: Influence of height, weight, triceps skin fold thickness and body mass index on the success in manifestation of long-term explosive strength abilities in male and female pupils aged 12 years; The aim of this article is to establish the influence of anthropometrical measure height, weight, triceps skin fold thickness and body mass index on motor performance space in male and female pupils aged 12 years old. The main sample of 333 was divided in two subgroups of female (162) and male pupils (171). EUROFIT tests standing broad jump, flexed arm hang, sit-ups, 10 x 5m shuttle-run and 20m shuttle-run ware used. Component factor analyze was used with the Kaiser-Guttmann criterion, with the purpose to establish the latent dimensions in motor performance space. Two latent dimensions ware established in female pupil's motor performance space, and one significant latent main component in male pupil's motor performance space. Regression analyze was established with the aim to define the influence on anthropometrical measures to the factor scores determinate motor performance latent dimensions.

: Intelligence and psychopathy; On a representative sample of 647 male subjects 19 to 27 years old. relations of intelligence and psychopathy were studied on the basis of 25 tests for estimating the efficacy of perceptive, serial and parallel processors, and 4 tests of psychopathy. One significant (0.57) canonic correlation was found, attributable to disorders of the functioning of central, perceptive, parallel, and particularly the serial processor with the subjects (examined persons) with a psychopathic structure of personality.

: Interdependence of decrease in density of mandibular osseous layers and systemic skeletal negative remodeling in view of osteoporosis; Mean values of each T value L2-4 of examined experimental group patients respectively were calculated: average T=-2.89g/cm3 for women and average T=-2.59 g/cm3 for male patients. On the basis of analyses of determined surfaces and bone appearances of orthopantomographic radiographs, reduced heights of mandibular alveolar ridges-distally of mental phoramens were evidenced: averaged hr=23.59 mm and hl=23.22 mm for women as well as hr=25.16 mm and hl=25.11mm for men patients of experimental group. Numerical values of densities of mandibular surfaces in areas of "chewing centers" were lower for experimental group patients: averaged densities on the right Dr=-1.62U/mm2 and on the left Dl=-1.61 U/mm2 for women patients, as well as Dr=-1.47 U/mm2 and Dl=-1.44 U/mm2 for male patients. Conclusions: T results indicated systemic osteoporosis in bones of experimental group patients. For all the experimental group patients negative remodeling of mandibular layers is in the consequence of osteoporosis. Aim of this study was to assess whether decrease in density of vertebral-lumbar osseous layers induce decrease in density of mandibular osseous layers. Methods. 18 patients (12 women and 6 men) having weakened lumbar vertebrae by reason of reduced density were the experimental group. 7 women and 6 men having normal lumbar densities were the controls. To determine density of lumbar bones of interest, densitometry was applied (DPX-L scanner, Lunar). Mandibular osseous layers were assessed (ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH 10, Siemens, Germany) using standardized orthopantomographic radiographs. Numerical values of densities of mandibular osseous layers and surfaces were measured using densitometer apparatus (DTII05, England).

: Intrafamiliar correlative dependence; The great majority of phenotype changes studied by the anthropologist are increasing, i.e. the anthropometrical traits show more or less an incessant variability. The presence of an incessant variability is due to the interaction among the genes as well as to their interaction with the environment. In the research work on features with incessant variability is admitted the hypothesis about the influence of the numerous factors i.e. the Gaus distribution of the quantitative features through the existence of a sum of independent influences with equal quantity. The admission of such a hypothesis assumed the necessity to estimate the influence of the genetic factors as well as these of the environment in the study on polyfactoral hand down of the features. In the present report we represent the results obtained while studying the hand down of the polyfactoral anthropometrical traits.

: Investigation of menarche appearance in schoolgirls in Begeč; The menarche has been studied on the sample of 82 aged 10-15 years old girls in elementary school at Begec, by status quo method. The median for menarche obtained by the probit analysis. The median for menarche in Begec schoolgirls is 12,65 years, i. e. 12 years 7 inonts and 27 days. The menarche median is 12,65 years on the basis of present data, being practically unchanged compared to the median of 1977/78. The menstruating girls are of greater body mass then not yet menstruating girls. No difference in menarche age between the schoolgirls of different ethnical groups. Daughters of fathers with intellectual occupation begin to menstruate earlier (12,33) than those of parents occupied as agricultural workers (13,27). The higher the number of living brothers and sisters of a girl the later her menarche begins. The most girl menstruated at First in Juli (24,39%) and February (19,51%). The smallest relative frequency of menarche was in October (3%).

: Investigation of skeleton remains from Kameniti hat(Subotica); Subotica (Northern Yugoslavia) is rich with archeological findings. In this project the data is given about antropological process of a series of skeletons, alltogether 53 skeletons (part of the graveyard), which were found not very far from Subotica, South from the lake Palić. The findings are from the 13th-14th century. Preservation of the skeletons is medium. 7 child, 26 male and 18 female skeletons were determined. The asymmetry of the left and right side of the body is explicit. Sexual dimorphism is also explicit. Anthropologically and statistically as well as cranially and postcranially were processed the skeletons' remains.

