Dynamic Tensor Reconfiguration in Large Language Models Using Adaptive Contextual Folding
Authors: Aturd Samuel , Roberts James , White Christopher , Walker Samuel
Published: November 2024

Dynamic Tensor Reconfiguration (DTR) emerges as a transformative approach to enhancing the efficiency and adaptability of large language models (LLMs). By dynamically adjusting tensor structures during inference, DTR achieves significant reductions in computational latency and energy consumption, thereby facilitating more sustainable and cost-effective deployment of LLMs. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that DTR not only accelerates processing times but also maintains, and in some cases improves, accuracy across a diverse array of natural language processing tasks. The scalability assessment reveals that DTR effectively leverages parallel processing capabilities, enabling the model to sustain high performance levels as the number of processing units increases. Furthermore, robustness analysis indicates that DTR enhances the model's resilience to input perturbations, a critical attribute for real-world applications where data variability is prevalent. The adaptability assessment underscores DTR's versatility, as evidenced by improved performance across tasks such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and machine translation. The energy consumption analysis highlights a consistent reduction in power usage, underscoring the efficiency of DTR in optimizing computational processes. The integration of DTR into existing LLM architectures necessitates modifications, which may pose challenges in terms of compatibility with pre-trained models or those with rigid structural constraints. Nonetheless, the potential benefits of DTR in enhancing the performance and efficiency of LLMs are substantial, offering a promising avenue for addressing the computational challenges inherent in scaling LLMs. The findings presented herein suggest that DTR offers a viable solution for optimizing LLM performance, with implications that extend to various applications within the field of artificial intelligence.
A Cappella “On the Stork Tower” (登鹳雀楼) : Choir Guide
Authors: Fu Qingyuan , Cui Zhijie , Tian Siyu , Tan Huibing
Published: November 2024

“On the Stork Tower” is A Cappella, a secular music composed by Huibing Tan (谭会兵). The lyric is well-known Chinese classic poem. Stork Bird Tower is located in Puzhou Town, Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province(山西省运城市永济市蒲州镇). Stork Bird Tower was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in the first year of Jin Yuanguang (金元光元年1222) was destroyed by fire, in December 1997. Stork Bird Tower was rebuilt, with a total construction area of 33,206 square meters and a total weight of 58,000 tons. On October 1, 2002, the Stork House was officially opened to visitors. “On the Stork Tower”(《登鹳雀楼》) was written by Chinese poet Wang Zhihuan (王之涣, 688-742) during the glorious age of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It has been a famous classic literary work. The poem "On the Stork Tower"(Tr. by 许渊冲): “The sun beyond the mountains glows; The Yellow River seawards flows. You can enjoy a grander sight; By climbing to a greater height”. The poem "On the Stork Tower" is an important heritage of traditional culture, and the poem " You can enjoy a grander sight; By climbing to a greater height " is also a classic golden verse for modern Chinese to express humanistic feelings and spiritual philosophy. Choosing a choral genre for a 20-word poem with music is somewhat challenging. The work was conceived with some references to classical Western choral writing methods. For example, in the movement 21 of Handel's "Messiah", there are only two lines "His yoke is easy, and his burthen is light", and the second movement of Mozart's "Requiem", Kyrie, the line "Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison." There are only 6 words, two of which are repetitive words. The piece conducted by Yuanqing Fu(伏庆元) was performed by the Staff Youth Chorus at Taiyuan Workers' Cultural Center. The carol music was analyzed with phrase by phrase. The paper can be used as choir guide for rehearsal and performance.
First Do No Harm Is Proverbial, Not Hippocratic
Authors: Suss Richard A.
Published: November 2024

