Annotation: A comprehensive analysis is conducted of how local cultural traditions, dominant aesthetic paradigms, and socio-normative prescriptions shape the development of wedding dress design concepts and influence the formulation of marketing strategies for their introduction to the global arena. The relevance of this study is determined by the irreversible growth in the diversity of consumer preferences and the drive of brands to enter international markets. The objective of the article is to detail and systematize the strategies and mechanisms through which cultural factors affect the processes of constructing and commercializing bridal attire, as well as to identify effective strategies for their cultural adaptation. Attention is focused on the principal semiotic and aesthetic components of design—silhouette, color palette, textile material characteristics, and decorative techniques—and on how these elements acquire symbolic significance within various sociocultural systems. In parallel, a review of marketing approaches is presented, encompassing the transformation of advertising narratives, the selection of optimal communication channels, and the establishment of pricing policies that account for the regional cultural specificities of target audiences. The practical and theoretical significance of the findings lies in the provision of valuable recommendations for specialists in intercultural marketing and fashion design, as well as for enterprises in the bridal industry aiming to secure sustainable development in a globalized market. In conclusion, it is emphasized that understanding and respectfully incorporating local cultural particularities become decisive factors in the competitiveness and long-term success of brands engaged in the creation and sale of wedding dresses.

Annotation: This article examines the impact of different diet types, plant‐based and Western, on the composition and functional state of the gut microbiota, its metabolites, and related immunometabolic processes. The relevance of this study is rooted in the key role of the microbiota as an “auxiliary organ” that synthesizes vitamins, regulates energy metabolism, and shapes immune tolerance through the production of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which account for a substantial portion of interindividual differences attributable specifically to diet. This work aims to systematically describe and quantitatively assess changes in taxonomy, metabolomes, and markers of barrier function and inflammation when switching to plant‐based versus Western dietary patterns, drawing on the latest metagenomic cohorts, intervention studies, and multi‐omic analyses. Methodologically, the study combines metagenomics (shotgun sequencing, 16S rRNA), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of SCFAs, measurement of permeability and inflammation markers (CRP, IL‐6, TNF-α, zonulin, LBP), and multivariate statistical models. The novelty of this work lies in the integration of large‐scale population data with controlled intervention results, which not only confirmed a consistent increase in butyrate‐producing genera and SCFA levels on plant‐based diets but also traced in detail the molecular mechanisms of their anti‐inflammatory action via GPR41/43 receptors and histone deacetylase inhibition, while juxtaposing these effects against dysbiosis, endotoxemia, and chronic inflammation observed with Western‐type diets. This article will be valuable to dietitians, microbiologists, clinical researchers, and preventive medicine specialists interested in evidence‐based microbiota modulation through rational nutrition.

Annotation: This scientific article offers a comprehensive analysis of international legal acts in road safety, their systematization, and the specifics of their application in the modern context. The research traces the evolution of international legal regulation from early 20th-century conventions to contemporary multilateral agreements, assesses the effectiveness of existing mechanisms through comparative legal analysis, and identifies promising directions for development given global transport security challenges. It examines in detail the fundamental international documents regulating the cross-border movement of vehicles, in particular the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968, the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949, and related regulatory acts, including technical regulations, protocols, and recommendations of specialized international organizations such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The article employs doctrinal and empirical research methods to critically analyze the mechanisms of implementing international legal norms into national legislation and the problems of harmonizing different legal systems. Special attention is paid to regional integration processes and their impact on the standardization of road safety requirements across jurisdictions with other legal traditions and socio-economic conditions. The article proposes an innovative theoretical and methodological approach to classifying international legal acts in the studied field, developing an original typology based on criteria of legal force, scope of application, and functional purpose. Based on a systematic analysis of international practice involving data from over 30 countries, key trends in the development of legal regulation of road safety in the context of globalization, digital transformation of transport systems, and integration of autonomous vehicles are identified. The practical significance of the research extends to providing a foundation for legislative improvements and international cooperation initiatives aimed at reducing road traffic fatalities globally. The scientific value of the research lies in its comprehensive approach to studying international legal mechanisms for ensuring road safety and formulating specific proposals for optimizing the processes of implementing global standards in Ukrainian legislation.
