Development of multimodal English translation system based on biomechanics
Authors: Liang Yaodan
Published: February 2025

With the increasing demand for translation quality, improving the translation quality of English translation systems has become a severe challenge. Traditional English translation systems mostly use single-modal information of text for translation, ignore multimodal information such as speech, and fail to combine the biomechanical movement data of the mouth, throat, and tongue, resulting in poor English translation quality. This paper develops an English translation system based on text, speech and biomechanical motion data, using the translation modeling of Transformer and the temporal feature processing advantages of BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory). The study first used MFCC to extract speech features and the spectral features of the audio, and used oral pressure sensors, optical sensors and other sensors to synchronously collect the students’ oral opening angles and lip curvature, vocal cord vibration frequency, glottal opening and closing degree, tongue tip position, tongue back curvature and other biomechanical motion feature data, and then input the features into the BiLSTM model for time series modeling and the time series relationship between speech and biomechanical features. Then, a multimodal Transformers framework was constructed, and text, speech, and biomechanical data were integrated using a weighted fusion method, and the multi-head attention mechanism was combined for translation. Finally, the BiLSTM model and the multimodal Transformers framework were integrated in series, and the module was designed and integrated into the English translation system. The experiment was based on the LibriSpeech ASR corpus. The results showed that the multimodal combination of text + audio + biomechanical information performed best, reaching 0.82, 0.76 and 0.79 in BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE-L indicators respectively, which were 0.06 higher than the multimodal combination without the introduction of biomechanical information, and the loss of emotion transfer was only 0.01. The experimental results show that combining biomechanical information can significantly improve the translation quality of the multimodal English translation system and maintain the original emotion of the language.

Published: February 2025

Exploring the effects of electrical stimulation intervention and hurdle leg stretching on forward kicking in martial arts. This study recruited 15 male students majoring in martial arts from normal universities as the experimental participants. The first test (T1) made the hurdle leg stretch the left and right legs on the yoga mat for 2 min. In the second test (T2), after three days of waiting, the electrotherapy device was utilized to perform NMES intervention on these three muscles for 30 minutes. Subsequently, wear the inertial motion capture system, and try the participant’s best to complete the forward kick. At the instant of toe-off, the T2 of the thigh acceleration, hip joint angle, and thigh angular velocity performs better than T1, and presents a highly significant level. In the forward kicking technique of martial arts, the intervention effect of NMES was better than that of traditional stretching training. The thigh acceleration, thigh angular velocity, and hip joint angle at the instant of leaving the ground are the key techniques of forward kicking. Therefore, NMES technology can be employed as a crucial tool to improve both the flexibility and strength of leg muscles, as well as the quality of forward kicking movements.

Optimization of electric vehicle distribution routes for multiple distribution centers based on biomechanic principles and improved Plant Growth Simulation Algorithm (PGSA)
Authors: Zhou Xingyao , Wan Fujun , Wang Qiaohui , Li Zhongyu
Published: February 2025

This study focuses on the optimization of electric vehicle delivery routes for multiple distribution centers, proposing a dynamic route optimization model based on an improved Plant Growth Simulation Algorithm (PGSA). Inspired by the growth mechanisms of plants in nature, PGSA simulates the growth behavior of plants under light and resource distribution. According to the knowledge of molecular and cellular biomechanics, the growth process of plants can be seen as a series of mechanical and biological responses. By simulating this growth behavior, PGSA optimizes path selection through phototropism and resource acquisition, providing novel insights for the design of electric vehicle delivery routes. This paper enhances PGSA by introducing a variable step-size search mechanism, simulating the pattern of plant branches growing from long to short, gradually narrowing the search scope to improve search efficiency. Simultaneously, it randomly rearranges auxin concentration to mimic the dynamic changes in hormone concentration at plant growth points, enhancing search diversity and avoiding local optima. Through simulation experiments, the improved PGSA significantly reduces computation time and iteration counts when solving large-scale dynamic route optimization problems for multiple distribution centers, offering an efficient and intelligent solution for electric vehicle delivery route optimization. By integrating biological principles with optimization algorithms, this study not only expands the application domain of PGSA but also lays the foundation for further research on bio-inspired algorithms in logistics optimization.

