The document is a repetitive text titled "Econlaw Chula 16" that is authored by Kunthamanee U. It consists of the same phrase "Econlaw Chula 16 By Kunthamanee U." repeated multiple times without any other details.Tsunami warning system
This document summarizes a presentation about tsunami warning systems. It defines what a tsunami is, noting that it is a large wave created by undersea disturbances that can cause massive destruction. It then explains that the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 80,000 could have been less devastating if an effective warning system had been in place. Such a system uses detectors on the seafloor to detect disturbances, sends data to buoys at the surface which transmit to satellites and then ground stations, allowing for warnings. It also briefly describes how tsunamis propagate and grow in size as they reach shallow coastal waters.
Chernobyl-nuclear disaster(Man made disasters)
The Chernobyl disaster was a tragic nuclear accident that occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. An explosion and fire released large amounts of radioactive particles into the atmosphere, spreading radiation over much of Europe. In the aftermath, over 30 people died from acute radiation sickness, many of whom were firefighters trying to contain the accident. The disaster contaminated wide areas and caused billions in cleanup costs, demonstrating the dangers of nuclear accidents.
Three mile island
El documento presenta información sobre el accidente nuclear de Three Mile Island en 1979, uno de los primeros accidentes importantes en una central nuclear. Se analizan las causas del accidente, los daños ocasionados y las lecciones aprendidas sobre la seguridad de las centrales nucleares y la capacitación de los operadores. El accidente generó dudas sobre los riesgos de la energía nuclear a pesar de sus beneficios como fuente de energía barata.
Three Mile Island Meltdown
Human error led to a meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant on March 28, 1979. A stuck open valve in the plant drained cooling water from the reactor core. Operators did not recognize that this was a loss of coolant accident. As the core heated up with no cooling, steam began forming within it. Operators further reduced the flow of water to the core, allowing damage to begin. Within two hours, the zirconium cladding around the fuel rods began to fail, releasing radioactive gases and indicating the start of core damage.
Three Mile Island
The Three Mile Island accident was a partial meltdown of reactor number 2 at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg on March 28, 1979. It was the most significant accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history. The accident occurred when the plant's cooling system failed, causing a partial meltdown of the reactor core and the release of small amounts of radioactive gases and radioactive iodine into the environment.

Atomic bomb blasts in hiroshima and nagasaki
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 marked the first and only use of nuclear weapons in war. The U.S. dropped atomic bombs called "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" on the cities, resulting in massive destruction and at least 200,000 immediate deaths from blast effects and radiation sickness. Long-term health effects persisted for decades, including higher rates of cancer, birth defects, and other issues. The bombings contributed to Japan's surrender and ended World War II, but also demonstrated the immense destructive power of nuclear weapons and their lingering effects on populations and the environment.
What is ring_of_fire_
The Ring of Fire is an area in the Pacific Ocean that experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It contains over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes and is home to approximately 90% of the world's earthquakes. The Ring of Fire forms a path around the Pacific Ocean basin due to the subduction and collision of tectonic plates in the region. Countries like Japan that fall within the Ring of Fire are susceptible to volcanic and seismic activity.
The new zealand_earthquake
A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Kermadec Islands of New Zealand at a depth of 20 km. This prompted a tsunami warning for the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand, and Tonga.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

For examples of_nuclear_accidents
- 1. For examples of the nuclear accidents s1180212 Taisuke Kasai
- 2. Beginning of the presentation ● Recently, the Fukushima nuclear plants are broken by the Tohoku earthquake. ● We expose people working and living around the Fukushima nuclear plants. ● But the nuclear accidents had happened on the world, and it had happened in Japan. ● We should learn to have to do something for the nuclear plants from the nuclear accidents happened now. ● Let's know about the nuclear accidents.
- 3. Before to know the nucler accidents ● We should know effects of radiation on human health. ● The radiation is measured as rem. ● When you are exposed to ○ near 100 rems, you have ■ nausea, vomiting, headache, some loss of white blood cell ○ near 300 rems, you lose your hair. ○ 450 rems, you can be died. ○ 800 rems, it is certain that you are died.
- 4. Two atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1) ● The atomic bomb is a very cruel weapon. ● Many people were died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the atomic bombs. ● But there are more people killed by the radiation than people killed by the actual explosion . ● For example, a case of 14-old boy exposed to radiation. ○ Two days later, the first signs come out on him. ○ Nine days later, his hair began to fall out, and his white blood cells decreased.
- 5. Two atomic bombs dropped is Hiroshima and Nagasaki (2) ○ On the seventeenth day he began to blood from his nose. ○ On the twenty-first day he died. ● At that time, ○ There are only the few surviving doctors, and they hadn't examined and treated radiation patients. ○ So, they didn't know the cause of the symptoms and the method of treatment for radiation. ● As a result, Many people died by the radiation ● If the doctors knew the cause and the method of treatment , there may be some people living now.
- 6. The nuclear plants accident in Chernobyl (1) ● The nuclear plants accident in Chernobyl is more serious accident. ● Because of happening the nuclear accident, though people used the Chernobyl to generate 1000 megawatt electricity, they didn't have any question plants, ignored, and were careless about the nuclear. ● So they were late handling the nuclear plants accidents.
- 7. The nuclear plants accident in Chernobyl (2) ● in the time of the nuclear accident, the nuclear plants spread the radiation like the nuclear bomb. ● The explosion having gusses and radiation had happened because the people didn't think about the Chernobyl nuclear plants. ● The radiation is in around the Chernobyl nuclear plants now. ● They should had thought about the nuclear plants before the nuclear accidents.
- 8. Things learning for the nuclear accidents ● We should needs to know the nuclear plants and the exposure of radiation, and prepare countermeasure against the nuclear accidents. ● And we should prevent the nuclear accidents. ● Because, the radiation remain for a long time. ● Finally, ○ The nuclear accidents must not be happenned. ○ For that reason, we should know about the nuclear and make measures against it.