: Istorija i budućnost ljudskog roda, evolucioni i populacioni problem; First question: the evolution of man doesn't finished by the process of sapientation and continue in the history and in the further development of Mankind on the Earth? Seen from this point of view, the Mankind and the science of man, are still in their infancy (A. Hrdlika, 1924). Human personality seems to belong to the class of the cultural products since it is the effect of imposing a given system of socio-cultural standards of behavior on the system of inborn reflexes, being achieved by education and centralized around something what is psychically manifested as a sense of Ego (A. Wierdnski, 1982). As for the immediate future, the study of human behavior in different cultural, natural and social conditions, present the main task of work in nature and in society - and of anthropology as the humanology, working primary to preserve and annoble Homo sapiens on the Earth (J. Wolf, 1989). Man as a species, however, can in contemporary conditions under the circumstances, follow the way of scientifically directed and programmed evolution, which can be characterized as a humanization process in contradistinction to the previous levels and stages of anthropogenesis. An other question is how to call and classify this process. I use the term 'humanization', though, I might use the term 'A further stage of sapientation' or some similar term. as well. I think however, that for most important is the requirement to distinguish the process of sapientation and its division into two essential parts or stages the biological and the social, or humanisational. And then it would be possible to characterize it as an artificial, cultural degree of the sapientation of man, that will enable much more intensive and more profound interventions into the future ontogenetic and phylogenetic structures of man - both in positive and negative sense. In any case, it is necessary to classify and evaluate more exactly the present state of evolution of man and also to try to form eventually to program the possibilities of the future existence of Homo sapiens on the Earth.

: Kell system blood groups on population of Vojvodina; Kell system blood groups were examined on blood donors. The tests were made on the sample of 1012 donors for K (Kell) and K (Cellano)genes and on the sample of 204 donors for Kpa, Kpb, Jsa and Jsb genes. The analyses were made through standard procedures and the data were statistically processed. The results correspond to those of the previous researches made on the population of Vojvodina. There are no statistically important differences for Kell and Cellano antigens when compared to the frequencies of Kell system antigens that were come upon during earlier researches in Vojvodina. and the number and percentage of phenotypes, genotypes and frequencies of Kpa, Kpb, Jsa and Jsb genes that were determined through our procedures are the first data of this kind for this area. dComparisons were made for the white race, while deviations concerning sex were not examined because of the small sample. The study has confirmed that the population of Vojvodina is specific and it represents a contribution to the analysis of the genetic variability of population in Vojvodina.

: Level of intensity of sport recreative activities in function of improvement of motoric abilities; The research was done on the sample of 376 male students of the University of Niš. The sample was divided into experimental basketball group El. 123 students, experimental swimming group E2, 126 students and control group 127 students (had no physical activities). The students were divided according to their own interest. Experimental program lasted 45 classes each class lasted 60 minutes. The influence of sport recreative activity was monitored using EUROFIT test battery, containing 8 variables. To establish possible differences at initial measurement between groups multivariate analyzes of variance (MANOVA) was used while the differences between groups were established by univarijant analysis of variance (ANOVA). To establish the efficacy of experimental programs and possible differences between groups multivariate analysis of variance (MANKOVA) was used. Differences between each group were established by univariant analysis of variance (ANKOVA). The results show that sport recreative program 3 times a week beside other external and internal factors, improves the motorical abilities of experimental groups compared to control.

: Life and work of Boris Zarnik; In this article we deal with our great scientist Boris Zarnik who was born on March 11th 1883 in Ljubljana and died on January 13th 1945 in Zagreb. He studied medicine and natural science and was in 1904 graduated 'surnma cun laude'. he worked very hard for a long period, mostly from the beginning of XX. century to the second world war. Among his most important achievements we must mention the foundation of Anthropological section of the Sociological society in Croatia, the organization of anthropological investigations of the Croatian people, his greatest attention payed to the problems of human being and eugenics and especially his strong fights against the racism on the basis of scientific investigations and findings. He spent a lot of his time on constructing and arranging of institutes in several towns, but he also found tima to write articles and proceedings and he left us a large bibliography. With all his life and work on the field of biology and anthropology Boris Zarnik gave a great tribute to the progress and popularization of this branch of science.

: Longitudinal dimensions of pupils in Krčedin; The investigation of longitudinal characteristics in school children from 6 to 15 years of age showed that cross section of growth curves appear at the age of 10 and 13. It was also recorded that the stature, upon which most longitudinal characteristics depend, varied from 118,22 <= 7,01 (6 years) to 172,40 <= 8,05 (15 years) in boys and from 123,56 <= 4,40 (7 years) to 160,99 <= 5,59 (15 years) in girls. In comparison with the other adequate population of Vojvodina, the obtained values are somewhat lower, except for sitting height.

: Longitudinal investigation of growth and development of female students from 10 to 15 years of age; A longitudinal investigation was conducted among the female students from third to eight grade of two primary school in Novi Sad. The investigation included 118 female students who where surveyed each year in the same month. The surveyed characteristics included stature, body mass and chest circumference. Age at menarche was also taken into account. The aim of the investigation was to record the age at menarche as well as the growth intensity of girls body with and without menstrual cycle. It has been recorded that in 9,31% of girls the age at menarches iz 11 years, while in 100% of girls the age at menarche is 14 years. The average age at menarche for all girls is 12,61±0,89 and menarche median begin 12,55~,10. Comparing the stature, body mass and chest circumference in girls of the same age both with and without menarche, greater values have been recorded in girls with menarche, with statistically significant difference found for the age of 11 and 12 (for p>0,005). Growth intensity is greater in younger girls with menarche.
