- Maxillary labial frenulum attachment level in adults
- Maxillary labial frenulum is a fold of mucous membrane that connects the upper lip and alveolar maxillary bone. The coronary placed frenulum requires surgical treatment. The measurement, classification and representation of the different levels of maxillary labial frenulum has not been studied a lot in literature. For this reason, the objective of this study was to show the classification and determine the presence of different levels of maxillary labial frenulum attachments in young adults. The study included 100 students. Clinical examination of the maxillary labial frenulum was done and the level of the attachment and morphological appearance determined. Statistical analysis was performed with the help of SPSS 11.5. The sample comprised 100 dental students, 75 (75%) of whom were female and 25 (25%) male, the average age was 23.23 ± 3.6. The most common was the gingival attachment of maxillary labial frenulum (76%), papillary (12%), mucous (8%) and the least common was papillary palatal attachment level (2%). According to the morphological manifestation the most common was the simple frenulum (78%).In young adults the most common level of the maxillary labial frenulum attachment was the gingival one and the most common morphological type was the simple one. The least common was the palatal papillary level of frenulum attachment. There was no difference in the prevalence of different levels of maxillary labial frenulum attachment or morphological types between the male and female sexes.

- Measurement of height of bone ridge between molars and corpus of mandible on panoramic radiographs of natural dentition subjects
- Aim. The aim of this investigation was to assess differences of height of mandibular bone ridges, which were measured on determined referent lines toward mandibular base, and on the separate line positioned onto low edges of selected panoramic radiographs. Material and methods. 7 panoramic radiographs of dentate men and 9 panoramic radiographs of natural dentition women, aged from 25 to 56 years were selected. Panoramic dental-films were from the same serial (Kodak T-MATG, USA) using roentgen apparatus (Orthopantomograph 10, Siemens, Germany). There were two procedures of measurements: determination of mandibular corpus and bone ridge height on the line determined between the 1st and the 2nd lower molars toward referent line drawn along a contour of mandibular base, and determination of mandibular corpus and bone ridge height on the basis of measurements of segment of the line determined from lower edge of panoramic radiograph to ridge between the 1st and the 2nd lower molars. Results. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r=0.207) was not significant for all measured heights of mandibular corpus and bone ridges. Conclusion. The results of this investigation did not confirm statistically significant differences of numerical values of bone ridge heights, regardless the fact that there were differences of inclination of lines, used in measurement of heights. .

- Measuring of the percentage of the fat tissue with modified method according to Mateigka and BIA method
- The study involved 80 female examinees, aged 20 and 24. Students of University of Novi Sad (Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Law and Faculty of Philosophy), especially the ones who have never taken any fitness activity before. The aim was to establish whether there was any difference in percentage of the fat tissue established with the old Mateigki method compared to the new method of the electrical impedance. The percentage of adipose tissue was estimated with electronic impedance OTRON BF 300 and measuring of skin folds with CALIPER (as a traditional method). Bioelectronic impedance is a newer method of estimating body composition, which claims that muscles, blood vessels and bone sare parts of body which easily absorb electricity. Body fat has a weak ability of electrical flow. The impedance sends through body the very weak electricity of 50KHZ, which according to the tissue defense estimates fat percentage. The percentage of the fat tissue was established by means of the modified mathematics formula according to Mateigka, in which we incorporated the values of the six skin folds. The results were gotten from each of these methods. The percentage of the fat tissue was 20.10 ± 5.07, which was defined by means of the anthropometric method and the value of 20.18 ± 5.04 was defined with BIA. After statistical analysis of data revealed that there is no difference in the obtained results of measurements. Impedance method is much faster and easier to use compared to the traditional method of using the caliper, and in this case it should be given priority and recommendations for further use.

- Median diastema
- The aim of research was to determine the shape and frequency of median diastema in orthodontic patients of the Dental Clinic in Niš. The research was carried out on 538 (225 males and 313 females) study models. Three shapes of median diastema are defined (parallel, divergent and convergent) and the diameler in the gingival and incisal region was measured by digital nonius. Median diastema is present in 65 patients(12,09%), 31 patients of which are female (9,90%) and 34 patients are male (15, 11%). According to shape, a parallel median diastema is the most frequent in patients to both sexes (76,47% in males and 67,74% and 67,74% in females).

