Representación social de la violencia contra las mujeres indígenas en los filmes La teta asustada e Ixcanul Volcano
Authors: Villamañan Alba Maylen , Melgaço Lucas
Published: March 2024

Una de las víctimas recurrentes de la violencia son las mujeres descendientes de los pueblos originarios latinoamericanos. Las películas La teta asustada (Perú, 2009) e Ixcanul (Guatemala, 2015) exploran las representaciones sociales de la violencia contra las mujeres de los grupos originarios. Mediante el método del análisis de contenido son develadas las expresiones de violencia en los filmes. Estas mujeres ostentan a una triple condición de asimetría: su condición de género, la racialización de los pueblos nativos y la precariedad y exclusión social de las locaciones donde residen, mediadas por las relaciones de dominación patriarcales y colonizadoras.

Published: March 2024

The objective of this research work is to analyze the behavior between fiberglass laminate under tensile tests, assembled under different humidity conditions. For which specimens were designed under the regime of the international standard ASTM D3039; which took an assembly process within a controlled environment; the design variables used were relative humidity and curing time. Subsequently, the traction-displacement behavior was checked under a uniaxial force, obtaining the maximum take-off force. In addition, Simpson numerical integration was applied to calculate elastic energy. Obtaining that the relative humidity and the days of curing influence the chemical and mechanical properties of the material. Se shows that the percentage of humidity recommended for assembling laminates in GRP is 66% since it has greater elastic energy and take-off force. Finally, it is concluded that to have a high resistance in the material at least 7 days of curing of the epoxy resin must be applied.

Authors: Musil Luboš , Vesecky Jan , Kubat Jan , Vodicka Jan
Published: March 2024

This paper describes the segregation of fibres in high performance and high strength concretes. It focuses on both laboratory and practical conditions. It compares different mixtures produced and processed in the laboratory and in the precast concrete company. Two methods are chosen in the paper to avoid fibre segregation. The first method is a suitable mix design considering the water/cement ratio and the amount of superplasticizer. The second method is the addition of synthetic fibres to the mixture while maintaining sufficient workability. The paper examines the consistence of each mixture according to the concrete placement location, segregation of fibres in the fresh mixture and hardened composite. Both methods under laboratory and practical conditions have shown a positive impact on the reduction of segregation of steel fibres in the mixture. Simultaneously, the strength properties of all mixtures were compared, which depended mainly on the type of synthetic fibres used.
Replacement of Fine Aggregates in Fine-Grained Concrete by Waste Material from Cetris Boards Production
Authors: Matyskova Kateřina , Bilek Vlastimil , Prochazka Lukáš , Hedlova Radka , Hornakova Marie
Published: March 2024

Given the increasing amount of waste in the world, it is essential not only to reduce waste generation but also to explore potential uses for the waste produced. This includes waste generated in the production of building materials. The construction industry is a significant contributor to global waste and carbon dioxide emissions, making it crucial to address these issues for sustainable development. During the production of CETRIS boards, approximately 7 600 tons of waste are generated annually. One of the waste materials obtained during the board processing is a fine powder. This waste material can potentially be reused in two ways: it can be incorporated back into the process of producing CETRIS boards or utilized in the production of building materials. This research project focuses on examining the possibility of using this waste material as a substitute for fine aggregate in fine-grained concrete. To investigate its viability, the waste material underwent testing for dry density and absorbency. Subsequently, a reference mixture and concretes with different replacement rates (50%, and 100%) of natural fine aggregate were produced to create self-healing concrete mixtures. The study examined the density, and compressive strength of these concrete samples 28 days after concreting. The findings indicated that as the amount of waste material in the concrete increased, the measured properties decreased. However, despite the decrease, the compressive strengths of the concrete remained very high, leading to the classification as high-strength concrete. Further exploration and optimization of the replacement rates could lead to the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable building materials.

Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a complex neurodegenerative condition, presents significant challenges in early and accurate diagnosis. Early prediction of AD severity holds the potential for improved patient care and timely interventions. This research investigates the use of deep learning methodologies to forecast AD severity utilizing data extracted from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans.
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to explore the efficacy of deep learning models in predicting the severity of Alzheimer's disease using MRI data. Traditional diagnostic methods for AD, primarily reliant on cognitive assessments, often lead to late-stage detection. MRI scans offer a non-invasive means to examine brain structure and detect pathological changes associated with AD. However, manual interpretation of these scans is labor-intensive and subject to variability.
METHODS: Various deep learning models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and advanced architectures like DenseNet, VGG16, ResNet50, MobileNet, AlexNet, and Xception, are explored for MRI scan analysis. The performance of these models in predicting AD severity is assessed and compared. Deep learning models autonomously learn hierarchical features from the data, potentially recognizing intricate patterns associated with different AD stages that may be overlooked in manual analysis.
RESULTS: The study evaluates the performance of different deep learning models in predicting AD severity using MRI scans. The results highlight the efficacy of these models in capturing subtle patterns indicative of AD progression. Moreover, the comparison underscores the strengths and limitations of each model, aiding in the selection of appropriate methodologies for AD prognosis.
CONCLUSION: This research contributes to the growing field of AI-driven healthcare by showcasing the potential of deep learning in revolutionizing AD diagnosis and prognosis. The findings emphasize the importance of leveraging advanced technologies, such as deep learning, to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of AD diagnosis. However, challenges remain, including the need for large annotated datasets, model interpretability, and integration into clinical workflows. Continued efforts in this area hold promise for improving the management of AD and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Authors: Prashanth Mallellu Sai , V Uma Maheswari , Aluvalu Rajinikanth , Prasad Kantipudi M V V
Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: Blockchain technology is being investigated as a viable solution due to the industry's growing requirement for accountability and traceability. This study describes a fresh method for tracking down medical products that makes use of a decentralised smart contract network set up on the Ethereum blockchain. In order to enable secure and auditable tracking of health products throughout their lifecycle, the suggested system, named "HealthProductTraceability," makes use of the transparency and immutability of blockchain.
OBJECTIVES: The system uses a "Product" struct to hold pertinent data such the product name, batch number, temperature, producer, and distributors. To quickly get product information depending on the batch number, a mapping is used. The use of tools to manufacture items, send them to distributors, and market them is one significant contribution of this research.By demanding validation tests, such as verifying that batch numbers are unique and exist before carrying out certain activities, these functions protect the integrity of the traceability system.
METHODS: In order to enable interested parties to track the product's travel and temperature changes, the system additionally emits events for product manufacture, distribution, and temperature adjustments. The suggested system is innovative because it can track the temperature of health items from beginning to end on a decentralised, open platform.
RESULTS: By utilising blockchain technology, the system lessens reliance on centralised authorities, fosters stakeholder trust, and minimises the likelihood of fraud, forgery, and tampering in the supply chain for health products. The contract's architecture recognises some of the issues with blockchain technology, including scalability and privacy. By investigating solutions like sidechains, off-chain transactions, and enhancements to consensus methods, scalability issues are solved.
CONCLUSION: In summary, the suggested HealthProductTraceability system offers a creative and practical solution to the traceability issues facing the health product sector. The solution provides improved transparency, security, and accountability by utilising blockchain technology, paving the path for a more dependable and trustworthy health product supply chain. To increase the system's usefulness and adoption in real-world circumstances, further research can investigate scalability and privacy issues.
Smart Control Strategy for Adaptive Management of Islanded Hybrid Microgrids
Authors: Poonkuzhali S , Geetha A
Published: March 2024

This research paper presents a smart power control approach specifically designed for an independent microgrid. The proposed hybrid system consists of various crucial components, including a PV array, super capacitor, DC bus, battery bank, and AC bus working together to generate and store electricity within the microgrid. To address the challenges arising from random fluctuations in ecological parameters and changes in load demand, a supervisory controller is developed to enhance the standalone hybrid microgrid. This allows for optimized power management within the micro grid. The Liebenberg Marquardt algorithm is used to retrieve the trained ANN machine. The two and three hidden layered ANN machines have 96% accuracy on an average, whereas the single-layer ANN machine have poor predictive ability. The proposed model is implemented and analysed using MATLAB/Simulink. The observed results from the simulation experiments validate the effectiveness of integrating available resources in ensuring the resilience and reliability of microgrids.

Heavy Duty Truck and Bus Electrical Circuit Performance Requirement for 12/24-Volt Electric Starter Motors
Authors:   Truck and Bus Electrical Systems Committee
Published: March 2024

The recommended practice describes a design standard that defines the maximum recommended voltage drop of the starting motor main circuits, as well as control system circuits, for 12/24-V starter systems.

