Annotation: Contemporary secondary education increasingly emphasises the development of students' capacity for meaningful learning, critical information analysis, and independent knowledge construction. This article examines project-based learning (PBL) as a pedagogical approach with significant potential for fostering learner autonomy, analytical thinking, and metacognitive skills within humanities subjects at the secondary school level. Drawing on a review of research in project-based and problem-oriented learning, as well as reflective analysis of pedagogical practice, the paper describes a staged model for organising project work within classroom time. Particular attention is given to the teacher's role as facilitator and to the significance of formative assessment and structured reflection throughout the learning process. The findings indicate that PBL, when implemented as a sequential, supported, and reflective process, promotes the formation of durable learning strategies, the development of student independence, and deeper engagement with humanities content. The practical contribution of the article lies in a step-by-step pedagogical model grounded in teacher reflection and adaptable to standard school curricula.

Annotation: (Українська) Акрилові нігті захопили косметичний ринок два десятиліття тому, але питання про те, що вони роблять з природною нігтьовою пластиною, довго нікого особливо не цікавило. Ця робота розбирає механізми пошкодження нігтів після акрилового нарощування та збирає докупи протоколи відновлення на основі клінічних даних 2017-2024 років. Виявилося: основна біда йде від механічного спилювання під час підготовки та зняття, хімічного протравлювання кислотними праймерами, зневоднення через розчинники та руйнування ліпідного захисту. Клінічно це виглядає як витончення пластини на 20-35%, розшарування, поздовжні тріщини, підвищена ламкість. Відновлення базується на припиненні травмування, поверненні вологи та ліпідів, застосуванні кератинових засобів та стимуляції зони росту. Повна регенерація займає 4-6 місяців за умови повної відмови від акрилу. Профілактика включає низькокислотні праймери, м'яку обробку поверхні, делікатне зняття та обов'язкові перерви між процедурами.

Annotation: Permanent makeup is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures. However, despite its popularity, there is a problem of skin microtrauma, which can occur due to incorrect choice of device and needle parameters. In this article, we will look at the key factors affecting the safety and effectiveness of permanent makeup. These factors include the diameter and configuration of the needles, the length of their tips, as well as the depth and rate of penetration of the pigment. Assessing the effect of these parameters on the skin and ways to optimize them will help minimize tissue damage and improve the safety of procedures. The article will provide recommendations for improving permanent makeup technologies, including the use of more accurate devices, optimizing needles, and developing better pigments.

Annotation: The article discusses the reasons why unwanted color changes may occur after the permanent eyebrow makeup procedure, and suggests measures to prevent such changes. The relevance of this topic is due to the high risk of changing the original shade of the pigment, which may negatively affect aesthetic perception and require additional procedures. The article discusses the main factors contributing to color shifts the chemical composition of the pigment, its interaction with the skin and external conditions, including ultraviolet radiation. To minimize the risks, recommendations are offered on the choice of pigment, the technique of its introduction, as well as correction and care methods that will help preserve the initial effect and prolong the beauty of your eyebrows.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the theory of enclosed cognition and describes in detail how the tactile properties of fabric affect a woman's confidence and self-perception. It examines various sensory characteristics of materials, such as softness, roughness, density, elasticity, weight, and temperature, and their ability to form emotional reactions and cognitive attitudes. The author shows that skin contact with certain textures can enhance a sense of security, inner stability, bodily comfort and social expressiveness. It discusses how clothing, due to its physical properties, activates deep associations, affects behavioral scenarios, the quality of self-attitude and the manifestation of confidence in social situations. The article presents practical conclusions that can be useful for psychology, the fashion industry, and women's well-being.

Annotation: This paper explores the evolution of hybrid silhouettes in women's clothing, tracing the path from home comfort to the aesthetics of relaxed luxury. The article analyzes how the pandemic, digitalization and changes in social practices have influenced the formation of new proportions, materials and constructive solutions. The transformation of the aesthetics of the lounge into a direction combining relaxation, functionality and premium is noted. Special attention is paid to design strategies that adapt sports, home and classic elements into a single hybrid code demanded by modern fashion. The article identifies the key features of the new visual norm – soft volumes, refined fabrics and minimalistic details – and their role in shaping the image of comfortable elegance, which has become a symbol of current fashionable behavior.

Annotation: Methodological approaches to user research in product management are examined in the context of early-stage startups. Drawing on practical cases and established frameworks, it is shown how the structure of interviews and question design influence the validity of insights. A significant gap is identified between users’ stated intentions and their actual behavior, often leading to false positives. It is substantiated that behavior-focused qualitative research and bias control function as decision-support mechanisms, and their application should align with the startup’s uncertainty level and resource constraints.