Published: February 2025

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive hypnotherapy on emotional regulation and rumination in divorced individuals. The research method was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group, and the statistical population of this study consisted of all divorced individuals of the First Companion Company in Tehran. Due to the conditions and limitations resulting from the outbreak of the coronavirus, 10 samples in each group and a total of 20 people were selected in a non-random purposeful manner and were divided into two experimental and control groups by drawing lots. The research tools included the Nolen-Hoeksima, Maro, and Fredrickson Ruminative Response Scale and the Gross and John Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Individuals in the experimental group underwent cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy treatment in 10 sessions of 1:15 hours, in other words, a total of 12:30 hours, but no intervention was performed for the control group. At the end of one week after the end of the treatment, a post-test was taken from both groups and the data obtained were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS-21 software. The results of the present study showed that the independent variable, unlike the suppression component, the cognitive appraisal component (P < 0.01, F = 27.96 (16 and 1)) affected emotion regulation. In addition, the use of the Bonferroni test showed that the adjusted means of cognitive appraisal (P < 0.01, SE = 1.30, ∆x̄ = 12.73) in the experimental group increased compared to the control group. Implementing the independent variable at a significance level of 0.01 affected the rumination of the participants in the study (P < 0.01, F = 12.150 (17 and 1)). Comparison of the adjusted means of the two experimental and control groups using the Bonferroni post hoc test showed that the implementation of the independent variable caused the average rumination scores in the experimental group to decrease compared to the control group (p<0.01, SE=1.31, ∆x̄=16.06).

Authors: Chikwema Plaxcedes , Ojuka Andrew , Gaiketse Mothusi
Published: February 2025

This report describes a case of antenatally detected pelvic abdominal cystic mass, bilateral hydronephrosis, and oligohydramnios. Antenatal ultrasound scans could not further characterise the mass but noted debris within the mass. Two likely diagnoses, based on the ultrasound scan findings, were a haemorrhagic ovarian cystic mass and lower urinary tract obstruction with a distended bladder. Neonatal clinical findings and neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a diagnosis of hydrometrocolpos secondary to a transverse vaginal septum. The neonate also had postaxial polydactyly on the right hand and foot. The neonate was vomiting after feeding and could only tolerate very small feeds at a time. She was passing urine and meconium well. A nasogastric tube was inserted and a referral to paediatric surgeons was made. Initial drainage was done 3 days after delivery to relieve pressure effects on the gastrointestinal and urinary systems. The baby was able to feed normally after the surgery. A septectomy was done at 5 months of age and a foley catheter was left in situ for 3 weeks before removal. No cardiac anomalies or any other abnormalities were noted on the neonate. She has been followed up to 10 months of age and has attained appropriate developmental milestones for her age. Molecular tests to establish whether there was a genetic cause to her condition could not be done.

Published: February 2025

L’Emilia-Romagna sta affrontando una trasformazione significativa per conformarsi alla EPBD IV, con l’obiettivo di migliorare l’efficienza energetica degli edifici e ridurre le emissioni di CO₂. La norma richiede nuovi edifici a zero emissioni dal 2030; gli esistenti devono essere meno energivori entro il 2033. La Regione ha introdotto azioni concrete per agevolare la transizione, come l’attuazione del Patto per il Lavoro e per il Clima, volto a favorire investimenti in tecnologie rinnovabili, quali impianti solari, pompe di calore e sistemi di accumulo. L’obiettivo è promuovere la riqualificazione energetica dell’edilizia residenziale, riducendo il fabbisogno energetico e migliorandone le prestazioni. L’articolo esamina, inoltre, le sfide associate alla trasformazione, come la necessità di una formazione più approfondita per i professionisti, il rafforzamento della rete elettrica per supportare la crescente domanda di energia rinnovabile e il ruolo dei gruppi locali di produzione e consumo condiviso di energia verde: essi costituiscono un approccio innovativo per promuovere l’autoproduzione energetica su scala locale contribuendo a ridurre l’impatto ambientale derivante dalla gestione degli edifici. La ricerca evidenzia come l’Emilia-Romagna possa diventare un laboratorio di buone pratiche per la decarbonizzazione del settore edilizio, raggiungendo gli obiettivi di neutralità climatica entro il 2050 e rappresentando un modello per altre regioni italiane ed europee.
Unlocking the potential of offshore wind energy through an AI approach based on satellite insights
Authors: Cervelli G. , Basit A. , Gambarelli L. , Pasta E. , Giorgi G. , Mattiazzo G. , Gulisano A.
Published: February 2025