The battery technologies used in developing this document include the flooded lead acid, gel cell, and AGM. Starting systems supported by NiCd, Lithium Ion, NiZn, etc., or Ultracaps are not included in this document.

This document is not intended to be updated or modified to include starter motors rated at voltages above the nominal 24-V electrical system. The starter is basically an electrical-to-mechanical power converter. If you double the available battery power in, you double the peak mechanical power out and double the heat losses. This means that we have to pay special attention to how battery power changes when we change the battery voltage and the effects it may have in overpowering the cranking system. A new stand-alone document would need to be developed to address electrical circuit performance for starter motor systems with ratings above the nominal 24-V system.

Assessment of frozen frame recording delay on the basis of vehicle power voltage

Freeze frames are recorded at a changeable delay dependent on the system in which they were recorded, type of failure or vehicle operation parameters. This delay is sometimes difficult to assess, which makes it difficult for the reconstructionists to qualify the data from the frozen frame as useful in the process of event reconstruction. In the paper a method of assessing the recording delay of a frozen frame based on the vehicle power voltage is proposed.

Published: March 2024

The aim of this study is to evaluate the perceptions of leisure boredom of coaches working in different sports branches. The sample group of the study consists of 224 coaches, 173 men, and 51 women, actively working in different sports branches. In the study, in order to determine individuals' perceptions of leisure boredom, a method developed by Weissinger and Iso-Ahola, "Leisure Boredom Scale (LBS)," which was adapted to Turkish culture by Kara et al. (2014), was applied. When the internal consistency coefficients of the Leisure Boredom Scale were examined, it was determined that α = .721 for the boredom sub-dimension and α = 721 for the satisfaction sub-dimension. In order to compare the boredom perceptions of the participant group in terms of different variables, t-Test for Independent Samples and One-way ANOVA were applied. As a result of the analyses, no difference was detected in the coaches' perception of leisure boredom in terms of gender variable (p>.05). No significant difference was detected as a result of the single-factor analysis of variance performed, according to the coaching branch variable of the participant group (p>.05). However, when the results of the single-factor analysis of variance for the coaching experience variable were examined, it was seen that there was a significant difference in the "boredom" and "satisfaction" sub-dimensions according to the experience of the coaches (p
Pertenencia “específica” y modificabilidad de las maneras del ser
Authors: Ivanoff Sabogal Christian
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo despliega la pertenencia “específica” o “más propia” de ciertas maneras del ser (p.e. existencia, ser-a-la-mano) a ciertos entes, tema que Heidegger menciona, pero no profundiza. La exposición se articula en cuatro pasos. Primero, se aclara la confusa con-ceptualidad de las maneras del ser. Segundo, se indaga el vínculo entre las maneras del ser y los entes, considerando a ambos como fenómenos y mostrando en ello la imposibilidad de captar este vínculo y la consecuente pertenencia específica según un “subjetivismo” u “objetivismo”. Tercero, se acredita la propuesta principal de esta investigación, a saber, el rasgo fenoménico, ni subjetivo ni objetivo, de la pertenencia específica de las maneras del ser a los entes y la posibilidad de su modificabilidad. Cuarto, se aborda el existir preteoré-tico del Dasein en cuanto el suelo analítico en que se explicita hermenéutico-fenomenológicamente la pertenencia específica y su modificabilidad.
Ni «vulgar» ni «formal», sino «fenomenológico». El concepto de fenómeno y el oculto Discours de la Méthode heideggeriano
Authors: Portillo Palma Fabián
Published: March 2024

En el parágrafo §7 de Ser y Tiempo Heidegger distingue entre «vulgar», «formal» y «fenomenológico» a propósito del concepto de «fenómeno». El objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar, en primer lugar, que esta diferencia puede entenderse únicamente desde una previa aclaración de los motivos metodológicos del término. Se sostendrá, en segundo lugar, que todo tratamiento temático es al mismo tiempo un tratamiento metodológico, esto es, que la fenomenología hermenéutica de la existencia humana desarrolla y oculta un particular discurso del método.