The inherent risks of effective medical treatments might seem incompatible with“First do no harm” and “Primum non nocere.” We know not to take these mottosliterally, yet they lurk to potentially inhibit care or foster blame. Classical authoritieswho caution against harm qualify its proscription by intent and prioritize beneficence.Distorting presumed Hippocratic sources, the mottos would mistranslate a passage fromhis Oath or misrepresent a maxim from his Epidemics Book I whose full meaning is,essentially, “Help or don’t harm.” In commentaries on Epidemics, Galen of Pergamonand Hunayn ibn Ishâq successively expand upon Hippocrates’s terse maxim as itprioritizes “Help” and concords with his Oath. An extensive survey of translationsand commentary finds no basis for the mottos in ancient medical authority. Insteadthey apparently developed proverbially. Rather than literal dicta, proverbs and the likeare a motley contradictory collection of facile ideas that are wise only when well chosenafter deliberation on the issue at hand. Overemphasis on “no harm” may come fromexcess risk aversion and fear of regret, which the active side of a choice augments.The mottos might then excuse or promote therapeutic nihilism and work against acourse with probable or net expected benefit. Passing up this kind of benefit defiesclassical authority since Hippocrates. An initial Synopsis and a brief Conclusionreflect on a detailed compilation and analysis set forth between them that is offeredfor intensive inspection or for eclectic curiosity.
Pitfalls of imputing using incomplete auxiliary variables
Authors: Mathur Maya B , Shpitser Ilya
Published: November 2024

We respond to Madley-Dowd et al's recent article in American Journal of Epidemiology. We show that standard imputation algorithms can fail for simple graphs (such as those used in Madley-Dowd et al's simulation study) even when the full data distribution is identified and an appropriate imputation estimator would be straightforward to design.

Proper data visualization helps researchers draw correct conclusions from their data and facilitates a more complete and transparent report of the results. In factorial designs, so-called raincloud plots have recently attracted attention as a particularly informative data visualization technique; raincloud plots can simultaneously show summary statistics (i.e., a box plot), a density estimate (i.e., the cloud), and the individual data points (i.e., the raindrops). Here we first present a ‘raincloud quartet’ that underscores the added value of raincloud plots over the traditional presentation of means and confidence intervals. The added value of raincloud plots appears to be increasingly recognized by cognitive psychologists: a focused literature review shows that the prevalence of raincloud-style plots in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review has risen from 2% in 2013 to 37% in 2023. To further encourage this trend and make raincloud plotting easy and practical for a broader group of researchers and students, we have recently implemented a comprehensive suite of raincloud plots in JASP. Examples from two factorial research designs illustrate how these raincloud plots support a correct and comprehensive interpretation of the data.

Effect size estimation is crucial for power analyses and experimental design, but poses unique challenges in fMRI research due to the complexity of the data and analysis techniques. Here, we utilized large fMRI datasets to obtain precise univariate and multivariate effect size estimates from “typical” fMRI study designs: brain-behavior correlation, task vs. rest, and between-group analyses of functional connectivity and task-based activation maps. We provide an interactive web application for exploring these effect maps (neuroprismlab.shinyapps.io/effect_size_shiny). The app is intentionally designed as a growing resource and we welcome contributions from large (n > 500) datasets.
Petrological characterisation of magma storage
Authors: Ubide Teresa , Wieser Penny , Bachmann Olivier , Gualda Guilherme , Neave David , Samaniego Pablo , Kent Adam
Published: November 2024

Magma storage modulates the explosivity, frequency, and impact of volcanic eruptions, and controls the formation of magmatic-hydrothermal mineral deposits. The architecture of magma storage and plumbing systems, and their eruption triggering mechanisms, are inaccessible to direct observation in active volcanoes. However, they can be accessed through the study of products of volcanic eruptions: volcanic rocks and the crystal, melt, and gas records they contain. This chapter explores the texture and composition of volcanic rocks (and their plutonic cargoes) to better understand pre-eruptive magma storage and transfer from storage to eruption. We take a rock-centred approach to understanding magma-mush storage systems feeding volcanism, discussing traditional as well as new approaches, and their implications for volcano monitoring efforts.

Authors: Driver Charles C
Published: November 2024

In this tutorial, we will use R for generating data, lme4 and ctsem for model fitting, and consider (hypothetical) affective dynamics over time of couples throughout therapy. We will start with a simple linear model and gradually increase complexity, incorporating interaction between partners and therapy treatments. The aim of this tutorial is a general demonstration on the concepts of developing theory based statistical models of change / dynamics, generating such data in R, and fitting such models with ctsem. Details on lme4 along the way are mostly a vehicle to understand the models. This workis far from complete at present but hopefully still useful.

