- Self-efficacy and health behaviour
- The study of personality characteristics and behaviours related to human health has become a key area of research within contemporary health psychology. Personality variable that has attracted a growing interest of health psychologists is the concept of self-efficacy developed by Albert Bandura within his highly influential social-cognitive or social learning theory of human behaviour. Defined generally as the individual's belief that one will be able to carry out one's plans and intentions successfully or to perform certain behaviours necessary to attain desired goals or anticipated outcomes, self-efficacy is one of the key factors in the exercise of personal control, including a control over the state of one's own health. Starting from this theoretical framework, the main purpose of this article is to provide at first a concise overview of the theory of self-efficacy, and then to consider its relationship with the various forms or patterns of behaviours related to health, as well as to suggest some possible implications of this theory for medical anthropology - especially for its applied areas that are focused on the health education, health promotion, and health protection.

- Sensitive development phases of the anthropometric characteristics of the boys 7 to 15 years old
- In this work, which represents a small part of a wider research, the sensitive development phases of some anthropometric characteristics will be presented of the 7 to 15 years old pupils from the region of Prijedor. The target of the work is to reveal the sensitive phases of the anthropometrics characteristics with the 7 to 15 years old pupils in the body height, body mass, arm length, leg length and foot length. The results point to the fact that indications of the sensitive phases exist in the foot length and arm length in the age of 10-11, 13-14 and 14-15, but the indications of the sensitive phases in the body height are in the age of 7-8, 13-14 and 14-15. Basically, the rhythmic development without special drops in some ages is however equalised in the development of the anthropomotoric characteristics, though the period of more intensive development is noticed during the puberty. .

- Sexual dimorphism in finger papillary dermatoglyphic patterns for individuals from South Bulgaria
- The aim of the study is to make a whole morphologic characteristic and to assess the quantitative and qualitative patterns of finger images and sexual dimorphism among individuals from South Bulgaria. We studied a set of dermatoglyphics of 229 subjects from South Bulgaria (69 males, 160 females), clinically healthy, without ties of kinship to one another, aged 18 to 30 years. Rolled fingerprints were obtained by the ink method. Papillary patterns were classified into four main types. The data were analyzed with statistical software. We found pronounced gender differences in the quantitative and qualitative fingerprint patterns. Males have higher values of ridge number and also of Furuhata and Cummins's indices, while in females the higher values are in Poll and Dankmeijer's indices. The existence of gender-dependent expression of fluctuating asymmetry shows a tendency for a more pronounced asymmetry in males, gender related peculiarities in the course of the embryonic period.

- Sexual dimorphism of hyoid bone
- Hyoid bone, is located in anteriorsuperior site of the neck. Represents the odd bone which is the only bone in the human body that is not articulated or otherwise normally, associated with any other bone. Bearing in mind its embryonic origin, the bone is part of the skeleton viscerocranium. It has a horseshoe shape and consists of a body, two large and two small horns. In our study, we investigated sexual dimorphism hyoid bone. Testing we did at 42 hyoid human cadaver bones with known sex and age. We made 5 oseometric mesaurements. Metric analysis of the hyoid bone is a useful technique in the determination of sexual dimorphism hyoid bone that can give good results, but is not entirely satisfactory, and can serve as a complementary method.

- Sexual maturation in adolescents from the region of Eastern Rodopi in connection with their social environment
- The purpose of this paper is to characterize the influence of socio-economic environment on the processes of sexual maturation and the age of adolescent's menarche from the Eastern Rhodopi. Subjects of study are 1378 children and adolescents from local schools in Ivaylovgrad, Svilengrad and Lyubimets. These are 730 girls and 648 boys aged 8 to 17 years. In connection with studying the influence of environmental factors on the sexual maturation processes, interviews with parents were conducted . The survey contains 22 questions with parents' data, which were used to clarify the social, economic and professional status, living conditions of family life, etc. The results show that although genetically determinated, the processes of sexual maturation are significantly influenced by exogenous factors, and in a peculiar way they reflect the specific social and economic situation in a given geographical area at a randomly selected time period.

- Similarities and differences between second primary and first permanent molar
- The study was done on 304 plaster models of orthodontic patients from Clinic of stomatology in Nis. The number of cusps and mesio-distal diameter of m2 and M1 was analyzed, in maxilla and mandible according to sex. The same number of cusps at both sexes was found in maxilla in 96,40% and 92,76%,in mandible the difference of cusp number was greater(30,92% and 26,97%). At major number of patients mesio-distal diameter difference was up to 2mm:in maxilla about 88% in mandible about 68%.The same diameters of m2 and M1 in maxilla was measured in 8% of patients, in mandible more patients had same diameter, about 30%. In mandible m2 is more similar to M1 in mesio-distal diameter. In maxilla m2 is more similar to M1 in the number of cusps. .

- Skeletal adaptations to bipedalism
- Bipedalism is the main characteristic of humans. During evolutin bipedalism emerged probably as an adaptation to a changing environment. Major changes in skeletal system included femur, pelvis, skull and spine. The significance of bipedal locomotion: Bipedalism freed the forelimbs for carrying objects, creation and usage of tools. In the upright position animals have a broader view of the environment and the early detection of predators is crucial for survival. Bipedal locomotion makes larger distances easier to pass, which is very important in the migration of hominids.

