Published: April 2023

The perfect Printed Circuit Board (PCB) plays a very important role in every electronic device as well as in automation systems. So, it is very important to find defects in the PCB before installing it to any system or any device. However, PCB Manufacturers use various inspection systems in the process of manufacturing PCBs for detecting various types of defects in the PCB. In this article, we present the Automated assembled PCB Inspection System. This system finds defects such as missing components and improper position of its components by using the Pattern matching Technique where a good known score of template image is matched with the score of the test image. This system gives results at each inspection within 10 Seconds and the result given by this system are passed or fail in the form of an array sheet. This automated inspection system is created by using NI Vision Builder AI and NI LabVIEW technology. Ni Vision Builder AI has been used to create the algorithm. And NI LabVIEW has been used to create the application.

We all are aware of the current situation of Covid-19 in the world, and in this situation, the Education system is one of the most badly affected systems of all. The traditional teaching of chalk and board have turned to presentations from laptops. But sometimes the new method of presentations are not convenient for teaching some subjects. So, this proposed system will be a bridge from the traditional method of chalk and board to the live lecture online. In this proposed system, the educationist can use the traditional method to teach which will be live-streamed and also, be recorded and stored on the educator’s laptop for future usage, these videos will be live and with the use of MATLAB R2014a codes, the video will be auto cropped so that it will be clear and focused on the required position at the receiving end i.e. students. Simultaneously, the video is converted into frames and from these frames, the content written on the board will be extracted and converted in the form of notes or study material for the students using Python 3. All these processes are done using Image processing.
A Study on the Legal Character of Museums and Art Museums under the Promotion Law for Museum and Art Museums of Korea: Focusing on Non-for-Profit Character
Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Park Kyoung-Shin
Published: April 2023

In August 2022, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) held a general meeting and adopted a new museum definition, which emphasized “diversity”, “sustainability”, and “ethics”, while the expression of “non-profit” was changed to “not-for-profit”. Discussions on non-profit or not-for-profit of museums and art museums are not new, but discussions on whether non-profit or not-for-profit is a prerequisite for museums and galleries under the Promotion Law for Museum and Art Museums of Korea are supposed to intensify in line with ICOM’s revision of definition of museums. In particular, considering that many of the materials of museums and art museums of academic, artistic, educational, and historical value, including national treasures, are held in private museums or private art galleries, controversies over for-profit activities of museums and art museums are expected to intensify in the future. Therefore, it is more necessary than ever to reconsider the scope and allowable making-profit activities of museum and art museums under the Promotion Law for Museum and Art Museums of Korea, taking into account the role of museums and art museums and various environmental changes surrounding museums and art museums. In this regard, this paper reviewed the fact that the introduction of non-profit or not-for-profit prerequisite for the registration into the Promotion Law for Museum and Art Museums of Korea could be a problem in terms of legal stability and excessive restrictions on freedom of occupation in current situation, where private or for-profit corporations have been registered and operated as private museums or art museums under the Promotion Law for Museum and Art Museums of Korea. However, terms of non-profit or not-for profit does not mean banning of all profitable activities, and thus detailed standards need to be prepared, considering that the criteria for for-profit activities are unclear and it is not easy to evaluate for-profit activities in the business plan in the course of reviewing museums and art museums to give supports and aids to them. In addition, it is necessary to revise related articles for the overall reorganization of the registration and support system for museums and art museums.

Published: April 2023

Isolated m.FlexorHallucis Tendon (FHL) rupture is rare and uncommon. We looked for information on the topic of reconstruction of m.flexorhallucis longus and subsequent rehabilitation in the scientific databases of SCOPUS, Elsevier and Google Scholar, but the information found was scarce and partial. This provoked us to share our experience in surgical treatment and subsequent recovery from this type of injury. Case description and patient's information: The considered clinical case concerns a 46-year-old woman with the inability to actively bend the big toe and altered sensitivity of the foot and its plantar surface. Ligamentotomyin the area of the tarsal canal and decompression of the n.tibialis sin was performed surgically. A thorough gentle debridement was performed in the tarsal canal with tenoplasty of the flexor halluces longus with a graft of m. plantaris. Therapeutic intervention: The physiotherapy program was divided into three periods: I (1-6) postoperative week, II (6-12th) postoperative week and III (12-24th) postoperative week. Follow–up and outcomes: The patient was tested three times - on the third postoperative day, at the end of the 12th and at the end of the 24th postoperative week. The test battery included centimetry, goniometry, visual analogue scale (VAS), and manual muscle testing. Conclusion: Based on the difference in the values of the studied indicators in the initial postoperative and final results after reconstruction of FHL with plantar graft and postoperative rehabilitation, we believe that this combination of surgical technique and subsequent physiotherapy protocol is highly effective, with excellent functional outcome.
Adolescents’ experience of victimization from the perspective of hands-on workers who are supporting digital sexual crime: Focusing on Telegram and Discord
Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Jeon Hye Kyeong
Published: April 2023

