Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents diverse educational challenges stemming from its core characteristics in social communication, interaction, and repetitive behaviors. This article explores the efficacy of digital pedagogical resources as assistive technologies for children with ASD. Through a qualitative review of existing literature and an examination of a specific case study (Squizzy application), it investigates various forms of educational software, including mobile applications, augmented reality (AR) tools, and AI-powered robotics, and their applications in enhancing social skills, communication, and academic outcomes. The findings highlight the significant benefits of these technologies in providing individualized, visually-driven, and engaging learning experiences that can supplement traditional therapeutic approaches. The discussion also addresses critical considerations such as the quality and suitability of available software, the complex issue of generalizing learned skills to real-world contexts, prevailing issues of access and equity, and the indispensable role of human intervention and supervision. The article concludes that while these digital tools hold immense potential to foster development and inclusion for children with ASD, their effective and responsible implementation requires careful selection, thoughtful integration into broader intervention strategies, and ongoing research to maximize their long-term impact and address current limitations.

The article presents an analysis of public–private partnership (PPP) models as an instrument of industrialization in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach combining institutional economics, comparative analysis of macroeconomic forecasts and empirical data, and analytical reconstruction of PPP practices. Particular attention is given to comparing the results of computable general equilibrium models with actual data from East and South African countries. It is established that the key constraints are logistical barriers, fragmentation of energy markets, and institutional heterogeneity of national economies. The study shows that public–private partnerships ensure the mobilization of private capital, compensation for limited public resources, and the development of infrastructure and industrial projects. The strategic role of technological and financial mechanisms, such as additive manufacturing and green finance, is highlighted as they provide the foundation for sustainable growth and risk reduction. Comparative analysis confirmed that the effectiveness of PPPs is determined by a combination of institutional harmonization, infrastructure modernization, and the integration of innovative practices. The paper proposes a conceptual framework for improving the effectiveness of PPPs within AfCFTA, including the development of unified partnership models, the adaptation of financing mechanisms, and the use of technological drivers of industrialization. The article will be useful for researchers in international economics, regional integration specialists, experts in infrastructure development, and policymakers developing industrialization strategies in Africa.

This article explores the crucial role of the art of translation as a bridge between language and culture. It emphasizes that the translation process is not merely a word-for-word conversion, but a complex process that takes into account cultural context, nuances of meaning, and linguistic features. The article discusses the translator's tasks, methods of ensuring translation quality, and the impact of modern technologies on the field of translation. It also analyzes the importance of translation in improving communication between different cultures and its role in the era of globalization.
