    Summary: The study of the population structure of selected islands of theEastern Adriatic, as biotopes with similar ecological conditions,applies the holistic approach, including the simultaneous studyof biological and sociocultural factors of human populations.Considering the degree of isolation of human groups which canaffect the formation of divergent characteristics, one of thebasic problems is to establish the level of openness and/orcloseness of populations through the analysis of the dialectalrelations in barriers. Particular attention is paid to the effectof isolation by distance as well as to the detailed study ofethnohistorical and demographic traits which provide data on pastand present migrations. Despite the existing similarities indemographic history of the analysed regions, the contemporaryprocesses of microdifferentiation are not identical, particularlywith regard to the intensity and distance of migrations, level ofendogamy and/or exogamy and the degree of genetic and migrationalkinship.

    Summary: Epidemiologic studies have shown that age-sex-specific curves ofarterial blood pressure vary widely among populations. Therefore,relationship between blood pressure, age and sex was examined in1982-1987 in a random cross-sectional adult sample, of 1712 malesand 2120 females, from the rural eastern Adriatic population,Croatia. In both sexes, simple correlation matrix revealed astrong and highly significant positive association between age,systolic and diastolic blood pressure, that seemed to be strongerwith systolic pressure than diastolic pressure, and morepronounced in females than in males. Mean systolic and diastolicblood pressure levels increased with age in both men and women,but different rates of rise between sexes were manifested bylower pressure in females during active reproductive life, andhigher after the age of menopause. From the middle age forwards,borderline hypertensive average systolic and diastolic bloodpressure values were found in both sexes. It was concluded thatage and sex are prominent determinants of arterial bloodpressure, although underlying mechanisms are still not completelyunderstood.

    Summary: Changes in forced vital capacity (FVC), as an indirect measure ofpulmonary size, and changes in body surface area, as an indirectmeasure of body size, were investigated with the purpose ofanalysing growth during puberty. Changes in lean body mass, as ameasure of increase in tissue with a pronounced oxygen demand,were additionally investigated. Measurements were performed in 205 healthy children of bothsexes. Longitudinal studies were started at the children age of11,5 years and finished at the age of 14,5. Variables weremeasured once a year. FVC increased significantly faster related to body surface area,even to lean body mass. During the deceleration of body surfacearea growth and lean body mass growth, FVC continued to grows atthe same rate. The findings confirmed the thesis of latency inlung growth related to body growth.

    Summary: Aims.To determine the frequency of tolerance development tonitroglycerin infusion during the 72-hour period of acutemyocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris treatment. Methods. Tolerance development to nitroglycerin infusion wasdetermined by measuring changes in blood pressure following theperiodical discontinuation of infusion every 12 hours over theperiod of 72 hours. The study included 60 patients with acutemyocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris. Loss of a 10%increase in mean arterial blood pressure as a response to a30-minute interruption of nitroglycerin infusion was considered asign of tolerance. Results. The number of patients who developed tolerance increasedprogressively during the first 24 hours (p<0.01). In mostpatients tolerance appeared during the first 36 hours of NGinfusion (p<0.01). After 12,24,36,48,60 and 72 hours of infusion,tolerance was registered in 57%,73%,82%,83%,87% and 92% of thepatients, respectively. Conclusions. As 82% of the patients developed tolerance duringthe first 36 hours, interruption of infusion seems to beindicated during further nitrate treatment. A new model fortolerance investigation is suggested.

    Summary: Prediction equations for FVC and FEV1 developed specifically forthe North Dalmatian population aged 13 to 18 years, have beencompared with the other published reports obtained for childrenand adolescents. Different prediction equations that have beenused as referent in Croatia did not compare favourably with theNorth Dalmatian equations. The results support the use of thedeveloped population specific reference values in the region ofNorth Dalmatia. Nomograms for the prediction of FVC and FEV1 areprovided.

    Summary: Through the use of temporal migration analysis we demonstrate theimpact of migrational mobility and selective pressures uponpopulation structure over four different time periods. Migrationanalysis was conducted on data of the parental and ancestralorigin of 1004 research subjects living on the island of Hvar.Data on the parents' offspring birth places were organized intofour cohorts according to the year of birth of the offspring. Thecohorts were determined according to four time periods that wereselected on the basis of their economic and politicalsignificance in the history of the island of Hvar: 1850-1891,1892-1913, 1914-1940 and 1941-1960. The extent of reproductiveisolation is exceptionally high in all four cohorts, butparadoxically the lowest in the first cohort. Due to increasedsystematic pressure and migrational mobility, endogamy begins toslightly decrease (91%) in the fourth cobort. More than likelyhigh endogamy estimates for all four cohorts (86%, 93%, 92%, 91%)are partly the result of small effective sizes (Nef) of analysedsubpopulations. Reduction in population size was due tohistorical developments, including economic crises at the turn ofthe century and substantial out-migration of the population priorto World War I and between the two World Wars. The exceptionallyhigh differentiation of the island's subpopulations is confirmedby high values of Wright's Fst (.025099,.021859), with a slightdecrease in the third and fourth cobort (.012251,.019465). TheFst values of the last two cohorts are lower than the values ofthe first two cohorts, but the rise in the fourth cohort comparedto the third confirms a persistant heterogeniety even in the lastcohort. The large number of generaions (K) required to achievegenetic balance indicate that forces working in the direction ofhomogeniety as opposed to heterogeneity of subpopulations on Hvarwere very weak for all coborts. Even for the fourth cohort, wichhas the highest migrational mobility, 78 generations would berequired to establish a genetic equilibrium among thesubpopulations of the island. Altogether results show that theisland of Hvar is closed to a higher extent than expected andthat the island of Hvar is even currently isolated if compared toother islands.

    Summary: This paper examines the relationship between culture andpersonality in the population of the Eastern Adriatic, Croatia.Definitions of "normality" may differ from one cultural contextto another; within societies, individual variability indicateshuman and cultural complexity and not necessarily deviance ormental illness. It seems to us that social changes have resultedin widespread distrubution of aspects of personality oftenassociated with an increase in narcissism. In the majority ofthe population, these phenomena represent an adaptation to socialnorms. Only in extreme cases are these traits, in combinationwith others, manifest as well-known psychopatology.

    Summary: Reference values for FVC and FEV1 have been developed on a sampleof 909 healthy adult nonsmokers, men and women, between the agesof 18 to 86 years. The examinees are the inhabitants of Korčula,Brač, Silba, Olib, Pag and the Pelješac peninsula. The lungfunction parameters were analysed as functions of height and ageusing full model multiple linear regression analysis. Comparisonswith prediction equations for other equally selected populationsindicated that even most commonly used equations in Ygoslavmedical practice are inadequate for our data. Presently derivedreference values are reliable and can be used in daily medicalpractice.

