In the Republic of Serbia obesity is growing into a major problem. The aim of the study is to determine nutritional status in children aged 7-11 and to identify possible factors affecting obesity. A cross-sectional anthropological survey was carried out in primary schools in rural and urban places of North Bačka region in Vojvodina (North part of the Republic of Serbia). The investigation was performed between 2017-2020 and included 1057 boys and 1085 girls aged 6.50-11.49 years. The body mass index (BMI kg/ m2 ) was calculated and the assessment of nutritional condition was based on IOTF. Using logistic regression we tested interactions of obesity with socioeconomic and demographic factors. Underweight is present in 5.53% of children (3.78% in boys and 7.28% in girls). Overweight prevalence was detected in 18% of subjects (19.02% in boys and 17.69% in girls) and obesity prevalence in 9.73% of subjects (11.54% in boys and 7.93% in girls). A significant relationship between certain sociodemographic parameters and BMI values and the occurrence of obesity in both sexes was found. The results indicate that exceed weight is present in 27.73% of subjects and represent a public health issue in younger shool-aged children of this region in Vojvodina.

Depopulation of mountains has been an intense and lengthy process in Serbia. This paper will analyze the potential of Kopaonik mountain for the development of tourism, which can be one of the key factors for the demographic revitalization of the entire mountain. In tourism development so far, Kopaonik mountain stands out as one of the most important carriers of mountain tourism in Serbia. The limiting factor in the development so far is the pronounced seasonality of tourism promotion. The aim of the research in the paper will be to identify the factors that influence seasonality phenomena as the main limiting factor for achieving better economic effects.

The study was conducted on a sample of 200 subjects of both sexes, with the aim to indicate the trend of changes in height and body weight, as well as the level of nutrition in subjects with an average age of 13.6 years compared to the results of previous studies. For the purposes of comparative analysis, the survey included data obtained from studies conducted over the past 50 years, the subject of which was body height and body mass as the main morphological characteristics of the human body. According to the obtained results, it was determined that the acceleration phenomenon was present in the analyzed time period. Extremely body height was observed in both boys of (13.8 cm) and girls (11.0 cm) as well as body weight in boys (18.8 kg) and girls (13.7kg). The obtained results of Body Mass Index in today's boys are 21.6 kg/m2 and 20.7 kg/m2 in girls. The main causes of the trend of marked changes in the analyzed morphological characteristics are: malnutrition, insufficient physical activity and overuse of modern technological means, as key characteristics of the present way of life of children and young people.

For decades, there has been talk of changing the reproductive pattern of women's behavior according to their place of residence. Starting from the period of industrialization and urbanization, there was first a reduction of rural areas in favor of urban areas. Fewer and fewer inhabitants were engaged in agriculture, which deepened the process of deagrarization by destroying agricultural land, turning into residential or industrial zones. It was considered that the carriers of reproduction were precisely rural households that initially gave birth to children not only because of family ambition but also because of the need to work on large arable land. The number of family members in the middle of the last century was far greater than today. In other words, the size of the family decreased with the move to the cities. Even if Semberija is an exceptionally agrarian area, it has undergone the same transformation, both demographically and spatially. The aim of this paper is to determine fertile differences in the rural-urban zone of Semberija. Using the survey questionnaire, we included 1000 women of childbearing age, of which 357 respondents in rural areas, 575 in urban areas and 68 in suburban areas. The stability of the statistical significance of fertility according to the type of settlement was examined by parametric analysis of variances. The results of the research indicate that the carriers of reproduction are still women who live in rural areas, but with a far smaller number of children and family members than before. According to this analysis, there are statistically significant differences between villages and cities, as well as between villages and suburbs, while such a difference does not exist between cities and suburbs. The average number of children in the countryside is around 2, 17. While the urban zones keep the total fertility rate below 2.

Conducting cephaloscopic studies in order to obtain the characteristics of ethnic groups inhabiting a particular geographical region not only helps to understand the frequency of distribution of human morphological traits, but also provides a basis for comparison between different populations. A sample of 2683 individuals of school age (12 to 17 years) of both sexes, divided into smaller groups according to age, sex and origin was analyzed in terms of 7 cephaloscopic traits. This contingent originates from the districts of Thessaly and EpirusCentral Greece, which represent about 10.1% of the population of Greece. During the study, standard anthropological equipment of Siber Hegner Maschinen AG - Zurich was used, according to the classical methodology of Martin & Saller (1957). A cluster analysis revealed two main branches, dividing the compared groups by the chronology of the studies, as well as smaller branches, according to their sex. These results suggest a significant change in the frequencies of occurrence over time, with the territorial factor prevailing over gender in the present study. Available data obtained during the 1980s prove the opposite. A comparison of the percentages of occurrence of some scopic traits in boys and girls from Thessaly and Epirus according to bibliographic and current data demonstrates declining temporal deviation: differences between genders were higher 20 years before the present study.
通过脑镜研究获得特定地理区域的族群特征，不仅有助于了解人类形态特征的分布频率，而且为不同种群之间的比较提供了依据。选取学龄(12 ~ 17岁)男女共2683人，按年龄、性别和出身进行分组，对7项脑电图特征进行分析。这支队伍来自色萨利和伊庇鲁斯中部希腊地区，约占希腊人口的10.1%。在研究过程中，根据Martin & Saller(1957)的经典方法论，使用了Siber Hegner Maschinen AG - Zurich的标准人类学设备。聚类分析揭示了两个主要分支，根据研究的时间顺序划分比较组，以及根据性别划分较小的分支。这些结果表明，随着时间的推移，发生频率发生了重大变化，在本研究中，地域因素比性别因素更重要。1980年代获得的现有数据证明了相反的情况。根据文献资料和当前数据对色萨利和伊庇鲁斯地区男孩和女孩的某些特征的发生率进行了比较，结果表明时间偏差正在下降:在本研究之前的20年，性别之间的差异较大。

