ЗООЗАХИСНА ТЕМАТИКА В ОНЛАЙН-МЕДІА «УКРІНФОРМ» ВОЄННОГО ПЕРІОДУ
Authors: Chernyavska L. , Kravchuk S.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the study is to characterize the trends in the thematic direction of animal protection materials in the online media «Ukrinform» during the war period.

Research methodology. Methods of systematization, analysis and synthesis, and interpretation were used for the study of animal protection materials. An overview of the scientific discourse on animal protection was made. For the analysis, the monitoring of animal welfare-related publications of the online media «Ukrinform» was involved, as a media that is a source of information for the Ukrainian media.

The results. The article is devoted to animal protection activities as a subject for distribution and discussion in the media space. Traditionally, animal protection as a topic remained in the background, coming forward only occasionally. However, during the crisis period, when the Ukrainian community faced the consequences of the armed conflict en masse in the active phase, attention was drawn to another group of witnesses and victims of harsh everyday life. While volunteer and animal protection organizations fight for the life, rights and welfare of animals, the Ukrainian media comprehensively covers their activities, preventing this painful topic from disappearing from the mass consciousness.

Novelty. Animal protection topics acquired new forms and reached a new level during the war period. Animal protection as a field of activity in Ukraine has faced new challenges of reality and is now constantly searching for solutions to its pressing issues. The role of the media in this case is great, the more the problem is highlighted, the closer it becomes to its solution.

Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in the process of studying courses on communication, ethics and human rights activities to form value foundations in students of the «Journalism» specialty, as well as media practitioners in matters of disclosing the topic of animal protection and its goals.

Key words: animal protection, mass media, human rights activities, information agencies.
THE INVESTIGATION OF BEST PRACTICES ON SYMBOLIC MATHEMATICAL COMMUNICATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN JAPAN, LAO PDR, AND THAILAND
Authors: Thinwiangthong Sampan , Ya-amphan Duangmanee , Sythong Phailath , Ishizaka Hiroki
Published: January 2024

Purpose – This comparative study sought to identify best practices concerning symbolic mathematical communication between primary school teachers and students in Japanese, Laotian, and Thai classrooms.
Method – The target groups were 18 teachers and 671 students in Grade 1 to Grade 6 mathematics classrooms in Japan, Lao PDR, and Thailand. A total of 18 classrooms were inspected, one from each grade; thus, the unit of analysis was a classroom. Research instruments included a video recorder, a camera, and field notes. The data was gathered by videotaping, photographing, and taking notes. A descriptive analytics method was used to examine the data, following Pirie's mathematical communication framework (Pirie, 1998).
Findings – Based on cultural norms and educational approaches in each country, the country-specific practices of symbolic communication were found to differ significantly among the mathematics teachers from the three countries. Owing to the education system in Japan placing a strong emphasis on discipline and respect, their teachers were found to focus on students’ symbolic explanations, particularly allowing students to elaborate on the meaning of complex mathematical ideas and concepts using symbolic communication. Laotian teachers tended to explain the answers using symbolic mathematical communication. This is because the country-specific practices in the Laotian local context concerning mathematical concepts are contextualized to relate to students’ daily lives and experiences, making abstract symbols more meaningful. Finally, Thai teachers were found to focus on the students’ answers rather than the learning process or operations. This suggests that Thai teachers often focus on memorising and repeating of mathematical procedures and formulas.
Significance – The study findings offer a substantial understanding of the role of culture in education by investigating symbolic communication in mathematics classrooms in Japan, Laos, and Thailand. This implies the potential to improve teaching practices,enhance student learning experiences, and promote cultural sensitivity and inclusion in educational settings.
Evolutionary outcomes arising from bistability in ecosystem dynamics
Authors: Boucenna Sirine , Dakos Vasilis , Raoul Gael
Published: January 2024

