PERLINDUNGAN KONSUMEN PEMINJAMAN DANA SECARA ONLINE PADA PERUSAHAAN FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Putra Pratama Bisma , Sembiring Susanti
Published: February 2023

Financial technology (fintech)-based companies are currently growing rapidly in Indonesia. Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection states that the terms of the agreement must be in line with the legal requirements of the agreement as regulated in Article 1320 BW in the reality of online-based (fintech) agreements. However, at the practical level, there is a standard clause containing an exoneration clause in the fintech agreement that has the potential to harm consumers. For this reason, the researcher raises the problem in this study, namely how to implement and/or violate Article 18 Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and whether the online agreement violates the provisions of Article 18 of Law Number 8 concerning Consumer Protection. The writing method of this research uses normative legal research, and uses a statutory approach, namely UUPK. The standard clause agreement can be seen in the electronic data-based loan agreement (fintech). In this case, it was made by the fintech business actor. And consumers/customers as the other party are harmed. Therefore, it is necessary to enforce consumer rights. The standard clause is actually allowed by the UUPK on the condition that it cannot include what is regulated in the UUPK. And a form of legal protection for consumers is that consumers can complain about the actions of business actors to the authorized institution, namely the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and business actors are subject to sanctions in the form of removing online-based media on the Google Play Store platform.

Authors: Brink Tove , Sørensen Henrik B. , Neville Mette
Published: February 2023

The research shed light on how Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Board of Directors (BOD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) strategize digital transformation for value creation. The research is based on participative action research (PAR) conducted with 20 SME Chairman of the BODs and CEOs during 2018-2019 to reveal their aim for frontiers in digital transformation. The findings show that SMEs strategize digital transformation for value creation along different paths depending on SME business process context. However, the essential frontier for SME BOD and CEO is found in the horizontal combination of frontend face-to-face & digital products/service processes with backend face-to-face & digital system platform processes to reach for collaboration with external network actors. Digital and face-to-face processes are perceived as interwoven for value creation. The SME BOD and CEO aim for new frontiers to integrate horizontal leadership through strategizing organizational- and network development processes to create value across ecosystems. This goes beyond hitherto literature- and practice understanding of digital transformation as a top-down process emphasizing the coordination role of senior management in the SME. A new frontier for horizontal leadership to organize digital transformation is hereby empirically revealed.

Authors: Zhang Na , Jin Chunhua , Bu Xing , Gilal Faheem Gul
Published: February 2023

After the boom in luxury brands’ consumption, the consumers’ motivation to buy these brands has gained the interest of researchers in the marketing field. We organized the present study using the grounded theory approach to obtain insight into the motivations behind luxury consumption through interviews with 12 individuals. We used these data to propose a model of motivations behind luxury consumption, which constitutes three categories, i.e., relatedness (conformity of evolutionary psychology and the influence on formal social activities), competence (social status and confidence), and autonomy (others’ attitudes and opinions and uniqueness). Our findings could contribute to better understanding of the motivations behind luxury consumption and proposed the possible theoretical and managerial implications in the future.
Perceived Overqualification and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: The Mediating Role of Job Involvement
Authors: Wang Ze , Zuo Chunling
Published: February 2023

In recent years, the rapid expansion of universities and the increasingly fierce competition for talents have made overqualification a common phenomenon. As a special human-post mismatch phenomenon, the performance of overqualified employees directly affects the future long-term development of the organization. The organizational citizenship behavior of employees is the source of innovation and the key to maintaining the competitive advantage of the organization. Therefore, whether overqualified employees can demonstrate the organizational citizenship behavior that managers expect, and how to fully utilize and develop the remaining qualifications of overqualified employees so that their innovation potential can be fully utilized, creating more value for the organization and bringing higher returns to innovation performance, have become important research directions in academia. Based on the above research objectives and focus, this study aims to investigate whether overqualified employees can generate positive organizational citizenship behaviors and the influence mechanisms behind them. Through the questionnaire survey, 391 samples were collected in this study and found that perceptions of overqualification negatively affect organizational citizenship behavior, and job involvement plays a partially mediating role in the effect of perceptions of overqualification on organizational citizenship behavior. In other words, the influence of perceptions of overqualification on organizational citizenship behavior is realized through the mediating role of job involvement.

