual challenges they faced across their undergraduate curriculum in a US university, this article focuses on assessment-related textual challenges across the curriculum in a research university. Initiated as a teacher research-based study in an undergraduate ESL writing class, this longitudinal multiple-case study followed three RBSs for five years during their undergraduate study. While all three participants persistently struggled throughout their degree in various academic literacy events, they managed to graduate within five years because of various kinds of support they received. While there was no formal support tailored to RBSs at the university, this article illustrates how some literacy sponsors were able to create informal support mechanisms for these students. It also highlights how the most common literacy support at the university – that is, teaching of essayist literacies, was inadequate for preparing RBSs well in successfully negotiating academic literacy challenges.
El reformismo que no pudo ser. La rehabilitación del reinado de Carlos III en los márgenes del liberalismo moderado (1815-1845)
Authors: Calderón-Argelich Alfonso
Published: May 2024

En la cultura histórica de la primera generación de liberales españoles, las referencias a la Edad Media permitieron legitimar sus propuestas constitucionales. Esto implicó un desprecio del reformismo borbónico del siglo XVIII, al identificarse con el despotismo ministerial y el afrancesamiento de la nación. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la década de 1830 esta percepción se fue transformando, hacia una mirada que veía el reinado de Carlos III como el de una regeneración interrumpida. Los escritos de Andrés Muriel y otros autores permiten estudiar los diversos horizontes de expectativa que se podían visualizar al invocar este reinado. La visión positiva del reformismo borbónico aparece como el correlato del cambio de rumbo de las expectativas revolucionarias.
La subida de dietas de los diputados y sus consecuencias políticas al final de la Restauración (1920-1922)
Authors: Domínguez-García Concepción-María
Published: May 2024

El sábado 22 de julio de 1922 los principales periódicos publicaron la noticia de la subida de las dietas de los diputados del Congreso a mil pesetas, que se produjo durante las sesiones de la Cámara del 20 y 21 de julio de 1922. En este artículo se recoge el debate del mencionado incremento de las dietas de los diputados de 500 a 1000 pesetas, los argumentos que se esgrimieron, la postura de los diferentes grupos parlamentarios, el impacto en la prensa a nivel nacional y, finalmente, las protestas que llegaron al propio Congreso de diferentes instancias sociales y políticas. Se concluye que la subida contribuyó al desgaste del parlamentarismo ante la opinión pública, que provocó la definitiva crisis del sistema de la Restauración que conduciría a la Dictadura del general Miguel Primo de Rivera.

To achieve the desired goal, the author used the methods of analysis (isolation of individual parts of the object of research), synthesis (combination of various elements into a single one), comparison (identification of similarities and differences), problem solving (posing difficult questions and finding answers to them), objectivity (impartiality in the selection and analysis of various sources), generalization (highlighting of common characteristics and features). The results. The study established that the "one-time (special) voluntary declaration" combines features of "tax amnesty", "capital amnesty" and "zero declaration". The law itself, in some of its parts, is imperfect and contains norms that violate the principles of equality and social justice. Only 845 people used the right to submit a declaration while the law was in effect. The scientific novelty consists of the analysis of de-shadowing of incomes and replenishment of the state budget (only about 1.5% of the expected revenues were received). At the same time, the author is convinced that there is no need to talk about a "complete failure of declaration". After all, the law is written in such a way that although the majority of citizens did not submit a special declaration, the "composition and volume of assets" as of 1 March 2023 has already been declared, regardless of whether they were acquired with violations or not - in fact, Ukraine implemented "zero declaration" for all citizens. "Zero declaration" sooner or later will become a kind of reference point and in the future will be taken into account by tax authorities during financial monitoring, which should result in taxation of expenses that exceed official income and, possibly, the appearance of misunderstandings between taxpayers and tax authorities. Practical significance. The research contributes to the identification of taxation problems, individual results and conclusions that can be used in the process of further reforming tax legislation and conducting fiscal policy.

Purpose. Analysis of modern approaches to defining the essence of financial intermediaries, highlighting their main functions and classifications. Methodology. The research is based on dialectics as a scientific and philosophical method of cognition, a systemic approach and an analytical method. When conducting the research, the methods of comparative analysis, system-structural, generalization, economic-statistical, abstract-logical, monographic, methods of analysis and synthesis were used. Results. Modern approaches to defining the essence of financial intermediation and its role in the financial market have been studied. It was determined that financial institutions that, in the course of their professional activity, either accumulate temporarily free funds of economic entities and use them to satisfy the demand for financial services of financial market participants, or provide services to the financial market, should be related to financial intermediaries. The views of modern scientists on the role of financial intermediaries are summarized. Among the main functions, the following are highlighted: redistribution and reduction of risks; provision of alternative ways of financing economic activities and consumer needs of citizens; accumulation of funds of business entities; achievement of effective investments by market participants; ensuring effective redistribution of capital: promoting the development of the financial market and its infrastructure; management of payment systems. Approaches to modern classification of financial intermediaries are considered.Attention is focused on the classification of financial intermediaries, according to the bank-oriented model of financial mediation in force in Ukraine. Practical significance. The results of the research consist in the possibility of practical use of the obtained conclusions to improve the activities of financial intermediaries in the financial market of Ukraine.
