Pro-environmental behavior is a broad construct of individual activity that minimizes harm to or benefits the environment. Different researches have given different terminology for different aspect of those environment oriented behavior. Present research compares between the three different constructs of pro-environmental behavior at workplace which has been extensively researched upon in the last decade- employee green behavior, voluntary workplace green behavior and organizational citizenship behavior towards environment. Theoretical comparisons of the three variables were done. Comparisons among the three variables were also done by collecting data using measures of three variables. Data was collected from 234 employees from chemical manufacturing firm. Factor analysis was done to find out factors. Result of factor analysis showed similarities among the variables. The items of three scales loaded into three factors – daily pro-environmental activities, lesser consumption of resources and alternative pro-environmental steps. The similarities among the variables along with theoretical contribution are discussed. Comparison among three major initiatives have been done.. A comprehensive tool which has been suggested can be used by future researchers to measure environmental behavior at workplace.

Motherhood is often claimed as the most positive and fulfilling experience. Nevertheless, there exist several women whose motherhood was associated with suffering, ill-health and even death. The condition is graver in few states of India which are socioeconomically backward (also called Empowered Action Group of states). The present study adopted a narrative description of various key indicators of maternal health as outlined in the NFHS-3 and NFHS-4 state reports. The prime focus was to examine whether the performance of those states has got better or worse in these two survey reports. The study has also discussed various factors related to the performance of each key indicator of maternal health. The overall limiting success of maternal health status in these states calls for improvement in execution of various maternal health related activities.

Periods are part of normal sexual health for women during their reproductive years. In addition to various social and religious stigmas during those “bad stains” days, period cramps (also called dysmenorrhea) accompany us to make the situation worse. Studies have showered numerous data regarding various pharmacological interventions (PIs) and non-pharmacological interventions (non-PIs). Non-PIs have been preferred mostly in cases where PIs are contraindicated. Fish oil supplements or omega-3 supplements are one of the safest non-PIs. The present study attempted to conduct a review of the existing literature to illustrate the aptness and potentiality of fish oil in easing period cramps.

Corona virus disease in 2019, better known as COVID-19, has now become a serious pandemic worldwide after its initial outbreak in Wuhan, China in late 2019. During its second wave (and subsequent shorter waves), India has observed a massive COVID surge which has inflicted a major impact on the healthcare system. At such crucial times, it becomes critical to maintain preventive and curative health services, especially for the vulnerable group of populations including children, pregnant women and lactating mothers.

Introduction: Since 2017, number of studies involving nutritional status of adolescents using a novel parameter named tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) is soaring high. The concept of TMI was formulated to substitute body mass index (BMI) in case of adolescent population. The present study aims to find TMI values of school-going adolescent girls (aged 10 to 19 years). It also aims to compare the association of TMI and BMI with mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of the subjects. Methods: Height, weight and MUAC were measured using standard procedures. The BMI and TMI were accordingly calculated. The data obtained was tabulated to elucidate age-wise descriptive statistics. Quadratic polynomial regression was employed to yield a general conclusion regarding association of TMI and BMI with MUAC of the subjects. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to check which of the two indices, BMI or TMI, has better ability to predict higher MUAC of the subjects. Results: The ROC-area under curve (AUC) was 0.867 and 0.955 for TMI and BMI respectively. Conclusion: BMI has better association with MUAC. In comparison to TMI, BMI has superior ability in predicting higher MUAC of the subjects.