Annotation: Relevance. The relevance of the study is determined by the priority of inclusive education in Ukraine and the specific challenges associated with ensuring quality education for schoolchildren with hearing impairment (SHI). Hearing impairment as a primary sensory defect leads to complex secondary deviations in speech, cognitive, and socio-communicative development. The ability to communicate effectively is the foundation for learning, socialisation, and further integration into society, making the development of communication skills in this category of children a priority direction of corrective-pedagogical support in an inclusive environment. However, in practice, there is a significant contradiction between the legislatively enshrined goal of inclusion and the insufficient methodological provision of teaching staff for its implementation. Existing scientific developments typically focus on individual methods of work, whereas the need for their systematic integration into a holistic model adapted to the conditions of a modern inclusive school remains unmet. The aim of the article is the theoretical substantiation and development of the conceptual foundations of a comprehensive model of corrective-pedagogical support aimed at developing communication skills in SHI in the conditions of inclusive education. Methodology. Based on the analysis of current domestic research on the problem, it was determined that the effective development of communication skills in SHI requires a comprehensive, multidimensional impact. Results. Four key, interrelated directions of corrective-pedagogical support were identified: 1) the development of "soft skills" and direct communication competencies through play-based methods; 2) psychophysical correction and sensory integration to improve balance, coordination, and confident behaviour; 3) the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) for motivation and individualisation of learning; 4) systematic partnership interaction with parents and interdisciplinary collaboration of specialists. On this basis, an original structural-content model of corrective-pedagogical support was developed. The model includes target orientations, principles of implementation, identification of key subjects (inclusion teacher, corrective pedagogue, parents, classmates) and their functions, the sequence of work stages (diagnostic-design, implementation-corrective, reflective-evaluative) and a set of effectiveness criteria. For each of the four directions of the model, the main methods and forms of work were specified with references to empirical evidence of their effectiveness from scientific sources. Separately, a scheme for organising hybrid (offline/online) corrective-pedagogical support was proposed, allowing the model to be adapted to crisis conditions, in particular to the possibility of distance learning. The obtained results allow us to state that the proposed model is a scientific synthesis and systematisation of existing disparate approaches. It integrates data on the effectiveness of play-based methods for developing social interaction, conclusions about the critical role of correcting psychophysical functions for participation in collective activities, evidence of the value of ICT for individualisation, and the principles of family-centredness. Compared to studies that consider these aspects in isolation, the presented model offers a holistic solution that corresponds to the principle of interconnection of all spheres of child development. The model also develops ideas regarding the use of digital tools and parental support in crisis conditions, translating them into the practical plane of a specific organisational-technological mechanism. The reliability of the theoretical foundations of the model is confirmed by references to current empirical research. The main limitation is the theoretical-modelling nature of the work, which determines the need for its further experimental testing. Conclusions. The development of communication skills in schoolchildren with hearing impairment in an inclusive environment is a complex task that requires simultaneous impact on the communicative, cognitive-thinking, emotional-volitional, and psychophysical spheres. The effectiveness of corrective-pedagogical support can be significantly increased by integrating diverse but empirically proven methods (play-based, physical-corrective, ICT-oriented) into a single system built on the principles of interdisciplinarity and partnership with the family. The developed structural-content model represents a theoretically substantiated algorithm of actions for all subjects of the inclusive educational process, ensuring the sequence, purposefulness, and systematic nature of the work. The model has adaptive potential and can be implemented in a hybrid format, which is critically important for ensuring the continuity of education and support for the child in conditions of social instability. The prospects for further research lie in the experimental verification of the model's effectiveness, the development of practice-oriented digital resources for teachers and parents based on it, as well as in studying the impact of such support on the long-term results of social adaptation of students with hearing impairments. Thus, the article contributes to the development of the theory and methodology of inclusive education by integrating existing knowledge into a holistic model of corrective-pedagogical support aimed at a key aspect of the development of a child with hearing impairment – the formation of communication skills.

Annotation: The study is aimed at establishing an architectural and methodological foundation for a unified global platform based on artificial intelligence technologies, intended to automate compliance in the international transportation of animals. The relevance is determined by a systemic mismatch between the rapid scaling of the Pet Travel market (expected volume — $5.3 billion by 2034) and the inertia of the regulatory infrastructure, which relies on fragmented national prescriptions and heterogeneous control procedures. The objective is to transition from the dominant document-centric paradigm to a data-centric ecosystem in which regulatory requirements and logistical events are represented as formalized entities and relationships governed by knowledge graphs and large language models (LLM). The methodological framework is constructed as a hybrid: a system analysis of regulatory requirements of more than 60 states was conducted, econometric modeling tools were applied to identify factors affecting the probability of refusal of transport, and a synthesis of practice-oriented cases reflecting real scenarios of veterinary and transport support was performed. The results obtained show that the implementation of semantic algorithms for data verification and reconciliation increases the completeness and consistency of compliance checks, which makes it possible to reduce the share of transport refusals by 40–50% and simultaneously decrease biosecurity risks through the early detection of regulatory inconsistencies and potentially dangerous deviations in the chain of supporting information. The presented conclusions are relevant for the design and implementation of LegalTech solutions, the activities of veterinary services and logistics operators, as well as for the professional community associated with ensuring animal protection.

Annotation: The traditional response is almost always too late. The very nature of the crisis is changing. It’s faster now. More unpredictable. And our old tools simply can't keep up. When disaster hits, time is everything. And we lose it. Every single time. We lose it while rescue teams are stuck, fighting through ruined roads. And every minute wasted is a life. And here’s the paradox, the author argues. The very tech we associate with destruction — drones — is becoming our single most powerful tool for rescue. This article lays out a new playbook. It’s not just about tech, it’s a new way of thinking. A playbook where drones get there first. First eyes on the disaster. First hands delivering life-saving aid. The first signal reconnecting a world gone dark. The author's methodology isn't just about 'launching a drone.' No. It's about a complete, integrated architecture. This isn't about replacing people. It’s about empowering them. It ties together scouting, logistics, documentation... and—this is key—the ethical rules of the game. This isn't a theory. This system was born from real-world experience, where it's already proven its worth. So, how does it work? It's not magic, it's a clear structure. The author breaks it down into four key parts. Drones for initial assessment. Drones for evacuation and delivery. Drones as a tool for objective documentation. And finally, strict ethical standards to keep it all in check. Bottom line? This model isn't just a tech showcase. It's a shot at rewriting the first few, critical hours after a disaster hits. Turning to waiting and uncertainty... into active, smart, life-saving action. It's about giving people a chance. A chance they never had before.
