The goals of national education will not be achieved without discipline. Islam is a religion that teaches discipline as well as gentleness. Students in schools should carry out a disciplined attitude by obeying all the rules that apply in their school which is called student discipline. The Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the level of student discipline, especially student discipline at school. Community service activities in the form of counseling aim to improve student discipline through a sharia perspective at SMK Bina Mandiri Syariah. The method used is counseling activities and activity evaluation. The results of the extension activities found that there were main obstacles experienced by students in the application of discipline in schools, namely the adaptation process from the online teaching and learning system to the face-to-face system. The results of the evaluation of activities are known to increase the insight and commitment of students of SMK Bina Mandiri Multimedia in applying student discipline through a Sharia perspective, both inside and outside school. This community service activity is very useful for students at Bina Mandiri Multimedia Vocational School to improve student discipline through a sharia perspective.
Fully Automated Thermometer Calibration System at the Standards and Calibration Laboratory (SCL)
Authors:   Standards and Calibration Laboratory (SCL), Cheung Julian C.P. ,   Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
Published: March 2022

Traditionally, thermometers are calibrated by comparison with reference thermometers, such as standard platinum resistance thermometers in liquid baths. The process is time consuming and costly since an operator is required to adjust the bath temperature and take the readings of the thermometers. The Standards and Calibration Laboratory (SCL), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region recently developed a fully automated calibration system for thermometer calibration which does not require the attention of an operator. The system makes use of a computer to control the bath temperature and take the thermometer readings by using pattern recognition techniques. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Liquid Level Recognition (LLR) techniques are employed to take the readings of the digital and liquid-in-glass thermometers respectively. The reading process starts with taking pictures of the display of the thermometer under test by a smart video camera. The images are analyzed by Labview based programmes to find the thermometer readings. The system can be trained to recognize various display formats of the thermometers under test. The images of the display readings are retained for proof checking when a report is produced.
Producing Valid Results(Risk Mitigation and Measurement Assurance)
Authors: Mistretta Philip
Published: March 2022

Quality measurements are not produced by accident. They are not the result of a single action, occurrence, or event. They are a collection of activities that are planned, interrelated and cohesive; they should be considered alongside the development of manufacturing processes and not an afterthought. Measurement activities are inextricably linked to product quality and manufacturing systems. These activities collectively are referred to as Measurement Quality Assurance (MQA). MQA is good for product quality and good for business, and can even be legislated. The Unites States Code of Federal regulations, Title 21- Food and Drugs states, “Each manufacturer shall ensure that all inspection, measuring, and test equipment, including mechanical, automated, or electronic inspection and test equipment, is suitable for its intended purposes and is capable of producing valid results.”(21 CFR 820.72)A comprehensive Measurement Quality Assurance program designed to mitigate risk has many components. It starts with the product design and identification of the required measurements and the process tolerances required to efficiently build a quality process or service. Once the process tolerances have been defined, test equipment must be selected to take these measurements. The test equipment selected must be suitable and appropriate for the measurement tasks and it must also be capable of producing valid results. Even the proper instrument can produce in-valid results if not handled, maintained, used and stored properly. Even if these events happen, but are not documented by objective evidence, the intent of the MQA program, mitigating risk, can be derailed.
Analytical Evaluation of Response Characteristics of Temperature and Pressure Measurement Systems for Gas Turbine Engines
Authors:   Pratt & Whitney, a United States Technologies Company, Jalalzadeh-Azar Ali A.
Published: March 2022

