- Frequency of some habits among youth regarding their parents' occupation
- The aim of this study, is to inquire the influence that parents' occupation makes on some habits of youth. The sample was composed of 1611 students, from the University of Novi Sad, 849 male (52,70%) and 762 female (47,30%.). The mean age was 20,8 year. In order to obtain the data social-economic questionnaire was used, following the routine health-examination procedure, for systematic control of students. The questionnaire consisted of items concerning habits of smoking, alcohol consuming and physical inactivity. The variable of parents' occupation was arrangement into four categories: working-job, administrative-job, agriculture-job, and the others. The data was submitted to descriptive-analysis, and Pearson chi square test (contingency coefficient C and Cramer V). No significant correlation between parents' occupation and examined habits was found. .

- Functional abilities of young football players and sedentary children
- Physiological workload during a football practice as well as a match is quite high due to high intensity which must be maintained over longer periods of time, or at least until the end of a match. Football requires excellent aerobic and anaerobic abilities, which can increase the complexity of the contemporary training technology. In this study, 240 boys were tested, aged 7-14. 120 participants were enrolled in the football school SPC 'Vojvodina', and had practiced the sport since they were 7 years old. Together they made up the experimental group, which was divided into 4 subgroups: 1) 7-8 years, 2) 9-10 y, 3) 11-12 y, and, 4)13-14 y. The control group was comprised of 120 sedentary boys who did not engage in any organised sport, but had physical education classes in school twice a week. This group was also divided into age subgroups in an identical fashion as the experimental group. The assessment of the boys' functional abilities was done with the Lorenzo (FSLORN) and Bergman tests (FSBERG). With the sole exception of the youngest subgroup (7-8 y), for which no differences were observed. The magnitude of these statistically significant differences was directly proportional to the intensity of the tests. The differences between footballers and sedentary boys for the 9-10 y and 11-12 y subgroups were greater on the Lorenzo test, and for the 13-14 y-old boys on the Bergman test.

- Functional status assessment after neuroinfections
- The purpose of this paper is to describe the influence of the disease and its consequences on health-related quality of life through some physical components. The study included 122 patients who suffered from viral and bacterial CNS infections and were treated at Infectious Diseases Clinic in Novi Sad. The patients were separated into two groups: cured and cured with sequelae. The data about the course and the outcome of the disease were provided from the history of the disease. SF-36 questionnaire (The MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey) was used for the quality of life assessment. The survey was undertaken 6 months and 12 months after the appearance of acute disease. Initial results showed that 65,7% of cured patients with sequelae had serious difficulties with physical functioning; 74,3% of them had physical health limitations and more than a half of the patients in this group described their general health status as poor with worsening tendencies. Less than one-third in the group of cured patients had limitations of everyday activities, and almost half of them described their general health status as poor. The final results revealed that serious difficulties with physical functioning persisted in 45,7 % of cured patients with sequelae, 54,3% of them had poor physical health and one-fifth of them had poor general health status. In the group of cured patients, only 11,9% of them s20 had some limitations of everyday activities, every sixth patient had difficulties with physical functioning and every eighth patient in this group described his/her general health status as poor. The research results show the significance of the new concept of sickness and health which purpose is to discover and suppress causes of a disease as early as possible as well as impede disease development and its consequences by preventive measures and thus enhance and preserve people's health.

- Gender ideology in the discourse of the youth
- While gender order is defined as a social system of divisions based on gender-class rules, tasks, obligations, freedoms and limits (Eckert&McConnell-Ginet, 2003: 34), gender ideology is defined as a cluster of beliefs that manages the participation of people in gender order (Eckert&McConnell-Ginet, 2003: 26). Gender stereotypes that have an influence on the creation of gender ideologies can also have an immense influence on the communicative approach of both speakers and interlocutors (Eckert, McConnell-Ginet, 2003: 197). Therefore, this paper defines the impact of gender ideology on language usage, with specific reference to the discourse of the youth. Having in mind that gender division is involved, the paper analyses the usage of gender sensitive language. After the theoretical introduction to gender ideology and the division of egalitarian and traditional gender ideology, the paper also includes a research regarding the usage of gender sensitive language in the discourse of the youth, based on their gender ideology. The paper confirms the main hypothesis that those students who cherish traditional gender ideology do not use gender sensitive language, while those students who cherish egalitarian gender ideology use gender sensitive language in everyday communication.

- Genetic alterations of tumor suppressor gene in sporadic colorectal cancers
- Colorectal cancer with its frequency, high mortality rate as well as many etiological unknowns is a challenge to contemporary science. Finally, genetic information could be used in near future for prevention of colorectal cancer, its early diagnosis and selection for the most suitable hospital treatment. In this study, we analysed genetic alterations of tumor suppressor genes and the possibility of quick and efficient screening method for identification of colorectal cancer. The study consisted of 54 samples of tumor and surrounding healthy tissue of patients with colorectal cancer, which is clasificated according to Bethesda and Amsterdams criterias. The investigation showed that genetic alterations of tumor suppressor gene NM 23 were present in 19/35 (54,29%) samples, and tumor suppressor gene p53 in 18/35 (51,43%), APC in 18/35 (51,43%), DCC2 tumor suppressor gene in 12/35 (34,29%), tumor suppressor gene RB1 in 8 /35 (22, 86%) and DCC 1 in 10/35 ( 28,57%) tumor tissue.

