Abstract
Background: The Palmaris Longus is a variable muscle with differing frequencies of presence in different ethnicities, populations and regions. Our study is a cross-sectional study measuring the frequency of the muscle in our sample size in Islamabad. Our aim is to determine the frequency of the palmaris longus muscle in the population of Islamabad, Pakistan. Absence of the palmaris longus does not result in any functional disability. Our objective is to improve our knowledge and spread awareness of the variability of the palmaris longus muscle and its use as a graft tissue at other sites of injury.
Methodology: The presence of the palmaris longus was determined using 4 tests involving various hand movements. Observation of the tendon of the palmaris longus at the wrist confirmed its presence. A sample of 389 participants from the residents of Islamabad was picked randomly. This study was conducted in 2019 at Shifa College of Medicine (Shifa Tameer e Millat University).
Results: Absence of palmaris longus in males and females was 4.7% and 6% respectively. Bilateral absence was seen only in 1% of the study population. Unilateral absence in the right and left hands were seen to be 1.3% and 3.3% respectively. In ambidextrous persons, palmaris longus was present in both hands. In right and left-handed persons, 4.80% and 19.2% of the study population exhibited palmaris longus absence, correspondingly.
Conclusion: Overall, the palmaris longus was absent in 5.7% of the entire sample. Further studies can be conducted to establish a relationship between the presence of the palmaris longus muscle and different determinants such as ethnicity and hand dominance etc

Abstrak—Lebih dari 65% energi listrik industri dikonsumsi oleh motor, yang saat ini sangat umum digunakan sebagai penggerak utama pada sebagian besar mesin untuk aplikasi idustri dan pertambangan. Dasar sebuah motor induksi yaitu menggunakan prinsip induksi elektromagnetik diamana gaya gerak listrik diinduksi dan melintasi konduktor listriknya ketika medan magnet berputar. Kecepatan putar pada motor induksi dipengaruhi oleh nilai frekuensi tegangan yang masuk ke dalam motor. Ketika beban bertambah, kecepatan putar motor juga akan berubah. Variable Speed Drive digunakan untuk mendapatkan nilai kecepatan putaran motor dengan mengatur nilai frekuensi dari tegangan yang akan masuk ke motor walaupun jumlah beban yang digunakan bisa berubah sewaktu-waktu. Pengujian dilakukan dengan melakukan analisa terhadap proses kerja perangkat kecepatan variabel (VSD) untuk pengaturan kecepatan motor induksi 3 fasa. Parameter pengujian berupa arus stator (Is), kecepatan putar rotor (Nr), dan torsi elektromagetik (Te). Berdasarkan hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan, diketahui bahwa pemasangan VSD pada motor memiliki kemampuan untuk mengatur kecepatan motor dengan baik.

Published: May 2023

Особенности лингвопрагматики обнаруживают интересное воплощение в неформальной коммуникации. В коммуникации российских студентов в социальных сетях, посвящённой организации образовательной деятельности, очевидно наличие оппозиции «мы – они», более типичной для политического дискурса и соответственно привлекающей внимание исследователей именно в аспекте политической лингвистики. Авторами на большом эмпирическом материале прослежены особенности языковой экспликации данной оппозиции в студенческих сообщениях периода пандемии в наиболее популярной российской социальной сети «ВКонтакте». Цель исследования – выявить особенности лингвистической экспликации данной оппозиции и декодировать прагматические установки авторов сообщений на большом эмпирическом материале. Анализируются такие особенности лингвистической экспликации оппозиции «мы – они», как лексические репрезентанты данной дихотомии, метонимические переносы часть – целое (индивид – группа; частный случай – общая закономерность), регулярные выступления от коллективного лица, обращения к группе, риторические вопросы, негативные оценки, манипуляции, групповые нарративы, ирония и сарказм (средства дискредитации оппонентов), речевая агрессия и др. Результаты представляют интерес как в аспекте выявления особенностей речевого поведения личности и коллективного, массового мироощущения в условиях «своей» аудитории, так и в плане исследования специфики речевого воздействия в разных типах дискурса.
