Annotation: The study is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of the impact of professional photography on the effectiveness of residential real estate sales from the perspectives of marketing, visual design, and urban studies. It examines how high-quality images of properties attract buyers' attention, shape first impressions and trust, and influence both the speed of sale and the final price of a property. The psychological aspects of image perception are analyzed, showing how professional photography can emotionally engage potential buyers and persuade them of a listing’s value. From a design standpoint, the research highlights the importance of composition, lighting, and color in creating appealing interior and exterior visuals. The urban aspect emphasizes the significance of showcasing context - such as the neighborhood, architectural surroundings, and public spaces - through photographs, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of the property. As a result, the study formulates recommendations for an interdisciplinary approach to real estate photography that can significantly improve sales outcomes.

Annotation: The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological aspects of the influence of ballroom dancing on the emotional state of adults. It highlights that ballroom dancing, as a form of socio-motor activity, has a comprehensive positive effect on psycho-emotional health, combining physical activity, emotional self-expression, and social interaction. The results demonstrated that systematic participation in ballroom dancing leads to a significant reduction in psycho-emotional tension, improvement of mood, enhancement of life satisfaction, and activation of cognitive processes. It was also found that dance practices improve body identity, promote self-knowledge, reduce feelings of loneliness, and strengthen interpersonal relationships. Additionally, the positive effect on empathy, coordination, and sensorimotor functions was confirmed. Ballroom dancing is an effective means of psycho-emotional support, contributing to the psychological well-being of adults, particularly in conditions of social or personal stress. Its adaptability to different ages and functional capabilities, combined with cultural universality and accessibility, provides the potential for its broad use as a resource for enhancing quality of life and mental health in the adult population.

Annotation: The modern system of special education is undergoing an active transformation driven by the need to provide a high-quality educational process for students with special educational needs. Traditional approaches, despite their proven effectiveness, often prove inadequate in the face of rapidly changing socio-cultural and technological realities. Consequently, there is a growing demand for innovative methodologies—such as art-therapy practices, sensory integration, game-based and neuropsychological remedial modules, and digital tools—each of which supports the development of cognitive capacities, emotional regulation, and communication skills, thereby creating conditions for a personalized learning path and full inclusion of the child in society. These cutting-edge directions are inherently interdisciplinary and require a high level of professional training for educators, combined with sufficient resource support. Their advantages include increased learning motivation, reduced anxiety levels, improved communicative interaction, and successful integration of students into the educational environment. At the same time, challenges remain—such as staff shortages, limited material and technical resources, and a lack of robust evidence for efficacy. Nevertheless, these obstacles do not impede the rapid growth of inclusive practice and the enhancement of digital competence among teachers, setting the stage for expanded use of innovative tools designed to comprehensively support children with special educational needs. The conclusions drawn here will be of interest both to specialists examining this issue from scientific and medical perspectives and to practicing educators, psychologists, and other professionals working in the field of special education.

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.