- Menarche of girls in Tuzla canton (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
- At the beginning of the last century in the western European countries the occurrence of the menarche among girls was between 16.5 and 17.5 years of age, but now in larger cities premenarchal period lasts in average between 12.5 and 13 years of age. Menarche is biological phenomenon, which determines the beginning of sexual adulthood among girls. Menarche research is very important: anthropologically, medically and socially. The goal was to determine median age for menarche in Tuzla Canton area; seasional variation of menarche and to determine relation between girls' premenarcal period and their mothers'. Another goal was to see the acceleration trend of menarche comparing our data with data collected from literature.There were 2500 subjects of research (age 10-20), where 1935 filled the questionnaire correctly. All girls live in five TC municipalities.Out of all subject 1453 had menarche. It was determined that all girls had menarche until the age of 17. The median age was calculated with retrospective method (Hadživuković, 1973) and is 12,97 +/- 0.03 years of age. The most girls experience menarche in summer (36.97%) and least in fall (17.61%). .

- Methods and contents of speed development program in the teaching process
- Considerable role in the successful realization of the program's aims in physical education curriculum is attributed to a speed dimension (swift and vigorous movements, ability of rapid acceleration, sudden changes in movement direction, etc.). Movement speed is determined by the speed of muscle contraction which in turn depends on the morphological and bio-chemical characteristics of muscles (part of white and red fibers) and neuro-processes for the control of agonist and antagonist exchange. Exercises which are applied for the improvement of the movement speed should be done with the maximum intensity bearing in mind that the technique of their performance must be adequate to the abovementioned requirements. This paper gives an overview of the basic manifestations of speed and working methods for the improvement of the movement speed. .

- Middle phalangeal hair distribution of Serbian and Albanian high school pupils
- The aim of this paper was to explore hairiness of the middle phalanges on both hands of second, third, forth and fifth fingers of Serbian and Albanian high school pupils. The total sample comprised 425 Serbian pupils (275 girls and 150 boys) in the town of Niš, aged 15!19 years and 299 pupils (160 girls and 139 boys), Albanians from Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, aged 15 - 17 years. There were significant differences of hairiness on the middle phalanges of the second, third, fourth and fifth fingers between Serbian and Albanian populations. The results showed that Serbian population had more frequent hairiness of the third finger of the left hand and combined hairiness of the third and fourth fingers of both left and right hand. Albanian population had more frequent hairiness of the fourth and fifth finger of the right hand and combined hairiness of all middle fingers of the right hand. Also, there were gender differences of the phenotypes of the right and left hands. Males had more frequent combined hairiness of the third, fourth and fifth middle phalanges of the right and left hands. Comparing our results with other findings, a similarity with other European populations was found. .

- Middle phalangeal hair distribution of hairiness in local population in Tuzla canton (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
- Middle phalangeal hair distribution in Bosnia and Herzegovina's population has been investigated earlier (Hadžiselimović i Berberović, 1980; Ahmić, 2005), but present data for Tuzla canton are very poor. The purpose of this study was to analyze the distribution of recessive phenotypic feature 'non hairy phalanx' in seven local populations in Tuzla canton. The presence or absence of hair on middle phalanx of fourth digit in primary school students, 12 to 16 years of age, was investigated. There were 1657 subjects analyzed (857 boys and 800 girls). Frequency of recessive phenotypic feature 'non hairy phalangeal' is 18.21% in males and 23.75% in females. The difference in frequency between sexes is statistically significant (0.01>p>0.001).