    Summary: The developmental displacement of the hip is a disease with thepresumption of congenital origin. The intrauterine development ofthe hip is going on at the same time as development of all limbs,consequently fingers, palms and soles, and also associatedermatoglyphic patterns. In these investigations we intend tocompare the dermatoglyphic patterns in patients withdevelopmental displacement of the hip and control group ofphenotypically healthy persons. The sample is 75 male and 67 female patients with developmentaldisplacement of the hip, and the comparative group is 599 maleand 840 female phenotypically healthy persons. Statisticallysignificant difference in frequencies of patterns betweenpatients and control groups in males and in females was found. Wedid not found statistically significant difference on the palms.The asimmetry between right and left hands is higher incomparative groups, especially in females. We may well say thathypotheses that developmental displacement of the hip hascongenital origin, because the asimmetry is lower, and theenviromental factos have greater influence on dermatoglyphs ofthe digito-palmar complex in comparative groups, especially infemales. Therefore we might conclude that the investigation hasto be continued analysing quantitative dermatoglyphic traits, toverify this findings objectively.

    Summary: This paper brings the results of the research of 12 anthropometric variables conducted on the total of 5,339 examinees (2,454 males and 1,885 females) from the areas of Istria, Pag, Silba, Olib, Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Pelješac and Podravina. The research was carried out with the aim to, within the framework of the studied variables, establish the level of differentiation and the shape of variations among the populations. Our work has shown the existance of significant heterogeneity for all of studied anthropometric variables and for both sexes. Separation of 4 population clusters is evident, which coincides with demographic, socio-cultural and historical data.

    Summary: Within the scope of holistic anthropological investigations of the population of the Island of Brač, an analysis of the dental and bone status with regard to the aging process in women and men was made through the evaluation of the possible correlation of systems in the human body, represented by the above mentioned dental and the bone status. The analysis of the dental status showed a markedly great number of extracted teeth in the investigated age range, particularly in women. This fact resulted in the high values of the DMF Index. The bone loss (evaluated through the morphometry of metacarpal bones) in this population too appeared as a universal and progressive process, which became manifest in twice higher results the aging process of the organism. We did not find a distinct correlation between these two systems, the dental and the bone one. It seems thet two almost totally separate systems are involved, which tend to react independently in the functional adaptation, that is to say different dynamics of transformation of "skeletal units" in the growing and developmental process and/or the aging process of the human organism.

    Summary: Within the scope of holistic anthropologic-prosthetic studies performed in the populations of the islands of Brač, Silba and Olib, dental status characteristics were analyzed according to the relative frequency of the loss of permanent teeth and supply with mobile prostheses. Changes in the number of health, carious, extracted and teeth with fillings with aging were most pronounced in the increased number of extracted and decreased number of healthy teeth. In both sexes, the loss of teeth began with first permanent molars, followed by premolars and wisdom teeth. The rate of the loss of incisors and canines was greater in females for both jaws. In the study populations, the frequency of mobile prostheses increased with aging, but was lower than expected from the number of extracted teeth. No significant interpopulation differences in the supply with prostheses weree recorded, in spite of the fact that the island of Brač has a well organized dental service, whereas the islans of Silba and Olib are at about a 5-hour ship distance from the nearest prosthetic clinic. A relatively good prosthetic supply in the latter populations were accounted for by mitration of these islanders to large land cities, where they have their prosthetic needs amended, then returning to the islands at an old age, with their dental state generally settled.

    Summary: As an introduction to a multidisciplinary study to be carried out on the island of Krk, an attempt has been made to analyse the linguistic characteristics of its population as an indicator of cultural microevolution, and/or a possible mechanism of isolation between particular sub-population groups. The analysis of linguistic similarities and differences among individual settlements on the island of Krk was made in the space of basic vocabulary by applying Hemming's similarity measures. The results obtained show a comparatively high degree of differences between the local speeches of the individual settlements, although they all belong to one dialect. These variants are explained by different substrata due to migration and communicative isolation in particular villages.

    Summary: Quantitative and qualitative dermatoglyphic traits of thedigito-palmar complex were used in the analysis of the affinitiesbetween the twelve island populations of the Eastern Adriaticcoast. The male population from the islands of Silba and Olibshows greather similarities with populations of the Dalmatiancoast than with the nearest population from the island of Pag inthe Zadar archipelago. The female population of the island ofOlib shows greater similarities with the Dalmatian islandsspecially in quantitative dermatoglyphic traits; the similaritiesare greater with western population groups than with the easternones on the islands. The female population from the island ofSilba shows similarities with the nearest island of Pag forquantitative dermatoglyphic traits, but not for qualitative ones.These results seem to corroborate with the patterns of populationstructure of these island populations.

    Summary: The paper deals with a problem of distribution of body fat asimportant factor for cardiovascular disease in epidemiologicalstudies of adult population on islands of Brač, Hvar, Korčula andPeninsula Pelješac. According to the recorded lifestyle habitvariables the sample tends to lead vigorous daily life due to itsagricultural occupation and has a homogenous socioeconomicstatus. Various methods and indices of body fat distribution havebeen used. In summary, the cardiovascular fitness as determinedby aerobic capacity, is related to body fat distribution butprimarily, it is related to the amount of fatness itself(Proceedings, International Conference on Human EnvironmentSystem, Tokyo, Japan, 19-22, 1991).

    Summary: The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities ofapplication of some not so commonly used variables in the studyof population structure, i.e. physiological(cardio-respiratory) traits. The discriminant analysis carriedout for 34 village populations resulted in highly significantoverall discrimination. Those results reflect also geneticinterpopulational differences, and indicate that thephysiological traits - in spite of their extreme phenotypicplasticity - can also be applied along with the usually acceptedbiological traits in the holistic multidimensional study ofpopulation structure.

    Summary: Technology transfer conditions a need for development ofergonomics in developing countries. Realization of ergonomicresearches in these countries is often troublesome because of alimited possibility for the adequate modern laboratory equipmentpurchase, which is, from the economic aspects, very expensive.Through the example of standing broad jump movements analysis andsimulation, this work presents a method for ergonomic parametersobservation, that can be performed using low cost equipment (homeVCR, PC Amiga 500), available even to individuals. Anthropometricvalues were adjusted to byomechanical purposes by regressionmethod of Donsky&Zaciorsky, and real data were obtained byprocessing of video recorded jumps of five jumpers. Startingvelocities, as well as approximation curves of the orbits of bodymass centers and the changes of dynamic moments of inertia werecalculated, while shadows of jumping objects per individualstages of flights were drawn. On the basis of obtained data wasanalysed the influence of single parameters on the jump results,and 2D and 3D animations of a sequence of jumping movements weremade for two jumpers with different body height but the samestarting velocities and jump length. The results confirmed thatthis method enables analysis of changes of geometric andkinematic parameters, as well as body and bodies parts moments ofinertia, which is of great importance in dynamic analysis andstudies of movements.