Instrument response plays an important role in data validation for experimental and real-world systems, including gas turbine engines (GTE). A widely used metric for characterizing sensor response is the time constant, which is typically determined experimentally in a laboratory environment by examining the output response to a step, ramp, or sinusoidal input. Although such an approach is useful for screening and selecting appropriate sensors for an application, it is not necessarily applicable to the measurement system integrating the sensor. Gas pressure and temperature are among the thermodynamic properties whose accurate measurements are crucial to GTE performance assessments in transient as well as in steady-state operations. To evaluate the response characteristics of the respective measurement systems, implementation of a technique utilizing actual test data can complement laboratory test results that may not fully cover the operating range of interest. Subtle differences between the laboratory setup and the actual test apparatus is another factor that underscores the utility of such a hybrid approach for discerning the effective response parameters. The proposed analytical technique entails an inverse analysis requiring advance knowledge of the actual properties for discernment of the sought instrument response parameters. Therefore, forecasting the properties along the transient path becomes an intrinsic facet of the response characterization. Comparison of the results from this twofold methodology with vetted laboratory data can help modify the analytical and the laboratory techniques for convergence. The search for this coveted emergence may also constitute a viable strategy for addressing the seemingly paradoxical notion regarding the need for predictability of the properties being measured. This paper presents the conceptualized analytical methodology for determining the effective time constants of the total pressure and temperature measurement systems in a GTE compressor involving subsonic axial flow regimes. To predict the transient data, historical steady-state measurements for a wide range of engine speeds were used and correlated to the rotational speed. Although this effort does not take the center stage here, it provides a means to explore the efficacy of the proposed technique that approximates instrument parameters using first- and second-order response models for temperature and pressure, respectively.
Best Practices for Pipette Calibration Uncertainty Budgets and CMC Determination
Authors: Rodrigues George
Published: March 2022

With unit sales in excess of one million pieces per year, pipettes are ubiquitous devices and found in a wide variety of laboratories. Applications vary from non-quantitative uses (such as mixing or decanting) to highly quantitative uses such as dispensing of standards and preparation of accurate serial dilutions. Because pipettes are used extensively in critical laboratory tests such as quality control assay of injectable drugs and DNA analysis which results in conviction or exoneration, proper calibration of pipettes is important and the consequences of poor calibrations can be severe. There is a definite upward trend in the number of pipette calibration laboratories and service organizations which have obtained accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Each of these laboratories will have performed an uncertainty analysis and calculated their calibration measurement capability (CMC).In this paper, the available scopes of accreditation from forty different pipette calibration laboratories are compiled, compared and contrasted. The various formats were translated into a common basis and then plotted to show how CMCs vary with pipette volume and vary between laboratories. One of the most notable differences is the significant variation in the CMCs among laboratories, which can vary by factors of 100 or more. There appears to be little correlation between a published pipette CMC and other laboratory variables such as experience in the discipline, equipment, reference standards, environmental controls, and capabilities in related disciplines such as mass or volumetrics. To understand the reasons behind these differences in CMC, pipette uncertainty budgets from some leading laboratories were compared. Based on this evaluation, the authors conclude that laboratory practices for establishing pipette calibration CMCs are not well standardized, and the largest source of variation seems to be practice in how the repeatability contribution from the pipette unit under test (UUT) is evaluated and considered. ILAC policy P-14 [1] defines CMC and establishes general policy regarding inclusion of repeatability and reproducibility of the “best existing device”. In practice, there is currently no consensus on which sources of variation in the pipette calibration process should be included in the CMC evaluation, nor is there agreement on how to apply the concept of a best existing pipette. This paper attempts to begin filling this gap by providing recommendations for a best practice in evaluating and communicating the uncertainty of a pipette calibration and for evaluating the CMC of a pipette calibration laboratory. The important questions of reporting measurement uncertainty and the impact it has on evaluating inter-laboratory comparisons and determining compliance with tolerances are also discussed.
A Closed-Form Solution for Quadratic Distribution Uncetainty from Containment Limits and Probability
Authors:   Pantex Metrology, Kuster Mark
Published: March 2022

Metrologists may obtain Type B uncertainties from such engineering estimates as “The error falls within 2 units 50% of the time.” The procedure requires selecting an appropriate distribution and determining its standard deviation in terms of the containment limits and probability. The latest revision of NCSLI Recommended Practice RP-12, “Determining and Reporting Measurement Uncertainty”, provides such equations for the normal, student’s t, quadratic, cosine, triangular, trapezoidal, u-shaped, and utility distributions. This paper summarizes the Type B estimation procedure, presents the previously unknown quadratic distribution solution discovered during RP-12 development for symmetric, asymmetric, and single-sided containment limits, and gives example uses.