Exogenous (outward-directed) and endogenous (inward-directed) neural systems are essential for cognition and behavior. However, how they are altered in neurodiverse (ND) children remains unanswered in part due to heterogeneity. Sensory over-responsivity (SOR) serves as a quintessential paradigm to investigate the interaction between exogenous and endogenous brain networks especially in comparison to other forms of sensory processing disorders (SPD). We find that ND children with SOR have reduced exogenous and elevated endogenous functional MRI connectivity which is diametrically opposed to ND children without SOR. Furthermore, this double dissociation is specific to ND children who are behaviorally resilient, while emotionally dysregulated ND children possess a distinct pattern, suggesting that achieving optimal brain system connectivity—a balanced contrast—is influenced by sensory over-responsivity and essential for resilience.

Higher Motivation and Pleasure Scores Predict More Reliance on Model-Free Decision-Making
Authors: Karthik Swathi , Pereira Katherine , Culbreth Adam , Barch Deanna , Moran Erin K.
Published: November 2024

Decision-making is driven by factors such as motivation, pleasure, and cognitive skill. The current study evaluates how these factors are related to decision-making in a community population. In recent years, work in the field of reinforcement learning has identified two main pathways that drive decision-making: model-based and model-free learning. Model-free learning updates action values retrospectively, after a reward is received. In contrast, model-based learning updates action values prospectively, by weighing contextual factors, the overall structure of the situation, and reward received. The current study utilizes a two-stage decision-making task to assess the relative contribution of model-free vs model-based learning in relation to measures that assess motivation, pleasure, and cognition in a community sample (n=127). General linear mixed effect models showed that individuals high in motivation and pleasure had significantly greater reliance on model-free decision making (p=0.0267). In contrast, individuals with better working memory, as measured by a running span task, had significantly greater reliance on model-based learning (p=0.0003). These findings provide evidence that individual differences in motivation and cognition are associated with reliance on particular learning pathways. It has been suggested that lower levels of motivation, pleasure, and cognition in various forms of psychopathology (e.g., depression) can impair decision-making. Our results show these relationships transcend clinical contexts. Specifically, these findings suggest that individuals who experience low motivation and pleasure may be less sensitive to immediate rewards, and that working memory capacity is highly relevant to model-based learning.
FinTech and Financial Inclusion: Exploring the Mediating Role of Digital Financial Literacy in Enhancing Access to Financial Services
Authors: Adhikari Madhav , Ghimire Dinesh Mani , Lama Anil Dong
Published: November 2024

Purpose – With consideration for the mediating function that digital financial literacy plays in the region, the study's goal is to determine how FinTech adoption may promote financial inclusion in the Kathmandu Valley. The three original constructs of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), namely performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), and social influence (SI), were integrated with three additional factors - trust (TR), perceived security (PS), and service quality (SQ) of the Value-based Adoption Model (VAM), to create a conceptual framework.
Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative method was employed to gather data from 312 FinTech users through the use of a cross-sectional questionnaire. Microsoft Excel and the SPSS software were used to examine the data. The research designs used were correlational and causal comparative.
Findings – The findings revealed that FinTech use has a significant correlation between each variable. Also, TR, SQ, PS, PE, and EE have a substantial impact on the adoption of FinTech use. While SI doesn’t have a substantial impact on the adoption of FinTech services. Additionally, the study shows that DFL has a mediating role in FU and FI.
Conclusion – This study provides significant details on the complex relationship between FinTech adoption and financial inclusion and demonstrates how FinTech adoption increases people's access to formal financial services, which in turn promotes financial inclusion. Along with highlighting its significance in the possible expansion of FinTech usage, the study also emphasizes the mediating role that digital financial literacy plays.
Implications – Policymakers and FinTech service providers may find this study useful in better understanding the relatively low adoption rate of FinTech and in creating plans to increase user acceptance in the Kathmandu Valley.
Originality – This study contributes to the exploration of FinTech's potential to promote financial inclusion with a focus on the mediating role of digital financial literacy in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley.

Authors: Chaudhary Manoj Kumar , Chaudhary Rajesh Kumar , Pokharel Pramila
Published: November 2024

