Defining and comparison of motor structure between schoolboys and schoolgirls aged 12
Defining and comparison of motor structure between schoolboys and schoolgirls aged 12
Research is realized on sample of 500 scholars aged 12, consisted of two samples, 250 boys and 250 girls. Basic aim of research is defining and comparison of motor structure between boys and girls. 21 tests for estimation some motor abilities are used. Structure of each sub-sample was defined by promax factor solution. At boys are isolated eight, at girls seven latent motor dimensions, so different motor structure is presented. But, according Tucker's coefficient significant similarity was established only between first isolated factors of both sub-samples (T= .95), that is saturated of tests for rhythmic structure estimation.
Demographic movements in rural settlements municipality of Knjaževac
Demographic movements in rural settlements municipality of Knjaževac
The process of demographic changes in the municipality of Knjazevac began in the second half of the twentieth century. Socio-economic development of the territory has affected the decrease in population. While Knjazevac as the center of this municipality strengthened, peripheral urban parts stagnated. The article contains a description of the current main problem to resolve and analysis of the results and findings about the impacts of demographic change of the rural settlements in the municipality of Knjazevac. Knjazevac and the whole southeastern part of Serbia are exposed to large global changes in the structure of the population over the last fifty years.
Demographic potential of the Nišava district
Demographic potential of the Nišava district
This paper analyzes the demographic potential of the Nišava District at the administrative level of municipality. It is shown through the analysis of the selected indicators: numerical trends and age structure of the population. The main demographic processes that characterize the observed district are the overall depopulation (the decrease of the total population) and the aging of the population. Due to this, the change in the population numbers according to previous censuses has been investigated in order to determine its intensity in different periods. Some population characteristics such as the age of the population, the aging index, the age coefficient, the young population contingent (0-19) and the old population continent (60 and over) as well as the fertile and labor contingent have been used to represent the age structure. The changes in the educational structure are considered in interaction with the processes of depopulation and demographic aging. This has been an attempt to determine the degree of correlation between demographic processes and the education level of the population. The results of the analysis of the demographic potential point to spatial disparity of the Nišava District. Unfavorable demographic processes, extreme depopulation and aging of the population of this district have had a large influence on the weakening of the demographic basis and the decrease in the overall potential of the observed district. The mutual dependence of the process of depopulation and pronounced changes in the age structure towards ever increasing aging of the population has created a vicious cycle which leads to unfavorable and unstoppable demographic changes in this area.
Demographic resources and organization basic education in the Republic of Srpska
Demographic resources and organization basic education in the Republic of Srpska
Biodynamic and structural characteristics are analyzed in this work, so as spatial distribution of population of Republic of Srpska because of identification and valorization of demographic resources and their implement on educational system organisation (especially compulsory primary education). For demographic resources identification and valorization an index of demographic resources has been applied, and typology of spatial units at the level of municipalities (local communities) nodal-functional regions of Republic of Srpska and admissional elementary school areas. Spatial diferency of structural and dynamical marks of Republic of Srpska population has been defined in the modern period. According to assesment on population number and data of vital structure for 2012, over 80% of municipalities have a weak demographic resources, without human potential for demographic and economic development. Projection of total number population movement and assesment in last 5 years have shown that depopulation will be continued, so the demographic extinction will baseline of population development. By perennial negative demographic movements, the total human potential in Srpska, number of students in elementary school classes and number of classes which implicates changes in number and status of elementary school units.