The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (henceforth COVID-19) has put restrictions on travel and educational exchange. In terms of Sino-Foreign Cooperative Institutions, this pandemic has imposed a strain on normal operation of education process, as foreign teachers hardly have the access to the mainland of China for prevention and control. Thus, these institutions have to rely on online teaching as the only way to maintain teaching work. However, some courses taught online are not effective and cannot fully replace traditional classroom teaching. Therefore, this study target at the largest Sino-Australian cooperative school in Zhejiang Province of China as the research object, and conduct a survey on English teaching delivered by foreign teachers via online and face-to-face methods. Specifically, listening and reading modules are taught online while speaking and writing ones are taught face-to-face. It is found that the combination of these ways performs better from feedback students provide and can almost reach the standard of traditional classroom teaching.

Post-Translational Chemical Modification of Amyloid-β Peptides by 4-Hydroxy-2-Nonenal
Authors: Kikuchi Hiroyuki , Takahashi Miki , Komatsu Hiroaki , Axelsen Paul H.
Published: February 2023

Background: The extraction and quantification of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in brain tissue commonly uses formic acid (FA) to disaggregate Aβ fibrils. However, it is not clear whether FA can disaggregate post-translationally modified Aβ peptides, or whether it induces artifact by covalent modification during disaggregation. Of particular interest are Aβ peptides that have been covalently modified by 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), an oxidative lipid degradation product produced in the vicinity of amyloid plaques that dramatically accelerates the aggregation of Aβ peptides. Objective: Test the ability of FA to disaggregate Aβ peptides modified by HNE and to induce covalent artifacts. Methods: Quantitative liquid-chromatography-tandem-mass spectrometry of monomeric Aβ peptides and identify covalently modified forms. Results: FA disaggregated ordinary Aβ fibrils but also induced the time-dependent formylation of at least 2 residue side chains in Aβ peptides, as well as oxidation of its methionine side chain. FA was unable to disaggregate Aβ peptides that had been covalently modified by HNE. Conclusion: The inability of FA to disaggregate Aβ peptides modified by HNE prevents FA-based approaches from quantifying a pool of HNE-modified Aβ peptides in brain tissue that may have pathological significance.
Traffic and delay aware routing using optimization algorithm for wireless sensor networks
Authors: Priyadharshini P. , Pavalarajan S.
Published: February 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of machines, computing devices, electronic equipment, and different sensors. It forms a network, where the transmission of device-related data can be accomplished. The devices in the IoT are connected to each other through wireless links and form ad-hoc networks. In IoT based applications, the lifetime of the communicating nodes is a greater concern. The network lifetime can be maximized by introducing energy efficient data transmission in the network. Therefore, a traffic and delay-aware energy-efficient routing (TADEER) protocol for IoT-based networks are proposed in this work. The proposed technique assigns delay for transmitting data based on the criticality level of data and traffic rate at the forwarding nodes. Fixing delays for data transmission helps to avoid unnecessary transmissions. The route selection process is implemented using an optimization algorithm. A Fuzzy logic (FL) based biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm is presented in this work. Thus, the number of data transmission and energy consumption can be reduced. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by analyzing transmission delay, network lifetime, and energy consumption. By comparing the simulation results to the existing methods TEAR and ETASA, the simulation results are validated.
A pragmatic approach of Parkinson disease detection using hybrid case-based reasoning neuro-fuzzy classification system over Mobile edge computing
Authors: Punarselvam E.
Published: February 2023