The Mediterranean Sea holds strategic potential for offshore wind energy essential to decarbonization. However, exploiting this potential requires high-quality, long-term metocean data to support wind farm planning, installation, and operation. The Mediterranean’s distinctive geography, including its islands, archipelagos, and jagged coastlines, complicates the acquisition of accurate metocean information. While in-situ sensors provide high-accuracy data, they lack sufficient spatial and temporal coverage, and traditional numerical models often lack the resolution needed for detailed environmental insights. The approach proposed by the authors, referred to here as MESPAC, addresses these challenges by integrating satellite data with in-situ measurements through AI-driven algorithms, enhancing data reliability and availability. Unlike traditional approaches, where satellite data are occasionally used to validate numerical models without deeper integration, MESPAC positions satellite data as a key source to reconstruct historical conditions and fill space-time data gaps. This approach not only has the potential to provide essential longterm datasets but also shortens project timelines and improves informed decisions, unlocking the Mediterranean’s wind potential to accelerate a sustainable energy transition.

Authors: Kaya Pepele Eda , Nalbant Nilgül , Demirtaş Mehmet
Published: February 2025

Purpose: In this study, treatment planning and hippocampus dose were evaluated by hippocampus-protected radiotherapy planning in whole brain irradiation with Helical Tomotherapy plan. Materials and Methods: In the study, magnetic resonance and computed tomography images were used to contour the PTV, the whole brain, hippocampus and structures at risk (OAR). The optimization volume was drawn by giving a 5 mm margin to the hippocampus. Planning parameters were 1.25 cm jaw width, 3 modulation factors and 0.215 pitch factors. Direction block definitions were entered for the right and left lenses from the structures at risk. Dose calculation was made with the fine dose grid. The dose prescription for the PTV was defined as 30 Gy in 10 fractions. In the PTV evaluation; while the dose received by the 95% volume, Homogeneity Index (HI) and Conformity Index (CI) were evaluated for homogeneity, the RTOG 0933 (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group) protocol was taken as a reference for the structures at risk, and the maximum and median doses of the hippocampus were evaluated considering the reference studies for the hippocampus. Findings and Conclusion: In the whole brain irradiation performed with the helical tomotherapy device while preserving the hippocampus, it was observed that 95% of the PTV volume covered the targeted dose. The parameters indicating the quality of the plan were calculated as HI= 0.21 and CI=1.05. It was observed that the eyes and lenses were below the tolerance doses specified in RTOG. It was found that the maximum and mean doses of the hippocampus were high compared to the reference studies. Since the tomotherapy device allows rapid dose reduction and target dose homogeneity, the hippocampus can be preserved in whole brain irradiation.
Nurses' Experience in Providing Continuity of Care For People With Mental Disorders After Hospitalization in Primary Health Care: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Rizki Widmah Putra
Published: February 2025

Continuity of care for individuals with mental disorders after hospitalization is critical for preventing relapse and promoting long-term recovery, especially within primary health care settings. Nurses play a pivotal role in this process, facing challenges related to workload, resource limitations, and the need for specialized mental health training. This study aimed to explore nurses' experiences in providing continuity of care for patients with mental disorders post-hospitalization. Using a qualitative descriptive design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with registered nurses in primary care, and data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Four main themes emerged from the findings: building therapeutic relationships, resource constraints and workload, professional development needs, and systemic barriers. Nurses emphasized the importance of trust and empathy in patient relationships, but reported that high workloads and limited resources hindered their ability to provide consistent care. Additionally, a lack of specialized training and systemic constraints impacted continuity of care. The study concludes that addressing these barriers through increased funding, expanded training, and policy reforms can enhance continuity of care and improve mental health outcomes. Recommendations include investing in targeted training programs, increasing staffing and resources, and advocating for policy adjustments to support mental health services within primary care.