While it is known that shallow lakes ecosystems may experience abrupt shifts (ie tipping points) from one state to a contrasting degraded alternative state as a result of gradual environmental changes, the role of evolutionary processes and the impact of trait variation in this context remain largely unexplored. It is crucial to elucidate how eco-evolutionary feedbacks affect abrupt ecological transitions in shallow lakes. These feedbacks can significantly alter the dynamics of aquatic plants competition, community structure, and species diversity, potentially affecting the existence of alternative states or either delay or expedite the thresholds at which these ecological shifts occur. In this paper, we explore the eco-evolutionary dynamics of submerged and floating macrophytes in a shallow lake ecosystem under asymmetric competition for nutrients and light. We use adaptive dynamics and a structured population model to analyze the evolution of the growth depth of the submerged and floating macrophytes population, which influences their competitive ability for the two resources. We showhow rapid trait evolution can result in complex dynamics including evolutionary oscillations, extensive diversification and evolutionary suicide.Furthermore, we find that the co-evolution of the two competitive species can play a stabilizing role, while not significantly affecting the overall evolutionary dynamics. Overall, this study shows that evolution can have strong effects in the ecological dynamics of bistable ecosystems.
Distribution, Abundance and Status of At-Risk Birds at a Six-Acre Site Within the Upper Boileau Biodiversity Reserve, Québec: A Year-Long Research Study
Authors: Videle Jimmy
Published: January 2024

Understanding the distribution, abundance and status of at-risk birds in any area where human impact is low is an imperative in understanding the larger ecological situation. Birds have been widely seen as reliable indicators of ecological health and there have been significant population declines in North America, especially among migratory aerial insectivores, and are escalading rapidly. As a worldwide community we must seek out those forests, grasslands and wetlands that are currently the least exploited to measure species—listed as threatened and declining. This paper documents the research study that took place within the Upper Boileau Biodiversity Reserve—a proposed key biodiversity area. The six-acre site at La Ferme de l’Aube is indicative of the larger UBBR with mixed coniferous and deciduous woodlands, riverine and marshland habitat, open wildlands and a forest edge. During the 357-day study, 122 species were documented, the highest yearly total at the site and a 18.4% increase over the next best yearly effort. 13.9% of all birds observed during the study year are deemed either at-risk or declining. Looking at regional gaps in bird distribution and filling them with observations will help to understand the impacts of climate change, habitat loss and human interference. Specifically focusing not only on birds currently listed as at risk, but also on those that have been deemed in decline will give us the tools necessary to take aggressive action now so that these species do not end up on these inevitable watch lists.

Authors: Rozing Goran , Jukić Dina , Glavaš Hrvoje , Žnidarec Matej
Published: January 2024

Photovoltaic industry has displayed an exponential expansion rate over the past two decades. Currently, 1185 GW of the global electricity demand is derived from photovoltaic (PV) panels with more to come in the next two decades. With the growing installment rate, a concern regarding managing panels that reached the end of their life-span grows. Despite the fact that the approximate life-span of a panel is 25 years, oftentimes this interval is shortened due to weather conditions, low-quality installations, and poor maintenance. Therefore, a global attention is focused on research and law-regulation of proper recycling and disposal of the PV waste. In this contribution, recyclability of one PV panel is determined upon subjecting it to the simplest recycling process, which is manual mechanical separation using common hand-tools. In addition, an ecological-economic analysis of the panel, which yields an absolute profit of the panel is presented.
Machine Learning Approaches to Advanced Outlier Detection in Psychological Datasets
Authors: Al. Abri Khoula , Singh Sidhu Manjit
Published: January 2024

The core aim of this study is to determine the most effective outlier detection methodologies for multivariate psychological datasets, particularly those derived from Omani students. Due to their complex nature, such datasets demand robust analytical methods. To this end, we employed three sophisticated algorithms: local outlier factor (LOF), one-class support vector machine (OCSVM), and isolation forest (IF). Our initial findings showed 155 outliers by both LOF and IF and 147 by OCSVM. A deeper analysis revealed that LOF detected 55 unique outliers based on differences in local density, OCSVM isolated 44 unique outliers utilizing its transformed feature space, and IF identified 76 unique outliers leveraging its tree-based mechanics. Despite these varying results, all methods had a consensus for just 44 outliers. Employing ensemble techniques, both averaging and voting methods identified 155 outliers, whereas the weighted method highlighted 151, with a consensus of 150 outliers across the board. In conclusion, while individual algorithms provide distinct perspectives, ensemble techniques enhance the accuracy and consistency of outlier detection. This underscores the necessity of using multiple algorithms with ensemble techniques in analyzing psychological datasets, facilitating a richer comprehension of inherent data structures.
Multimodal emotion recognition based on the fusion of vision, EEG, ECG, and EMG signals
Authors: Bhatlawande Shripad , Shilaskar Swati , Pramanik Sourjadip , Sole Swarali
Published: January 2024