Abstract. Mangroves are widely recognised as key ecosystems for climate change
mitigation as they capture and store significant amounts of sediment organic
carbon (SOC). Yet, there is incomplete knowledge on how sources of SOC and
their differential preservation vary between mangrove sites in relation to
environmental gradients. To address this, sediment depth profiles were
sampled from mangrove sites ranging from river-dominated to marine-dominated
sites and including old and young mangrove sites in the Guayas delta
(Ecuador). The stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) and the
elemental composition (OC %, C : N) of sediment profiles, local vegetation
(i.e. autochthonous carbon) and externally supplied suspended particulate
matter (i.e. allochthonous carbon) were obtained to assess variations in
the amount and sources of SOC at different locations throughout the delta.
In general, across all sites, we found that increasing SOC contents and stocks
are associated with decreasing δ13C and increasing C : N ratios,
indicating that SOC stocks and sources are intrinsically related. The SOC
stocks (down to 0.64 m depth profiles) are significantly lower in young
mangrove sites (46–55 Mg C ha−1) than in old sites (78–92 Mg C ha−1). The SOC in the young mangrove sites is mainly of allochthonous
origin (estimated on average at 79 %), whereas in the old sites there is a
slight dominance of autochthonous OC (on average 59 %). Moreover, from
river- to marine-dominated sites, a pattern was found of increasing SOC
stocks and increasing autochthonous SOC contribution. These observed
differences along the two studied gradients are hypothesised to be mainly
driven by (1) expected higher sedimentation rates in the river-dominated and
lower-elevation younger sites, thereby `diluting' the SOC content and
decreasing the relative autochthonous contribution, and (2) potential
differences in preservation of the different SOC sources. Our finding of
high contributions of allochthonous SOC, especially in young mangroves,
implies that this carbon is not originating from CO2 sequestration by
the mangrove ecosystem itself but is externally supplied from other
terrestrial, marine or estuarine ecosystems. We argue that accounting for
lower SOC stocks and higher contribution of allochthonous SOC in young and
river-dominated mangrove sites, as compared to old and marine-dominated
sites, is particularly relevant for designing and valuing nature-based
climate mitigation programmes based on mangrove reforestation.

Abstract. We developed a new demographic vegetation model, BiomeE, to improve the representation of vegetation demographic dynamics and ecosystem biogeochemical cycles in the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies’ ModelE Earth system model. This model includes the processes of plant growth, mortality, reproduction, vegetation structural dynamics, and soil carbon and nitrogen storage and transformations. The model combines the plant physiological processes of ModelE’s original vegetation model, Ent, with minor adaptations to fit the new allometry and vegetation structure with the plant demographic and ecosystem nitrogen processes represented from Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)’s LM3-PPA. For global applications, we added a new set of plant functional types to represent global vegetation functional diversity, including trees, shrubs, and grasses, and a new phenology model to deal with seasonal changes in temperature and soil water availability. Competition for light and soil resources is individual based, which makes the modeling of transient compositional changes and vegetation succession possible. BiomeE will allow ModelE to simulate long-term biogeophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks between the climate system and land ecosystems. BiomeE simulates, with fidelity comparable to other models, the dynamics of vegetation and soil biogeochemistry, including leaf area index, vegetation structure (e.g., height, tree density, size distribution, crown organization), and ecosystem carbon and nitrogen storage and fluxes. Further, BiomeE will also allow for the simulations of transient vegetation dynamics and eco-evolutionary optimal community assemblage in response to past and future climate changes by incorporating core ecological processes, including demography, competition, and community assembly.
Motion generation of a planar 3R serial chain based on conformal geometric algebra with applications to planar linkages
Authors: Wang Lei , Yu Gaohong , Sun Liang , Zhou Yuzhu , Wu Chuanyu
Published: March 2022

Abstract. A planar three-revolute (3R) serial chain is an important part of many mechanisms. The classical approach in motion generation of a planar 3R serial chain is to construct closed-loop equations based on complex numbers, which yields a large-scale polynomial system. In this study, a new approach of planar 3R serial chain motion generation by establishing the relative kinematics model based on conformal geometric algebra (CGA) is proposed. The simpler design equations are obtained, which can be used to design a planar 3R serial chain that can accurately achieve the N poses. In the numerical examples, the number of different poses is used to verify the correctness and efficiency of the proposed method by using polyhedral homotopy continuation. The results indicate that the design equations obtained via CGA are more concise for improving the solving efficiency compared with the previous method. Finally, a geared five-bar mechanism with a seven-pose motion generation example is considered.
A Failure of Vision: Diachronic Failure and the Rhetoric of Rupture in the Taiheiki
Authors: Sather Jeremy
Published: March 2022