Published: February 2025

The book of Esther presents a deep understanding of God's providence, even though the Lord's name is not explicitly mentioned. This raises the question of how God's hidden actions can be understood and applied to present-day situations, especially in the face of seemingly random or unexpected challenges. This article aims to explore how God's providence is revealed through events in the Book of Esther and how these principles can be applied in the context of contemporary life, providing an understanding that God always works through individuals and events to fulfill His purposes. This research utilized a qualitative method with a literature review approach. Data was collected from primary sources such as the Book of Esther and secondary references including relevant theological books, Bible commentaries, journals and online articles. Analysis was conducted using inductive reasoning to understand the events in the Book of Esther in the context of God's providence. The results show that God's providence is seen in seemingly coincidental events, such as Esther's appointment as queen, King Ahasuerus' change of heart, as well as the revelation of Haman's evil plan. The book emphasizes that God, although not directly visible, is always present to lead and care for His people. In today's context, this providence inspires courage, faith, and trust in God, especially in difficult or uncertain situations.

Published: February 2025

The research method used is a mixed method by combining qualitative and quantitative research which aims to analyze the conditions of tiger shrimp cultivation in Labakkang District and evaluate the application of technology to improve production efficiency. The data collection techniques used are interviews and observations. Meanwhile, the data analysis techniques used in this study include descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The results show that most farmers still rely on traditional and semi-intensive cultivation systems, which face major challenges in the form of technological limitations, fluctuations in water quality, and high operational costs. Suboptimal water circulation systems in traditional ponds lead to low dissolved oxygen levels and high accumulation of organic waste. The dissolved oxygen level in traditional ponds ranges from 3.5–4.2 mg/L, while in semi-intensive ponds, it is better, namely 4.5–5.0 mg/L. As a solution, the application of biofloc systems is proven to increase productivity and reduce feed costs. Ponds using biofloc technology showed lower ammonia levels (0.01–0.03 mg/L) compared to conventional ponds (0.05–0.08 mg/L), with an increase in production of 30% and a survival rate of 85% of shrimp. In addition, the use of water aeration and recirculation systems showed an increase in dissolved oxygen levels of up to 6.0 mg/L, which improved shrimp health and reduced mortality rates due to environmental stress. More controlled feeding efficiency was also shown to lower feed conversion (FCR) from 1.5 to 1.2, which contributed to increased shrimp growth and reduced operational costs. This study suggests the adoption of modern technology, better water quality management, and feeding efficiency to increase productivity and sustainability of tiger shrimp farming in Labakkang.

The analysis of variance demonstrated a significant (P<0.05) effect of various phosphorous rates on sunflower. The application was comprised of different phosphorous rates, i.e., P=0 kg ha-1 (control), P=42 kg ha-1 (30% < Recommended), P=48 kg ha-1 (20% < Recommended), P=60 kg ha-1 (recommended), P=72 kg ha-1 (20% > Recommended), and P=78 kg ha-1 (30% > Recommended). Statistical analysis showed that varying phosphorous rates significantly impacted sunflower growth and yield when compared to the control level of 0.00 kg ha-1. The test revealed that adding 78 kg ha-1 (30% more than recommended) of phosphorous resulted in the highest plant height (170.59 ± 1.261a), stem girth cm (8.80 ±0.138a), head diameter (cm) plant-1 (8.80 ±0.138a), seeds head-1 (2013.7 ± 2.292a), seed index (1000-seed weight, g) (62.42 ± 0.223a), highest seed weight head-1 (g), (82.54 ± 1.494a), seed yield (kg ha-1) (2401.7 ± 9.643a), and the oil content % (42.49 ± 0.363a). However, phosphorous 0 kg ha-1 (control) demonstrated the minimum results and was observed with plant height cm 146.67 ±0.950e, stem girth 4.78 ±0.152e cm, head diameter (cm) 30.99 ± 0.633e cm, seeds head-1 (1105.7 ± 0.633e), seed index (1000-seeds weight) (41.55 ± 0.696e), seed weight head-1 (g) (62.06 ± 1.115e), and oil content of (32.96 ± 1.644e). The experiment's results demonstrated that a phosphorous rate of 72 kg/ha (20% more than recommended) was suitable for achieving the maximum sunflower yield, as there were no significant differences when the phosphorous level was increased to 78 kg/ha (30% more than recommended).
A Systemic Functional Grammar Analysis of Pecola Breedlove’s Language as a Tragic Female Protagonist in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye

Published: February 2025

This study employed Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) to analyze Pecola Breedlove's language as a tragic female protagonist in Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. While Morrison's work has been extensively analyzed through feminist and postcolonial lenses, limited research has explored how Pecola's language functions as a site of her oppression and marginalization. Specifically, the study aimed to examine Pecola's spoken dialogue by analyzing the process types within the ideational metafunction, mood structure, and pronoun usage within the interpersonal metafunction. Additionally, the study explored how her language reflects her identity as a tragic female protagonist. The results indicated a prevalence of mental and material processes, interrogative and imperative mood structures, and exclusive pronouns in Pecola's language. These linguistic choices depicted her as an emotionally and psychologically burdened character who lacks agency, emphasizing her vulnerability, desperation, and alienation. Together, these features contributed to the development of her tragic characterization. Through the exposure of how language encodes powerlessness, this study offered a fresh linguistic perspective on Pecola's tragic characterization and deepened feminist readings of The Bluest Eye. Future research can build on these findings by applying SFG to other marginalized characters in Morrison's works or across different literary genres, deepening the understanding of how grammatical structures shape meaning and representation in literature.

Para analizar los resultados, se utilizó la prueba estadística de correlación de Spearman, obteniendo un coeficiente de Rho = 0,934, lo que indica una correlación positiva de nivel alto entre la supervisión institucional y la calidad de los servicios de salud. Además, se encontró un valor de p < 0,001, lo que reafirma la significancia estadística de la relación. Los resultados sugieren que una mayor eficacia en la supervisión institucional tiene un impacto directo en la mejora de la calidad de los servicios de salud, ya que el cumplimiento de las normativas y la evaluación continua favorecen la optimización de los procesos hospitalarios. En conclusión, el estudio confirma que la supervisión institucional está significativamente vinculada con la calidad de los servicios de salud. Se recomienda fortalecer las prácticas de supervisión institucional como una estrategia clave para mejorar la atención médica y garantizar la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos en los hospitales.

La investigación examina la importancia de la conservación de fotografías familiares entre estudiantes universitarios, destacando su papel en la formación de la identidad y el bienestar emocional. Se argumenta que estas imágenes no solo son recuerdos personales, sino también narrativas culturales que conectan a los estudiantes con su herencia. La resonancia emocional de las fotografías fomenta un sentido de pertenencia, especialmente en un contexto global donde los valores tradicionales pueden diluirse. La interacción con fotografías familiares permite a los estudiantes explorar sus raíces y fortalecer relaciones interpersonales. Además, estas imágenes sirven como herramientas pedagógicas que enriquecen la comprensión de contextos culturales y sociales, abordando temas como clase y roles de género. El estudio destaca cómo la conservación de fotografías puede ser un acto político, especialmente para grupos marginados, al permitirles reclamar identidades a menudo ignoradas. Se señala que existen desafíos en la preservación de estas imágenes, incluyendo factores emocionales, riesgos ambientales y barreras tecnológicas. A pesar de estos obstáculos, la conservación de fotografías familiares es crucial para el bienestar emocional y la identidad cultural de los estudiantes. En última instancia, el artículo aboga por una mayor concienciación sobre el valor de preservar estos recuerdos para las futuras generaciones.

Helicobacter pylori (H, pylori) is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria infections that presents a substantial concern due to its link with gastric cancer and peptic ulcer. The infected individual usually does not exhibit clinical symptoms; therefore, it is important to understand the risk factors associated with the infection to diagnose and treat it early. Among these risk factors, the association between H pylori infection and season variation is not well understood. The aim of this study is to understanding the prevalence of h pylori infection in Tobruk City, eastern Libya, and its interaction with association factors such as gender, age, and the seasonality of H. pylori this in turn, may lead to a better understanding of other health phenomena such as the seasonal variation of peptic ulcers, that has remained an unresolved mystery for more than 90 years. 2551 samples were processed, using the TECAN Fecal H. pylori Antigen ELISA for the quantitative and qualitative detection of H. pylori antigen in feces. Results show that 33.6% of the cases were positive, and the percentage of infected females (34.1%) was insignificantly greater than that of infected males (32.9%). 34.1% were female and 32.9% were male. The results showed significant (X2= 22.52; P<0.001) association between H. pylori infection and age of the patient, in which the results explained that the highest percentage of infected patients for those aged < 10 years (39.3%) followed by those aged between 31-40 years (33.6%), The results revealed a significant (X2= 100.00; P<0.001) association between H. pylori infection and season of the year in which the highest rate of the infected patient was found during spring season (41.9%), followed by those patients infected during winter (28.1%) and summer (28.1%), however those patients infected during autumn were reported that lowest percentage (11.1%). Further prospective studies are highly recommended to provide further evidence and a clearer picture of H. pylori transmission

