- Elements of characterology in folklore music of Dinaric area
- Dinaric type of man, with all its anthropological, genetic and psychological characteristics presents an orthodox example of patriarchal upbringing and tradition. Regardless of their patriarchalism and apparent insensitivity to other people, in almost every element of their intellectual work (music, dance, sazings, etc.) the fleshly and instinctive, that had to be satisfied regardless of all bans and restraints, and the message doubtless confirms that he did live in accordance with instincts, but at the same time he had to respect criteria of patriarchal moral. In this work the autors cite several songs from this area and analyze it from the perspective of psychology and characterology, finding the elements of love joy and sorrow, cure, passion, women shyness, etc.

- Engagement of children in sports from the city of Belgrade
- Sport is an anthropological constant of childhood and adolescence, and as such insufficiently present form of physical activity in accordance with the conditions of modern life and the needs of young people. The subject of this study is children's engagement in sport in the city of Belgrade. The aim was to determine possible differences in sport's involvement between boys and girls. Nonexperimental research-type survey was carried out on a sample of 1279 respondents of both sexes (female = 640; male =639), aged 10 to 15 years. For the purpose of this study was applied non-standardized questionnaire, open type. The calculation of statistical significance of differences between the groups was performed by the Chi - square test (c2) of independence at the conclusion of the significance level 0.01. On the basis of obtained results there were determined statistically significant differences, therefore it can be concluded that engagement of children in sports, in the city of Belgrade varies according to gender.

- Estimating body composition in 18-year-old girls and boys through the method of bioelectrical impedance analysis
- The purpose of this paper is by comparing the anthropometric and bioelectric-impedance-metric methods to estimate body com position of 18-year-old adolescents from Plovdiv (Bulgaria). In both genders the received average values of the quantity of fat mass by the two methods are practically identical and this fact shows that bio-impedance method can easily be adopted in anthropological practice as newer and easier to implement.

- Ethnopharmacological therapies in the treatment of diabetes in Serbia
- The use of ethnopharmacological therapies is a part of human tradition. For centuries, they have been used in the treatment of diabetes, as well as other illnesses. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of traditional medicine use in Serbia. The study was conducted as an online survey in February 2018. 130 people were surveyed, 55.38 % of which were people diagnosed with diabetes. The most commonly used herbal substituents were M. piperita L. (21 %), traditional herbal mixtures designed to regulate the primary and secondary diabetes complications (15%), M. chamomilla L. (13 %) and pharmaceutical supplements based on traditional recipes (10 %). 100 % of people with diabetes adhere to contemporary pharmacotherapy, while 25.86 % of people without diabetes do not use pharmacotherapy, but exclusively traditional medicine. There is no significant difference between the diabetic population that uses traditional medicine (51.34 %) and the one who does not (48.61 %), whereas in non-diabetic population the difference is significant (p < 0.05) so that 87.93 % of them regularly use medicinal herbs. More women than men use ethnopharmacological treatments (p < 0.05). The age of the respondents and their education also have an impact on the choice of therapy, so ethnopharmacological approaches are the most often used by faculty educated people aged 30 to 50 years. Moreover, people pay attention to the quality of supplements they use, i.e. 57.96 % of people buy them in pharmacies, 29.55 % with certified sellers, and only 12.49 % at the local market.

- Evaluation of the body composition in female Cushings
- Obesity in Cushing's syndrome (CS) is extremely visceral. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of obesity and body composition in CS and nonCS patients. Total fat mass (TFM) and peripheral fat mass (PFM), as well as the rest visceral mass (VM) were determined by Mateigka's equations, and their percentages from the total body mass, PFM% and VM% were also determined. Female Cushings (n=33) with BMI (29.66±4.82 kg/m2) were examined and 66 obese women (O) matched by their BMI (29.56±4.76 kg/m2), and a control group (C) with normal BMI (22.41±1.81 kg/m2) was also examined. CS and O were not significantly different according to their BMI, as well as their TFM, which was 35.59±7.03 kg in O and (36.86±7.76 kg) in CS, but it was significantly lower in C (24.89±5.73 kg). PFM and PFM% were not significantly different between C (17.86±5.89 kg; 28.93±6.39%) and CS (19.27±6.04 kg; 26.19±6.09%), but it was significantly higher in O (27.32±5.86 kg; 35.45±5.43%) compared to C and CS. VM and VM% were not significantly different between C (7.03±2.69kg; 11.83±4.39%) and O (8.27±3.45 kg; 10.96±4.24%), but both of them were significantly lower compared to CS (18.06±4.89 kg; 25.05±6.04%). Conclusion: increase of the TFM in obese women was a result of a preponderant peripheral fat mass increase, but in CS it was a result of an increase of the visceral mass, not peripheral fat mass, confirming significantly increased fat mass accumulation in visceral depots, but not redistribution of the fat mass from the peripheral to visceral parts of the body. .

