Annotation: This article analyzes approaches to scaling the business of manufacturing protective glass for mobile devices. The stages of the technological chain—mechanical grinding and polishing, ion-exchange chemical tempering, application of multifunctional coatings, and laser edge treatment (LET)—are examined alongside strategies for business expansion in this field. It demonstrates how supply-chain and partner-ecosystem models, together with multicriteria decision analysis (AHP, PROMETHEE), can inform optimal investment and market-selection decisions. A step-by-step industrialization plan—from pilot line to mass production—is outlined, leveraging Lean/Six Sigma and digital IoT/MES solutions. To ensure consistent quality, a comprehensive control system is proposed, incorporating optical inspection and continuous equipment-parameter monitoring. The scientific novelty lies in integrating technological, organizational-management, and digital approaches to achieve sustainable capacity growth without compromising protective-glass quality. The insights presented will interest researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering, operations management of high-tech manufacturing, strategic planning, and venture investment in the consumer-electronics sector.

Annotation: This article explores the problems and challenges of automating the analysis of compliance of software systems with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. The main obstacles are identified, including the lack of standardized formal models of the domain area, the difficulty of identifying domain concepts in code without explicit annotations, the diversity of DDD practices across real-world projects, and the technical limitations of current analysis tools. The paper provides a classification of existing architectural analysis approaches, including static and dynamic code analysis, the use of metadata and annotations, domain knowledge modeling through UML and DSLs, and the application of machine learning methods. Promising research directions are outlined, focusing on the development of formal models and metamodels, the integration of compliance verification into CI/CD processes, and the creation of hybrid analysis methodologies. The study aims to contribute to the foundation for future development of tools ensuring the architectural quality of complex software systems.

Annotation: The organization of the automobile import business plays an important role in the automotive ecosystem. However, the success of this business depends on the organization's ability to effectively manage logistics, satisfy the preferences of local consumers, and maintain strong relationships with both manufacturers and local dealers. In today's dynamic world of international trade, automobile import is a promising area of entrepreneurial activity that requires a comprehensive approach to assessing its economic feasibility. Assessing the economic efficiency of a business related to the import of automotive products requires a multifactorial analysis of market conditions and the company's internal resources. The most important aspect here is the correct ratio of investment costs to the projected profit from the sale of imported vehicles on the domestic market. The purpose of the article is to characterize approaches to assessing the economic efficiency of the automobile import business. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the analysis of approaches to assessing the economic efficiency of the business of importing automobiles will allow the development of necessary directions for improving their efficiency.

Annotation: In the context of the rapid globalization of the world economy, effective brand management across multiple continents is becoming a critical success factor for international corporations. Modern companies are faced with the need for a profound transformation of their management models when entering such complex and diverse markets as the USA, Asia and Europe, each of which has unique cultural, legal and economic features. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of key strategies for adapting brands to various regional conditions, considers modern approaches to cross-cultural marketing and global brand management. Particular attention is paid to a comparative analysis of consumer behavior, regulatory requirements and competitive landscapes in each region. Based on current data for the period 2018–2022, analytical graphs are presented that clearly demonstrate the dynamics of the implementation of international brands in different parts of the world. The results of the study will be especially useful for top managers of international companies, marketers and strategists involved in the development and implementation of global expansion strategies in conditions of high market uncertainty.

Annotation: Objective: To explore key methods for developing grip strength in wrestlers, compare their effectiveness, and offer recommendations for integration into the training process. Methods: Review of scientific literature, observation of practical applications in wrestling training, and testing the effectiveness of methods (dynamometry, hold duration, and forearm fatigue resistance tests). Results: The most effective exercises for developing both isometric and dynamic grip strength were identified. It was found that combining specific grip-focused movements with functional wrestling-based drills improved performance by 17–25% compared to traditional forearm isolation training. Conclusion: Targeted grip strength development enhances wrestling technique effectiveness, reduces injury risk, and improves endurance during bouts.

Annotation: The article discusses the theoretical foundations and practical application of fiber-optic sensors (FOS) for detecting gas leaks and monitoring temperatures at industrial facilities. A comprehensive analysis of the operating principles of FOS, their classification, signal modulation methods, and distributed sensing is carried out. Particular attention is paid to their application in aggressive environments, including in the oil and gas, chemical, and energy industries. The advantages and limitations of the technology are presented, as well as the prospects for its development within the framework of industrial digitalization and the implementation of IoT solutions. Directions for further research, including intelligent signal analysis, increased selectivity, and standardization of application are considered separately.

Annotation: Modern intelligent multidisciplinary digital technologies, incorporating elements of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks, generate numerous complex psychological nuances and product marketing aspects during their development, especially when interacting with TRIZ and ARIZ. The emergence of information technologies and the drastic reduction of the time cycle required to transform an inventive idea into a real, market-demanded, and viable product, along with the increasing complexity of the technical and technological components of new products—which proportionally raises the cost of prototype manufacturing and testing—necessitate a fundamentally new approach to creating technical solutions. These solutions may include auxiliary innovative functions, often non-obvious at first glance. Several fundamental directions have a decisive influence on the fate of new ideas under today's conditions. Taking these into account can ensure a high level of commercial success; conversely, ignoring them may permanently close the path to commercialization of the idea in any form.

Annotation: A real-time active online monitoring system for leather manufacturing processes is presented, fully tailored to the specific requirements of the leather industry. The system employs contactless resonance sensors as a key component, integrated across all stages of hide processing—from soaking (used to remove preservatives, dirt, and blood), liming, hair removal, and deliming to tanning (including vegetable tanning), dyeing, fatliquoring, drying, and finishing. The importance of continuous parameter monitoring in the "dead zones" of technological tanks is highlighted, along with the design of the sensor module (a sleeve with a solenoid coil) and its manufacturing methods, including the application of RITM technologies. The paper outlines approaches to integrating the sensors into the production line and discusses the anticipated benefits: improved uniformity of hide processing and final leather quality, reduced defect rates through timely detection of deviations, and automatic real-time adjustment of processing modes according to raw material properties.