Japan reached an epistemological crossroad during the fourteenth century. The Wars of the Northern and Southern Courts (1336-1392) were fought between two power enters with vastly different visions for the future: The Southern Court aimed to restore the sacerdotal monarchy of the past and its epistemic framework, what this article calls the ōbō-buppō episteme; the Ashikaga-led Northern Court, conversely, represented a shift toward the secular and the sublimation of royal authority heralding the advent of a new episteme, or the jitsuri episteme. The war chronicle Taiheiki is in large part responsible for our understanding of the conflict far beyond its official end in 1392. This paper argues that Taiheiki is unique among war chronicles in concluding without the restoration of royal authority or the ōbō-buppō episteme, and this failure made it a signifier of epistemic change as well as a source of inspiration for samurai of subsequent generations who wished to affect such change themselves.
“The Power of Onomatopoeia in Manga,” an Essay by Natsume Fusanosuke with Translators' Introduction
Authors: Holt Jon , Fukuda Teppei
Published: March 2022

Natsume Fusanosuke is one of the founding critics of manga that pioneered a style of formal analysis of manga in the 1990s.  Natsume’s first important foray into his “theory of expression” (hyōgenron) was seen in the collaborate work, Manga no yomikata (How to read manga) in 1995.  He later streamlined those ideas in a twelve-episode series Manga wa naze omoshiroi no ka: sono bunpō to hyōgen (Why is manga so interesting?: Its grammar and expression) for NHK television in 1996.  The accompanying expanded book (1997) consists of well-ordered, individual essays on elements of manga such as line, character creation, and panels.  In the present translated essay, the eighth chapter of part one, Natsume explores how hand-drawn onomatopoeia—or comic-book interjections—are quite nuanced, conveying additional information about time and space as a part of the larger narrative flow, which Natsume asserts is uniquely characteristic of Japanese comic books.  This early essay, representing the beginning of Natsume’s scholarly arc, is important for its examination of how hand-drawn onomatopoeia are vital tools for the manga storyteller.  Natsume argues that these graphic giongo, gitaigo, and other mimetic expressions also reveal how Japanese audiences are predisposed to reading and processing verbal information in both as words and as pictures.  The translation and introduction make available in English for the first time a part of a key text in the history of manga studies in Japan.

This study was carried out with the objective of evaluating the changes in the ingestive behavior and in the intake of crossbred Santa Inês lamb fed Tifton 85 hay associated to levels of concentrate supplementation. Twenty lambs, weaned and uncastrated, with initial body weight (BW) of 20.3 ± 3.6 kg were distributed in four treatments with Tifton 85 hay exclusive or associated with concentrate levels (0.0, 6.6, 13.3 and 20.0 g kg-1 d-1 BW), in a completely randomized design with five replicates. The ingestive behavior was evaluated through feeding, rumination and idleness parameters, feeding and rumination efficiencies, as well as dry matter (DMI), neutral detergent fiber (NDFI) and crude protein (CPI) intakes. Supplementation did not change the NDFI, but linearly increased the DMI and CPI expressed in g day-1, g kg-1 day-1 BW and g kg-1 day-1 BW0.75. Despite of this the regressions obtained for time spent with feeding, rumination and total chewing showed decreasing behavior when expressed in minutes day-1 or in minutes kg-1 DM. The feeding (g hour-1) and rumination (g hour-1 and g cud-1) efficiency of DM and CP also increased linearly. The higher levels of supplementation provided less time spent with feeding and rumination activities and, consequently, longer time with idleness.
Saudi-Iranian Relations and the Future of the Middle East
Authors: Mason Robert
Published: March 2022

