: Some body measures of newborn children in Guinea Bissau; Some body measures of 6010 newborn children of both sex in Guinea Bissau were examined during 1984-1985. Means and standard deviations according to ethnic groups were done. Body mass was 2892 gr., body length 49,83 and head circumference 32,60 cm. There were some differences according to the ethnical group but this differences are more in connection with material conditions of life.

: Some hand tests in Gypsies from Republic Bulgaria; 451 Gypsies (186 men and 265 women) aged up 15 to 74 years are researched for execution of some hand tests (Clapping, Hand clasping, Arm folding). The authors find positive correlation between dominant hand and execution type according to Clapping test and little one according to Hand Clasping and Arm folding tests. There aren't any significant differences for Hand clasping and Arm Folding tests according to age and sex. But there are significant age and sex differences, related to Clapping test (p<0,001).

: Some morphological characteristics of first permanent molars; Study models of 1692 ortodontic patients and 36 twin pairs were examined for characteristics of Tuberculum Carabelli and presence of fifth cuspid in mandibular Mi. Occurence frequency of Tuberculum Carabelli was 54,61% and of fifth cuspid 83,04%. Tuberculum Carabelli was present in all five degrees but most frequently in degree I (75,76%), and least frequently in degree V (1,62%). In about 50% of all cases presence of both morphologic forms was found. Monozigote twin pairs showed great concordance (100%) for the occurrence of Tuberculum Carabelli and fifth cuspid. Dizigote twins showed considerably less concordance for Tuberculum Carabelli (65%) and slightly less concordance for fifth cuspid (95%).

: Some morphological characteristics of students; Anthropological investigation of the physical education students from 20 do 22 years of age indicates that they are tall persons with the average of 181.53 cm for males and 168.85 cm for females. The males have shown greater average body weight (77.62 kg) than the females (61.06 kg). The largest number of males has medium strong constitution while most of the females are thin. Both sexes have satisfactory middle chest circumference, this being significantly larger in the case of males. The cluster analysis has shown that the male students of physical education form a separate group in relation to their habitat, from other students of Novi Sad University, while the female students separate from the others in relation to their stature.

: Some news in the anthropogenesis and classification of human populations; Modern anthropogenesis considers Homo habilis (The Able Man) to be the first man in evolutionary history, and also believes that archenterons (Homo erectus, The Upright Man) were nondisputably human. Neanderthals are thought to be true humans and our immediate ancestors, and have recently been included into Homo sapiens sapiens, not into the extinct subspecies Homo neanderthalensis. In the territories of Europe, beginning some 30,000 to 25,000 years ago and up to our days, the Neanderthal populations were replaced by the Homo sapiens sapiens populations - the modern, intelligent man. In the anthropological literature of Southern Slavic lands, and in textbooks too, Neanderthals are placed among the died-out, blind-alley branches of anthropogenesis. However, the end of the second millennium brought many innovations in the perception of Homo sapiens order, its origin and migrations.

: Some somatotype components in very old age; 195 people from the whole country have been researched for some somatotype components (78 men and 117 women). The middle age of the studied persons is 91,81+-2,45 years for males and 91,38+-8,79 for females. The next somatometric indexes are investigated: stature, weight, BMI (body mass index) subscapular and triceps skinfold (in mm and corrected by A. Edwards et al. 1955). Skinfolds are researched separately in persons with obesity and normal weight too. Both skinfolds in women are nearly about 10 mm whole group. They are similar in people with obesity or with normal weight too. The subscapular skinfold in men is significantly higher than triceps one (16,16+-4,81 mm to 9,12+-3,29 mm; p<0,001). There is such tendency for two subgroups too (with obesitas and normal weight). There aren't any differences in stature for both sexes and weight for women while men with normal BMI have significant higher middle age then those with obesity (92,14+-2,76 to 90,95+-1,00 years; p<0,05). The sme BMI correlates positively with significantly results of the both skinfolds (p<0,001).