    Summary: Epidemiological studies have shown that relations between age, sex and arterial blood pressure vary widely among populations. In this presentation we discuss such relations in the random autochthonous sample of 191 males and 205 females from the island of Krk. Results have shown positive and significant relationship between age and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels increased with age in both sexes. Such findings made it possible for us to conclude that age and sex are determinants of arterial blood pressure, although the underlying mechanisms are yet to be fully described and understood.

    Summary: The anthropogenetic structure of four island and peninsular populations divided into eight sub-population groups (Brač East, Brač West, Hvar East, Hvar West, Korčula East, Korčula West, Pelješac East, Pelješac West) of the Middle Dalmatia, Croatia, is analyzed on the basis of the study of seven different erythrocyte antigen systems of groups (ABO, Rhesus, Kell, P, Duffy, Kidd and Lutheran), and three erytrocyte isoenzyme systems (ESD, ASP and AK). The average sample size was 400 individuals. Allele frequencies and genetic distances were computed and the results indicate that all the populations in the study have preserved their distinctive characteristics over the course of their (micro)evolution to the present day. This is specially noticeable for the population of Korčula, as it distinguished itself from the other three populations by a greater degree of isolation.

    Summary: The basic question this article poses is: what do the concepts ofpeople, folk culture and folklore mean today, and can they beoperationalized for the purpose of modern research work? A shortanalysis of the disciplines that mostly treated these subjects(ethnology, folkloristcs) shows that they were not defined fromthe social aspect and that as time passed the basic concept(people) was reduced to only one social stratum - the peasants.This can to a certain extent be explained by the historic genesisof the disciplines themselves ethnology and folkloristcs).However, the main reason for this reduction is a static approachto the phenomena. Neglecting the diachronic moment necessarilynarrows, down the grasp of relations and processes so the factthat the cultures of some groups (strata) interfered with eachother was often overlooked. Since a people is not a culturallyhomogeneous community but is formed by diferent social groupsthat can be very heterogeneous, research should be directed inthat direction. In that way the concept of people, earlier usedin ethnological and folkloristic research, should be replaced bythe concept of the (small) group of immediate contact based onlocal communities and limited by the framework of personal socialrelations.

    Summary: Aim: Growth rate of systolic thickness and that of diastolicthickness of left ventricular wall were compared, analysingmosaicism of pubertal growth patterns of heart. Methods: Longitudinal study of echocardiographic andanthropometric variables in 240 healthy children during pubertywas performed. Results: Rate of growth of systolic thicknesses of leftventricular walls exceed these of diastolic thickness (p<0.01). Conclusion: Different rates of growth of systolic and diastolicthickness of left ventricular walls are probably caused bydifferent growth patterns; the increase of systolic thickness (asan indirect measure of increase in contractile forces) follows anincrease in lean body mass (as a representative of tissues withpronounced oxygen demand) far more closely than the increase inother cardiovascular structures does. As opposite from the growthpattern of structures that built cardiovascular diastolic shape,growth pattern of left ventricular systolic thickness probablyreflects the effects of physiological compensatory mechnisms ongenetically determined growth process.

    Summary: The puberal changes in the thickness ration of left vs. rightheart ventricular wall were investigated Echocardiographyspirometric and anthropometric data on 240 healthy children ofboth sexes, collected during a 4-year mixed-longitudinal study,initiated at the age of 11-12 years, were analyzed.Growth intensity of measured parameters was tested by the pairedsamples t-test of differences. The left ventricular posteriorwall thickened significantly (15%, t=7.96; p<0.001), whilethickness of the right ventricular anterior wall did not changeduring 4-pubertal years (t=0). Different thickening intensitiesof ventricular walls (t=32.6;p<0.001) increased left vs. rightventricular wall thickness ratio from 1.64: 1 to 1.83: 1. Lack ofthickening of the right ventricular wall during puberty (and aslower growth rate of the right ventricle as related to the left)is an intriguing fact, because supplying area of the rightventricle (lung) increases during puberty even more than that ofthe left ventricle (body)(t=28.27;p<0.001), as it was concludedindirectly from 65% forced vital capacity and 25% body surfacearea increase. So, further analyses of heart shape and functions (i.e. of vascular resistance) have to be done for thedescription of pubertal heart growth pattern. (171)

    Summary: Disproportion in growth of different body systems is a wellknown, but often unexplained phenomenon. The purpose of the studywas to analyze growth during puberty, in terms of differentgrowth rate of the respiratory system and that of the body.Changes in forced vital capacity (FVC), in body surface area, andin lean body mass were investigated. Longitudinal sudy of 205healthy children of both sexes started in children aged 11.5years and finished when they reached the age of 14.5. Duringpuberty, FVC increased significatly faster then body surfacearea, even than lean body mass did. During the deceleration ofthe growth of body surface area and that of lean body mass, FVCcontinued to increase with the unchanged rate. Latency in lunggrowth related to body growth, as a segment of mosaicalpubertal growth, indicates the importance of investigations ofadaptation by physiological, homeostatic mechanisms and onenvironmental influences on the modification of geneticallydetermined human growth.

    Summary: Dermatoglyphs of the digito-palmar complex are formed during themorpho and embriogenesis until the 21 st. week of intrauterinelife, so that they can indirectly show the conditions of growthand development at this stage. During that pepriod the limbs arealso in development and initial processes leading later tochanges known as hip luxation also occur. Knowing thatdermatoglyphs are polygenetically determined, and supposing thathip luxation disorder is also genetically influenced, the aim ofthis paper was to analyze the influence of this disorder ondermatoglyphic development, and if there is a possibility ofdiscriminating between patients and healthy persons usingdermatoglyphic analyses. The sample of 76 males and 67 femaleswith hip luxation and 200 males and 200 females ofphenotypically healthy control groups were analyzed by thequantitative dermatoglyphic traits. The results indicate apossibility of discrimination between groups in more than72.46% cases in males, and 70.79% cases in females, clearly leadsto the conclusion that by the analysis of digito-palmardermatoglyphics the group of patients with hip luxation can bediscriminated from the group of healthy persons. The resultsobtained clearly point to the possibility of separating groupswith disorders of known and unknown genetical origin and controlgroups using dermatoglyphic analyses. (171)