Mason explores Saudi-Iranian rivalry in the Middle East with particular reference to the growth in political contentions post-1979. He covers work by Ghattas who provides a more social perspective on the fallout from increased Saudi-Iranian rivalry from 1979, including sectarian violence from Egypt through to Pakistan, and a more policy-orientated appraisal and outline for conflict resolution between the parties provided by Fraihat. Taken together, they afford a comprehensive overview of the causes and effects of this “conflict.” For a political science scholar, it is Fraihat who tackles substantive conflict resolution issues of enduring concern: rebalancing the regional order, reforming conflict strategies, mediation, Track II diplomacy, and bottom up peace-building, which may hold the keys to shaping the next four decades in more peaceful ways than the previous four. Given the limited avenues of exploration in these areas, a partial GCC state backlash against the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) during the Obama administration, and the political consolidation underway in both states, one might despair of a breakthrough. The Biden administration represents an opportunity to at least contemplate de-escalation measures resulting from talks such as those underway in Iraq in 2021. Meanwhile, the policies of small states such as Oman and Qatar provide insights on pragmatic foreign policy behavior, some of which could be replicated by the key protagonists.
The Israeli-Palestinian War of Narratives: Nur Masalha's Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History in Context
Authors: Rabinovich Itamar
Published: March 2022

Palestinian academic Nur Masalha, who lives and teaches in London, published a thick volume seeking to anchor his arguments in an academic framework of a sort. Palestine: 4000 Years of History is an effort to document the argument for historical continuity between the Semitic-Arab peoples who had inhabited Palestine and the contemporary Palestinians. For Masalha, Palestine is a defined entity with its own native population embodied in the Palestinian Arabs. There was also a Jewish presence in Palestine during the biblical period but it was brief and insignificant. For the Jewish people and the Zionist Movement the term “Palestine” referred to the Land of Israel, the historical homeland of the Jewish people of the Land of the Bible. Terminology and nomenclature are important components of every national conflict. At the heart of such conflicts is the struggle for control of a specific territory and the respective claims by the contenders to absolute ownership of that territory. Such conflicts over the very name of a contested territory are not unique to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This article surveys the historical evolution of the contest over narratives between Israelis and Palestinians.
El desarrollo económico en México
Authors: Hernández Licona Gonzalo
Published: March 2022

Mexico’s economic development will be analyzed based on recent data and measuring diverse factors reflecting such complex phenomenon. First, we will study the evolution of the standard of live focusing on the income generation capabilities of its population. Then it will be argued that the best explanatory variable for the country’s standard of life is the economic growth since it improves the well-being of all population. Consequently the third topic addressed will be the current state of income distribution, allowing us to analyze the country’s disparities regarding well-being. Finally, we will investigate the current state of poverty in Mexico as one of the factors summarizing economic growth and as the result of the development of the previous factors.
Pasternak lyrics: part of speech structure
Authors: Andreev Sergey
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the stability and variability of part of speech structures in the collections of lyrical poems by B. Pasternak, the Nobel Prize winner for literature. The analysis is based on the methodology proposed by Gabriel Altmann in his studies. The database includes 7 collections of Pasternak’s lyrics, published by him over the period of more than 40 years. The study was carried out on the material of both individual poems and the framework of entire collections. The results obtained showed that in Pasternak's lyrics, nominality of texts is very high. Within the framework of each separate collection a high stability of the general structure of parts of speech was observed. Dynamic description was found to prevail over static description. It was found that both types of description are guided by the tendency to compensation when the growth of one of them causes a decrease in the other. It was discovered that the distribution of parts of speech within each collection of lyrics is very well fitted by the Zipf-Alekseev function. Using the Euclidean distances between the collections of lyrical poems, published during different periods of the author’s creative work, assumptions were made about possible stages of the author's style evolution.
A corpus-based study on Chinese modification patterns of nouns across registers

Published: March 2022

Nominal modification works to describe and restrict noun phrases, making the information delivery more vivid and precise. In English, the communicative functions of different modification patterns of head-nouns have been studied in a lot of corpus-based investigations of the written and the spoken registers, but few corpus-based register studies have been ever conducted in Chinese. This research takes the initiative attempt to conduct a corpus-based study on Chinese modification patterns across registers. A one-million-word corpus including both written and spoken Chinese is first built and all the modification patterns of noun phrases are extracted in Chunker, a self-developed colligation query and analysis tool. Through classification of modification patterns and statistical processing, the study displays the distributions of simple and complex modification patterns and the relationship between the frequency of modification patterns and the information density across registers and discusses the functional implication of such distributions and relationship under the guidance of Biber’s register theory.
The 'Spirits in Prison' in 1 Peter: A Reconsideration
Authors: Au Jason
Published: March 2022