- Socio-experiential of autocratic orientation during a social crisis
- The paper is a part of more comprehensive empirical research of socio-experienital sources of autocratic orientation in youth during social crisis, which also includes analysis of some other social orientations from the field of social life of young people (Yugoslav, Bosnian, democratic, privacy and education system). The following socio-experiential sources have been anal used: gender, social background, general school achievement, education level of father and mother, material conditions, national and confessional background, etc). The research was performed on the sample of 252 students of 3rd and 4th-year secondary school in Mostar, tested immediately before the beginning end of the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and on 252 students of 3rd and 4th-year secondary school in Trebinje immediately after the end of the civil war in Bosnia and Hezehovina. The following two test instruments were applied - questionnaire assessing attitudes of subjects, and standadised scale of autocratic orientation of Likert's type. Results of this research have shown that autocratic orientation during a social crisis is very expressed in young population. Their sources can be traced, first of all, in social background, national background and time perspective. Those who belong to lower social status are more autocratic oriented. The Serbs are more autocratic oriented than the Moslems and the Croats. Thus, as expected, there is a higher number of autocratic oriented people after the war than before it.

- Soft tissue and dental status in female residents in Centre for mentally handicapped women
- In mentally handicapped individuals, attention paid on their oral health is usually insufficient. This population is edentulous or partially edentulous, with high rate of dental caries and periodontal disease, and without adequate prosthetic constructions. Oral examination was done in 70 female residents of 'Centre for mentally handicapped women' in Višegrad (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Before the clinical examination, mini mental test (Mini Mental State Examination) was used for the quick orientation about degree of mental disorder. Finally, the plan of dental rehabilitation was made according to patient's health condition and mental diagnosis. All examined patients had severely damaged oral functions, including periodontal disease, decayed roots and a great number of missing teeth. Not a single patient had prosthetic constructions. Patients with lower degree of mental disorder showed satisfactory cooperation and it was estimated that dental treatment could be under- taken in these individuals. Mentally handicapped patients show high need for dental treatment. Prosthetic rehabilitation is possible in some of mentally handicapped patients.

- Structure of morphological characteristics in adolescent boys
- Morphological space of a human being is multidimensional (Momirovic, Medved, Horvat and Pavisic-Medved, 1969; Viskic-Stalec, 1974; Hosek, Stojanovic, Momirovic, Gredelj and Vukosavljevic, 1980). The research has proven the existence of the following structures: skeleton longitudinal dimension, transversal skeleton dimension, body voluminosity and underskin fatty tissue. Using the sample of 108 male students, aged 15-16, attending Secondary Police School in Sremska Kamenica, 17 anthropological measures have been used for the evaluation of students' morphological characteristics. The aim of this research was to determine the structure of morphological characteristics in secondary school students aged 15-16 and to compare it to the results gained by the same research done by other authors. Factor analysis in term of variable with promax rotation and Kaiser's normalization has prompted the following morphological characteristics: body voluminosity, under skin fatty tissue and skeleton longitudinal dimension. Research results confirm the existence of the same morphological factors as found in the research conducted on adolescents earlier (Momirović, Medved, Horvat and Pavicic-Medved, 1969; Kurelic, Momirovic, Stojanovic, Sturm, Radojevic i Viskic-Stalec, 1975; Momirovic, Mrakovic, Hosek i Metikos, 1987, according to Madic, 2000). .

- Subkultura tetovaže sa aspekta identifikacije
- A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattooing has been practiced for centuries worldwide. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification. Tattooing has been a Eurasian practice at least since around Neolithic times. Ötzi the Iceman, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BC (found in the Ötz valley in the Alps), had 57 carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. These tattoos were thought to be a form of healing because of their placement which resembles acupuncture. Other mummies bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the second millennium BC have been discovered (the Mummy of Amunet from Ancient Egypt). Today, people choose to be tattooed for cosmetic, sentimental/memorial, religious, and magical reasons, and to symbolize their belonging to or identification with particular groups (criminal gangs), but also a particular ethnic group or law-abiding subculture. Extensive decorative tattooing is common among members of traditional freak shows. While tattoos are considered permanent, it is sometimes possible to remove them with laser treatments (fully or partially). Pre-laser tattoo removal methods include dermabrasion, salabrasion (scrubbing the skin with salt), cryosurgery, and excision with skin grafts for larger tattoos. Tattoos have also been used for identification in other ways. Tattoos are sometimes used by forensic pathologists to help them identify burned, putrefied, or mutilated bodies.

- Successfulness in performing motor tests of coordination related to the level of subcutaneous fatty tissue
- Introduction: In this study was analyzed the successfulness of boys in performing of motor tests for assessing coordination, in relation to the subcutaneous fatty tissue in the reference points of upper arm, back and abdomen. Material and methods: On the sample of respondents (N=588 boys) aged 7 to 11 years, were studied whether there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups of boys. The first of two groups - which results in tests of coordination were in the area of the first 25 percentile, and the second one - which results were from 75th to 100th percentile. Evaluation of coordination included two motor tests: 'obstacle course backwards' and 'slalom with three balls', and in estimation of level of subcutaneous fatty tissue in reference points of upper arm, back and abdomen used calliper of type John Bull. Results: Based on these results has to be mentioned that two groups of respondents were differ in all the variables that evaluated subcutaneous fatty tissue, in favor of the respondents from the first group. Conclusion: Our results suggest that more effective activities aiming to decrease prevalence of overweight among children. The level of subcutaneous fatty tissue assessment has been shown as a very important tool in evaluation coordination and estimation of changes in successfulness in performing motor tests of co-ordination during of growth and development children.