- Middle phalangeal hair distribution on an Albanian population sample from Republic of Macedonia
- Data on the frequency and patterns of hair distribution on the phalanges of the hand are available from different parts of the world. The present investigation was undertaken to document the findings in an Albanian population from Republic of Macedonia. The distribution of the middle phalange hair (MPH) has been investigated among unrelated Albanian individuals of sexes born and living in Macedonia. Students, 160 Males and 160 Females aged between 15 - 17 years of the Medical school were randomly chosen and examined 55,18 % of Females and 55,9 % Males possessed hair on the middle phalanges. Therefore, the sex difference was not statistically significant (p0,05). No subject had exclusive presence of hair on the middle phalanx of the index finger. The frequency order of occurrence of midphalangeal hair was 4352 digits of both hands in the two sexes. The distal phalanges never showed hair, which is quite in agreement with the reports from other workers. The 3-4-5 finger combination was the most frequent in both sexes. Our results were compared with earlier studied population and was found similarity with other European populations. .

- Midlife crisis in modern Serbia
- Although mid-life crisis is a normal developmental phase in the life of every person, data from the literature suggest that from the perspective of social-humanistic sciences interested in external manifestations and internal changes, this topic is generally poorly studied in our country and the world. After a long time, this paper, presents a continuation of the first systematic study of the external manifestation, which are, at the same time, the possible ways of overcoming the midlife crisis, that are developed from Marmor's theory, for people who live and work in Serbia. It is studied the representation of creative and successful confrontation with crisis, decompensation, mechanism of denial with escape and mechanism of denial with overcompensation, as ways of expressing and overcoming the midlife crisis. Also, there are examined the differences in these manifestations between those who live and work in different parts of Serbia. It was used the Midlife Crisis Scale (Pavlović, 2015) on a sample of 600 subjects. Data were analyzed by using the SPSS program. The Kruskal Wallis test was used for determining the significance of differences between multiple groups of subjects. The results show the representation of tested ways of expressing and overcoming the midlife crisis and the existence of differences in the values obtained from the subjects who live and work in different parts of Serbia. Generally, subjects from Western Serbia have the most optimal response to a midlife crisis. They have creative and successful way to face and overcome the crisis, while subjects from southern Serbia largely manifest decompensation and both of the denial mechanisms, which indicates that they are the least able to accept changes as normal and constitutive parts of life and to find new forms of satisfaction and fulfillment despite them.

- Migration influence on distribution of AB0 and Rh blood types in the area of Republic of Srpska
- Migrations cause the gene flow in populations and represent the factor that changes its genetic structure. At the end of the previous century there was a significant migration and mixing of distant populations in the area of Republic of Srpska. Such changes inevitably cause the change of gene frequencies. The aim of our research is to analyze the distribution of phenotipic characteristics and to determine allele frequency for AB0 and Rh blood types in the mentioned area, and to compare the results with the previous research. The results were obtained from the Institute of Transfusion Medicine for the regions of Banja Luka, Prijedor, Gradiška, Novi Grad, Doboj and Trebinje. The results, displayed as tables and graphs, were analyzed by standard statistical methods, and they imply certain changes in allele frequencies that are not statistically significant.

- Minor physical anomalies in schizophrenic patients and mentally healthy subjects, 'cut-off' score
- The frequency of minor physical anomalies -MPAs in patients with schizophrenia suggest an early disturbance in the development of the neuroectoderm. Since both, the CNS and the skin are derived from the same ectodermal tissue in utero, MPAs may be external indicators of abnormal brain development. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of MPAs in Macedonian patients with schizophrenia (n =146) and normal controls (n=114) using modified Waldrop Physical Anomaly scale. All patients were diagnosed schizophrenia according to ICD-10 (F. 20.0- F. 20.9). Signifilcantly higher incidence of MPAs was found in the schizophrenic patients compared with the controls. The discriminating effect of MPA-total score for schizophrenia patient versus normal control status was assessed by comparing the groups for each step of MPA hierarchical scoring. Specificity, sensitivity and predictive value of the MFA-Total score were determined. Total MPA scores >3 showed the most balanced set of sensitivity (73,97%),specificity (77,19%) and positive (80,59%) and negative predictive values (69,84%) for schizophrenia and were the 'cut off' scores that optimally discriminate schizophrenia from normal controls. Anthropological assessment of MPAs could be valuable in evaluation of risks for schizophrenia development. .