This paper presents a novel approach for emotion recognition (ER) based on Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyogram (EMG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and computer vision. The proposed system includes two different models for physiological signals and facial expressions deployed in a real-time embedded system. A custom dataset for EEG, ECG, EMG, and facial expression was collected from 10 participants using an Affective Video Response System. Time, frequency, and wavelet domain-specific features were extracted and optimized, based on their Visualizations from Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Local Ternary Patterns (LTP), Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), and Gabor descriptors were used for differentiating facial emotions. Classification models, namely decision tree, random forest, and optimized variants thereof, were trained using these features. The optimized Random Forest model achieved an accuracy of 84%, while the optimized Decision Tree achieved 76% for the physiological signal-based model. The facial emotion recognition (FER) model attained an accuracy of 84.6%, 74.3%, 67%, and 64.5% using K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forest, Decision Tree, and XGBoost, respectively. Performance metrics, including Area Under Curve (AUC), F1 score, and Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), were computed to evaluate the models. The outcome of both results, i.e., the fusion of bio-signals and facial emotion analysis, is given to a voting classifier to get the final emotion. A comprehensive report is generated using the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) language model based on the resultant emotion, achieving an accuracy of 87.5%. The model was implemented and deployed on a Jetson Nano. The results show its relevance to ER. It has applications in enhancing prosthetic systems and other medical fields such as psychological therapy, rehabilitation, assisting individuals with neurological disorders, mental health monitoring, and biometric security.
An improved algorithm of generating shortening patterns for polar codes
Authors: El Kaime Issame , Ait Madi Abdessalam , Benkhouya Reda , Hajbi Soufiane
Published: January 2024

The rate matching in polar codes becomes a solution when non-conventional codewords of length N≠2n are required. Shortening is employed to design arbitrary rate codes from a mother code with a given rate. Based on the conventional shortening scheme, length of constructed polar codes is limited. In this paper, we demonstrate the presence of favorable and unfavorable shortening patterns. The structure of polar codes is leveraged to eliminate unfavorable shortening patterns, thereby reducing the search space. We generate an auxiliary matrix through likelihood and subsequently select the shortening bits from the matrix. Unlike different existing methods that offer only a single shortening pattern, our algorithm generates multiple favorable shortening patterns, encompassing all possible favorable configurations. This algorithm has a reduced complexity and suboptimal performance, effectively identifying shortening patterns and sets of frozen symbols for any polar code. Simulation results underscore that the shortened polar codes exhibit performance closely aligned with the mother codes. Our algorithm addresses this security concern by making it more difficult for an attacker to obtain the information set and frozen symbols of a polar code. This is done by generating multiple shortening patterns for any polar code.

Jacques et Rania sont très engagés dans l’enseignement qu’ils offrent à leurs élèves et dans leur propre formation continue. En plus de guider leurs élèves dans les apprentissages de disciplines scolaires, ils veulent aussi les soutenir dans la prise en charge de leur apprentissage. En fait, ils souhaitent les conduire à « apprendre de manière autorégulée ». Or, comment ces enseignants conçoivent-ils l’apprentissage autorégulé ? Que font-ils déjà dans leur enseignement pour favoriser l’apprentissage autorégulé des élèves ? Eux-mêmes, lorsqu’ils sont en formation, comment sont-ils soutenus dans leur apprentissage de pratiques nouvelles ou innovantes ? Aborder ces questions est important, car cela pourrait servir à orienter de nouvelles initiatives pédagogiques dans les classes ainsi qu’en formation initiale et continue des enseignants. Le but du présent ouvrage vise ainsi à contribuer à répondre à ces interrogations. Ce livre se veut un ouvrage de référence pour les enseignants, les conseillers pédagogiques, les inspecteurs d’écoles, les étudiants aux trois cycles de l’enseignement supérieur, ainsi que pour tous les chercheurs qui se situent dans le champ en sciences de l’éducation. En effet, en réunissant des aspects théoriques et pratiques concernant les conceptions et les pratiques des enseignants au regard de l’apprentissage autorégulé ainsi que leur formation ciblant cette fois leur propre apprentissage autorégulé, cet ouvrage cherche à devenir une référence dans le domaine pour la francophonie.

