Can the dissociative PTSD subtype be identified across two distinct trauma samples meeting caseness for PTSD?
Preliminary results of radon survey in thermal spas in V4 countries
Radon concentration was measured in 11 thermal spas in Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary,
Poland, and Slovakia). The results showed that in 84% of spas radon activity concentration is less than
400 Bq·m–3. However, areas with radon activity concentration exceeding 1000 Bq·m–3 were found in the Czech
Republic and Slovakia as well. Preliminary analyses indicated that the highest radon activities in spas were found
in places with thermal pools. Radon concentration in waters used in spas ranged from 0.5 Bq/l to 384 Bq/l. The
influence of radon activity concentration in water on radon activity in the air inside the spa was observed. It was
found to increase indoor radon with increasing radon in the waters. Correlation with indoor radon and radon
in water was more significant for baths and less significant for pool waters. In the cases filling of the bath from
water taps, significantly contribute to the increased radon was observed in the pool and bath areas of the spa

Reference material for natural radionuclides in glass designed for underground experiments
A reference material designed for the determination of natural radionuclides in solid samples (glass pellets) is described and the results of certification are presented. The material has been certified for 7 natural radionuclides (40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, 228Th, 232Th, 235U and 238U). An information value is given for 210Pb. Radon (222Rn) emanation experiments showed results comparable within participating laboratories, however, the number of data and precision was too low to carry out a certification process. The reference material may be used for quality management of analytical laboratories engaged in the high-sensitive analysis of radionuclides in the construction materials of detectors placed in ultra low background underground laboratories