Parkinson’s disease is neurological degenerative disorder cause by deficient dopamine production which in turn harms the motor functionality and speech. With latest IoT advancement in the health care era, we propose intelligent and smart Parkinson’s disease detection system based on voice signal analysis. Addition to PDs detection, we propose remote health monitoring feature that keep on monitoring and diagnosing PD person activity. To perform all tasks efficiently we divide our propose model in three phases: monitoring, diagnosing and analysis. During monitoring phase, PDs person voice signal is monitored and captured via IoT sensor enabled Smartphone device. This voices signal is further processed for PD detection over MEC server during diagnosing phase. We use Tunable Q factor wavelet transform (TQWT) for extracting feature from voice sample, these extracted feature are reduced FRS methods. For feature reduction PCA and LDA are used. Theses processed feature are then applied to hybrid case-based reasoning neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) classification system to detect Parkinson’s disease. On the detection of PDs abnormality, the proposed healthcare monitoring system immediately generates notification to the patient simultaneously send detection report to centralized healthcare cloud system. This PDs detection report is further analyzed and stored at cloud server during analysis phase where report is analyzed by professional health expert and send the appropriate treatment and medication to PD infected person or care taker. For experimentation and performance evaluation benchmark baseline UCI dataset of PDs are used. We analyzed our proposed hybrid ANFIS-CBR classifier with existing classifiers over the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity parameter. Based on the result analysis, it is observed that proposed hybrid classifier maximum accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 98.23%, 99.1%, and 95.3% in comparison to other classifier.
RAGOSRA: Rough attributed goal oriented software requirements analysis method
Authors: Mariyam Farhana , Mehfuz Shabana , Sadiq Mohd.
Published: February 2023

Goal oriented software requirements analysis method is used for the analysis of elicited functional goals (FGs) and non-functional goals (NFGs) of a system in which goals are decomposed and refined into sub-goals until requirements from the sub-goals are identified. Based on the critical analysis, we found that most of the attention of goal-oriented methods is on the crisp and fuzzy logic during the analysis of the software goals or requirements. In these methods’ prior information about the type of membership function is required; and the selection of membership function depends on the subjective justification. As a result, it lacks objectivity and may affect the ranking values of the goals or requirements during the analysis. Therefore, this paper presents a rough attributed goal-oriented software requirements analysis (RAGOSRA) method in which rough preference matrix has been used to capture the opinions of different stakeholders. The results of the RAGOSRA method are compared by considering the following criteria, i.e., goal types, goal links, types of data used in the analysis, stakeholder perceptions and time complexity with some fuzzy based methods. Based on the time complexity analysis, it is found that RAGOSRA method requires only 24 operations for the selection of goals for the dataset having 3 NFGs and 4 FGs of an institute examination system. On the other hand, FAGOSRA method, fuzzy TOPSIS method, and fuzzy AHP method requires 36, 166, and 240 operations respectively.

Authors: Yousif Majeed A. , Hamasalh Faraidun K.
Published: February 2023

In this paper, a novel numerical scheme is developed using a new construct by non-polynomial spline for solving the time fractional Generalize Fisher equation. The proposed models represent bacteria, epidemics, Brownian motion, kinetics of chemicals and fuzzy systems. The basic concept of the new approach is constructing a non-polynomial spline with different non-polynomial trigonometric and exponential functions to solve fractional differential equations. The investigated method is demonstrated theoretically to be unconditionally stable. Furthermore, the truncation error is analyzed to determine the or-der of convergence of the proposed technique. The presented method was tested in some examples and compared graphically with analytical solutions for showing the applicability and effectiveness of the developed numerical scheme. In addition, the present method is compared by norm error with the cubic B-spline method to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the presented algorithm. The outcome of the study reveals that the developed construct is suitable and reliable for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations.

Authors: Guo Xiaobin , Chen Ying , Zhuo Quanxiu
Published: February 2023

In paper the generalized real eigenvalue and fuzzy eigenvector of a crisp real symmetric matrix with respect to another real symmetric matrix is studied. The original generalized fuzzy eigen problem is extended into a crisp generalized eigen problem of a real symmetric matrix with high orders using the arithmetic operation of LR fuzzy matrix and vector. Two cases are analysed: (a) the unknown eigenvalue λ is a non negative real number; (b) the unknown eigenvalue λ is a negative real number. Two computing models are established and an algorithm for finding the generalized fuzzy eigenvector of a real symmetric matrix is derived. Moreover, a sufficient condition for the existence of a strong generalized fuzzy eigenvector is given. Some numerical examples are shown to illustrated our proposed method.
Predictive modeling of drilling operation for optimum MRR, machine power, and estimated tool life using fuzzy logic and regression analysis
Authors: Saxena Arti , Dubey Y.M. , Kumar Manish
Published: February 2023