Purpose – The purpose of the study is to investigate how customer purchase decisions are impacted by green marketing. It specifically looks at how important elements like environmental awareness, eco-labeling, eco-friendly packaging, eco-advertising, and sustainable pricing impact customers' propensity to buy eco-friendly goods. By examining these components, the study attempts to provide insightful information on how these components influence consumers' opinions about environmentally friendly goods.
Design/methodology/approach – The research adopted a quantitative approach based on the survey conducted among 341 customers of green products. A structured questionnaire featuring 5-point Likert scale items were used to collect the first-hand data. The collected raw data were processed through MS-Excel and SPSS. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis have been used to analyze the data and validate the generated hypothesis.
Findings and Conclusion – Regression analysis revealed that customers' decisions to buy green products are noticeably affected by green marketing. Environmental awareness, eco-labeling, green pricing, and green packaging are the important variables that have a significant impact on consumer purchasing decisions. The study indicates that green marketing has a critical role in shaping consumer preferences because of the increasing demand for eco-friendly products. Therefore, firms in Nepal can improve profitability and competitiveness while also helping to preserve the environment when sustainable practices successfully combine with green marketing techniques.
Implications – Companies producing green products can use the study's findings to improve their green marketing strategies by emphasizing on green marketing tools. Customers are becoming more aware of green certifications and ingredients; therefore, transparency is essential to preventing greenwashing.  Offering true sustainable products with solid environmental claims should be a top priority for businesses. Government regulations need to encourage companies to use sustainable practices and promote the preservation of the environment. This study highlights the mutual obligation of businesses and customers to save the environment, while also offering managers an outline for boosting reputation, profitability, and competitiveness.

Angielski przekład Wojny polsko-ruskiej pod flagą biało-czerwoną w perspektywie teorii postkolonialnej
Authors: Czarnecka Mira
Published: November 2024

Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie tłumaczenia na język angielski wydanej w Polsce w roku 2002 Wojny polsko-ruskiej pod flagą biało-czerwoną autorstwa Doroty Masłowskiej. Badanie usytuowano w kontekście postkolonialnej teorii przekładu i przeprowadzono z perspektywy kultury przyjmującej. Dokonana analiza prowadzi do wniosków, że Benjamin Paloff, podejmując decyzje translatorskie, częściej wybierał metodę udomowienia niż egzotyzacji, co spowodowało częściowe zatarcie w przekładzie cech kultury źródłowej obecnych w oryginale.

Artykuł poświęcony jest relacji poiędzy formalną regularnością wiersza a jego semantyką w tłumaczeniu. Autor stawia tezę, że najczęściej używaną techniką zmierzającą do zachowania równowagi między dążeniem do regularmości i semantyką wiersza w przekładzie jest metaforyczne (etafora właściwa, synekdocha, metonimia) przekształcanie tekstu. Techniki te umożliwiają rekonstruowanie ryu i rytmu oryginału w przekładzie. Twierdzenie to ilustrowane jest tłumaczeniami poesji polskiej na język rosyjski i rosyjskiej/angielskiej na język polski.

Authors: Amshennikova I.V. , Evstigneeva I.V.
Published: November 2024

In the modern world swimming, the first serious success on a sports arena is no longer considered to be a pinnacle of a swimmer’s sports career and should not be counted as a finish of life-long training. On the contrary, it is the initial step that can be followed by a long cycle of successful performances, accompanied by managing to hold the existing results and further improvement.
The article analyzes the age of male swimmers of the Ukrainian national swimming team between 2021 and 2024. It also considers their compliance with favorable zones for gaining the first success and achieving maximum application of individual abilities. It has been stated that over the past four years, the main line-up of the Ukrainian national swimming team has mostly consisted of 17-22- year-old swimmers. After the age of 21 and above, while the athletes’ results are expected to increase due to the maturation of physical and functional indicators. However, an opposite significant decline in the achievements of the national team has been marked and it has been stated that only 20% of sportsmen manage to remain among the strongest athletes in a team.
Taking all the facts into consideration, athletes are being concerned to be exposed to highly intensive accelerated physical training, which results in a rapid increase in sports achievements among teenagers and adolescents.
The article emphasizes the importance of youth competitions organization that provide achievement of educational and cultural goals. Whereas, the results gained at them should be regarded only as an intermediate stage of long-term sports development. Conclusions have been drawn in the article about the need to avoid harmful effects of the exploitation of talented young athletes of Ukraine that leads to intensifying of their regular training. This fact is associated with the violation of laws and principles that are meant to be the base of a rational long-term training.

