The information system involves all the resources managing information within a team. It mainly relies on the computer network. Prevention and protection measures are vital, especially in a radiotherapy department. They will aim to preserve the whole staff from potential risks connected with passwords, suspicious emails, specific websites, or USB flash drives. Also, they will consist in maintaining updated operating systems and software, activating antivirus programs and firewalls, and getting a map of the whole network and its users. Finally, it is necessary to anticipate failure scenarios and to set up recovery plans to continue the activity with lower resources.

In 2022, the European Union put forward the REPowerEU plan in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, aiming at enhancing short-term energy security by diversifying imports and reducing natural gas demand while accelerating the deployment of renewable alternatives in the long term. Here, we quantify the life cycle environmental impacts of both REPowerEU's short-term measures, including the controversial extended coal-fired power plant operations, and how the first year of the crisis was managed in practice. We find that the policy measures' impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be negligible, although they could have detrimental effects on other environmental categories.

Despite progress in standardizing healthcare data with the FHIR format, hospitals often lack efficient platforms for transferring PHRs, leading to redundant tests and delayed treatments. To address these challenges, we propose a decentralized PHR management system leveraging Personal Data Stores (PDS) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) in line with the Web 3.