Models prediction is done for accurately anticipating metal removal rate (MRR), machine power (MP), and estimated tool life (ETL), which are vital in the industrial setup for better precision and higher speed. Cutting speed (CS) and feed rate (FR) were employed as controlling parameters for machining of P8 material on the SBCNC 60. By maintaining one of the two parameters constant at the mid-level, data from drilling experiments are sampled and examined. Application of ANOVA yields that the feed rate is 52.61 percent significant and the cutting speed is 46.49 percent significant for MRR, while cutting speed contributes 57.59 percent and feed rate contributes 41.77 percent to the machine power, and the same cutting speed contributes 83 percent to ETL’s output. The analysis results that CS at 190 m/min and FR at 0.3 mm/rev are optimal combinations of input control parameters for all output of drilling operations. The development of prediction models is done by fuzzy and its comparison is carried out with classical regression method for the achievement of optimum MRR, MP and ETL. Numerical parameters for establishing the optimum model are calculated for MAPE, RMSE, MAD, and correlation coefficient between experimental values and the values obtained from regression, and fuzzy logic predictions. MAPE, RMSE, MAD, and correlation coefficient calculated 1.27%, 2.43, 1.89, and 0.99 for MRR,0.97%,0.10, 0.09 and 0.997 for MP and 5.12%,1.01,0.67 and 0.99 for ETL respectively. Hence, the proposed fuzzy logic rules effectively predict the MRR, MP, and ETL on P8 material with optimized performance.
Putting team formations in association football into context
Authors: Bauer Pascal , Anzer Gabriel , Shaw Laurie
Published: February 2023

Choosing the right formation is one of the coach’s most important decisions in football. Teams change formation dynamically throughout matches to achieve their immediate objective: to retain possession, progress the ball up-field and create (or prevent) goal-scoring opportunities. In this work we identify the unique formations used by teams in distinct phases of play in a large sample of tracking data. This we achieve in two steps: first, we train a convolutional neural network to decompose each game into non-overlapping segments and classify these segments into phases with an average F1-score of 0.76. We then measure and contextualize unique formations used in each distinct phase of play. While conventional discussion tends to reduce team formations over an entire match to a single three-digit code (e.g. 4-4-2; 4 defender, 4 midfielder, 2 striker), we provide an objective representation of team formations per phase of play. Using the most frequently occurring phases of play, mid-block, we identify and contextualize six unique formations. A long-term analysis in the German Bundesliga allows us to quantify the efficiency of each formation, and to present a helpful scouting tool to identify how well a coach’s preferred playing style is suited to a potential club.

Published: February 2023

The developments of pH–sensitive liposomes which are stable at physiological pH i.e. (6.8–7.4) have not explored much up until now. These lipid vesicles will go through destabilization and attain fusogenic properties in acidic conditions leading to liberation of aqueous contents. Carboplatin, included in the family of alkylating agent was found to exhibit adverse effects like myelo suppression, ion thrombocytopenia and leucopenia. Therefore, in order to circumvent these effects, carboplatin pH-sensitive liposomes for specific delivery is the ideal criteria and it poses a great challenge since the water-soluble drugs exhibited very low entrapment efficiency. The essential portion of study was evaluated using the Design Expert software 8. The pH-sensitive liposomes were optimized using Central composite design and one factor Response surface model design method and were prepared by film hydration method. Two formulation variables like drug: lipid ratio (X1) and volume of hydration media (X2) used to vary at three different levels and the other three variables viz. temperature, speed of rotation and vacuum applied were kept constant. The Response surface and contour plots were figured to elicit the effects of interaction of variables on the overall entrapment efficiency. pH-sensitive liposomes of carboplatin have been regarded as a promising delivery systematic approach in order to target tumor tissue as evaluated by the pre-clinical studies in both in vitro and ex-vivo conditions.

Published: February 2023

Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a “polio-like” neurologic disorder of the spinal cord gray matter characterized by asymmetric, flaccid limb weakness of rapid onset following prodromal viral illness. It has affected the pediatric population of the United States since 2014, but there is a paucity of literature describing the post-acute comprehensive rehabilitation management that maximizes functional outcomes for patients. This case series attempts to mitigate this by describing the complete acute and post-acute care course of six children diagnosed with AFM in Western Pennsylvania. It is critical that pediatric rehabilitation medicine providers be knowledgeable about the complex medical and rehabilitation management for patients with AFM.