Child and adolescent digital sexual crime victimization are increasing consistently, on various platforms. Former studies on digital sex crimes targeting teenagers have focused on surveys, legal improvement plans, comparative studies of foreign cases, or victims and offenders themselves. These studies spotlighted the need for improvement of laws via the reality of digital sex crimes against teenagers, and there is a lack of research on platforms used in digital sexual assaults. Therefore, this study aims to examine how teenagers are victimized from the perspective of victim support staff and to find out the problems and possible ways to improve Telegram and Discord, where assault videos are most frequently circulated, shared, and sold. Legislation and research on digital sex crimes, books and reports, statistics and survey data, seminar data organized by women’s organizations, and research literature were analyzed to find out the current status of adolescents’ media usage and damage. After that, through interviews with victim support staff with field experience, teenagers’ experience of digital sex assaults and victim support were analyzed. It was concluded that offenders committed online grooming, by using platforms that teenagers frequently use and can communicate within to approach them in a friendly manner, to exploit, spread and sell victimized videos via the platform. Telegram and Discord are frequently used, and the characteristics of these platforms make it greatly difficult to support the victims. Participants in this study were staff who are providing victim support at investigation agencies, public damage agencies, and educational counseling institutions, and there were various problems and improvement measures according to their fields. Finally, the discussions and limitations of this study, as well as suggestions for future work were presented as a conclusion.

Las fuentes de información primaria fueron encuestas online realizadas a tres grupos de interés: consumidores de snacks y papas prefritas congeladas; restaurantes que emplean esta última como parte de su oferta y cadenas de supermercados que comercializan los productos de interés. El trabajo se centró en establecer los valores de producción primaria y balanza comercial de camote en Bolivia, así como calcular la demanda total e insatisfecha y oferta total de los tipos de snack preferidos por los consumidores y de la papa prefrita congelada en bastones, debido a la escasez de información secundaria existente. De ahí surgieron los criterios de viabilidad de mercado para el desarrollo de la oferta de nuevos productos sustitutos derivados de camote; también aparece técnicamente la necesidad de contar con mejores perspectivas para su cultivo e impulsarlo a nivel nacional, tomando en cuenta los beneficios nutricionales y el impacto económico para las familias productoras. Finalmente, se pudo caracterizar a los potenciales consumidores de los derivados de camote por desarrollar a nivel comercial, considerando los valores de demanda insatisfecha calculados en el mercado cochabambino.
“Subaltern Studiesand the Transition in Indian History Writing”
Authors: Bagade Umesh , Jogdand Yashpal , Bagade Vaishnavi
Published: April 2023

Umesh Bagade’s historic critique of the caste blindness of the Subaltern Studies project retraces its emergence as a criticism of the Nationalist and Marxist schools of Indian history. He shows how the subaltern historians borrowed Antonio Gramsci’s concept of “subaltern” in order to retain a broadly Marxist framework without “class” but discarded the crucial Gramscian emphasis on oppression and economic exploitation. They grievously misread, confused, or omitted caste as a “system” when they constructed their model of the subaltern as subordinate but autonomous. The caste system functioned as a graded inequality with close links to patriarchy in which the lower castes were oppressed, exploited, and subordinated rather than autonomous. A homogenized “subaltern” status thus lumped the oppressed lower-caste peasants and the tribal peasantry with upper-caste peasantry. It was not acknowledged that the “solidarity” that expanded the base of subaltern revolt was achieved through coercion of the lower castes and women. The subaltern cultural “consciousness” of caste Panchayats, which was central to the project’s epistemology, was governed by Brahmanical religion and culture. The kinship relations that comprised peasant solidarities were built on endogamous caste practices. Predictably, the Subaltern Studies project found a close affinity with postmodernism and eschewed the question of emancipatory politics. The project therefore excluded anticaste mobilizations from the purview of “subaltern revolts” and simultaneously rejected the need for a comprehensive historical interpretation in which the caste system and patriarchy could be analyzed and opposed. In exposing the biases and lacunae of subaltern historiography, Bagade provides a clinical observation of history with an eye on history’s ability to influence reality. He shows the path that was not taken, which anticaste scholarship is now forging.

