- Morphometric differences between the distal femora of men and women
- Introduction: Distal part of the femur is the component of the knee joint. Its fractures are common orthopedic injuries, that occur to younger people as a result of high energy trauma and in the elderly, often after lower energy falls, along with osteoporosis or other medical comorbidities. Distal femur has been the subject of many researches. Goal: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mesurements of the distal part of the femur and their relation to gender.Material and methods: We examined 32 adult human femora from the Osteological collection at the Department of Anatomy of Medical Faculty in Novi Sad. For sex determination of femora, we used the protocol from Alunni-Perret at al. (2008). We measured ten diameters: anteroposterior diameter of the lateral condyle, anteroposterior diameter of the medial condyle, mediolateral width of both condyles, mediolateral diameter of the lateral condyle, mediolateral diameter of the medial condyle, lateral anterior height, medial anterior height, width of the intercondylar fossa, height of the intercondylar fossa, epicondylar width. We also calculated three intercondylar notch idices: notch width, shape and area index. Dimensions were measured by means of the software program'Image J'. Results: Our findings showed that the dimensions of the distal part of the femur were greater in males than in females. Measures of intercondylar notch geometry showed no gender differences. Conclusion: The knowledge of gender differences in the dimensions of the distal part of the femur may be useful for diagnosis and treatment of this region.

- Motor abilities of girls included in program of development gymnastics
- The sample of 286 girls included in program of development gymnastic and 581 girls which are not included in any sport age 7-11 from a territory of largest cities of Vojvodina, were tested by 8 motor tests. The aim of research was to compare motor abilities of girls included in program of development gymnastic to those who are not included in any sport, and to analyze how much the gymnastic sports are efficient in transformation of treated abilities in female population during a highly sensitive stage of biological development. Based on multivariant analysis of variance (MANOVA), statistically significant differences were determined in system of motor abilities. Analyzing the individual motor tests, based on the univariant analysis of variance (ANOVA), statistically significant differences even on level q=.00 were determined in almost all motor tests in terms of better results at girls included in program of development gymnastic. It can be said that gymnastic contents are efficient instrument of positive influence on motor abilities of girls aged 7-11, and that they are recommended for implementation in physical education, in schools and elsewhere. This is especially important in view of great sensibility of biological development in referred age.

- Motor abilities of primary school female students from urban and rural area
- Primary school students' motor abilities were often the subject of study in physical education, however, the fact is that there are very few studies that investigated the influence of residential status of examinees on their motor abilities. A theoretical and empirical study was conducted on the sample of 188 sixth and seventh grade female students (urban area = 98 students; rural area = 90 students). Results of canonical discriminative analysis of motor abilities have shown statistically significant differences among students of different residential status. Girls from rural area had better results in the majority of tests (10 out of 18), but that majority is not absolute. Based on these findings, it is a fair assumption that different living environments are the factors that contribute to dissimilarities of examinees' motor abilities.

- MtDNA variations in genetic structure of populations in Tuzla region (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
- MtDNA variations, determined in terms of mtDNA haplogroups, were analyzed, the sample consisted of the human population of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the teritory of the Tuzla region. The analysis included a total of 245 mtDNA samples (kin unrelated individuals). Determination of mtDNA haplogroups was studied by using haplogroup-specific PCR-RFLP markers of a coding region of mtDNA. We observed that 95.11% of investigated individuals in the Tuzla region belong to the Western-Euroasian mtDNA haplogroups: H, V, T, I, J, K, U, X, W. The impact of migratory activities on the population structure of the Tuzla region was estimated by analysis within- and of intergroup genetic differences (index of genetic specificities, pairwise FST analysis and exact-p test) of indigenous and migrant categories (recent, internal, and historical). The analysis showed that a significant demographic influence on the genetic structure of indigenous people was exerted by the category of recent migrants only.