Densitometric to anthropometric indexes of visceral obesity relations
Densitometric to anthropometric indexes of visceral obesity relations
Central obesity index (COI) is useful method for assessing body fat distribution. It was used to divide 110 women according to their body fat distribution in 3 groups: 1st group with normal body fat distribution and COI<0.8; 2nd group with moderate visceral obesity and 0.81.0. Densitometric indexes (DI) of visceral obesity were de termined: COI = an droid/gynoid fat mass % (A%/G%), arm+leg/trunk fat mass (AL/T), legs/trunk (L/TR), legs/to tal (L/T) and trunk/total fat mass (TR/T), and anthropometric indexes (AI) of visceral obesity: waist/hip ra tio (WHR), waist/thigh ratio (WTR), sagittal diameter (SAD), SAD/waist ratio (SAD/W), SAD/thigh ratio (SAD/T), SAD/hip ratio (SAD/H) and SAD/height ratio (SAD/HT). BMI, body weight (BW), total fat mass, G and SAD/W were not different between the 2nd and the 3rd group. W, WHR, WTR, SAD, SAD/T, SAD/H, SAD/HT values were significantly different among the groups (p<0.0001). AL/T values in the 1st group 1.17±0.17, in the 2nd group 0.93±0.14 and 3rd group 0.69±0.08, and the correspondent values of other DIL/TR 0.89±0.14, 0.73±0.11 and 0.53±0.08; L/T 0.43±0.04, 0.37±0.04 and 0.29±0.03; and TR/T 0.45±0.04, 0.51±0.04 and 0.58±0.03 were highly significantly different among the groups (p<0.0001). COI correlated highly significantly with DI and AI, and A (p<0.0001), but not with G, and SAD/W. Other DI and AI correlated highly significantly with A, but not with G. Extreme visceral obese women were characterized with significantly highest values of DI and AI indexes, except BMI, BW, SD/W, total and G fat mass. They were confirmed as very useful indicators of visceral obesity.
Dental anthropology of Bulgarian population from some regions of Western Bulgaria
Dental anthropology of Bulgarian population from some regions of Western Bulgaria
It was investigated in anthropological aspect, the contemporary Bulgarian population from the regions of Kustendil, Sapareva banja, Alino and Batanovtsy. It were explored four groups by 100 persons of both sexes, 12-16 aged persons. A big number of basic odontological traits of race-diagnostic and taxonomic meaning were examined. The obtained data were processed and analyzed by Zubov's method (1968). As a whole, according to the percentage frequency of the odontological traits, the investigate a population can be related to the Western odontological stem. Some of the odontological traits, however, like the showel-shaped upper medial incisors show an increased frequency, that is an indication of a presence of 'eastern' admixture in the ethnogenesis of this population.
Dental system reduction at children from Niš
Dental system reduction at children from Niš
During hominid evolution, the dental system has constantly been liable to a reduction process, reflecting in numerous symptoms. The aim of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of some reduction symptoms: insufficient space, reduction of I2, hypodontia, reduction of upper and lower M1 and M2. We have analyzed 880 study models and orthopan X-ray films of orthodontic patients from Niš. The lack of space for maxillary incisors was found in quite a high percentage (about 43%). The reduction of I2 was present in only 5.5% of the patients, mainly in the I reduction phase (3.72%). The hypodontia of teeth is characteristic for 4.87% of our investigated patients. Of these patients, 55% did not have P2, about 23% lacked I2 in the maxilla and 14% lacked I1 in the mandibula. The absence of other teeth occurred sporadically. The reduction of upper M1 is less expressed as compared to M2. The total hypoconus reduction in M1 appeared in 1.98% and in M2 in 24% of the cases. In the molar group, lower M1 is the least reduced and it has 5 cusps in most of the patients (73.48%). In 95.52%, M2 has 4 cusps and numerous shape variations in both jaws.
Depth of the palate in patients with upper jaw narrowness
Depth of the palate in patients with upper jaw narrowness
Different orthodontic anomalies are followed by different depths of the palate. The aim of this research was to determine the palate depth in patients who have narrow upper jaws and in patients with normal upper jaw development. The study models of 386 patients were divided into two groups (120 with narrow upper jaws and 266 patients normal upper jaw development). The depth of the palate was measured on the level of first and second premolars, first permanet molars as well as the posteror width of the upper jaw by a three-dimensional dental compass according to Korkhaus and the palate depth index (PDI) was calculated according to the PD/PW x 100 formula. The results show that the PDI in patients of both sexes is statistically much higher than in patients with normal upper jaw development (p< 0,01) The average PDI value in male patients with narrow upper jaw is 41,76 and in female patients it is 38,60. The average PDI value in male patients with normal upper jaw development is 35,89 and in female patients it is 38,60. According to the average PDI values, both sexes with normal upper jaw development have a medium-developed palate, male patients with a narrow upper jaw have a high palate, while the PDI values in female patients are on the border between medium and high palate. The values of palate depth increase distally from the first premolar level towards first molars in both groups of examinees.