Authors: Hall Teresa , Loveday Sarah , Pullen Sandie , Loftus Hayley , Constable Leanne , Paton Kate , Hiscock Harriet
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Integrated care research often fails to adequately describe co-design methods. This article outlines the process, principles and tools to co-design an integrated health and social care Hub for families experiencing adversity.
Research methods: The Child and Family Hub was co-designed in four stages: (1) partnership building and stakeholder engagement, (2) formative research, (3) persona development and (4) co-design workshops and consultations. Local families, community members and intersectoral practitioners were engaged at each stage. The co-design workshops employed a human-centred design process and were evaluated using the Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Tool (PEET).
Results: 121 family participants and 80 practitioners were engaged in the Hub’s co-design. The PEET highlighted the co-design team’s satisfaction achieved by community members working alongside practitioners to generate mutual learning. Resourcing was a key challenge.
Discussion: Human-centred design offered a systematic process and tools for integrating formative evidence with lived and professional experience in the Hub’s co-design. Applying community engagement principles meant that a diverse range of stakeholders were engaged across all stages of the project which built trust in and local ownership of the Hub model.
Conclusion: Co-design research with families experiencing adversity should attend to language, engagement methods, team composition and resourcing decisions.

COMPARING DISPERSION COMPENSATION METHODS FOR 120 GB/S OPTICAL TRANSMISSION: PRE, POST, AND SYMMETRICAL SCHEMES
Authors: Odeh Ammar
Published: April 2023

One of the major factors that limit the performance of an optical fiber communication system isdispersion. In order to get a high transmission range with high data rates, techniques must be in place to compensate for the dispersion caused by fiber nonlinearity. Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) are the trending dispersion compensation techniques in optical fiber communication. The use of DCF and FBG as a method of dispersion compensation can notably enhance the overall performance of the system. Broadening is a function of distance as well as the Dispersion parameter (D). The dispersion parameter is given in ps/nm/km and changes from fiber to fiber and also is a function of wavelength. In this paper, we investigate pre-, post-, and symmetrical compensating schemes in three different compensating models: DCF, FBG, and DCF cascaded to FBG. The system performance was evaluated in terms of Q-factor and Bit Error Rate (BER) for one optical channel communication system at 120 Gbps Return to Zero (RZ) signal launched over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) of 100 km by using OptiSystem 7.0 software.

Published: April 2023

This article reviews the recent trends of Oman's electricity sector before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The impacts of the pandemic on the Main Interconnected System (MIS) of Oman were analyzed using hourly load data. The analysis shows that the MIS demand declined as a result of the decrease in economic activities during the lockdown. In addition, the MIS demand experienced temporal and geographical variations: the former is demonstrated by a shift in peak demand hours, while the latter is represented by a reduction in Muscat's urban areas' load compared with those of other areas.

Published: April 2023

Sustainable management of crop plantations to sequester more carbon is a timely strategy to reduce greenhouse gases, as these have been considered to be potent measures for mitigation of climate change. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a proven carbon-sequestering perennial crop by biological means, aiding in the mitigation of global warming and climatic fluctuations. The present study was carried out in Serchhip, Mizoram, India from 5th February to 30th March 2021. All major palm plantation sites located within Serchhip were determined in the study. The carbon store was determined from sample plants of three, six, eight, and ten years. This research adopts a destructive approach to estimate the amount of carbon storage. The investigator surveyed the number of trees and the age of the palm trees with the help of farmers. The results indicates that the trunk stores the largest amount of carbon when compared with other plant parts. However, in a three-year plantation, the fronds store more carbon than the trunk. The study reveals that the amount of carbon sequestered by four, six, eight, and ten-year palm trees were 0.045 t, 0.098 t, 0.276 t and 0.539 t respectively. The total sample surveyed was 1015 standing trees from eight locations, and the carbon stock potential accounting all plantations site within Serchhip was estimated to be 345.1 t/yr. Recently, many farmers are planning of giving up oil palm farming and are likely to replace their oil palm fields with other crops. Uprooting, slashing, and burning is the common practice adopted to clear palm trees, which is believed detrimentally to emit tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. Therefore, the study will be very helpful in decision-making and, consequently selecting a wiser choice for climate change mitigation within Serchhip and, to a larger extent, Mizoram.