    Summary: The dermatoglyphs of the digito-palmar complex in the Republic ofCroatia have been studied to the present in the populations ofsix islands (Silba, Olib, Pag, Brač, Hvar and Korčula), twopeninsulas (Istra, Pelješac) and three mainland areas (Sinj, Ilokand the city of Zagreb). This paper presents the results ofdiscriminate analysis of 16 quantitative dermatoglyphic traitsfor the examined populations. Statistically significant resultsare found for the first three canonical discriminate functions,and they explain 82.31% of the total variance. The first twodiscriminate functions explain 74.45% of the total variance andwe used them for the graphic presentation of the results. Thereare three different clusters between various groups ofpopulations. With the exception of the females from Pelješacpeninsula and the mainland area of Ilok, males and females fromthe same populations do not differ very much. The Istrianpopulation, both males and females, differ from all others. Theisland populations form the second cluster while the third oneis formed by the mainland populations. This indicates theexistance of some clearly distiguishable differences inquantitative dermatoglyphic traits among these three populationgroups in Croatia. It is possible to explain these differences asa result of different migrations during history, the intensity ofreproductive isolation and different selective pressures whichhave affected long-term adaptation processes of theseinvestigated populations.

    Summary: Autism is a severely debilitating psychiatric disorder of unknownetiology. In this paper we analyzed 120 autistic children (92boys and 28 girls) from the Autistic Center in Zagreb andcompared with their relatives (mothers, fathers, healthy sistersand healthy brothers). Quantitative dermatoglyphic traits wereanalyzed with the aim to recognize possibilities of geneticinfluence in the autistic disease. TRC is decreased in autisticboys and girls and their mothers and sisters too, but not infathers and brothers. Correlation is stronger between autisticboys and their mothers and fathers than between mothers andfathers and autistic girls. The discriminate analysis shows thehigher discrimination (existing differences) between autisticboys and their healthy brothers and sisters, than that betweenboys and their mothers and fathers. In autistic girls alldifferences were less expressed. Although diagnosis for autisticboys and girls is same, expression of dermatoglyphic traits isdifferent, and it can be proof for sex linked genetictransmissions. (171)

    Summary: Dermatoglyphs of the digito-palmar complex are used to assess thebiological structure of 15 village populations from the island ofBrač, Croatia. Eighteen quantitative variables ware used. Theseinvestigations were carried out with the goals of determining theprinciples of inheritance of dermatoglyphic properties and alsothe basic structure of individual populations, as well asinterpreting the causes of differences between them. We foundgreat differences in villages 4 and 15 for males. Differencesfound in the quantitative dermatoglyphic traits for males, andsomewhat greater for females suggest that the differencesexisting in the ancestral population are still reflected indigito-palmar properties.

    Summary: The estimation of the population structure of the EasternAdriatic (Croatia) has been carried out so far using differentmeasures of biological, genetic and linguistic distances. Theanalyses have shown that correlations between distance matricesrange from .0004 (between linguistic distances and those obtainedfrom data on morphometric metacarpal dimension) to .87 (betweenbiological distances estimated from quantitative head dimensionsin males and females). The only statistically significantcorrelation of the genetic distance matrix (based on erythrocyteantigenes) with the other matrices was that found with the matrixof biological distances based on morphometric dimensions ofmetacarpal skeleton (analyzed by Barnett-Nordin method; p <.001,r=.37). Consequently, the morphometric heterogeneity betweenparticular rural and insular/peninsular populations of theEastern Adriatic was assessed. In addition discriminant analyseswas carried out. It has shown the possibility of significantclassification at the village, regional and island/penninsulalevels with high percentages of correct classification.The paperdiscusses some doubts and dilemmas as well as potentialaplicability of the analysis of morphometric metacarpal skeletonin the assessment of population structure.

    Summary: Physiological variation in the population of the island of Pag(Eastern Adriatic, Croatia) was investigated by using data onlung volumes and flows (FVC, FEV1, PEF, MEF25%, MEF50%, MEF75%)and arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic). A total of804 inhabitants of nine villages were examined (351 male and 453females) aged between 19 and 79 years. Physiological patterns arerelated to the past and present migrational patterns, geographicdistances, and current linguistic fetaures. Multivariate analysesreveal that the primary determinant of physiological variation ofthe current island population is its west-east-north division,for the extent of physiological variation within the threeregions is small in comparison with the regional differnces. Theestablished heterogeneity says much for the strengh of isolatingfactors on the ecologically uniform island that experienceddifferential migration through out history. Significantphysiology-geography-linguistic matrix correlations lead to thereasonable hypothesis on genetic differences underlying currentphysiological variation in the island population. The results ofthe study prove that cardio-respiratory traits can be goodindicators of isolation consequences among populations,confirming their utility for elucidating population structure.

    Summary: This study is a part of multidisciplinary anthropologicalpopulation investigations of isolated insular populations of theEastern Adriatic, Croatia. It was conducted in 1987 on a sampleof 1496 adult examinees from the island of Brač. Dental statusdata were obtained by means of standard stomatologicalinstrumentary and the "Heliomat" apparatus which was used as adiagnostic aid. The intensity of changes was determined byKlein-Palmer's DMF index. Biochemical serum analyses i.e. theanalyses connected to changes of skeleton system metabolism wereconducted in order to establish the concentration of overallcalcium (Ca), anorganic phosphates (aP), magnesium (Mg) andalkalic phosphatase activity (AF). The results were interpretedwith respect to several possible explanations of factorsprimarily affecting the loss of teeth. Furthermore, we consideredthe problems connected to osteoporosis of skeleton system as aprocess which affects the alveolar part of jaws with ageincrease, causing significant increase in resorption ofsupporting bone lamina around teeth and possible consequences indental status of the investigated insular population.

    Summary: Anthropogenetic variations of current populations inhabiting theEastern Adriatic ilsands of Brač, Hvar, Korčula and the Pelješacpeninsula (Midle Dalmatia, Croatia) were analysed using eight (8)monogenetically determined erythrocyte antigens and four (4)isoenzymes obtained from the blood samples of 3186 inhabitantsfrom 35 villages (Brač-12 villages, Hvar-8 villages, Korčula-8villages and Pelješac-7 villages). It is especially important toexamine the analyses of monogenetic characteristics which, in thestudy of population structure, have many advantages overpolygeneticaly determined characteristics, and their ability toprovide "quick answers" to selective pressures which a populationis influenced by, particularly referring to so-colled "closeevolutionary processes". The results show that geneticdifferences of the insular and peninsular populations are causedby various ethno-historical, socio-cultural, demographic andmigrational characteristics which have been changing during thepopulation's biological and socio-cultural evolution.