Published: March 2024

This paper is devoted to the study of a fascinating class of residuated lattices, the so-called mp-residuated lattice, in which any prime ﬁlter contains a unique minimal prime ﬁlter. A combination of algebraic and topological methods is applied to obtain new and structural results on mp-residuated lattices. It is demonstrated that mp-residuated lattices are strongly tied up with the dual hull-kernel topology. Especially, it is shown that a residuated lattice is mp if and only if its minimal prime spectrum, equipped with the dual hull-kernel topology, is Hausdorﬀ if and only if its prime spectrum, equipped with the dual hull-kernel topology, is normal. The class of mp-residuated lattices is characterized by means of pure ﬁlters. It is shown that a residuated lattice is mp if and only if its pure ﬁlters are precisely its minimal prime ﬁlters, if and only if its pure spectrum is homeomorphic to its minimal prime spectrum, equipped with the dual hull-kernel topology.

Published: March 2024

The Miridae Hahn, 1831 family, commonly known as plant bugs, encompasses a significant number of species within the order Hemiptera, with approximately 9800 species identified. These insects are known to pose threats to agricultural crops, leading to their utilization as integrated biological control agents. This study aims to provide a systematic and ecological analysis of the Miridae family, commonly referred to as "Mirid bugs," across various ecosystems in Albania. Biological material was collected over the period from 2021 to 2023. A total of 124 individuals were analyzed, representing 31 species and 21 genera. Among the collected material, the genus Deraeocoris was found to be the most represented, comprising 4 species with a frequency of 12.09%. This suggests that these ecosystems offer optimal conditions for species within this family. The habitats of the Petrela station exhibited a higher species richness compared to other stations, with 12 species and a frequency of 38.71%, while the Ndroqi station recorded fewer species, with 5 species and a frequency of 19.35%. This indicates that the habitats in Petrela provide favorable conditions for Miridae species, with minimal natural alterations observed in these ecosystems. Using the Jaccard index of similarity coefficient, stations such as Dajti with Farka and Krraba with Farka showed a higher similarity coefficient (21.42%). This suggests a resemblance in ecological factors between these stations, indicating similarity in their habitats. Despite the considerable number of species within the Miridae family, the study area exhibited a limited number of species. This limitation may be attributed to economic development in the western part of the country.

Published: March 2024

Background: Analgesics are among the most commonly used over the counter (OTC) medications and are widely available. Yet, their use patterns are not well documented. This study aimed to assess the self-use of OTC analgesics and use patterns in the adult population of the United Arab Emirates. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted in Dubai and Sharjah Emirates among adults aged 18 years and over who were not from healthcare professions. We further conducted a multivariable logistic regression to investigate the factors associated with the use of paracetamol as OTC analgesic. Results: In total, 604 individuals fulfilled the inclusion criteria and answered the survey. Overall, 350 of respondents (58%) were women. The most commonly used analgesic was paracetamol either alone or in combination (n=459, 76%); headache was the main cause for use. Most respondents self-used OTC analgesics less than once a month (n=332, 55%). The majority of respondents (n=314, 52%) never read the patient information leaflets and one-tenth reported taking more than two tablets at once. Use of paracetamol was less common in men compared to women (adjusted odd ratio (aOR) 0.57, 95% confidence Interval (CI) 0.40-0.83) while it was more common in persons with a chronic condition (aOR 1.69, 95%CI 1.15-2.49). Conclusion: Considering that paracetamol and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used and easily available in retail sales and online, and since most users do not read the patient information leaflets, pharmacists can have an important role in educating patients for the rational use of OTC analgesics and to avoid their overuse.

Indo-Pak conflict in South Asia: dynamics of Kashmir issue and the way forward for peace
Authors: Shamim Syed Jazib , Nasim Misbah Mohammad , Ali Tahir
Published: March 2024

India and Pakistan have experienced various military conflicts since their inception in 1947. The Kashmir issue is one of the most pertinent causes of conflict between both nations as they have gone to war in 1948, 1965 and 1999 on the issue of Kashmir. This matter was also brought to the United Nations Security Council for resolution. However, India has categorically refused to seek any international mediation over this issue by terming it as an internal issue of India. Both countries officially joined the nuclear club in May 1998, which posed a severe threat to the security of the South Asian region as it enabled them to use the nuclear option in future. After acquiring atomic status, both countries came close to war in 2001 when armies were deployed on forward positions on international borders and in 2019 when Pakistan shot down the Indian Air Force fighter jet in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Since 2019, especially after India revoked Article 370, relations between the two countries have been dismal. The paper contemplates the background of this conflict and the resultant wars between India and Pakistan and presents confidence-building measures for the pursuit of peace-making in South Asia.