Published: April 2023

The mechanization of Indian farms is imperative to enhance input use efficiency, reduce human drudgery, cost of production and to address issues of labour scarcity and timeliness of farm operations. Digging of trenches for laying pvc pipes in sprinkler and drip irrigation system has become drudgery by human labour, more expensive and time consuming. Commercially available machines are high capacity, more cost of operation and not affordable to the small and marginal farmers. To overcome this problems, a small tractor operated trencher was designed and developed. The developed trencher was evaluated in the field at a 1.5,2,2.5 km/h forward speeds. During field trails it was observed increase in forward speed from 1.5 to 2.5 km/h resulted in decrease in depth of trench, fuel consumption and capacity of auger. Increased in forward speed resulted in increase in length of trench.

Published: April 2023

Aquaculture has the potential to meet the need of growing demand of fish in an affordable price. But in capture and in culture fisheries the fishes face diseases that interfere in the production of fish. The occurrence of disease causes the reduced production in aquaculture or reduce the marketable value of fish because of change of flesh quality, thus hampering the production. Freshwater fishes whether they are cultured or wild face different types of diseases in their skin, gills, fins, blood, and internal organs. The parasites that cause the diseases may be protozoans or metazoans.The main protozoan freshwater fish diseases are ichthyophthiriasis, trichodiniasis, costiosis, chilodonellosis. The most common metazoan parasitic diseases of freshwater fishes are dactylogyrusis, gyrodactylosis, argulosis, myxosporidiasis, ligulosis, ergasilosis, lernaesis, etc. The focus of this review is to screen the research studies that takes place on freshwater fish parasites of West Bengal. The review also aims to study the diversity of freshwater fish parasites in West Bengal, so that it will helps the researcher to get an idea about the freshwater fish parasites and their mode of infection in the fishes. The research work that takes place in different regions of West Bengal. Some of them reveal new species of parasites in fishes. Protozoan, cnidarian, acanthocephalan, nematode, cestode, trematode, crustacean parasites are identified in freshwater fishes of West Bengal. Among the protozoans cailiates, flagellates are identified. Trichodinids are very common protozoan fish parasites in most districts. Parasites under genus Myxobolus, Dactylogyrus, Gyrodactylus, Argulus, Lernea are common among the metazoans.

Published: April 2023

The present study was carried out to evaluate cassava genotypes for Postharvest Physiological Deterioration (PPD). Tubers from different genotypes were evaluated at 1,2,3,4 and 5 days after harvest for PPD. Two genotypes viz., CI 850 and YTP 1 showed their supremacy in recording low levels of PPD (9.81 and 11.76 % respectively) even five days after harvest. This could be the result of lower cyanide (HCN) content. Starch content was decreased at storage. This study can be used to understand the mechanisms of PPD in cassava tubers.

Published: April 2023

A pot experiment was conducted to explore the growth, yield and cadmium accumulation in wheat Crop (Triticum aestivum L.) as Influenced by nitrogenous fertilizer in an Inceptisol of Varanasi, India. The findings indicated that the uptake of cadmium by wheat crop roots and shoots increased with increasing nitrogen doses up to 180 kg/ha over control. In the case of 5 mg/kg cadmium concentration, the average cadmium concentration content increased by 0.3, 0.4, and 0.633 at 60,120, and 180 kg/ha, respectively, over control. At Cadmium 10 mg/kg concentration, there was a similar degree of progress. Cadmium accumulation was found more in roots than shoots. However, with increasing nitrogen rates, crop growth, chlorophyll content, and spike length all increased significantly. The tillers per plant and grains per ear or spike, i.e. overall grain yield was increased significantly throughout the experiment, the concentrations of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium remained stable. The findings of this study will help agronomists assess the danger of elevated Cd content in various wheat cultivars as a result of regional crop and soil management strategies, particularly those involving nitrogen.