: South Slavs in the light of biophysical anthropology; South Slavs belong to a great Slavic tree from which they separated north of the great Carpathian arc and then, in the 5th and 6th century AD, settled in many parts of the Balkan Peninsula. At that time, they differed in their anthropological appearance from other ethnic communities (Illyrians, Thracians, Greeks, Celts and others) whom they met in the Balkans. The chroniclers of antiquity claimed that the Slavs, arriving in the Balkans, were tall, dolichocephalic, light of skin and hair color ('blond'), wide-faced, with prominent cheek-bones (zygionic), and with broad and strong lower jaw. In the Middle Ages, after the Turkish penetration into the Balkans, anthropological characteristics of South Slavs gradually change. Hair becomes darker, eyes also, body is more slim, with average height or tall, head becomes brachycephalic, face elongated, and the nose becomes more prominent, the 'eagle-nose'. Scientists believe that these alterations happened because of the influence of the environment, also because of mixed marriages and gradual slavization of the more ancient populations of the Balkans. These processes were accompanied by very slow gracilization and gradual Dinarization of the contemporary Southern-Slavic population. The aforementioned processes led, through gracilization and Dinarization, to the creation of the well-known Dinaric variety of the white race, the variety formed mainly in the Balkan Peninsula on the previously Illyrian territory, but at the time after the disappearance of the Illyrians. This is confirmed by osteological remains, by art, and by other sources that tell us about the South Slavic peoples of the Balkans.

: Specifications of sportsmen's menu; The subject of the work is nutrition of athletes, people who practice sport activity with the motive of perceiving specificity of this nutrition. Physical activity, during the process of training and competition, is cause of bigger loss in energy and nutritional substances in organism of athletes. Specificity of the nutrition of athletes is consist of covering increased needs in protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Energy cover has to be equal with energy loss. Nutrition duty is to improve psychophysical ability in athletes, efficiency, faster recover after physical activity and to keep optimum body weight. There are many factors that have to be consider in planning diet for an athlete, such as: age, sex health condition, body weight, climatic conditions, characteristics of sport activity, category, phase of training process, intensity, frequency and duration of training.

: Stature, body mass and age of menarche-in students girls; Stature, body mass and the appearance of menarche were investigated in 139 medical students, born in Vojvodina, mean age of 19,33 <= 0,54. The examination was done using retrospective method. The results were shown that the mean stature of the girls was 167,14 <= 6,44 cm, the mean body mass was 60,06 <= 9,33 kg. The median of year of menarche was found to be 12,83 <=1310. Comparing these results with results obtained by similar examination in 1971/72 (Gavrilović i sar., 1976, 1982), it can be seen that the today's girls (medical students) are 3,62 cm taller, have got 2,06 kg plus and the time of menarche is 0,34 year earlier versus the girls in 1971/72. Respectively, the acceleration of growth and development is 1,81 cm (stature), 1,03 kg (body mass) and 0,17 year (menarche) per decade.

: Stature, body weight, and chest circumference in persons with endogenous psychosis; An anthropometric research was carried out in 183 persons of both sexes with endogenous psychosis. The examined were 20-65 years of age and previously treated in the Special Psychiatric Hospital at Gornja Toponica near Nis. Body height, weight and mean chest circumference were analyzed. By the relationships of analyzed parameters Rohrer's index of body fullness and Pignet's index of body constitution were calculated. The results of the biometric research show that the mean values of examined parameters are within the borders adequate to normal population, but by aging those values decrease a bit sooner (after the age of 50). In females of all age groups very high values of Rohrer's index (above 1,50) were established. According to Pignet's index of body constitution, a higher percentage of male patients with weak and bad physical constitution, compared to females, was determined.

: Strategic factors of sport development; The first step in strategical approach to the development of sports system (branch association) is definition of the strategic factors which makes the basis of that development. Theoretically, these ones are: (1) the endogenous or organisational factors as are structure, culture and resources which are in possession of a system, and (2) exogenous or environmental factors which are out of the management's influence but by whom it must count in decision making. On the basic of empirical data about Organisational (frequency of sport organisations, socio-cultural level of membership, completion of professional staff) and environmental (resources Of financing) factors, authors analysing the impact of existing different configurations of these factors on the types of development of sports in Vojvodina. The typology of sports development were defined by crossconnection of two characteristics: 1) the population of activists-competitors (debutantes, juniors, seniors) and 2) competition level a) lower level - community, zonal, republic, b) higher level federal, international). By appliance of the cluster and QCA analysis authors 1) investigates the real configurations of development factors and the tipology of the sports system development in Vojvodina and 2) testing the Qualitative Comparative Analysis as a research technique due to the macrosocial phenomena as the sports system develpoment is.