Postulate of Phenomenological Ontology and its Significance for Science and our Worldview
Authors: Kosatica Demijan
Published: February 2023

This work offers an interpretation of phenomenological ontology by formulating its fundamental propositions in order to explain their significance for science and our personal worldview. In the paper, phenomenology is understood as the proper method of ontology or the “science of being” as the most general philosophical discipline. This embodies the idea of a “first philosophy” that is free from all prejudice and that rejects or criticizes metaphysics, the subject–object dualism, empiricism, rationalism, realism, idealism, materialism, skepticism and relativism. The paper dismisses ontological objectivism as a methodological fallacy and seeks to reach a clear understanding of science, as well as of ourselves and our relation to the world. As such, it represents an introductory part of the methodology of scientific work, as well as an alternative perspective on the issues of existentialism, religion and spiritualism.

Published: February 2023

Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde, a adolescência é caracterizada por transições biológicas, sociais e psicológicas, que ocorrem dos 10 aos 19 anos de idade. Já o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, considera adolescentes aqueles que possuem entre 12 e 18 anos de idade. O comportamento sexual é caracterizado pela curiosidade e pela descoberta do prazer. Nesse período de descoberta, os adolescentes se deparam com diversos tabus socioculturais que, muitas vezes, os impedem, não apenas de prevenir as doenças a que estão suscetíveis, mas também de buscar tratamento quando a doença se estabelece. O câncer de pênis é responsável por aproximadamente 2,1% de todos os tumores em homens no Brasil, possuindo maior incidência nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o conhecimento de alunos da Escola de Referência de Ensino Médio Professor Cândido Duarte, localizada no município de Recife/PE. Tratando-se de um estudo quantitativo descritivo, foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado sobre o câncer de pênis, sintomas, fatores de risco e prevenção, com a participação de 42 discentes. Quanto a sintomas, feridas avermelhadas, inchaços, manchas brancas e secreções com forte odor, foram apontados por 67,4% dos entrevistados. Em relação aos principais fatores de risco, a relação sexual sem uso de preservativo, a falta de informação, o acúmulo de esmegma e a fimose, foram citados por 86% dos discentes. 48% dos entrevistados citaram o uso de preservativos nas relações sexuais como medida de prevenção. Os estudantes demonstraram conhecimento razoável sobre educação sexual, porém àqueles referentes aos aspectos específicos do câncer de pênis não foram satisfatórios.

Istraživanje vaskularne flore provedeno je na dijelu južnih padina planine Ivanščice iznad grada Zlatara u listopadu 2022. godine. Zabilježeno je ukupno 85 svojti vaskularne flore unutar 47 porodica. S obzirom na broj svojti najzastupljenije su bile porodice Rosaceae, Asteraceae te Aspleniaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae i Lamiaceae. Biljne svojte su s obzirom na životni oblik uglavnom hemikriptofiti (35,7 %) i fanerofiti (33,3 %), dok su terofiti najmanje zastupljeni (6,0 %). Na temelju Ellenbergovih indikatorskih vrijednosti zabilježenim vrstama pogoduju staništa umjerene vlažnosti te kisela tla umjereno bogata humusom. Prema Crvenoj knjizi vaskularne flore Hrvatske na istraživanom području rastu jedna osjetljiva (Taxus baccata L.) i jedna gotovo ugrožena vrsta (Cyclamen purpurascens Mill.), a zabilježene su i dvije invazivne vrste (Robinia pesudoacacia L. i Erigeron annuus (L.) Desf). Rezultati ukazuju da su staništa na južnim padinama Ivanščice karakterizirana velikom raznolikošću biljnih vrsta, stoga su u svrhu njihova očuvanja nužna daljnja istraživanja.