    Summary: The purposes of this paper are to present some results ofmultidisciplinary anthropological investigations devoted to thestudy of population structure of rural populations conducted onthe selected islands of the Eastern Adriatic (Croatia).Particular attention is paid to ethno-historical data whichprovide information on past and contemporary marital migrations.The analysis of the coefficient of isonymy is used to estimateendogamy/exogamy and marital structure. Both stable (ecological)and changeable conditions (demographic and economic) affectingthe population structure of these islands are discussed. Theresults show that the village populations of these islands haveremained essentially isolated from each other and from themainland for several centuries. Historical and sociocultural dataindicate that systematic population pressure mostly came from thecoastal area of the Balkan peninsula. Temporal trends in coefficient of isonymy and the observeddifferences in mating structure between subpopulations are due tothe size of the local breeding population with deviations beingexplained in terms of emigration and/or immigration, partly byhistoric and socio-economic reasons and cultural mate choicesystem and behaviour.

    Summary: The global ecological, migrational, demographic, social, economicand other changes and their effects on regional developments atthe population level, requires review of current research topicsand international cooperation and coordination of research goalsand their potential application in resolving many of thepractical problems. They affect also research carried out bymedical anthropologists, psychologists, psychiatrists andepidemiologists, as well as specialists in human biology andgenetics. Medical anthropology is increasinghly characterized byinterdisciplinary interaction, with recent efforts to linkmicrodomains and macrodomains of analysis, to be able to examineindividual experiences in the contexts of both local communitiesand global political and economic dynamics, presented throughdifferent models of studies and analyses. In view of expansion ofour abilities in cross-disciplinary collaboration to contributeto global efforts to eradicate disease and promote health, nomenas of communication is more efficient and productive as aphysical gathering of scientists which provides healthy exchangeof information of different subdisciplines involved in theresearch topics pertinent to medical anthropology. It must beused also as an opportunity to determine a suitable investigativemodel for the assessment of health and the effects ofenvironmental changes through comparative studies on theinteraction between environmental changes and health, whichshould be applied to different populations of the world,particularly nowadays in Croatia.

    Summary: The FVC and FEV1 were measured in 3461 healthy nonsmoking boysand girls aged 13 to 10 years using a dry Pulmonar (Jones)Spirometer. Multiple regression equations of various forms weregenerated to predict these lung function parameters from age(decimal) and stature. Simple rectilinear equations provedsatisfactory. The lower limits of 'normality' were defined asthe lower 95th percentiles. The developed equations were comparedto the linear equations in the literature that cover the agerange analyzed in this study. They have shown to be of limiteduse for the present sample which supports the development of thepopulation specific spirometric standards.

    Summary: The aim of this study on lung development is to compare theindividuals by their pattern of growth according to sex.Estimation of variation in growth of lung functions in cohorts of212 healthy children, aged of 11.5 were followed up for 3 years,until the age 14.5 years. The analysis included forced vitalcapacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),Tiffeneau index (FEV1/FVC), standing height and body surfacearea. During pubertal growth, measured in this study, differencesbetween girls and boys were observed particularly in pulmonaryfunction throughout the entire observation period. Sex dimorphismincreasing with age in both morphological and physiologicalvariables was observed in the percent of the 'grouped' casescorrectly classified by sex in the first measured year (65.09%pulmonary function; 50.00% for morphology), and in the finalyear, at the age of 14.5 (77.23% pulmonary function; 66.17% formorphology).

    Summary: Located in the Northen part of the Zadar archipelago, Olib andSilba are two small islands with only one village on each ofthem. The origins of the inhabitants have been traced back to the15th and 16th centuries, when they arrived from the inlandregions of the Balkan peninsula to escape the Turkish invasions. As part of a project of multidisciplinary investigations onmorphological, physiological, genetic and socio-culturalvariables, 101 individuals in Silba and 98 in Olib wererandomly'chosen and blood sampled. In order to define the geneticvariability of these populations, numerous blood markers weretyped: red cell markers (ABO, Rhesus Kell), immunoglobulins Gm,red cell enzymes (G6PD, 6PGD, ADA, GPT, PGM1, GLO,...), serumenzymes (alphal-antitrypsin, transferrin, peptides), hemoglobin;fewer individuals (38 from Olib and 73 from Silba) were typed forHLA-A, B

    Summary: Physiological (cardio-respiratory) variation is examined among34 village populations on the islands Brač, Hvar, Korčula and thePelješac peninsula. The area covers a range of cca 100 km, andcan be regarded as ecologically quite homogeneous. Lungfunctions (FVC and FEV1) and blood pressure (systolic anddiastolic) were analysed for 1423 male and 1698 female adultsubjects. This random sample was examined within the holisticanthropological research of rural populations in Croatia,Yugoslavia (a common research project between IMROH, Zagreb andSmithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.). The maincharacteristic of physiological variation in the current regionalpopulation is the distinction between the four island/peninsularpopulations. The strong determinant of variation is also thewest-east division within the island populations which has alsobeen established in previous separate island analyses. The extentof variation on the level of village populations is small incomparison with the west-east and island differences. Thisdivision corresponds with recorded history of the settlement andmovement of the population onto and across the islands. While thevillages in the western parts of the islands are inhabited mainlyby descendants from the first Slavic immigrants onto the islandsduring the 6th to 8th centuries, the people living in the easternparts stem primarily from the later migration waves (16th to 18th centuries) who gradually mixed with prior settlers. In view ofthe congruence between physiological variation and migrationhistory a reasonable hypothesis for the physiological variationis that it reflects the genetic differences that persist todayamong populations living in the same environment, enabling us toelucidate some aspects of the regional population structure.

    Summary: The distribution of body fat, or fat patterning, has become animportant factor for cardiovascular disease in epidemiologicalstudies of adult populations. It has been shown that morecentralized distrubution of fat increases the risk of certaindiseases, such as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus andcardiovascular disease. The objective of this investigation wasto document the level of fatness and fat distribution in a largesample of healthy adults (aged 20-60) and to relate it to theircardiovascular fitness. Data were collected according to the IBPprotocols from a health and lifestyle questionnaire,anthropometric measures and submaximal bicycle stress test.Anthropometric measures were used to calculate simple indices ofbody fat (BMI and sum of skinfolds) and skinfold ratios of bodyfat distribution (index of centralized fat patterning andtrunk/extremity index). Maximum oxygen intake was used as anindex of cardiovascular fitness. The sample tends to lead avigorous daily life due to its agricultural occupation, has ahomogeneous socioeconomic status and is representative forEastern Adriatic island population studied within themultidisciplinary anthropological research of rural populationsin Yugoslavia (a common research project between IMROH, Zagreband Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.). The overallresults of this study conducted in a healthy population suggestthat increased amount of body fat and more centralized fatpatterning are associated with lower cardiovascular fitness.