Relying heavily on effective limit checking, Systems for integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) are essential for ensuring launch vehicles are dependable and safe. [1]. The temperature, pressure, and voltage are measured by sensors positioned strategically throughout the vehicle. The data is continuously compared in real time to predefined limitations set by the IVHM system developer. The main task of limit checking is to keep an eye on engine sensor data and spot possible problems when measured values go over or below predetermined boundaries. These problems could result in engine damage or decreased performance. The IVHM system is built to quickly initiate alarms or carry out corrective actions in response, such as modifying engine load, turning on cooling fans, or alerting the driver to fix the issue. Limit checking is optimized by statistical or machine learning algorithms that analyze past sensor readings and operational conditions. By considering variables like normal parameter ranges, the type of vehicle, and external circumstances, this analysis improves upon predefined limits. IVHM systems greatly enhance vehicle performance, reduce failure risk, and enable proactive maintenance interventions through continuous monitoring and analysis within acceptable bounds.

Developing Relationship Between Ambient Temperature and Main Tuning Slide Length of a B-Flat Trumpet
Authors: Tang Pok Fung , Grundish Nicholas
Published: March 2024

Trumpet players rehearse and perform indoors and outdoors. However, large temperature differences in various settings significantly affect pitch. This project investigates how temperature affects the main tuning slide length of a standard B-flat trumpet to produce accurate harmonic pitches, based on the equal tempered chromatic scale. Six experimental trials were conducted, in which temperature sensors and measuring tapes were attached to respective locations on the trumpet. The project report provides a model with a table of values, of the ambient temperatures and corresponding tuning slide lengths for the trumpet player to reference. They can make accurate adjustments to play in tune and enhance intonation, when located in different environments with varying ambient temperatures.

This article posits, simulates, designs, and implements all-optical logic gates that use nano-rings Insulator-Metal-Insulator (IMI) plasmonic waveguides (NOT, OR, AND). The suggested plasmonic gates' structure has been designed and numerically simulated by two dimensions (2-D) structure using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The proposed device's performance is evaluated using four criteria: transmission, modulation depth, extension ratio, and insertion loss. The proposed structure was built with silver and glass materials. The suggested plasmonic gates' functionality was achieved by using the concepts of destructive and constructive interferences. Numerical simulations show that at 1550 nm operating wavelength, the suggested plasmonic gates could be implemented in a single structure with a transmission threshold of (0.5). This device had the following characteristics: transmission exceeding 100% in one state of NOT and exceeding 200% in one state of OR and AND gates, medium and high Extension Ratio values, so small footprint, and very high MD values. Future access to nanophotonic integrated circuits will be made possible by this technology, which is also thought to be a crucial component of all-optical computers.

The development and growth of children are much influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, the impact on children's habits which are often even difficult to control. When bad habits are always seen and felt, their response tends to be very fast and has a tremendous effect. This means that their good and bad habits are severed from habits through the visions and feelings that are present in their lives. This article describes strategies for disciplining children from a practical perspective and child psychology. Writing is done by using a library approach and analyzed descriptively so that readers can do it practically based on the psychology of their respective children. The result is that considering the different characteristics of the child according to the child's age, among them are trying to ignore the child when feeling bad, giving a good time guard, trying to get rid of favorite items by heart, trying to let the child face the consequences of their own actions, trying to express your feelings, try to give choices to children, try to give assignments to children, try to give understanding, try to reflect their behavior and try to reward children's good behavior. In addition to some of the things above, to practice discipline, the principles that must be carried out include setting long-term goals of caring for or educating children, thinking of ways to provide warmth (emotional security, unconditional love, verbal and physical affection) to children, guiding behavior and helping support children's expectations and encouraging children to think independently and understand children's thoughts and feelings.