The article describes the effect of war on the performance of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and the consequences that will follow. The study states that during the war the most important factor that influences the decisions of agriculture enterprises is the military situation. According to the study, the most affected by the war will be such crops as wheat, barley, and sunflower, sown area of which are situated in eastern Ukraine and in the zones with ongoing war or are/were temporarily occupied. Less affected will be such crops as soybeans and corn with the majority of their sown areas situated outside the areas of the ongoing fighting. The effect of war on the agricultural enterprises which are situated in the areas with ongoing fighting or close to it may include physical destruction of machinery, building facilities, and crops which may negatively affect enterprises` ability to perform all the required work and plant next year. Some enterprises may choose not to plant such crops as winter wheat and winter barley this year and make their decisions about which crops to sow next year based on the situation. Sea blockade combined with the increased risk of physical destruction of the yield caused a surplus of the proposition of agriculture products in Ukraine which in turn lowered the prices. Because of this the revenue generated per hectare of the sown area will be much lower. Another effect the war is having on agricultural enterprises is increasing the cost of resources. The prices have greatly increased for such resources as inorganic fertilizers, petrol, etc. This may force enterprises to concentrate on crops that require lower expenses or find ways to lower them. The increased cost or resources combined with lower revenue will result in much lower net profits. The other issue that may have a negative effect on the agriculture enterprises in Ukraine may be a shortage of storage facilities which is caused by the destruction of some of them and the disruptions of export which prevented enterprises from exporting their products. It may force enterprises to sell for much lower prices or look for alternative ways of storage which in turn may increase their costs.

The article examines the current state and trends of investing in the development of renewable energy sources and waste-free biogas technologies in agriculture. Investing in biogas plants for large agricultural enterprises solves several problems at once. One of the most important is the processing of waste, which is especially important for livestock complexes. The volumes of global investments in renewable energy sources and biofuels in 2011–2021 are analyzed and determined that 2021 was a record year in terms of total investment in the energy transition, and in terms of investment in renewable energy and biofuels. China and Europe remain the leaders in investing in renewable energy and biofuels in 2021. In recent years, there has been an upward trend in domestic investment in renewable energy and biofuels, but their volumes are still at a low level. Investing in any market, regardless of the presence of international representatives on it and the probable inclination of the business to risk, is a rather difficult decision. The initial stage in deciding to enter the Ukrainian market, the investor must choose and develop a clear and unambiguous investment strategy through a thorough risk assessment. Three possible scenarios for an investor to enter the renewable energy and biofuels market have been identified: creation of a new company from scratch (greenfield), acquisition of an existing company; acquisition of existing production. Also, on the basis of the most cost-effective scenario – the creation of a new company from scratch (greenfield) – an assessment of the economic efficiency of investing in waste-free biogas technologies in agriculture was carried out. Based on the results of the study, five areas have been identified to stimulate investment in renewable energy sources in general and biogas waste-free technologies in particular. Increased investment in the renewable energy sector will allow Ukraine to produce additional volumes of electricity that can be exported to Europe in exchange for Russian energy resources. Despite global trends, many investors have suspended support for renewable energy projects due to the state’s failure to fulfill its obligations and the retrospective reduction of “green” tariffs without launching an alternative in the form of “green” auctions.

The article examines modern aspects of the development of an important component of the financial sector – non-bank financial institutions in Ukraine. The impact of the financial and economic crisis, caused by the russian invasion, on the activities of insurance companies, credit unions, pawnshops and other non-bank financial institutions was studied. It was determined that the financial sector, as one of the key units of the country's economy, was one of the first to undergo the introduction of a number of changes. If the liquidity of the banking sector is not doubt, then non-banking financial institutions were less ready for the challenges of war. It was determined that the impact of the war on the activities of various non-banking financial institutions was heterogeneous and had its own characteristics. It is noted that the NBU has eased regulatory restrictions for the period of martial law. In general, the functioning of non-banking financial institutions is accompanied by problems with operational activities and business. The war caused a significant decrease in the cash flows of non-bank financial institutions. If at the beginning of the war non-bank financial institutions practically suspended their activities, then starting from the second quarter of 2022 they resumed their activities. It was found that individual financial companies, despite all the negative aspects associated with the aggression of the russian federation, demonstrated a profit, which provided although not significant, but a positive financial result for the sector as a whole. Currently, the war continues, and it is difficult to make clear forecasts of the functioning of the non-banking sector of Ukraine. Accordingly, the stable activity of the financial sector as a whole and its non-banking sector in particular is one of the priority tasks of the government.