- Neonatal status of twins
- Multiple pregnancy is a pregnancy where more than one fetus develops simultaneously in the womb, as a result of the ovulation and fertilization of more than one egg. It is relatively rare in humans and represents the rest of the phylogenetic stages. The most common are twins and they indicate the development of two fetuses in the womb. The frequency of twin pregnancies is about 1%. Multiple pregnancies belong to a group of high-risk pregnancies because of the many complications that occur during the pregnancy: higher number of premature deliveries, bleeding, early neonatal complications and higher perinatal morbidity and mortality. Such pregnancies and infants require greater supervision and monitoring. The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of baby twins born at the maternity ward of the General Hospital in Prokuplje and their morbidity and mortality. Data on the total number of deliveries, number of twins, parity and maternal age, gestational age, body weight of twins, method of delivery, Apgar score and perinatal mortality were collected and statistically analyzed by means of retrospective analysis of operative birth and neonatal protocol for 6 years (2005 of 2010). Out of 4527 mothers who gave birth 43 were pairs of twins, or 0.95% of women gave birth to twins. These babies are more likely born by Caesarean section, but delivered with slightly lower birth weight.

- Neurotic as an indicator of sports success at children karatists
- If we want those results to explain properly then we have to take into account that our respondents mostly belong to the period of late childhood and puberty. That's the period of a hasty physical development, a period when hastily increased demands of parents and teachers make the children nervous and irritated. That's the period when young people are not ready for work, when they comfort to the parents and teachers authority, when they escape in an isolation and imagination. Therefore we have the manifestation of irresponsibility which the coach noticed regularly. The coaches estimations confirm that we talk about sportsmen in a development period which characterizes an emotional instability - there are hasty changes of mood, emotional reactions are controlled with difficulty, there is a feeling of anxiety and with the absence of self-confidence. It is expected from the coach to know something more about this psychology of children and youth if he wants to achieve greater success at practicing sports skills as well as a total individual development of young sportsmen. For example, it is expected from the coach to notice when a child is not mature emotionally enough to take part in a specific task of a group, when it is not possible to conform in the group and appreciate the demands of the group. Even when there is a psychological mature (mental, emotional and voluntary) for learning specific karate skills, the coach needs to know that in a late childhood and puberty young people have a stressed need for game, so that the training is organized as some way of a creative game. .

- Niko Županič
- Professor Niko Županić (1876-1961) finished his anthropology, ethnology, history and pre historic anthropology studies in Vienna, where he got his PhD in 1903. He improved anthropology in Anthropological Institute in Munich (Professor J. Ranke), Anthropological Institute by University of Zurich and Anthropology Institute in Basel (Professor J. Coleman). By the suggestion of Jovan Cvijić, with whom he met during his studies in Vienna, he came to Belgrade in 1908, where he set foundations to bio physical, historical and ethnic anthropology. He had found anthropology sections in National and Ethnography Museum in Belgrade, during his appointment in those two museums from 1908. to 1922., and started anthropology studies of Serbian and other Slavic and non Slavic people who lived in Balkans and Caucasus. Range of Zupanics anthropology studies ranged in Balkans, old Slavic and Carpathian territory and ethnic communities that lived there. Zupanics de bates about Pelages as the oldest ethnic community in south-east of Balkans and Middle East and also his anthropological studies of Illyrians, Trojans, Arians, Serbs, Croats, Bulgarian, Turks and some other ethnic communities are high valued including his synthesis 'Ethno genesis of Yugoslav people' (1920). .

- Noise as a disruption factor in class of sports games
- Noise is every unwanted sound, noise appearance (bobbery, murmur, roisterer, banging, speech, etc..) that interferes with work or rest. Physical education is characterized by diversity of content, constant change of intensity, but teaching process is also followed by a large number of students, health and sanitation terms, micro-climate and noise, which are allocated as disturbing factors. This research deals with the origin and the noise level during the implementation of a series of physical education classes in elementary schools in the city of Nis. We assessed the classes of students aged 11 years, who had had sports games for the teaching unit. The obtained results of the noise measurements processed by the up-to-date measuring instruments(sound level meter) and methods indicate that noise occurs in certain degree but does not enter the area of critical values. Noise was measured in the phases of the classes and was registered in the range of 69 to 82 dB with the characteristics of the noise continuous type. In order to lower the level of noise in physical education teaching process certain measures and procedures should be taken: improved discipline of the pupils, organisation and the choice of the methodological forms of work, choice of the requisites in the teaching process, and the use of verbal method in the acoustic halls.