- Examination of effects of gymnastics teaching of physical education on coordination of 3rd & 4th grade pupils of elementary schools
- Coordination, as the basic motor ability, is very complex, as the level of the movement regulation can change. In addition, the regulation includes energetic mechanisms as well as mechanisms of simple structuring of movement. The battery for the evaluation of coordination consists of the following tests: MPON, MSL3, MONT. During the 2005/06 academic year, a research was conducted so as to determine the effects of current program of physical education teaching on motor abilities coordination of female pupils. The multi-variant procedures were used in this research ant those were: the multi-variant analysis of the variable MANCOVA, MANOVA and the discriminative analysis. Also, the mono-variant procedures were used and those were: the variable analysis ANCOVA, ANOVA and the interval of entrust. After the experimental treatment, i.e. at the final testing, significant differences were found with female pupils in experimental and control groups concerning the all tests for the evaluation of coordination. The basic conclusion is that the female pupils of experimental group achieved significantly higher teaching effects than the control group, in view of partly increased motor abilities, being the result of the effects of the experimental treatment, as well as other external and internal factors.

- Examination of effects of gymnastics teaching of physical education on static strength of 3rd & 4th grade pupils of elementary schools
- In this work, the subject of the research is only one segment of the anthropological area, which refers to the appearance of appropriate motor abilities-coordination. Static strength is ability to retain in nonmetrics contraction of muscle that body is preserved in certain position. Static work as physical work doesn't exist in static strength, because development doesn't exist, but quality of static work the muscle should start with physiology's opinion of work. Static work is used for demonstration the power during that last. The battery for the evaluation of static strength consists of the following tests: MVIS, MIPR, MINS. During the 2005/06 academic year, a research was conducted so as to determine the effects of current program of physical education teaching on motor abilities coordination of female pupils. The research involved a total sample of 212 girls from the 3rd and 4th grade of elementary school. The subjects were classified in three experimental and one control groups. The first experimental group was made of 59 students and they were practicing according to planning instruction where the artistic gymnastics had the primary part. The second experimental group was made of 51 students and they were practicing according to planning instruction where the rhythmic gymnastics had the primary part. The third experimental group was made of 54 students and they were practicing according to planning instruction where the gymnastics had the primary part. The control group of 48 students was practicing according to official instructional plan and program for P.E. of the Republic of Serbia. At the beginning of the academic year, initial (first) measurement was performed, followed by experimental final (second) measurement at the end of experiment. Research data was processed using SPSS standard statistics procedure. The multi-variant procedures were used in this research ant those were: the multi-variant analysis of the variable (MANOVA) and the discriminative analysis. Also, the mono-variant procedures were used and those were: the variable analysis (ANOVA) and the interval of entrust. After the experimental treatment, i.e. at the final testing, significant differences were found with female pupils in all three experimental and control groups concerning the all tests for the evaluation of static strength. The basic conclusion is that the female pupils of all, experimental groups achieved significantly higher teaching effects than the control group, in view of partly increased motor abilities, being the result of the effects of the experimental treatment, as well as other external and internal factors.

