Seasonal variation of 222Rn levels was studied in the dwellings in U-Cu mineralized area of East Singhbhum, Jharkhand, India. Copper mining and processing industry is operational in this area for the last hundred years. Copper minerals of this region contain a significant fraction of uranium and the decay products. To measure the activity concentration of 222Rn, LR-115, type-II solid-state nuclear plastic track detector was used in an indigenously developed radon dosimeter cup. A higher value of 222Rn activity concentration was recorded in some of the dwellings in the mineralized zone. The results at different locations adjoining the facilities show that the 222Rn activity concentration varies to a great extent following an approximate log-normal distribution. The observed range varied from 29.1 and 314.6 Bq m-3 with an overall geometric mean of 72.3 Bq m-3 and geometric standard deviation 1.67. Further, in poorly ventilated dwellings 222Rn levels were higher compared to the properly ventilated houses. The peak activity concentration of 222Rn was recorded during winter (December-February). Appreciably lower activity concentration of radon was observed during summer and rainy seasons. The results reflect that the levels are higher than the global average indoor activity concentration of 40 Bq m-3 (UNSCEAR-1993) for 222Rn, but are comparable to the studies carried out in similar types of geological formations.Keywords

People around the world have increasingly realized the need of Spiritual health to attain best possible wellness status, irrespective of being theist or atheist and irrespective of their cast, creed, nationality, sex, age etc. Health professionals as well as common masses have increasingly felt the need of spiritual health, to attain overall wellness of people. The objective of the present research study was to measure and compare Spiritual Health scores of males and females as well as different educational group. To compare the Spiritual Health levels of all the participants of the current study Spiritual Health Scale (SHS-2011) developed at National Institute of Health and Family Welfare contains 114 items, 6 constructs and 3 domains was used. Significant finding of the current study was the Spiritual Health scores of all Females respondents (n=128) when compared and contrasted with all Male respondents (n=332) were significant higher on the three domains namely, Self-Evolution, Self-Actualization and Transcendence and 5 constructs, namely, Wider Perspective, Nurturance Art, Engineering from Within, Deeper Meaning and Universal Love. Curiously the scores between males and females did not show a significant difference when compared on the construct of 'Considering oneself as a part of the Supreme'.Keywords
