: Growth and development acceleration of male children and youth from Tuzla area in period between 1980 to 2003, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Secular growth and development changes in children vary in the last decades among different population. Some show extensive trend towards greater body height and weight. In others height shows trend of increase, and in some there are no changes at all. Therefore, there is a relative independency of secular changes in development and growth. The objective of this work is to show whether any changes are noticed in secular growth of adolescents in Tuzla's area. Six anthropometri cal parameters have been examined: height body mass, average chest size, sitting height, leg length, and arm length. The data has been compared with the corresponding research data from 1980 and 1996. conducted on a sample of similar population. The conducted analysis of the gathered data primarily rests on the scientific elaboration of registered state from the year 2003 in the examined part of the population, after an unnatural and extremely unfavourable period in process of growth and development of one bigger part of the group. Namely, all the examinees were born in the period between 1985 and 1992 so one part of their intensive growth was during (1992-1995) and after the war. Despite the negative influence of the living conditions (war) on the ontogenesis of the examinees, it has been determined that the growth and development of male children in this area proceeds harmoniously, and that it is in limits of average European standards. The determined secular trend for body height is 2.31 cm/dec, body mass 3.42 kg/dec, average chest size is 1.72 cm/dec.

: Growth and development of female pupils of lower forms of the primary school; 117 female pupils of 10 years of age (+,- six months) were subjected to the analysis of morphological characteristics. The sample was made up of the female subjects of the fourth forms of two primary schools in Novi Sad "Jovan Popovic" and "Zarko Zrenjanin". The research was conducted in the 2002/2003 school year. Initial measurement was taken at the beginning of the school year in the month of September 2002, whereas the final one was carried out in June 2003. Anthropometric parameters were carefully selected in order to offer the essential information about the morphological characteristics of the tested age. The collected data were duly organized and processed statistically later on. The differences were determined by means of univariant analysis of variance ANOVA, multivariant analysis of variance MANOVA and Discriminative analysis.

: HLA class I and II antigene frequencies in Yugoslav population; We present a rewiew on variability in Yugoslav population based on the analysis of distribution of HLA-A, B and DR antigens. Blood samples were collected from 1154 (for HLA-A, B) and 239 (for DR) unrelated persons involved in paternity cases. The obtained data were used for standard population genetic analysis for estimation of antigen frequencies and comparison with the corresponding prviously published data. We found a close similarity between the HLA antigen frequencies in Yugoslav and European populations. The only significant differences noted were for HLA-A10 HLA-B5, B7, B15, B16, B18, 27, B35, HLA-DR5, DR6 and DR7. With this presentation we want to contribute to the knowledge about variability of HLA markers useful in anthropology.

: HLA distribution in the Usbek population and prospects used on prognozine to select in sports; HLA distribution (A and V loci) was studied in the 203 man and 120 sportsman within the Usbek population. The modern Usbek population was form results inhabiting caucasoid and mongoloid population. But assessment of the HLA antigens in the Usbek population was found to differ from the Europeoid and monogoloid populations. The antigens B13 have only been used as genetic markers of the Usbek population. A higher occurrence of A2', A3, B15 were typical for the sportsmen, whom stature composed 160-170 cm. A lower occurrence All, B35 was examined in high specialization sportsmen.

: Haemovigilance in transfusion medicine practice; Case report. Haemovigilance means protection of blood donors and preparation of the safe and irreplaceable drug-whole blood or blood components for recipients. Results: Compulsory tests in the preparation of blood, as well as the problems and errors occurring in practice are presented. Pretransfusion tests in the choice of compatible blood for the recipient are presented as well as the presentation of various clinical conditions which may aggravate the use of blood (multiple transfusions, positive DAT and presence of antibodies as a result of alloimmunization, antigen suppression in malignant haemopathies, reactivity of rectal ampulla, haemolytic anemiasé and states of immunodeficiency). Conclusion: Transfusion reactions must be reported to the reference institution, but it is not always the case. In most cases they are expressed as posttransfusion nonhaemolytic reactions.

: Hereditary estimates of the somatotype components based of family analysis; As it is known there exists an obvious phenotype variation in human physique. Some of the variations are genetically determined. Despite the broad discussion on the question, the data are still very scanty to be built an entirely satisfying theory about the genetic determination of the phenotype. With the present work it is aimed to be thrown light on the genetic side in the phenotype variations.

: Histomorphometric measurements of alveolar bone of patients with diagnosed osteoporosis; Osteoporosis is a pathological condition of skeleton, of multicausal etiology, characterized by dilution and microarchitectural disorder of bone tissue where skeleton bones and jaws become brittle and breakable because of distinct loss of bone mass. The aim of the research was to evaluate, using quantitative histomorphometric analysis, the influence of therapy on histological. The alveolar bones of patients in experimental and control groups were analyzed before and six months after the adequate internal and prosthodontics therapy. From histomorphometric measurements of alveolar bone before the therapy it was established that there was significant reduce of analyzed histomorphometric parameters (p<0,001) compared with the control group. The cited therapy leads to recovery and improvement of bone tissue quality and more intensive osteogenesis. Therefore, six months after the therapy statistically significant increase of analyzed parameters takes place (areal fraction, area, perimeter, integral alveolar bone density) in comparison with the control group. Histomorphometric measurements are very important for modem diagnosis, as well as for evolution of bone osteoporosis therapy effects because bone tissue makes the base of prosthesis support for all forms of dental prosthesis.

