After an average of 5 years of service in electric vehicles (EVs), where batteries are subject to extreme operating temperatures, hundreds of partial cycles a year and changing discharge rates, lithium-ion batteries are normally retired due to faded capacity and power that fails to meet EVs range requirement. Yet these batteries can live a second life 3-4 times longer, even when they no longer meet EV performance standards, which typically include maintaining 80 percent of their total usable capacity and achieving a resting self-discharge rate of only about 5 percent over a 24-hour period.

Radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second for smokers (between 3-14% depending on the level of exposure). The European Commission and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that 84.000 deaths yearly are caused by residential radon worldwide. The characteristic of the gas makes measurements without the appropriate instruments completely impossible, presenting a higher danger to those exposed to the gas as it cannot be detected by the human being alone. It is not uncommon to find high levels in both residential and public buildings.

There is a growing increase on the complexity of cancer treatment, with the use of biomarkers, image studies and information stored in different services of the hospital. It is very important the role of multidisciplinary medical teams capable of taking therapeutic decisions stemming from the evaluation of different medical information sources. Current workload in the hospitals does not allow to hold the necessary number of tumour board meetings. The preparation of such meetings requires, in average, between 15 and 20 hours of work for each meeting.

The Spanish public entity is an organism which provides support to Catalan municipalities in the development of their powers in public health. The entity is also involved in several innovation projects for the development of new solutions within the health sector. Although rescue operations only constitute 1.9% of the actions required of lifesavers, it is crucial for them to have a flotation device to achieve a favourable outcome in rescues.