This paper explores the Islamic perspective on gender equality, emphasizing the harmonious coexistence of rights and responsibilities between men and women in both private and public spheres. The discussion surrounding the theme of gender within an Islamic framework is extensive, particularly regarding the dual role of women within both domestic and public spheres. In Islamic teachings, the fundamental equality of men and women is emphasized, asserting that both genders share equal humanity, devoid of hierarchical privileges. This equality extends to spiritual essence and societal positioning, as elucidated in the Quran. Within the Islamic context, women are liberated from the sole responsibility of providing for their families, as this duty falls upon the husband, thereby ensuring the equitable distribution of familial obligations. Moreover, Islam permits women to engage in livelihood pursuits within the bounds of Islamic jurisprudence, underscoring a balanced approach to gender roles.
AbstrakArtikel ini mengeksplorasi perspektif Islam tentang kesetaraan gender, yang menekankan koeksistensi yang harmonis antara hak dan tanggung jawab antara laki-laki dan perempuan di ranah privat dan publik. Diskusi seputar tema gender dalam kerangka kerja Islam sangat luas, terutama mengenai peran ganda perempuan di ranah domestik dan publik. Dalam ajaran Islam, kesetaraan mendasar antara pria dan wanita ditekankan, dengan menegaskan bahwa kedua jenis kelamin memiliki kemanusiaan yang sama, tanpa hak istimewa hirarkis. Kesetaraan ini mencakup esensi spiritual dan posisi sosial, seperti yang dijelaskan dalam Al-Quran. Dalam konteks Islam, perempuan dibebaskan dari tanggung jawab tunggal untuk menafkahi keluarga mereka, karena tugas ini dibebankan kepada suami, dengan demikian memastikan distribusi kewajiban keluarga yang adil. Selain itu, Islam mengizinkan perempuan untuk terlibat dalam kegiatan mencari nafkah dalam batas-batas yurisprudensi Islam, menggarisbawahi pendekatan yang seimbang terhadap peran gender.
Nikah Mut'ah dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam

Published: March 2024

The historical existence of mut'ah marriage during the time of the Prophet Muhammad is widely acknowledged among Muslims, documented in both Sunni and Shiite sources. While Shia Islam maintains the validity of mut'ah marriage indefinitely, it has been prohibited since the era of the Caliphate in Sunni tradition. This paper aims to elucidate the concept of mut’ah marriage, free from emotional bias or sectarian influences, by examining religious texts and rational arguments. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study conducts an in-depth exploration of scholarly literature and opinions, particularly focusing on the permissibility and prohibition of mut'ah marriages. The findings underscore the Shia school of thought's consistency in affirming the perpetual validity of mut'ah marriage, as no historical or Quranic evidence nullifies its legality. Conversely, the prohibition in Sunni tradition is based on hadith, consensus, and societal concerns, particularly regarding potential harm to women and children born from mut'ah unions. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of mut'ah marriage within Islamic jurisprudence, emphasizing the importance of textual analysis and rational inquiry in interpreting religious laws.
AbstrakEksistensi historis pernikahan mut'ah pada masa Nabi Muhammad diakui secara luas di kalangan umat Islam, yang didokumentasikan dalam sumber-sumber Sunni dan Syiah. Sementara Islam Syiah mempertahankan keabsahan pernikahan mut'ah tanpa batas waktu, pernikahan mut'ah telah dilarang sejak era kekhalifahan dalam tradisi Sunni. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan konsep pernikahan mut'ah, bebas dari bias emosional atau pengaruh sektarian, dengan mengkaji teks-teks agama dan argumen rasional. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif, penelitian ini melakukan eksplorasi mendalam terhadap literatur dan pendapat para ulama, khususnya yang berfokus pada kebolehan dan pelarangan pernikahan mut'ah. Temuan penelitian ini menggarisbawahi konsistensi mazhab Syiah dalam menegaskan keabsahan pernikahan mut'ah, karena tidak ada bukti historis atau Alquran yang membatalkan keabsahannya. Sebaliknya, larangan dalam tradisi Sunni didasarkan pada hadis, konsensus, dan keprihatinan masyarakat, terutama mengenai potensi bahaya bagi perempuan dan anak-anak yang lahir dari pernikahan mut'ah. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang bernuansa tentang pernikahan mut'ah dalam yurisprudensi Islam, yang menekankan pentingnya analisis tekstual dan penyelidikan rasional dalam menafsirkan hukum agama.