- Genetic analysis of allelic variants, single-step mutations, three allelic variants of the 15 STR loci in the population of Northeast Bosnia
- Diversity of nuclear DNA microsatellite markers were analyzed in a reference sample of the population of northeast Bosnia. 437 samples taken from unrelated individuals were processed and three samples of paternity proof were shown. Detection effectiveness profile of the research, points to a valid choice of method of extraction, amplification and genotyping STR loci with PowerPlextm16. Genetic analysis of allelic variants of the 15 STR loci detected 17 samples determined as microvariants. Samples were divided into 15 different allelic variants at 7 different loci, and are: in locus D7S820, D16S539, D3S1358, D18S51, PENTA D, PENTA E and in locus vWA. Genetic analysis of mutations in cases of paternity determined three examples of single-step mutations in the loci FGA, Penta D and D3S1358. Genetic analysis of observed STR loci detected three allelic variant of genotype combination 7/10/11.3 in locus D7S820 Type II.

- Genetic characteristics of Tuzla population in consideration of six qualitative fist properties complex
- The varying nature of individual features in the observed group could be described according to different criteria. Some individual features occur in the compatible form, the other occur in two other forms (subtypes) and the others occur in three or more different subtypes. This work carries the first comprehensible population-genetic analysis fenotypes of the population in Tuzla with regard to complex of six system quantitative fenotype variation of fist. The anthroposcopy of chosen dimorph features includes: the extensiveness of constant nuckle of thumb (dht); the extensiveness of proximate nuckle of thumb (pht); 'digital index' (L); a position of phalang of little finger (rcf); a shape of nails (ln); a hairness of middle digital falang (d). There were 1163 boys totally analysed in elementary schools, who were born in the period between 1980 to 1987. The statistical significant differences of gene frequency was observed between the observed and expected gene frequency. The established values of relative frequency of recessive allelogene (hairness of the medium digital falang qd=0.99; a shape of nails qln=0.57; the extensiveness of proximate ankle of thumb qpht=0.94) in the system of fenotype of the observed complex of variations do not fit in the range of values of this indication of the preferred cluster's samples in the Bosnia and Hercegovina's population. The frequency of other observed fist fenotypes are in the range of qualitative variations for the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, a constant frequency of recessive fenotype (qd - the obsence of hairs on the medium digital falang of the ring finger), in the complete pattern fits in the range of varying value of this parameter in the set of chosen parts of the world population in USA (the Black people qd=0.91).

- Genetic structure of indigenous and migratory populations in the area of Tuzla region considering some static and dynamic-morphological properties
- Genetic structure of two human populations, indigenous and migratory population in the area of the Tuzla region, was analyzed with respect to some static and dynamic-morphological properties. The analyzed genetic data were collected by direct observation and survey of 472 pupils of school age. The investigated parameters of genetic heterogeneity were estimated by: analysis of the frequency of recessive phenotypes for every observed property, t-test analysis, and assessment of intragroup variation by analysis of Wahlund variance. Based on the obtained results it was observed that the frequency of the recessive homozygote for most of the analyzed properties was slightly higher in migratory populations. All values obtained by Wahlund variance analysis indicated a small genetic differentiation.

- Hairiness of the middle phalanx of the hand in the High school pupils in Niš
- The aim of this paper was to explore hairiness of the middle phalanges on both hands fingers in the gym pupils. The total sample was 435 gim pupils in the town Niš, 281 girls and 154 boys aged 15-19 years. Most pupils (N=425) belonged to Serbian nationality. Hairiness and hairless on the middle fallanges of second, third, forth and fifth fingers was detected by inspection with magnifying glass. Results showed that the hairiness was more frequent on the fifth finger of right hand (p=0.05) and left hand (p=0.018) of the boys. Coefficient of the correlation had the highest values for the simultaneous hairiness on the middle falanges of third and forth fingers of the right (Ro=0.721) and left hand (0.653), then third and fifth falanges of right hand (Ro=0.455) and left hand (Ro=0.479) and the smallest, but yet significant values, were found for simultaneous hairiness of the second and fifth fingers of right (Ro=0.305) and left hand (Ro=0.339). The hairiness was present on all four phalangas in only 9 and 11 pupils of the right and left hand, respectively. The investigation of the hairiness on the middle phalangas of both hands in the region of Niš may be, in comparison with anthropological investigations of other regions, important in the investigation of the genetic cause of the hairiness on the middle phalanges. .

- Handedness
- Handedness (dominant arm) is a term used to describe the ability of using right or left arm not only for writing but also for performing delicate and precise tasks. In fact, dominant arm appears even in prehistoric time. From the aspect of evolution, dominant arm is seen as an ability which correlates with speech development, and as such is related to cerebral lateralization. However, various cognitive disorders are connected to the dominant arm. The influence of inheritance and environment are equally important for the dominant arm, however their influence prevents us to determine how a certain arm becomes dominant.

- Harmony and aestetics of facial profile
- From the ancient times a face profile has represented a specific mark of every human being. We can clearly see racial and hereditary characteristics, development discrepancies of the facial skeleton but also emotions and age on it. Such is its specificity that to this day a profile represents a challenge for scientific research from the domain of medical science and anthropology but also as permanent inspiration of the most diverse types of visual arts. The purpose of this lecture is an attempt to classify facial profile in mathematical norms and proportions and also to have it characterized from the harmony and esthetic perspective with a brief historical turn to the profile analysis as well as to the influence that gives recognizable marks to a human face.

- Height-weight relation as factor of selection in swimming
- Toward top sports achievements, there is necessary to do directed selection that will be based to genetic characteristics. The aim of the paper is estimation of height-weight relations at top swimmers that could be used in athletes selection. The research is done on 50 top swimmers and 50 selected swimmers of Central and East Serbia. Body height, body weight, ideal body mass, Body mass index and Ketle index were analyzed. Results of research show that top swimmers are over averaged body height, optimal body height, body mass index presents normal nutrition and Ketle index values are in normal framework. Selected swimmers of Central and East Serbia have lower height values than top swimmers. .