Tatarzy obok Karaimów byli niewątpliwie najmniejszymi etnosem, który zasilił Wielkie Księstwo Litewskie w końcu XIV wieku. Obie grupy choć różniące się od siebie pozostawały w dość bliskiej relacji na przestrzeni wieków, a to z racji zamieszkiwania obok siebie, wchodzenia w relacje natury gospodarczej, czy w końcu pozostając „innymi” wobec większości. W niniejszym artykule chciałbym zaakcentować jeden z elementów wzajemnej współpracy i wzajemnego poparcia  mianowicie kwestię budowy meczetu w Warszawie. Dzięki bogatej korespondencji Seraja Szapszała możemy prześledzić wzajemną współprace tatarsko-karaimską w kwestii budowy meczetu w Warszawie w okresie międzywojennym.

Published: January 2024

Purpose. Development of a control system for a mechatronic system, taking into account the geometric solution of the inverse kinematics problem. The methods. The research was based on the principles of theoretical and applied mechanics, as well as the Denavit-Hartenberg transformation model. The formation of graphical computational models and kinematic diagrams simplified the development of the mathematical model of the dynamic system without considering the forces acting on the mechanism links. The possibility of using matrix transformations to simplify the search for generalized coordinates and transition to the local disposition of each link was explored for further integration of the obtained results into automation and control systems. Findings. The obtained results, determining the trajectory of the gripper using inverse kinematics models, allowed the development of algorithms for determining the position of mechanism links with the possibility of software implementation of the control system. Identifying patterns for determining accurate position coordinates by the matrix method allows the application of open-source software for real-time position calculations. The originality. The use of modern technologies for visual assessment of the external environment and coordinating control impulses of the executive body drive was first achieved based on the mathematical model of the inverse kinematics of a multi-link mechanism. This automated the determination of local coordinates for each link within its degrees of freedom and algorithmized this process. Combining the mathematical models of mechanism kinematics and the matrix form of coordinate search allows investigating the influence of the displacement of the i-th link of the mechatronic technical complex on the overall system, considering the acting force systems and the specified spatial orientation of both the executive body and intermediate links. Practical implementation. The implementation of obtained kinematic models using the matrix method enables the software realization of algorithms for searching the coordinates of the i-th mechanism link, automating the control process with the task of final positions, determining the level of integral error during the displacement of the initial link, and providing the possibility of programming autonomous mechatronic systems with open-source code. As a result, the introduction of semi or fully autonomous technical complexes will automate technological processes in various industries.
Simulation the spring element of a screen in the SolidWorks Motion
Authors: Shkut A
Published: January 2024

Purpose. Develop a methodology for modeling the elastic element of a screen using the SolidWorks Motion environment. The methods. The methodology for modeling the elastic element of the screen was developed on the basis of the Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks software product. The mathematical expression that describes the behavior of the spring built into SolidWorks Motion is derived. Also, in the same software product, graphs are built that reflect the behavior of the system in which the spring model is used. Findings. Based on the study of the computational experiment data, a mathematical model of the spring was developed for use in the SolidWorks Motion software product. An analytical expression for the critical vertical force corresponding to the transition of the spring from the upper position (compression spring) to the lower position (tensile spring) is obtained. The spatial vibrations of a plate supported by four springs along its perimeter are investigated. It was found that the plate exhibits behavior similar to a system with three degrees of freedom. In order to reduce the deviations, the use of horizontal springs was proposed. The methodology used was applied to the dynamic analysis of the screen. The originality. The mathematical model of the spring, which is embedded in the SolidWorks Motion software product, is determined. An expression is given that determines the value of the critical load, which will lead to a change in the position of the spring. Practical implementation. The equation that describes the state of a spring can be used when calculating elastic elements of machinery using SolidWorks Motion methods. This is especially relevant when designing mechanisms and systems where it is necessary to accurately predict the behavior of elastic elements during their operation. The use of simulation software allows engineers to optimize designs and test various load scenarios without creating prototypes.
Stress-strain state of composite multi-layer stay rope considering breakages in reinforcing elements and nonlinear distribution of mechanical properties
Authors: Belmas I , Kolosov D , Bilous O , Tantsura H , Onyshchenko S
Published: January 2024