Dermatoglyphic characterization of Bulgaria population from some regions of middle Western Thrace
Dermatoglyphic characterization of Bulgaria population from some regions of middle Western Thrace
760 finger and palm patterns of 90 men and 90 women from the regions of Panagurishte and of 100 men and 100 women from Strelcha were studied. The investigation was done by Cummins and Midlo's method (1961). It was established that the studied population from both regions is too homogenous by the investigated dermatoglyphic traits. Besides, it was found out a bimanual asimetry, statisticaly significant, in the population from the region of Panagurishte in both sexes only according to the trait - dermatoglyphic patterns of III interdigital pad. It was fixed, as well, a sexual dimorphism in the population from the region of Strelcha, statisticaly significant on right hands, according to two traits - dermatoglyphic patterns of II interdigital pad and the trait additional interdigital triradii.
Dermatoglyphic characterization of contemporary Bulgarian population from the regions of Petritch and Melnik
Dermatoglyphic characterization of contemporary Bulgarian population from the regions of Petritch and Melnik
In this investigation were studied 200 men and 200 women commonly 400 individual of both sexes, according to 16 dermatoglyphic traits, from the regions of Melnik and Petritch. The processing and the analysis of the dermatoglyphic material was done according to the method of Cummins and Midlo (1961). In order to be established significant differences among the studied groups, according to the dermatoglyphic traits, was used the method of t-criterium. It was done race-diagnostic analysis according to the percentage frequency of the studied dermatoglyphic traits and was established that the explored Bulgari an population from these regions belongs as a whole to the europeoid race. Besides, it was established a bimanual with respect to the dermatoglyphic paterns on III interdigital pad, which are more frequently on the right hand, than on the left hand. It was not established a sexual dimorphism (statistically significant) in the stud­ied population from Melnik and Petritch by the dermatoglyphic traits. On the basis of the mathematic-statistical processing, by means of t-criterium, it was established, that by the majority of the dermatoglyphic traits, the differences between the studied population from the regions of Melnik and Petritch are statistically insignificant, witch is an indication for their closenes by this traits. .
Development trend of anthropometric caracteristics of 4-11 year old children
Development trend of anthropometric caracteristics of 4-11 year old children
The sample of subjects i.e. 1.242 boys and 1.082 girls in nurseries and schools in Novi Sad, Sombor, Sremska Mitrovica, Bačka Palanka and Zrenjanin, were tested by 8 anthropometric measures in order to analyze the development trend of anthropometric characteristics of children 4-11 years old. Following the application of univariant analysis of variance, statistically significant differences were determined between different age groups defined at six-month intervals in all anthropometric measures performed on boys and girls. The differences of means in each variable in relation to the nearest age groups of subjects, were analyzed individually between sexes. Generally, the results indicate linear trend of increment of: body height, body mass and variables for evaluation of body volume with age of examinee. In case of athropometric variables for evaluation of subcutaneous fat tissue, linear trend of increment with age of examinee is also noticeable, but in totally discontinuous form, particularly in school-aged children. .
Developmental characteristics of seven year old boys from different time period
Developmental characteristics of seven year old boys from different time period
Developmental characteristics of a man from birth to mature age are under the influence of different interior and exterior factors. Continious observation of growth and development can inform about all parameters at different age. The purpose of research was to establish presence of differences in some anthropometric measures between sample groups-7-year olds born in 1980(measured in 1987) and born in 2001(measured in 2008).Research pattern has been made of two subpatterns (first 176,second 91).Research included six anthropometric measures(body mass, body height, middle pectoral perimeter, thickness of skin on the upper arm, back and stomach). For establishing the differences between the groups canonic discriminative analysis had been applied. The results were processed by the statistical package Statistica 6.0. Results of research showed that there are statistically important differences in the level of significance(p<.01: p-level=.000). Factor structure showed that the biggest differences were noticed at variables connected to subcutaneous fat tissue, followed by volume, and the least at body mass and body height. Numerically bigger values are marked at boys measured 2008. Those results probably depend on external factor influence(nutrition, hypocynesy). .