- Examination of effects of rhythmic gymnastics teaching of physical education on functional abilities of 3rd & 4th grade pupils of elementary schools
- In this work, the subject of the research is only one segment of the anthropological area, which refers to the appearance of appropriate morphological characteristic. The research involved a total sample of 99 girls from the 3rd and 4th grade of elementary school. The subjects were classified in experimental and control groups. The experimental group was made of 51 students and they were practicing according to planning instruction where the rhythmic gymnastics had the primary part. The control group of 48 students was practicing according to official instructional plan and program for P.E. of the Republic of Serbia. The battery for the evaluation of functional abilities consists of the following tests: vital capacity by spirometer, Lorenc's test and heart puls in peace. Research data was processed using SPSS standard statistics procedure. There were calculated: Basic statistics parameters (mean, standard deviation, Min/Max numeric score, interval of confidence, coefficient of variation), Descriptive statistic parameters, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the evaluation of normality of test result distribution of applied variables. The multi-variant procedures were used in this research and those were: the multi-variant analysis of the variable (MANOVA) and the discriminative analysis. Also, the mono-variant procedures were used and those were: the variable analysis (ANOVA) and the interval of entrust. After the experimental treatment, i.e. at the final testing, significant differences were found with female pupils in experimental and control groups concerning the two of four tests for the evaluation of functional abilities.

- Examination of tooth shade in relation to age and gender
- Physiological aging process leads to changes in all tissues and organs of the human organism. Changes of the tooth color with age occur as a result of the pulp chamber reduction and deposition of secondary dentine, when dentine become thicker and less transparent. The aim of this study was to determine degree of the tooth color change in relation to the age of patients and the gender. The study included 166 patients, aged from 18 to 77 years. All patients were divided into four age groups. Determination of the tooth color was performed by visual method using the Philips zoom shade guide chart in the middle third of the healthy upper central incisors. The results showed that 21,7% of the patients between 18-30 years had dominant light tooth color, 12.9% of the patients from 31-45 years had the medium color, and patients from 46-60 and older than 61 years in most cases had dark color of the teeth (9.1% and 21% respectively). The dominant light tooth color was A2, medium color A3, while the most common dark color was A3.5. Women had significantly lighter teeth compared to men. The study showed that younger patients had lighter teeth and that the color of teeth become darker with age.

- Exclusion of identification by negative superposition
- The paper represents the first report of negative superposition in our country. Photo of randomly selected young, living woman was superimposed on the previously discovered female skull. Computer program Adobe Photoshop 7.0 was used in work. Digitilized photographs of the skull and face, after uploaded to computer, were superimposed on each other and displayed on the monitor in order to assess their possible similarities or differences. Special attention was payed to matching the same anthropometrical points of the skull and face, as well as following their contours. The process of fitting the skull and the photograph is usually started by setting eyes in correct position relative to the orbits. In this case, lower jaw gonions go beyond the face contour and gnathion is highly placed. By positioning the chin, mouth and nose their correct anatomical position cannot be achieved. All the difficulties associated with the superposition were recorded, with special emphasis on critical evaluation of work results in a negative superposition. Negative superposition has greater probative value (exclusion of identification) than positive (possible identification). 100% negative superposition is easily achieved, but 100% positive - almost never. 'Each skull is unique and viewed from different perspectives is always a new challenge'. From this point of view, identification can be negative or of high probability.

- Face types and sizes of dental arches in subjects with class I molar relationship
- The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of three different face types and average values for dental arch size among population of Republic of Srpska. With this research we wanted to determine whether there are any differences in the sagittal and transversal development of dental arches between males and females. The application of anthropometry in dentistry gives us better understanding and determination of morphological characteristics of the craniofacial system. Data obtained by measuring these parameters is very important in order to make an accurate orthodontic diagnosis. The sample consisted of 300 study subjects with I class dentoalveolar relationship. After determing the face type of each subject, arch parameters were measured on subjects' dental casts. Using facial indices 50.33% of 300 subjects were classified as leptoprosopic, 30.67% as mesoprosopic and 19% as euryprosopic. The average value for interpremolar width was 36.75 mm for maxillary dental arch and for mandibular dental arch was 35.93 mm. The average intermolar width of the maxillary dental arch was 46.53 mm and for mandibular dental arch was 46.52 mm. The average value for maxillary dental arch was 24,22 mm while the same parameter for mandibular dental arch was 19,32 mm. The comparison of average values for dental arch height and width in females and males showed significant differences between these parameters.