Purpose. Formulation of an algorithm for considering the influence of continuity breakages in fiber reinforcing elements on stay rope strength. Methods. Construction and analytical solution of a mathematical model of interaction for parallel fiber reinforcingelements connected through elastic material, in a case of continuity breakage of individual elements in reinforcement. Findings. A static strength calculation algorithm for a multi-layer stay rope with breakages in one cross-section of reinforcing elements is developed. It is established that a continuity breakage of an arbitrary element of a stay rope reinforcement leads to a significant change in internal loads of only the adjacent reinforcing elements and is practically independent of a nonlinear deformation character of cable components. Greater loads on reinforcing elements occur in a case of breakage of a corner reinforcing element, and the smallest loads – in a case of breakage of a central one.It is established that a number of rows of reinforcing elements in a stay rope and location of a damaged reinforcing element do not significantly affect displacement of cable end and do not affect distribution of loads among reinforcing elements in a damaged cross-section. Displacements depend on a ratio of shear modulus of elastic material and Young's modulus of reinforcing elements; the ratio is varied along cable length. It is established that a reinforcing element location with discontinuity does not significantly affect the character of relative growth of stay rope deformations in a case of nonlinear character of elastic shell deformation. Deformation nonlinearity of cable components does not affect redistribution of forces in stay rope with damaged reinforcing elements. Maximum relative displacements of reinforcing elements and the resulting maximum shear angles of material located between reinforcing elements are smaller than a value of the assumed nonlinearity coefficient. Characters of displacements of reinforcing elements are qualitatively similar. Scientific novelty. An analytical algorithm is developed for calculating a stress-strain state of a multilayer stay rope considering its design, nonlinearly of mechanical properties of its components distributed along the cable with damage to an arbitrary group of reinforcing elements in one cross-section. Practical significance. The developed algorithm allows considering a nonlinear deformation character of stay rope components on its stress state in a case of breakages in an arbitrary number of reinforcing elements arbitrarily located in a stay rope with a continuity breakage in one cross-section. The algorithm can be applied to determine a stress-stress state of a stay rope with breakage in a cross-section infinitely distant from rope ends. The algorithm allows considering the influence of breakages in reinforcing elements on rope strength, which increases rope reliability in a structure.
Nature of the monopoly of information and communication platforms
Authors: Hanovskyi V. L
Published: January 2024

Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the theory of sectoral markets as a separate branch of microeconomic theory that explains the principles of functioning of market structures. Starting from the neoclassical concept of monopoly and supplementing it with institutional, behavioral and other parameters, the author conducts a comparative analysis of economic and natural monopoly with a new phenomenon in market organization – the monopoly of information and communication platforms, and on this basis determines the its nature. Results. The article theoretically substantiates the sources of monopoly of information and communication platforms, including the high level of market concentration, low elasticity of demand, and barriers to entry that are typical for traditional economic monopolies, and the economies of scale, subadditivity of costs and control over the key resource in the industry that are inherent in natural monopolies, as well as network effects, transaction cost savings and control over large databases that are unique to the monopoly of information and communication platforms. The author describes the typical behavioral strategies that follow from them: the formation of «bottlenecks» in the channels of goods movement and the exploitation of the lock-in effect, vertical integration and leverage of market power, personalization, exclusive dealership, etc. The specifics of their implementation for transactional and non-transactional platforms are determined. The role of the key resource operator in the digital ecosystem is determined. Novelty of the study presented in the article lies in the systematization of the sources of market power that determine the formation of the monopoly of information and communication platforms, and in the identification of unique ones among them and those which are typical for other types of monopoly. The author substantiates the role of network effects, transaction costs and big data control in consolidating the monopoly position of information and communication platforms in the «bottlenecks» of the commodity circulation chains. Practical value. The results of the study form the theoretical basis for the state regulation of the monopoly of information and communication platforms.
Role of mechanisms regulating the environmental and economic development of mining industry in the formation of innovative environment of national economy
Authors: Yatsykovskyy B. I , Ivanyshyna H. S , Holubka S. M
Published: January 2024

Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on the problems of the national economy and its sectoral structure, subsoil use, sustainable development, state regulation, environmental economics, and environmental policy. The results of the work were obtained through the use of methods of analysis and synthesis, a dialectical approach, the method of analogy, scientific generalization, and the method of economic and comparative analysis. Results. The need for government influence on economic development is substantiated in order to effectively use the natural resource potential based on the extraction of minerals from the subsoil, as well as their exploration, development, primary processing, use and sale. The role of management mechanisms in the formation of an innovative model of balanced development of the national economy is determined, and the priorities of ecological and economic development of the mining industry are highlighted. The concept of state regulation is substantiated by the economic development of the mining industry, which varies between two extreme scenarios - active extractionof minerals in compliance with the requirements of effective use of natural resource potential and/or suspension of extraction of minerals in view of the interests of future generations and ecological imperatives. It has been proven that the improvement of the administrative and legal mechanisms of regulation of ecological and economic development should be carried out not so much through the introduction of new norms as by monitoring the implementation of existing provisions, as well as taking into account the experience of regulation of ecological and economic development in the system of national economies in the EU countries. Novelty. The specifics of the state regulation of ecological and economic development of the mining industry are revealed, which requires compliance with the principles established by law and will enable the implementation of relevant mechanisms for the purpose of forming an innovative environment of the ecological economy. Practical value. The results of the study are of an applied nature, since the study of the principles and issues of priorities of ecological and economic development in the system of the national economy in general and the mining industry, in particular, provides an opportunity to improve the implementation of mechanisms of state regulation aimed at the formation of innovative foundations of the ecological economy.

Authors: Savchenko M. V , Osadchuk A. I , Sergushova I. O
Published: January 2024

Methods. During the research, the following general scientific research methods were applied, such as: abstraction, the method of grouping and classifications – when determining the essence of the category «glocalization» and its interpretation by various representatives of modern economic science; comparative analysis – when establishing distinctive and similar features of globalization and glocalization processes; system-structural analysis – when distinguishing the levels of glocalization. Results. The article is devoted to the study of glocalization processes in the world economy. The works of scientists who studied this process were analyzed, and the definition of the term «glocalization» is presented. Differences in the essence and nature of the processes of glocalization and globalization have been established. Examples of companies that actively apply glocalization policy in their economic activities are given. The prospects for the development of glocalization are outlined, as well as the analysis of its effectiveness. The specifics of these processes in different countries of the world are characterized on the example of the adaptation of McDonald's and Nestle companies to the national markets of different regions of the world. It has been proven that for the development of international trade, it is important to take into account the local characteristics in which international business operates. The importance of the application of glocalization policy in the modern world is revealed. Novelty. The advantages of carrying out glocalization for national and world markets are determined. Practical value. The study of glocalization processes in the world economy makes it possible to predict their impact on national and world markets, and also allows to study the results of the impact of glocalization processes as a whole. The study reveals the importance of this policy and makes it possible to predict its impact on the global economy in the future.

Published: January 2024

Methods. The study of financial instruments of «green» banking in the conditions of the postwar recovery of Ukraine was carried out using the methods of cognition and objective analysis. The theoretical and scientific–methodological basis of the research is the foundations of financial science and banking. Official statistical data of the National Bank of Ukraine were used to assess the level of lending and financing of the «green» economy in the pre-war period. Statistical and graphic methods were used to analyze these data. The method of generalization was used to determine the external and internal factors that can influence the development of the «green» economy and its bank financing. Results. The main features and problems of the functioning of the «green» economy and the influence of the banking system of Ukraine on it during the period of global economic and political challenges are studied. It was found that the effective development of the banking system is important for the development of «green» financing. It was found that bank financing of the «green» economy is very vulnerable to fluctuations in global and national energy markets, as it is constantly dependent on the growing amount of financial resources to finance it. Global crises also have a significant impact on the lending status of Ukraine's «green» economy. An important result of the study is the determination of the main ways of bank activity for the formation of effective «green» banking in order to overcome the negative impact of the state of war in Ukraine, damage to the energy system and further post–war recovery. It has been established that banking institutions can use the international experience of banking financing the development of the «green» economy in order to ensure a quick and effective post–war recovery of the country's energy system and the economy as a whole. Novelty. The main aspects of «green» banking, its impact on the sustainability of development, as well as the main directions of the development of the banking system of Ukraine with regard to the effective financing of «green» projects in the post-war reconstruction of the country are determined. Practical value.The prospects of using the tools of «green» banking to promote sustainable development and recovery of Ukraine after the military conflict are highlighted.