Authors: Arefiev V.G. , Salamakha O.E.
Published: November 2024

The study of physical development of students of different levels of physical health is important for justification of differentiated physical activity. Objective: to study the interaction of physical health and physical development in students of the main medical group. Material and methods: First- and second-year higher education students (40 boys and 62 girls) took part in the study. These students were chosen due to their low physical fitness. The study used the analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological sources, anthropometry, express assessment of physical health, and sample statistical method. Conclusions: The results of the study showed the lack of expected interaction between these two indicators, i.e. the student with harmonious physical development necessarily has normal health and vice versa. The percentage of students with disharmonious physical development was 90-95% among students with above-average physical health and 75-85% among students with other levels of physical health. The main reason for such a state of physical development was inadequate body weight (underweight or overweight). This fact should be taken into account for the purpose of additional use of special long-term physical exercises and strength training. In the course of physical education of students, when applying physical training, it is necessary to consider primarily the level of their physical health.

Published: November 2024

Everyone can feel tired at times during the week, and the reasons for this are often quite obvious, including late nights, early starts, sleep disturbances or stress. But some students feel tired all the time, despite a good night's sleep. Constant tiredness and exhaustion are not normal and can be detrimental to mental and physical health.
Lack of sleep due to stress is a serious problem among students. This condition has many negative consequences for health and academic performance. Consider the impact of stress on students' sleep and how it affects their lives.
The impact of stress on students' sleep in its manifestation has the following effects: physiological effects of stress: increased cortisol levels, stress causes the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that makes it difficult to relax and fall asleep. The sympathetic nervous system also reacts, its activation due to stress leads to increased heart rate and increased readiness of the body for action, which prevents falling asleep. The psychological effects of stress are manifested by a state of worry and anxiety, stress is often accompanied by thoughts about problems and future tasks that prevent relaxation. Long-term stress can lead to depressive states, which negatively affect the quality of sleep. Social and behavioral factors are revealed through the academic load, high demands of learning, preparing for exams and performing tasks that increase the level of stress. Often, due to studies and social life, students neglect a regular sleep schedule, which worsens its quality and disrupts the daytime routine itself. There are major consequences of lack of sleep, which are manifested due to a decrease in immunity, chronic lack of sleep reduces the body's resistance to infections. There is a great risk of diseases. Lack of sleep is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Cognitive disorders are reflected in mental health. Lack of sleep impairs memory, concentration and learning ability. Emotional instability leads to lack of sleep, increases feelings of anxiety, depression and irritability. Academic success is also not on the sidelines: the effectiveness of learning is significantly reduced. Lack of sleep affects the ability to absorb new information and reduces productivity. Poor performance appears: Students who suffer from sleep deprivation often perform the worst in exams and in studies in general.

Authors: Nesterchuk N. , Rebrov V. V. , Khomovska K. O.
Published: November 2024

The aim of the article was to evaluate the dynamics of impairment of activity and participation in patients after cholecystectomy according to the ICF classification under the influence of a physical rehabilitation program. The study involved 46 people aged 25 to 60 years, who were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (CG) (n=20), who took only medications, and a main group (MG) (n=26), where people were engaged in hydrokinesitherapy (3 months, 2 times a week of moderate intensity, session duration 40 minutes) and received medication. To assess activity and participation, a biopsychosocial model based on ICF, disability, and health was used. Methods of statistical analysis depending on the distribution of the statistical sample using Student's parametric criteria. The results were considered reliable at p<0,05.
The results showed that patients in group I were able to walk longer distances by 17.3% (p<0,05), and in group II - by 38.5% (p<0,01), which reflected their endurance in everyday life after rehabilitation. Patients of group I were able to control their bowel movements by 23.6% (p<0,05), and patients of group II by 31.7% (p<0,01), which created physical comfort in both groups, respectively, by 21.4% and 33.1% (p<0,05, p<0,001). Patients of group I managed to adhere to a diet and a healthy lifestyle, maintain their health by 17.2% and 40.5% (p<0,05), and patients of group II - by 32.6% and 51.5% (p<0,01). In everyday life, patients of group I were able to do household chores and maintain relationships - by 41.3% and 23.0% (p<0,05), and group II - by 43.9% and 27.4% (p<0,01), respectively. 44.1% of patients in group I managed to return to full-time work, and 63.7% in group II (p<0,01, p<0,001). Family support was maximized in patients of group II by 30.1%, compared to group I (19.0%), (p<0,01, p<0,05).
Conclusions. The study proved that the program of physical rehabilitation with the inclusion of hydrokinesiotherapy has a more positive dynamics of activity and participation of patients in everyday life (p<0,001), and, accordingly, on the quality of life of such patients, as opposed to conventional medical treatment.