Published: April 2023

Natural environments are now seriously affected by human-made noise, creating complex acoustic circumstances that are unheard of in most locations. Expansion of aero industry and increase in air traffic whether civilian or military is accompanied by large scale noise pollution and habitat disturbances. The present communication is based on meta-analysis of 47 research papers highlighting impact of aircraft noise on avian behavior and communication related to both routine and breeding activities. Aircraft acoustics have been reported to modify behavior of 22 species of birds by changing their specific song structure, communication, population abundance, territorial defence behavior, modifications to reproductive success, impaired vocalization and predator-prey interactions. Recent studies have also uncovered additional negative effects of aeroplane noise on avian behavioral responses by modifying their stress reactions, foraging activity, flight or flushing reactions and avoidance of noisy environments. The ability of bird species to counteract the masking effect of noise through changes in vocal amplitude, song and call frequency, song component redundancy, as well as temporal shifts to avoid noise have been revealed by comparative avian studies conducted in noise free environment. There seems to be a big lacuna in our understanding of influence of aircraft noise on avian community structure, intra/inter species relationships and their prey populations having possibilities of destabilizing effect on intertwined food webs. Detailed studies are required on aircraft noise versus avian population interactions so as to come up with interventions to mitigate their impacts on avian habitats, breeding potential and population abundance; in addition to reduction in noise levels in aviation, maneuvers to reduce noise during landings and take-offs, and to safeguard wildlife in airport influenced areas.

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is the fourth major vegetable cultivated globally. The major fungal foliar pathogen causing havoc in production, export and marketing is fruit rot or anthracnose of chilli caused by Colletotrichum capsici (Syd.) Butler and Bisby which has emerged in impairing production in both tropical and subtropical regions. In the present study, new molecules of contact, systemic and combi product fungicides were tested against Colletotrichum capsici by poison food technique at different concentrations. The contact fungicides were tested at three concentrations (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) where, mancozeb 75% WP recorded 100 percent mycelial inhibition at all three concentrations. Among the systemic fungicides, propiconazole 25% EC and difenoconazole 25% EC showed 100 per cent mycelial inhibition at 0.025, 0.05 and 0.10 per cent. Among the combi product fungicides evaluated, metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64% WP showed 100 per cent inhibition which was on par with tricyclazole 18% + mancozeb 62% (99.54 %). Whereas, lowest mycelial inhibition was in zineb 75% WP (30.14 %), hexaconazole 5% EC (66.11 %) and tebuconazole 50% + trifloxystrobin 25% (72.36 %) in contact, systemic and combi fungicides respectively. The overall results suggest that the systemic fungicides of triazole group are highly effective in inhibiting mycelial growth.

Remediation of xenobiotics from wastewater is highly essential due to its harmful impacts. Several chemical and physical processes are used to recover xenobiotics from wastewater, including ion exchange, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and ultrafiltration. However, the biological method of employing microalgae, has aroused the scientific community’s interest due to its cheap operating costs and effectiveness in absorbing and/or removing organic and elemental contaminants from wastewater. Chlorella vulgaris was used as a biological absorbent, in the remediation of domestic wastewater (DWW). The results of this work indicated that C. vulgaris, effectively eliminated pollutants and improved the physicochemical characteristics of wastewater such as pH, DO, alkalinity. Simultaneously, it also decreased BOD, COD, suspended solids, heavy metals (HMs) such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and nutrient load (phosphate and nitrate) of DWW. Effective remediation of the pollutants was attained within 4h of C. vulgaris cultivation. The removal of toxic compounds such as 4-methoxy carbonyl benzo hydrazide, benzamine 4,4’ methylene bis, acetamide, and N-(2-methyl phenyl), was confirmed with GC-MS analysis. The removal of polysulfides and aliphatic bromo compounds was evident from the FTIR studies. Pearson’s correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between physicochemical variables and algal biomass. Hence, the current study recommends biological wastewater treatment,by utilizing C. vulgaris as an effective and eco-friendly option, for removing pollutants and restoring the physicochemical properties of water.
Specious Present, Phenomenal Extension, and Mereological Inversion: A Problem for Physicalism about the Mind
Authors: Zhou Lyu
Published: April 2023

The specious present (James, 1890/1950) is the phenomenal temporal structure of the representational content of my present experience. This article is a study of the mereological structure of the specious present and what it reveals about the nature of the mind. I argue that the specious
present has certain features that cannot be easily explained within the framework of physicalism about the mind — the view that consciousness is nothing over and above what is physical. In particular, the specious present is a phenomenally extended (i.e.non-instantaneous) whole whose
parts are conceptual abstractions and are therefore dependent on this whole. However, unlike the specious present, what is physical does not have this special property of the parts being dependent on the whole. Therefore, it is unclear how the specious present can be explained in physicalistic
terms.