- Nutritional condition of adolescents in the town of Sombor
- Nutritional condition is an indicator of physical and health condition of an individual and the entire population. The easiest way to assess it is to use the anthropological traits - height and weight, sometimes also triceps skinfold thickness. The aim of the study was to determine the average height, weight, triceps skinfold thickness and nutritional condition of adolescents from the town of Sombor. Complying with IBP instructions, a transversal anthropological investigation was conducted in the Sombor high school 'Veljko Petrović' in 2002. The investigation included 128 males and 157 females aged 16 to 18. The results showed that in males the average height and weight were 180.9 cm and 75.5 kg, respectively. The average triceps skinfold thickness equaled 10.9 mm and they were characterized by the optimal nutritional condition. In females, the averages were the following: the height was 167.7 cm, the weight was 61.1 kg, the triceps skinfold thickness equaled 16.6 mm, while BMI was 21.8 kg/m2. Regarding the subjects' age, the average height and weight showed no significant differences. Gender differences were observed in all ages, except for BMI values for the ages 16 and 17. Males showed greater height and weight, while females had greater triceps skinfold thickness. According to NHANES I values, the highest percentage of the subjects were with optimal nutritional condition, and to smaller extent, within moderate underweight and overweight category. The smallest percentage belonged to the group of the underweight and overweight. Regarding the triceps skinfold thickness, the greatest number of adolescents fell into the category of optimal nutritional condition, while smaller number of them were underweight or overweight. .

- Nutritional status in young basketball players
- The aim of this research was to determine the differences between the nutritional status of young basketball players of different ages. The sample included 379 boys, aged 9-14 years old, from different basketball clubs located in ten municipalities in Serbia. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index (BMI) as a ratio of height and weight of respondents. The univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied for the analysis the differences between respondents in terms of nutritional status. These results clearly indicate that there is a statistically significant difference (p = 0.05) between the young basketball players in terms of their nutritional status. Through the results of this study may find the trend of increase in BMI with age.

- Nutritional status of elderly in republic of Macedonia
- Many diseases are frequently present in elderly and protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is one of them. In Republic of Macedonia there is a little evidence about the nutritional problems in elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate nutritional status of elderly in Republic of Macedonia. 540 elderly from three geriatric institutions and 613 free-living elderly were evaluated. Nutritional status was assessed with clinical evaluation (muscle strength, ADL and MNA-mini nutritional assessment protocol); biochemical and anthropometric parameters (stature; weight; BMI; skin-folds biceps, triceps, sub-scapular and abdomen; elbow diameter; upper muscle and fat area). Results shown that PEM was present in 40.8 % of elderly and 34.2 % were with risk of PEM. Significant risk factors of PEM were: dental problems, changes of appetite, present of diseases, difficulties in activity, older age and male sex (F=4.3; p<0.01). Male and female elderly with PEM show significantly lower values of upper muscle and fat area (male: 22.2 ± 5.7 and 7.4 ± 1.9 cm2; female: 23.5 ± 5.9 and 6.1 ± 1.4 cm2) according to elderly with risk of PEM (male: 33.4 ± 6.8 and 13.6 ± 5.2 cm2; female: 33.8 ± 6.4 and 12.0 ± 3.2 cm2, respectively). Conclusion: Our results show that nutritional status is a serious health problem of elderly in R Macedonia and there is a need of nutritional intervention in this population. .

- Nutritional status of preschool children in Novi Sad
- The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional status of preschool children (preparatory group - before starting school), aged 6 to 7 years. The survey was conducted in four kindergartens preschool 'Happy Childhood' in Novi Sad, in a sample of 209 children (116 boys and 92 girls). Anthropometric measurements were carried out in October 2012. Based on the results calculated BMI (body mass index (weight (kg) / body height2 (m2)) and determined the degree of nutritional status of each child. Parameter values of BMI were adjusted by age and gender. Survey results show that 116 boys, 72.41% has an normal weight, under nutrition were 5.17%, while moderate nutritional abnormalities observed at 13.79%, obesity was found in 8.62% boys. The girls have similar results, namely obesity was 9.78%, prone to obesity 7.61%, the optimal weight of 75% and under nutrition 7.61% girls.
