GitOps: Modern Infrastructure and Application Management Approach
(2024-05-09) Yuvzhenko, Denys
GitOps is an innovative approach to managing infrastructure and applications that uses version control tools to automate deployments and ensure reliability in IT environments. This method allows development and operations teams to interact more efficiently, speeding up changes and reducing the risk of human error.
By centralizing configuration management through Git, teams can easily track all changes and maintain a high level of security.
EXAMINATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF UXO AND WEAPON RESIDUES DETECTED USING DRONE-BASED AND GROUND-BASED MAGNETOMETER SURVEYS AND QUANTIFIED WITH LABORATORY MAGNETIC AND GEOCHEMICAL METHODS
(2024-05-14) Bondar, Ksenia
Large areas in Ukraine undergo missile attacks and artillery shelling resulting in contamination of land with with UXO, weapon residues and small size particulate matter. Weapon residues are sources of organic and inorganic harmful substances including heavy metals. They subsequently translocate to water, thus increasing the risk of human exposure. We propose to use the magnetic method as a tool for quantification of soil pollution with military-related HM emissions.
An increasing body of literature discusses topsoil magnetic measurements used as a proxy for HMs pollution from industrial and urban sources. Hopefully, magnetic methods could be applied in areas of battle fields, small-arm shooting ranges, artillery, mortar and rocket ranges, and grenade courts.
The action plan includes in-situ magnetometer surveys and magnetic susceptibility mapping, soil sampling and laboratory magnetic and geochemical measurements. Polluted soils and surface deposits are studied comparatively to unpolluted ones at the areas affected by the war in Ukraine.