    Summary: Malecot's isolation by distance model was used to estimate thepopulation structure in the area of the Eastern Adriatic (theislands of Brač, Hvar and Korčula and Pelješac peninsula).Biological distances were estimated using Mahalanobis' D2 foranthropometric, physiological, morphometric and dermatoglyphictraits; linguistic distances were estimated using Hemming'ssimilarity measure; estimates of kinship coefficients were basedon migrational data. For migrational kinship the parameter b wasestimated by the linear regression of the logarithm of kinshipand geographical distance, while for biological and linguisticdistances a non-linear regression was used. The fit of the modelwas tested by the analysis of variance around the regression. The values of parameter b from significant regressions sorted inascending order show different ranges of values in theinvestigated area. The lowest values are found on the island ofKorčula (0.039) and the highest on the island of Hvar (0.281) andPelješac peninsula (0.330). Within each island there aredifferences to values of parameter b estimated from differentbiological and socio-cultural traits. The results are intriguingand point out the need for the inclusion of informationconcerning ethno-historical processes in population structurestudies, as it is clear that even in this relatively small regionof the Eastern Adriatic (no more than 150 sq.km) it is impossibleto deduce generalized conclusions and there is always a range ofnew explicative hypotheses to be made based on ectremelyimportant details from local ethnohistory.

    Summary: Serogenetic data involving 21 genetic systems were collected from12 villages on the island of Brač (Yugoslavia) in 1987. Maximumsample size was 709 individuals. The UPGMA dendrogram based onthe genetic distances was readily interpetable within theconrexis of village settlement history, social relationships, andsample size considerations. The gene diversity value (H = 0.3029* 0.0119) was both quite high and extremely similar to theaverage heterozygosity value on the neighboring Pelješacpeninsula. Quadratic assignment procedures were used toinvestigate geneticx*linguistic*geographic correspondences.Unlike the Pelješac peninsula where the distance marixcorrelations betwen genetics and linguistics, genetics andgeography, and liguistics and geography were all positive andhighly statistically significant, on Brač only thelinuistics-geography correlation achieved statisticalsignificance. Reasons for these differences are sought in thedifferent migrational characteristics of these two populationsystems, in the complex interaction betwen evolutionary forcespromoting population differentiation (genetic drift) andhomogeneity ( gene flow), and in konwn patterns of socioculturalinteraction that might have skewed the genetic-geographicassociations on Brač.

    Summary: To determine sexual difference in pubertal growth rate of heart, changes in left ventricle mass, its supplying area (body surface) and afterload (diastolic blood pressure) were compared in 67 healthy girls and 84 healthy boys. Longitudinal study begann at the children's age of 11.5 years and, after annual measurements, finished at the age of 14.5. During the 3 pubertal years, echocardiographically determined left ventricle mass increased for 29.1% in girls and for 55.6% in boys (p<0.01), body surface area increased for 22.2% in girls and for 29.6% in boys (p<0.01), and diastolic blood pressure increased for 4.2% in girls and for 8.3% in boys (p<0.01). Higher rate of supplying area growth and, even more, of afterload increase, in boys, probable account for the significant sexual difference in the growth rate of heart.

    Summary: To determine the cause for previously reported disproportional growth of heart walls diastolic and systolic thickness in pubertal boys, rates of increase in these echocardiographic variables were compared with that of body surface area, diastolic blood pressure and maximum workload (Bruce protocol). Annual longitudinal measurements performed in 84 healthy boys began at the age of 11.5, and finished at the age of 14.5 years. Values of nonlinear variables were reduced to linear dimension. Diastolic thickness of interventricular septum increases for 14.4% an systolic for 34.4% (p<0.001), while these for left ventricular posterior wall increases for 16.0% (diastolic) and 37.9% (systolic) (p<0.001). At the same time, body surface area (square root) increases for 13.8%, diastolic blood pressure for 8.3% and maximum workload (cube root) for 20.1%. It seems that diastolic thickness grows proportionally with morphologic parameters of body size (body surface area), while systolic thickness grows in keeping with increase of functional variables (diastolic blood pressure and maximum workload in addition).

    Summary: Autism is a physical disorder of the early childhood, influencing all verbal and nonverbal communication, expressed by bizarre manners with stereotyped movements. Although the etiology of autistic disorder is unknown, more authors consider that multiple causes may be responsible. An interaction of inherited and ecological factors is also possible. The aim of this study was to examine the role of genetical component in the etiology of autistic disorder. In this paper the results of quantitative and qualitative dermatoglyphic analyzes of autistic children (92 boys and 32 girls) their parents (92 mothers and 72 fathers), healthy brohers (32) and sisters (28) and healthy comparative groups of males (200) and females (200) are presented. The autistic boys have significantly lower TRC (Total Ridge Count) values than healthy controls, but they don't differ from their fathers and healthy brothers. The autistic girls do not differ from comparative groups. Mothers of autistic children were statistically most different from healthy controls for TRC variable. Qualitative dermatoglyphic traits in autistic boys and girls differ from those of their fathers and brothers. Boys have more ulnar loops, while girls have more whorls and arches. The fathers of autistic boys have more whorls and arches, and mothers have more arches, than healthy controls. The Hiernaux g biological distance calculated on quantitative and qualitative dermatoglyphic traits shows that mothers are more close to the autistic boys, than to sisters and to austistic girls, and at least to healthy fathers and brothers. Obtained results indicate the importance of genetic component in the etiology of autistic disorder, what diminish by the sex differences in dermatoglyphic traits. The high correlation is found between autistic boys and their mothers.

    Summary: Epidemiological researches are showing the increase of malignant lung tumors morbidity in this centruy, but the present reports can't explain the etiology of this disease. This resarch arose from the knowledge that the dermatoglyphs develop at the same time and from the same tissue as a part of the respiratory sistem. Therefor we conducted an analysis of the quantitative characteristics of the digito-palmar complex in 301 patients with the lung carcinoma, two phenotypically healthy populations (400 from Zagreb and 1323 from the island of Brač), and 63 patients with the extrinsic asthma. We have analyzed 18 quantitative characteristics of dermatoglyphs on fingers (FRC 1-5) and palms (a-b, b-c and c-d ridge count, and atd angle) of both hands. The discriminatory analysis of quantitative dermatoglyphic traits and the graphical presentation clearly separate the group of healthy males and females from the town of Zagreb on the positive side of x axis, the group of healthy males and females from the island of Brač close to the y acis, and the control group of asthmatic patients (males nad females) on the negative side of x axis near the all different lung carcinoma groups. Palmar dermatoglyphs are better discriminators between groups of patients with carcinoma and healthy controls, but in groups of patients with asthma discriminators are digital and palmar. Palmar dermatoglyphs are better discriminators between the phenotypically healthy populations and patients with lung carcinoma which can indicate a possible exogenous influence during early embriogenesis. Although the dermatoglyphs are polygenic determined traits, and palmar dermatoglyphs are more influenced by exogenous factors, the established biological differences among patients and comparative groups indicate a possibility of a genetic predisposition for this disease.

