Abbreviations can not only simplify the documentation, but also significantly complicate the lives of ordinary citizens. Without contextualization, it is almost impossible to correctly determine what a set of letters means. For example, in the abbreviation PPP, the decryption directly depends on the scope, and even if it is indicated, it is desirable to give a detailed name of the term in the document in order to avoid misunderstanding on the part of the client or partner. There are widely known and unambiguous abbreviations that are familiar to a wide range of consumers: LLC (limited liability company), shopping and entertainment center (shopping and entertainment center). But what about less obvious terms?
Where can I find the abbreviation PPP
In most cases, an ordinary person hears this new and unusual set of sounds when contacting doctors, and most often these are young mothers who bring their newborns to a pediatrician. This is not necessarily a diagnosis, sometimes it's just the name of the vaccine.
The mysterious abbreviation PPP, the decoding of which has to be either verified by a specialist or searched for an answer on its own, is found in the following industries:
- the medicine;
- production;
- weapons sphere;
- metallurgy;
- aviation;
- Army or MES mission.
It is possible that this is not a complete list, because every day there are new terms that require reduction, and coincidences here are quite likely.
Diagnosis and medical prognosis
Many young mothers are very frightened when a pediatrician with a worried expression on her face writes an incomprehensible “CNS PPP” into the medical record. In this case, the decryption is far from always issued, and the anxious parent can experience real stress. We are talking about the consequences of perinatal damage to the central nervous system in an infant. That is, during pregnancy, the fetus was exposed to some negative factors, which in a certain way affected the development of the baby in general and his nervous system in particular.
In fact, CNS SPT is not a diagnosis. This is a kind of introductory word, which must be followed by specifics - in what exactly is this defeat expressed, how did it affect the baby and what caused the syndrome. The list of all possible syndromes can take more than one page, while one child may show symptoms of several simultaneous syndromes at once. In fact, everything is not so tragic, because our diagnosticians have one common problem.
Features of domestic diagnostics
Physicians throughout the former USSR are prone to overdiagnosis, and neurologists are especially prone to this. Despite the fact that in infants up to three months of age, increased muscle tone is one of the normal options, doctors prefer to play it safe and assume the worst in order to exclude this diagnosis as soon as possible after a more thorough examination. The vast majority of babies with increased or decreased muscle tone immediately receive a presumptive diagnosis of PPP, and hospital staff do not always give a decryption.
If this is a variant of the norm, then most often it is corrected with a gentle delicate massage. There are enough a couple of courses to restore tone to average performance. Drug treatment is required only after a detailed examination, confirmation and specification of the diagnosis. Therefore, there is no sense in panic ahead of time.
Compulsory vaccination
All children should be vaccinated. The exception is motivated medical practice of narrow specialists. Temporary refusal of vaccinations is practiced in order to prevent the aggravation of the condition of the child if he is ill with something. After recovery, parents are still encouraged to vaccinate, and among other names, there is an SPP vaccine. Decoding in this case is very simple - it is a vaccine against polio. Depending on the vaccines that are used, the vaccine complex may vary. Pharmacology is booming, and combination vaccines no longer surprise anyone. Indeed, it is easier to vaccinate a child once against several diseases than to make several injections.
Organization of production
For the balanced operation of any industrial enterprise, a certain personnel structure is required. As an example, we can consider a very simplified scheme: one engineer and technical worker has a certain number of workers, junior employees, maintenance and administrative personnel are required.
The number of the RFP (interpretation of the term industrial and industrial personnel) is an important parameter that allows you to timely adjust the personnel structure, provide for the necessary expenses, and coordinate measures to comply with labor protection standards.
Weapons sphere
Among a variety of weapons, almost every person who has ever entered the shooting range is familiar with spring-piston pneumatics (SPP). These are the very guns that shoot with simple light bullets from the Soviet era, which was manufactured by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. In addition to the cheapest shooting rifles, sports pneumatics can be found on sale, and some models are even suitable for hunting small game.
Large calibers in the IFR are not so common. Caliber 5.5 can still be found, but a rather exotic caliber 6.35 still has to be searched. It is important to remember that a large-caliber IFR implies that the owner has permission, because such pneumatic weapons can cause quite serious injuries.
Production processes
In metallurgy and some other production processes, one can also find the abbreviation PPP. Decoding - loss on ignition. This is a characteristic of the material (clay, ceramic mixtures, silicates), indicating weight loss when heated to a certain temperature.
In the process of calcination, moisture evaporates, possible organic inclusions burn out, gases are released. As a result, the finished product is lighter than the original material weighed. This parameter is necessary for production calculations and accurate determination of the cost of the product.
Other areas
You can meet the same abbreviations in very different areas of life. In aviation, there are flight rules for instrumentation, and in the army or rescue services there is a mobile power point, both of which are BCPs. Decryption always depends on the context, without it it is impossible to explain to an outsider what exactly is meant. At the same time, abbreviations may have options and additions.
For example, in some cases, a mobile food center is supplemented by specificity or an expanded meaning. There is an abbreviation for PPPs, and this is a moving food supply point. The meaning in this case varies from service to service. Most often, the first option is a certain analogue of the field kitchen, and the second is a mobile food warehouse with an organized distribution system.
Abbreviations are traditionally used as convenient abbreviations for maintaining documentation, can be used in the conversation of specialists in a particular industry and, in many ways, are similar to slang. At the same time, you should not abuse them in public speeches - this significantly impoverishes speech and is relevant only to the appropriate audience. For example, if this is a speech by a chief engineer or personnel officer to production employees. In other cases, it is recommended to adhere to literary norms and, if possible, to give readers or listeners a transcript to avoid misinterpretation.