Objective: Atmospheric pressure plasma jet is one of the promising plasma sources for biomedical applications. This work provides insight into the plasma dynamics near the substrate surface during the plasma treatment. Methods: Two-dimensional modeling of a helium plasma jet impinging on substrates with different relative permittivity and surface morphology is implemented. Results: When the tip of the plasma jet touches the substrate surface, there is a strong electric field and a high density of surface charge on the surface. The higher the substrate’s relative permittivity, the higher density of electrons and excited states near the surface are obtained, and the smaller area of the plasma on the surface is observed. For the wavy surface of the substrate, a surface ionization wave slowly propagating along the protrusions of the substrate is observed. It propagates along the protrusions (rather than the concaves), resulting in no plasma being generated directly inside the concaves. Detailed analysis shows that because the height and width of the concaves are smaller than the thickness of the plasma sheath, the narrow space of the concaves probably restricts the direct production of plasma inside it. Conclusion: The increase of substrate permittivity is beneficial to the production of electrons and chemical species but limits the radial propagation of the plasma along the surface. To generate the plasma directly inside the narrow concaves for the uneven surface of the substrate, the electron density or the width of the concaves should increase.

Published: April 2023

This study looks at spawning patterns, egg mass shape, and embryo development to learn more about the reproductive biology of the A. fasciata species that lives in Libya's coastal waters. In June 2022, eight mature Aplysia fasciata collected from Tajura coast and kept into aquarium contain aerated seawater and marine algae (Ulva lactuca). After five days, a mating couple was seen in the aquarium, and, a mass of fertilized eggs were produced. The clusters eggs were transfer to new aquarium. After few hours, the eggs started development to embryo and at 10 day the egg masses colour changed to a brownish as the embryo developed to the trochophore stage and started to rotate inside capsules. After 16 day of spawning the trochophore broke the egg capsules to hatch as free swimming larvae (the veliger stage). Unfortunately, after 25 day of fertilized eggs all larvae died as veliger. Probably, the result of inadequate conditions for rearing or lack an availability of appropriate food. Whereas A. fasciata has never been recorded before in the Libyan waters.

The present study aimed to determine the effect on different blood parameters (WBCs, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, and MCHC) in fingerlings of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) weighing 13.5 ± 1 g with pomegranate peels (Punica granatum) in their different forms, raw (PPR), alcoholic (PPA) and water (PPW), which were added to their feed as 0.5% and 1% respectively, in addition to the control treatment (21 replicates). A commercial diet was used containing 35% crude protein, 6% lipid, 12% Ash and 50 TVN for ten weeks. At the end of the experiment, blood was drawn from the heart of the fish, and analyses were performed. The results showed that RBCs, HGB and HCT improved significantly (P< 0.05), while there were no significant differences (P> 0.05) in WBCs, MCH, and MCHC. In short, we recommend adding pomegranate peels or extracts (alcoholic or aqueous) to common carp food at a rate not exceeding 1%.
Perjanjian Tidak Dipoligami dalam Pernikahan Menurut Mazhab Syafii dan Hukum Positif di Indonesia
Authors: Afrianto Fikri , Fahmi Muhammad Nurul
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this research is to discuss the marriage agreement, especially the agreement not to be polygamous according to Mazhab Syafii and positive law in Indonesia. Marriage is a way for humans to channel their biological desires from a path that is in accordance with Islamic law. In marriage itself, Allah also regulates the law of polygamy, namely that a man may marry a wife with a maximum limit of 4 people. However, in reality, not all women or wives want to be polygamous, so they take precautions to make a marriage agreement before carrying out the contract so as not to be polygamous. The research method used is qualitative research. The type of research used is the literature review method, so that the data sources used are sourced from relevant documents. The results of this study are a marriage agreement in the form of a prospective wife not wanting to be polygamized by a prospective husband, when the marriage has taken place, the scholars in the Syafii Mazhab consider the agreement invalid even though the marriage is valid with the consequence of canceling the mahr that has been determined before the contract and the wife only gets mahr mitsl, while in positive law in Indonesia the agreement is permissible, as long as the agreement is agreed upon by both parties, both the male party (prospective husband) and the female party (prospective wife) and does not harm third parties. However, if after the marriage the agreement is violated, then the wife has the right to file a marriage annulment or make it a reason for a divorce suit to the Religious Court.