İşyerinde ifade özgürlüğünün bir uzantısı olarak kabul edilen ifşa, işçinin işyerindeki ihmal, kötüye kullanım yahut hukuka aykırılıkları işyeri içinde veya sosyal medya, kamuoyu, basın, kolluk birimleri, kamu makamları vb. gibi işyeri
dışındaki yerlerde duyurması, ihbar etmesidir. 2014 yılında, Lüksemburg vergi idaresi ile PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) isimli bağımsız denetim şirketi arasında, uluslararası şirketler adına gerçekleştirilen ve vergilendirme işlemlerine
ilişkin bilgiler içeren özel vergi anlaşmaları, PwC’nin iki çalışanı tarafından basına sızdırılmıştır. Bunun üzerine PwC, ifşayı gerçekleştiren çalışanlar hakkında suç duyurusunda bulunmuş ve ayrıca tazminat davası açmış; akabinde
ikinci kez benzer anlaşmaları bir gazeteye ifşa eden Halet ise, daha önce sızdırılan belgelere benzer olması sebebiyle “ifşacı” olarak değerlendirilemeyeceği gerekçesiyle korumadan faydalanamamış ve hapis cezasına mahkum edilmiştir.
Halet, bu durumun ifade özgürlüğünü ihlal ettiği iddiasıyla Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’ne (AİHM) başvurmuştur. 11 Mayıs 2021 tarihinde AİHM 3. Dairesi tarafından verilen kararda ifade özgürlüğünün ihlal edilmediği

Günümüzde mobbing/psikolojik taciz olarak adlandırılan davranış biçimi kamu ve özel sektörde oldukça anılmaktadır. Mobbing, basit şekliyle bir kişiye sürekli olarak psikolojik veya fiziksel zarar verme amacıyla sistematik olarak uygulanan
taciz ve saldırı şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Herkes tarafından kullanılmaya başlanılan bu kavramın tam olarak anlaşılmaması yahut bu davranışa maruz kalınması hâlinde nasıl hareket edileceğinin bilinmemesi birçok sorunu da beraberinde
getirmektedir. Konumuz açısından ise mobbing kavramının en çok karşılaşıldığı alanlardan birisi de sağlık sektörüdür. Sağlık sektörü içerisinde hemşireler başta olmak üzere neredeyse tüm birim çalışanları mobbing olgusu üzerinden
çeşitli taleplerde bulunmaktadır. Makalemizde öncelikle mobbing kavramının tam olarak anlaşılması sonrasında ise mobbinge maruz kalan yahut maruz kaldığını düşünen hemşirelerin yasal olarak haklarının ne olduğunun açıklanmasına
önem gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca belirtilmelidir ki makale içerisinde her ne kadar mobbingin kapsamını daraltarak sadece hemşireler düzeyinde değerlendirme yapıyorsak da anlatılan hususlar bazı farklılıklar dışında tüm çalışanlar için
aynı süreçlerden geçmektedir.
Capital Market Reactions to the Indian Lok Sabha Elections – An Analysis of 2014, 2019 and 2024
Authors: Dr. Puneet Jain, Dr. Anu Gupta
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the impact of the Indian Lok Sabha elections on the capital market, focusing on the three electoral cycles i.e. 2014, 2019, and 2024. The research study employed the market model and event study methodology to analyze the complete dynamics between electoral outcomes, market sentiment, and investor behavior by using Average Abnormal Returns (AAR). The analysis was based on data available from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and with the NIFTY 50 index as the benchmark of the market. All companies listed on NSE sectoral indices are included in the analysis. The results highlight significant market reactions during election periods, characterized by heightened volatility and sectoral shifts. The study reveals positive abnormal returns during the 2014 elections, negative abnormal returns during the 2019 elections reflecting the cautious investor sentiment despite political continuity, and mixed outcomes in 2024 highlighting changing investor expectations and uncertainties. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of financial markets during elections, offering actionable insights for investors and policymakers. Future research could expand on these findings by integrating global political dynamics and advanced econometric models.