    Summary: Epidemiological research is showing the increase of morbidity of malignant lung tumors in this century but the present reports can't truly explain the etiology of this disease. Therefore we can suppose influence of the endogenic factors without significant etiological characteristics. We conducted an analysis of the dermatoglyphics of the digitopalmar complex in 551 patients with the lung carcinoma, tow phenotypically healthy populations (400 from Zagreb, 1323 from the island of Brač) and 63 patients with the extrinsic asthma. We analysed 18 quantitative traits on fingers and palms and the atd angle. The discriminatory analysis showed that among male patients 79.87% were correctly classified with phenotypically healthy population of Zagreb, 73.10% with phenotypically healthy population of Brač and 77.73% with patients suffering from asthma. Among the female patients 79.70% were correctly classified witrh phenotypically healthz population of Brač and 76.97% with patients suffering from asthma. The primer discriminator in male and females suffering from lung carcinoma and for both phenotypically healthy population are palmar dermatoglyphs, while for asthma are digital in males and digital as well as palmar in females. Palmar dermatoglyphs are better discriminators between the phenotypically healthy populations and patients with lung carcinoma which indicate a possible egzogenic influence during embriogenesis.

    Summary: The population structure is permanent in relation to the individuals composing it, for the individual who is born into the popualtion, which exists before his arrival and continues to exist after his death. Anthropological population studies taking into consideration different population traits (biological, environmental and those culturally transmitted) clarify a number of questions related to still insufficiently known mechanisms by which evolutionary forces shape contemporary human groups. It has been proved and today accepted that natural selection, gene flow, drift (including the founder effect) and mutations are fundamental in the evolutionary formation of every living species. However, different questions still remain open as to their real effects and expressiveness of phenotypic (e. g. morphological, physiological, psychological, genetic, cultural etc.) plasticity at the population level, formed by human (micro)evolutionary processes. Reproductive isolation is the first step toward (micro)differentiation of subpopulations, but it is necessary to point out that degrees of biological and cultural (micro)differentiation are not identical concerning direction and intensity, in all human attributes. This study presents an analysis of the results from the studies of the population structure of contemporary European rural communities in Croatia. These rural populations are suitable for theoretical analysis of (micro)evolution, because of their specific ethnohistory, the knowing migration that have occurred, their continuing mutual isolation, as well as the documented effects of various political, social and economic events on their biological and sociocultural formation.

    Summary: The paper examines the effects of recent internal and external migration on the phenotypic differentiation within subdivided populations of two islands of Korčula and Brač (Dalmatia, Croatia). Data on anthropometric (body) and physiological (cardiorespiratory) measurements from both sexes were used. The levels of phenotypic differentiation among village populations were estimated by means of the minimum FST. The results suggest that migration is non random on both islands and that it produces phenotypic differentiation in excess of that expected from random migration.

    Summary: Familiy aggregation of cardio-respiratory traits in the population of Middle Dalmatia islands has been investigated on a random sample of adults. The similarity between first-degree relatives has been quantified by calculating Pearsons "product-moment" coefficient of correlation.The obtained results are considered with the objective of testing for presence and for the structure of familial aggregation and discussed with respect to the possible influence of genetic and ecological factors on their formation. The highest correlation values within a family have been found for resting pulse rate, and maximum oxygen uptake values. Exceptionally high correlations for lung function parameters among brothers and higher father-offspring correlations for those traits compared with other physiological traits, speak in favor of strong common family environmental influence on lung function traits, acting especially among male family members. The pattern of family correlations for systolic blood pressure resulting in a lesser resemblance in males and in intergenerational pairs, suggests either different environmental influence, or different sensibility - higher in males - to those influence. In contrast, the pattern of family correlations found for diastolic blood pressure, suggests that influence - whether they are primarily genetic or environmental - act on all family members with the same degree.

    Summary: Data on migration analysis is collected from church registers and registry offices for the time period from 1857 to 1992 is divided into four time cohorts based on the important economic and political events which affected that region. Well established methods for migration analysis are used: parent-offspring analysis applying Wright's island model and stochastic migration matrix model and marital migration analysis. Two aspects of population structure are evaluated: estimation of the isolation of the subpopulation and of the island as a whole, and the degree of kinship within and among the subpopulation. Comparison of the results obtained by migration analysis, kinship analysis, geographical distances, economical, political and demographic data points to similarities and/or....

    Summary: Using a well established methodology of temporal migration analysis conducted on the island of Brač, we investigated the parental and ancestral origin of proposed populations of the Eastern Adriatic and their migrational characteristics. On every island separately - the island of Hvar, Korčula and the peninsula of Pelješac - data on parents and ancestral birth places and years of birth were assigned to four cohorts, chosen according to four time periods relevant for the whole region. Through the analysis of migration patterns and intensities, migrational kinship and the level of reproductive isolation, we evaluated the (micro)differentiation processes on each of the islands and peninsula. On the basis of these results we compared and defined the making of contemporary population structures, through migrational movements and the (non)mobility of inhabitants in the last 150 years. All results clearly confirm our presumption on the existence of various forms of (micro)evolutionary trends for each island and the peninsula, which are expressed through the migration of alleles on each of the islands and peninsula. Although similarities can be observed in migrational movements over the region in the sense of high endogamies and small values of within-island and off-island migrations, the differences are evident in intensities and well developed patterns of migrational movements that are unique for each island and the peninsula. This konwledge enables us to evaluate biological differences among populations between islands and the peninsula on a new level. Considering the process of heterogenization or homogenization of subpopulations, the island of Hvar is heading towards closing up, while the island of Korčula is on the begining of changes. This is confirmed by a smaller number of generations needed to reach a genetic equilibrium, and therefore for the islands begining changes of opening up. The peninsula of Pelješac and island of Brač are similar and their K values confirm their opening up and greater homogenization of subpopulations. Obtained, results clearly show that through this more expanded approach to the problem of migration in researched area we are able to evaluate patterns and intensities of migration that have changed considerably through the last hundered years. Therefore, migration trends have their complex dynamics that need to be acknowledged for a more detailed comparation of migration processes in the area of Eastern Adriatic.