A reconsideration of the confusing ‘spirits in prison’ passage of 1 Peter 3:18–22 yields a new interpretation. It refers to those to whom Jesus appeared after his resurrection. Attention is given to the current consensus and the questions that remain about the passage and then to the previously overlooked punctuation. Re-punctuating the passage indicates that the ‘formerly disobedient’ refers to ‘former unbelievers’ and that these ‘spirits in prison’ are those former unbelievers to whom Jesus appeared after he was resurrected.
Dating Obadiah to 801 BC
Authors: Riding Charles Bruce
Published: March 2022

Currently, Old Testament scholars have accepted that it is virtually impossible to ascertain the provenance and date of the biblical book of Obadiah confidently. The majority views the date as soon after the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC, but this is acknowledged to be tentative. Post-exilic and pre-exilic dates are also advocated. This article re-examines the evidence and introduces some more considerations, concluding that an early pre-exilic date for Obadiah is most likely. Elsewhere, the author has redated Joel to 773 BC. Since Joel quotes Obadiah, the book of Obadiah should be dated earlier than that. This article then examines all nine attacks on Jerusalem recorded in the Old Testament to see if what Obadiah describes can be matched to any of them. This leads to the conclusion that Obadiah should be dated to 801 bce, in conjunction with the raid on Jerusalem by a small band of Syrian soldiers as described in 2 Chronicles 24:23–25:24. I propose that some Edomites aided and abetted them in this attack. Obadiah prophesied in between the events recorded in 2 Chronicles 25:16 and 17. If this is so, it sheds light on Amaziah’s attacking Edom, not Syria, for justice and/or revenge (2 Chr 25:11–14). It also offers an explanation for Amaziah’s apostasy to Edomite, not Syrian gods (2 Chr 25:14), and his challenge to Jehoahaz, king of Israel (2 Chr 25:17–24). Other confirming data are presented, and some corollaries are then deduced.
Análise da produção escrita de alunos surdos inseridos na escola básica: organização da escrita na sala de aula
Authors: Lopes Erivelton da Silva , Freitas Marília Fernanda Pereira de
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo pretende discutir questões ligadas à produção textual escrita de alunos surdos, mais especificamente, busca analisar a produção textual na Língua Portuguesa (LP) de alunos surdos inseridos na escola regular, tendo como foco a estrutura organizacional de seus textos, em se tratando dos usos em tais produções que diferem da norma culta escrita em português, identificando em que medida tais usos se aproximam ou se distanciam da norma padrão. Na metodologia, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo, a fim de coletar dados relativos a produções textuais escritas de alunos surdos, para verificar suas especificidades e diferenças com relação à produção textual escrita e formal em LP. Os resultados mostraram que todos os textos são semelhantes, pois apresentam, por exemplo, frases curtas, ausência de elementos gramaticais da LP, como flexão de tempo verbal, gênero ou número, etc. A concordância nominal e verbal mostrou-se inadequada, muito provavelmente em razão do fato de que esses alunos não realizaram tarefas concisas de leitura, pois, durante as atividades em sala, muitos alunos demonstraram resistência em estudar a língua portuguesa por acharem muito difícil.

Published: March 2022

The study aims mainly to evaluate the legal regulation of evidence in cybercrime in the United Arab Emirates compared to the provisions of Islamic laws by explaining the concept of cybercrime, its types, elements, and ways to confront it. The study will examine the legal and judicial framework to combat cybercrime in the United Arab Emirates, and define the means, conditions, the evidentiary requirements of cybercrime in Islamic law and UAE legislation. The researcher has used the descriptive-analytical method in his research. The study concludes with several results. The most important of which is that cybercrime differs from its traditional counterpart in nature and methods of gathering evidence to prove it. The study also concludes that there are difficulties in proving electronic evidence, in addition to the fact that the UAE legislator did not provide for means of evidence for cybercrimes. The study also concludes with several recommendations. There is also a need to enact legislation that compels technical companies and social media platforms to ask users and customers to provide personal documents that prove their identities when registering on any platform on the Internet, these documents will serve as an "electronic fingerprint”.
