Annotation: The article presents a design-theoretic analysis of the HUM–MONT model, which integrates humane pedagogy and the Montessori method in the context of developing social and emotional competencies in early childhood. The study is conducted within humanistic and cognitive-developmental frameworks that combine evidence on mechanisms of self-regulation, emotional responsiveness, and the sensory organization of the educational environment. The theoretical foundations of humane pedagogy are rooted in the legacy of Shalva Amonashvili, whose method emphasizes the child’s inner dignity, dialogical communication, and the educator’s moral self-regulation. His principles of empathy-based learning and respect for individuality form the philosophical core of the HUM–MONT framework, linking humanistic values with the structured autonomy of Montessori practice. The work draws on a comparative synthesis of recent international studies focused on the development of executive functions, pedagogical empathy, and the effectiveness of professional development programs for early childhood educators in the field of social-emotional learning. Particular attention is given to substantiating HUM–MONT as a convergent model in which humane-oriented values are combined with the structural autonomy of the Montessori approach, forming a coherent system of micro-practices of emotional interaction. The article elaborates the principles of balancing the educator’s emotional flexibility with environmental orderliness, ensuring the development of self-awareness, responsibility, and a stable emotional climate in the group. The novelty of the study lies in the formulation of HUM–MONT as a normative framework of pedagogical self-regulation that integrates the value-based and operational mechanisms of humane education. The article will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in early childhood pedagogy, developmental psychology, and social-emotional learning programs.

Annotation: The article explores the integration of SEO requirements into the design thinking process of a digital studio, with the aim of synchronizing creative solutions with measurable indicators of page quality and search accessibility. At a theoretical level, it analyzes the applicability of the Double Diamond framework and the d.school's five-step process to the tasks of technical and content optimization, as well as compliance with public search engine guidelines. The empirical part is based on industry guidelines that allow for comparison of design solutions with metrics such as LCP/INP/CLS, CTR, and conversions. The article shows that early integration of SEO in the Empathize and Define stages ensures the identification of search intent and information architecture. During the Ideate and Prototype stages, it prepares "SEO-ready" templates and conducts laboratory testing using the Lighthouse tool. Finally, at the Test stage, it verifies suitability for advanced formats and ensures indexing.. The practical significance of this approach is reflected in reducing technical debt, increasing the predictability of organic demand, and improving the manageability of return on investment (ROMI) and customer acquisition cost (CAC) through transparent quality control measures in continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD).

Annotation: The article discusses the impact of group training on the motivation and mental state of sprinters. It analyzes the psychological mechanisms that contribute to improved athletic performance in group activities. The study shows that group training enhances the internal motivation of athletes through social support, healthy competition, and emotional support. It also notes the positive effect of group interaction on stress reduction and increased self-confidence. Based on the findings, it is suggested that integrating group training into a sprinter's preparation process can help improve their performance and overall mental stability.

Annotation: The article systematizes open approaches to balancing the visual complexity of interfaces with website performance in terms of Core Web Vitals metrics. It explains how the complexity of the visual layer, including media, fonts, animations, and DOM depth, increases the cost of critical rendering and affects LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), INP (First Input Delay), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift). A framework model based on the "perceptual value ↔ computational cost" axis and a taxonomy of strategies for optimizing website performance are proposed. These strategies include adaptive media and font delivery, prioritizing uploads, JS fragmentation and postponement, controlling content visibility, RSC architectures, and other operational optimizations. Evaluation methods (CrUX/RUM, Lighthouse, Element Timing, LCP API, Long Animation Frames), as well as threshold considerations for implementing them in CI/CD, are described. This material is intended for developers and UX performance researchers.