Health Status is the basic indicator of human wellbeing and nutritional status. Deficiencies or imbalance in nutrient intake leads to malnutrition which is associated with a number of short- and long-term health consequences that alleviate the ability of an individual to sustain economically productive work and ultimately hinder the development of the whole nation. Thus, study on nutritional status requires urgent attention in order to prevent malnutrition related complications. In this background, the present study examines nutritional status of the Garos of West Garo Hills, Meghalaya. To achieve this purpose, cross-sectional study was conducted among 43 females and 57 males of 'Garos' from Asananggre village, West Garo Hills, Northeast India (Meghalaya). The study divulge taller and heavier males compared to females. Body Mass Index status of male and female did not differ significantly (p<0.05). Majority of females belong to normal (52.6%) followed by overweight category(35.1%) while males were more incline to overweight category (48.8%). According to MUAC, the nutritional status of both the males and females are normal. Significant (p<0.05) difference was seen between males and females in terms of Hemoglobin level where, majority were mild anemic or normal.1.8% females were found to be severely anemic. From the study it can be envisaged that most adult males and females are well-nourished and only few females were severely anemic i.e., undernourished.

There are several previously published studies suggesting that different people deposit different quantities of their own DNA on items they handled, so can be considered good or bad shedders. This study aimed to investigate the amount of DNA deposited on sterile plastic tubes handled by the employees in our lab for 15 seconds. In particular, we wanted to test if there are differences in the amount of DNA deposited by dominant versus non-dominant hand. Moreover, we investigated the amount of DNA deposited before, immediately after and 30 minutes after hand washing. In the end, this study compared two sampling techniques, namely wet and dry swabbing, aiming to define the technique that guarantees better recovery of touch DNA. A samples were collected from 6 individuals and analyzed for differences in DNA quantity between the two hands of the same individual, but also between different individuals and different sampling techniques. In general, our preliminary results have shown that there are no significant differences between dominant vs nondominant hand. Consistent differences were observed between individuals regarding their ability to deposit biological material on handled objects. Sampling technique was factor that significantly influenced the amount of recovered DNA, suggesting that wet swabbing recovered higher DNA amounts compared to dry swabbing. Hand washing can be considered efficient anti contaminant measure as it significantly reduces the amount of biological material deposited on handled object. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings, especially those considering quantification of DNA deposited by individuals for prolonged period of time.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and their conection with health risk anthropometrical factors among Bulgarian university students, the main in the South Bulgaria. The sample population of the study included total 386 young people, of which 303 females and 83 males, between 18-30 years of age i.e. the mean age is 21.3-21.4 years. They were from different regions of Bulgaria, mainly from Southern Bulgaria.The study was conducted transversally in the period between 2015 and 2017. For each person the weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. On this base the body mass index and waist to height ratio were calculated by formulas. Underweight was defined as BMI< 18.5 kg/m2, overweight as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was used for evaluation of central (abdominal) obesity, that was defined as WHtR ≥ 0.5. The prehypertension was defined when SBP > 120 <139 and/or DBP > 80 <89 mmHg and hypertension when SBP ≥ 140 and/or DBP ≥ 90mmHg. The statistical processing of the data was done using software package Statistica 10.0 and SPSS 20.0 by means of descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results show that the underweight occurs among 1.2% of the men and among 15.2% of the women, the overweight occur among 32.5% of men and 13.9% of women and obesity was found among 10.8% of the men and 8.6% of the women.Central obesity occur among 32% of males and 17% of females, independently of their nutritional status. The prehypertension occur among 46% of the men and 28% of the women.The hypertension found among 18% of the men and among 2% of the women. Among male students with prehypertension the overweight occur among 35.7%, and obesity occur among 10.7% of participants, while among hypertensive male the overweight and obesity occurs in 18.2% and 36.4%, respectively. In group of prehypertensive females 22.4% are overweight and 14.9% are obese. Hypertension occur among 20% of overweight and 40% of obese female students. In group of central obese male the prehypertension and hypertension occurs among 55% and 20%, respectively. Among central obese females 47.5% are prehypertensive and 7.5% are hypertensive. The results also show that the waist circumference has a serious potential to influence on the blood pressure level at an early adulthood in both sexes. The higher prevalence of elevated blood pressure, overweight, general and central obesity among Bulgarian university students maybe connect with factors such as a sex, hormonal status, hereditary burden and sexual differences in some lifestyle habits as a nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, individual physiological and biochemical status, psychological stress during student life and other.