: Hysteria and psychopathy; On a sample of 640 male subjects 19 to 27 years old, who were examined with 7 tests for estimating the modalities of hysteria and 5 tests for estimating the modalities of psychopathy, it was found that hysteria and psychopathy are very consistent constructs, the modalities of which may be estimated, for hysteria, with measuring instruments of extremely high reliability and validity, and for psychopaty, with measuring instruments of tolerable reliability but quite decent validity. Canonic correlation analysis showed that the relationship between hysteria and psychopaty are significant and considerably large, and that they, in all likelihood, depend on only one single latent generator. The hysteric component of this generator was predominantly defined by disorders in the regulation of the process of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system, and these disorders were linked to hypochondriac (as in hypochondriasis) structure of reactions and also linked to disorders in the functioning of all organic systems, particularly to the functioning of the sensory and motoric aparatures. The psychopatic component of this generator was predominantly defined by basic aggressiveness, uncontrolled secondary aggressiveness and dissociative disorders caused by regression to earlier phases of ontogenic and phylogenic development. Relations between hysteria and psychopatiy were not, however, entirely symmetrical, because the mutual regression analysis showed the canonical index 0.51 for estimating psychopathy on the basis of hysteria, while the canonical index for estimating hysteria on the basis of psychopathy was 0.59, which suggests that psychopathic disorders are deeper than hysteric ones.

: In memory of Božo Škerlj, founder of the Anthropological Society of Yugoslavia; Professor Dr Božo Škerlj was the founder of modern Yugoslav anthropology the bearer of anthropological learning both at home and in the world. His scientific results, solutions to problems relating to the science of man contribution to anthropological learning and thought, and his scientific ideas, still motivate further, deeper study of human types and their existence in time and space. In 1959, as professor at the University of Ljubljana, Bozo Škerlj created conditions for the formation of the Anthropological Society of Yugoslavia. As was his aim, the Society has in time brought together co-workers concerned with questions arising from individual areas of anthropology and the anthropology of related sciences. Today, the route which he traced as a university lecturer, researcher and scientist remains as a signpost for further work in all branches of anthropology and related sciences. In this, the Anthropological Society of Yugoslavia found its base, starting point, support, and motivation for work during the past four decades of its existence. For this reason the Anthropological Society of Yugoslavia remembers their founder with gratitude on all occasions.

: Indicators of growth and development of primary school children in Sombor; Growth and development depend on both internal and external factors. Since living conditions are changeable it is necessary to determine the indicators of growth and development in every inhabited area. The aim of the paper was to determine basic indicators of growth and development, i.e. height, body mass and the time of menarche appearance. In May 2002 an anthropological measurement of 343 boys and 381 girls in a primary school in Sombor was conducted in accordance with IBP instructions. According to their decimal age the subjects were classified in age categories ranging from 8 to 15 years of age. The results have shown that there has been an increase in the height and body mass of boys (42.77 cm and 33.10 kg) and girls (35.17 cm and 25.85 kg). The investigation has also shown that at the age of 14 boys are significantly taller, and at the age of 15 they are significantly heavier in comparison with girls. According to BMI the highest percentage of children is well nourished. The average age at which schoolgirls get first menarche is 12.34+1.01.

: Indicators of satisfaction and readiness for engagement of secondary school students in physical education; Abstract indicators of satisfaction and readiness for engagement in physical education been tested on the sample of 421 first and third grade students of secondary schools in Sombor and Apatin. The questionnaire for identification and comparison of factors involved in satisfaction and motivation of students in the process of physical education. Has been applied the results of the research have shown that the examined factors mainly cause satisfaction. First of all, it refers to the mark the students have in the subject then their personal engagement at lessons and also the teacher's work, i.e. behavior. Statistically important correlations between most of the examined indicators have been established. In the field of students engagement at physical education lessons it has been established that majority of students (89.30%) is rarely of never absent. More than a half (60.1%) eypresses readiness for personal engagement in making better conditions at physical education lessons.

: Individualization of planning and programming of training work with sportsmen; Efficiency of sportsmen is determined by the level and structure of large number of characteristics and knowledge. Reliable and valid measuring instruments (tests) for the assessment of functional and motor abilities are used in practice. Diagnosing the status of the preparedness sportsmen planers is one of the prerequisites of a successful management of their process. It is necessary to compare the model values of the top sportsmen and the test values of sportsmen who are likely to make the team. On the basis of the obtained values it is possible to design programmers for the development of those abilities in witch the potential sportsmen have achieved significantly lower value than those comprised in the characteristics model of top sportsmen.
