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 relevance of the study is stipulated by the need to strengthen Ukraine's export potential through the development of local processing of wild-growing raw materials in the context of military destabilization and logistical constraints. The purpose of the article is to comprehensively study the role of processing companies in the formation of added value, taking into account international requirements and principles of sustainable environmental management. The research methodology is based on the analysis of trade statistics, regulatory framework, company cases, and the use of logical-structural and comparative methods. The results of the study show the impact of processing on export growth, employment, and regional diversification. The findings confirm the need for clustering, certification support, and modernization. Prospects are related to the development of economic models and digital tools.

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.