Success in esports is determined by a complex interaction of various factors, such as technical skills, strategic thinking, psychological resilience and teamwork. These elements are fundamental to the preparation of players and teams, and taking them into account allows for a comprehensive approach to analysis and training. Effective management of resources, such as time, money and energy, helps to increase productivity. In a changing esports environment, adaptation and continuous skill development ensure competitiveness and increase the chances of success. The quality of esports competitions is determined by the influence of various factors that create a positive and professional environment for players, spectators and other participants. These factors can be divided into objective (such as technical support, competition format, number of kills or damage) and subjective (emotional state of players, stress or concentration level). Comprehensive analysis and consideration of both groups of factors are critical to fully assessing team performance. The expert assessment allowed us to identify key aspects of the success of teams in esports. To succeed in esports, it is important to consider both objective and subjective factors that affect team performance. The greatest impact on success is made by player skills, team communication, physical abilities, as well as technical support and strategic planning. Psychological resilience and the ability to cope with stress are also critical to winning competitions. At the same time, organisational support and squad management have a secondary impact, but contribute to the long-term success of the team. To maximise results, a comprehensive approach to all aspects of training is essential.
Istnienie Senatu w Polsce
Authors: Zwolak Sławomir
Published: November 2024

Senat jest od wieków zakorzeniony w Polskim systemie ustrojowym. Powołany do istnienia w 1989 r. w wymiarze politycznym, był ważną koncesją udzieloną na rzecz opozycji, który miał balansować wybrany w niedemokratycznej procedurze Sejm. Od początków był wiązany z symbolem suwerenności Rzeczypospolitej. Równocześnie restytucja Senatu dokonana została bez pomysłu na jego funkcjonowanie, która zrodziła wątpliwości co do samego istnienia, jego miejsca i roli. Obecnie najczęściej powoływanym argumentem na rzecz istnienia Senatu jest jego rola w procesie stanowienia prawa. Niestety brak szczegółowym badań empirycznych i analiz przepisów nie pozwalają z całą stanowczością zweryfikować tezy o potrzebie istnienia Senatu. Na przestrzeni ostatnich kilku lat, zostały zarysowane dodatkowe kompetencje Senatu, które wpływają na jego podmiotowość tj. udział w sprawach z zakresu UE, rozpatrywanie petycji obywateli oraz korzystanie z inicjatywy ustawodawczej nastawionej na porządkowanie systemu prawnego poprzez dostosowanie prawa do wyroków Trybunału Konstytucyjnego.

Published: November 2024

The article examines the issue of substantiation of filter selection methods to increase the efficiency of multi-level recurrent time-frequency segmentation in cognitive telecommunication systems. The main attention is paid to the analysis of signal filtering methods to improve the quality of data transmission in the dynamic conditions of the radio environment. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of various filtering methods for segmentation of ensembles of complex signals. The methods described in the article include Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel, Kaiser, elliptic, and hybrid filters. Experiments have shown that different filters have their own unique advantages: Butterworth filters provide a smooth frequency response without ripple in the passband, which reduces signal distortion, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to 45 dB and reducing harmonic distortion to 0.05%. Chebyshev filters, thanks to the steep rolloff in the stopband, increased the SNR to 40 dB, although they have ripples in the passband, which can lead to some phase distortion, with a harmonic distortion reduction of up to 0.07%. Bessel filters minimize phase distortion, providing the lowest group delay (0.04 ms) of any filter, increasing SNR to 42 dB and reducing harmonic distortion to 0.04%. Kaiser filters provide high tuning flexibility, increasing SNR to 44 dB and reducing harmonic distortion to 0.06%, with a group delay of 0.05 ms, which is acceptable for the balance between signal quality and delay. Elliptical filters showed the best SNR improvement up to 48 dB and the lowest harmonic distortion (0.03%), providing ripple levels in both the passband and stopband, making them effective for accurate separation of frequency components. Hybrid filters (Butterworth and Chebyshev) provide the highest level of SNR improvement up to 50 dB, minimum harmonic distortion of 0.02% and optimal adaptability in dynamic environments. The obtained results can be used for the development of more effective cognitive radio networks capable of working in the conditions of a dynamic radio frequency environment. Further research should focus on the development of new hybrid filters and machine learning algorithms to automatically adjust filter parameters in real time, as well as investigating the effect of different types of interference on filtering performance.