    Summary: The work presents the results of the following analyses: - dental status analysis (number of healthy teeth CO; number ofextracted teeth M(E), number of decayed teeth D(K); number offilled teeth F(P), estimated also by DMF(KEP) index, - bone status estimated by Barnett-Nordin and Garn index, - analysis of morphometric dimensions (bone length - L, medularycanal width - M, transversal bone width - T) of metacarpal bones(second, third and fourth) of left and right hand, - anthropometric analysis of longitudinal and transversal headdimensions and body height and wieght, - analysis of values in calcium serum, alcalic phosphatase,magnesium and anorganic phosphates. The goal of the thesis is to establish if there is anyrelationship between dental status and bone tissue status withthe aforementioned anthropometric and biochemical variables,and/or with age. Total sample consisted of 522 males and 683females, aged 19-90 years. On data obtained from the sample,various statistical analyses were carried out (correlation,regression and factor analysis). The results showed obviouschanges with age for particular dental status variables anddental status estimated by DMF (KEP) index. Changes were alsonoticed in medulary canal dimensions of the metacarpal bones andBarnett-Nordin and Garn index as an indicator of bone tissuestatus in relation to age increase. Particular anthropometrichead dimensions were also found to change with age, but absenceof these changes was recorded in biochemical variable indicators.The analysis of intercorrelations has shown that dental statusand bone status are not mutually correlated. Furthermore, theyare not even correlated with anthropometric head dimension or theanalyzed biochemical variables. Through the evaluation andverification of that finding in the latent space, the behavior ofparticular variables both in males and females was found to becompletely congruent. Several factors were extracted clearlypointing out the separation of dimensions of metacarpal bones(both among themselves and in relation to other analyzedvariables). The changes of these dimensions are correlated withage, but not with the rest of the variables. Dental statusvariables are located on particular factors and represent aspecial entity of traits, also correlated to the increase of age.Anthropometric head variables are clearly separated ontransversal and longitudinal dimensions (eco-stable and valid forthe estimation of population characteristics in microevolutionstudies). Biochemical variables act, however, differently inmales and females and are found on different factors. The conducted analyses have shown that during the aging processof a range of changes take, place in the bone structures. Thereare different functional parts in the human skeletal system - thedental part is separated from the skeletal one (estimated throughthe analysis of metacarpal skeleton) - and they are notsignificantly correlated with the values of calcium serum,magnesium, alcalic phosphatase and anorganic phosphates.Anthropometric head variables are not correlated to dental statusand bone status because they are also a part of relativelyindependent functional entirety of human organism. This study leads to several conclusions: various changes occur inthe human organism during its aging process; these changes oftendiffer in males and females; there is a significant correlationin the analysed sample females of their dental status with thenumber of births; the biochemical variables cannot be anindicator of various changes occuring in bone and dental statusduring human lifetime.

    Summary: On the basis of finding of different acceleration phases timing during pubertal grow, it is possible to conclude that heart, lung and body structures and functions grow have different dynamic. Pubertal acceleration of body growth slightly precede to the left ventricle growth acceleration. Acceleration of right ventricle growth precede to the lung growth acceleration, which lag behind body growth acceleration. Functional working capaciy increases with a time latency related to heart, lung and body growth. Beside these facts, significant differences in growth dynamics of certain heart structural and functional variables, as well as intra- and inter individual differences of growth rate have to be on mind while estimating heart pubertal growth.

    Summary: Through the longitudinal study, in the space of morphological and psychiological anthropometry, we analyzed the growth and development of 86 boys and 75 girls in the age of 11.5 to 14.5 years. The sample consists of clinically healthy schoolers of the primary school "Ante Kovačić" in Zagreb. The children were measured every year, in May, in the time period of three years - 19 body measures, 3 head measures and 4 of the respiratory system. On the basis of these measures in the initial state (age of 11.5 years), through the hierarchical claster analysis we formed three morphological-respiratory groups, both for boys and girls. The division on groups was formed with the help of two discriminatory functions which were based on the skeletal and non-skeletal tissue. According to this division the first group, in both sexes, was characterized with a longitudinal dimensionality accompanied with a weak presence of subsutaneous fat tissue, long and thin extremities. The second group is characterized with the presence of a considerable amount of subcutaneous fat tissue, wide joints, and as a consequence of this with big body circumferences and greater hight. In comparisom to these two groups, the third group is characterized with smaller measures, of morphological as well as of physiological anthropometry, thus giving a impression of fragility present in both boys and girls. In the observed age of 11.5 to 14.5 years we found a frequent "moving" from group to group, which was more marked in boys from the second to first group, and in girls from the first to second group. This is logical considering the fact that a number of authors forund boys of this age group to be going through a loss of subcutaneous fat tissue, while in girls the reverse, an enlargment. In the manifest space through the multivariate analysis of variance, in both sexeas, we found a statistically significant difference between groups (without measurment efects),between every separate measuring (without a efect of the group), as well as between groups in every separate measuring. Through the factorial analysis according to the model of components, with the same examines, we confirmed foru condensed of measures which represent: the factor of the growth and development of the skeleton, the factor of the body volumen, the factor of the respiratory system and the factor of the head growth. Although, in both cases, of boys and girls the latent dimensions define identical characteristics, there is a qualitative difference of their characteristics, which is a consequence of the different strength of projection of morphological and respiratory variables upon the latent dimension they define. The testing of differences in the significance of diffrence in the structure of the latent dimension, concerning the efects of groups, measures, and groups in the period of measuring (Pillais, Hotellings and i Wilks tests) for all four latent dimensions gave the following results: a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) was present considering the groups (without the effects of measuring), as well as between groups including the effects of measurings, while the effects of measurings were not statistically significantly present in the observed latent dimensions ( without the effects of belonging to group).

    Title: Neurosis and the formation of sex identity in adolescence
    Faculty: Medicinski fakultet Sveučilište u Zagrebu
    Author: RUDAN VLASTA
    Language: hrvatski

    Summary: This study analysed the impact of neurosis on formation and acceptance of the sexual identity in adolescence. The analysed sample was formed by eigh male adolescent, aged 16-20, and eight female adoelescents, aged 17-21. The method that was applied in this investigation was the individual psychoanalytical therapy, that I habve been conducting during the work with my patients in the duration of 1.5-4 years, with frequency od 2-3 sessions a week. The hypothesis of this research was that in the adolescence neurosis can be clinically determined. The assessment of each patient was carried through the certain points of A. Freud (1962) diagnostic profile, which was especially adapted for adolescents by M. Laufer (1965). The specific subjects of the assessments were: drive development, including libido with regarding self and object (cathexsis of the self and object), and aggression; ego; superego and the ego ideal; fixations and regression (the genetic assessment); and outer and inner conflict (dynamic and structural assessment). The presented method of assessment enabled me to conclude that it is possible to establish the diagnosis of the neurosis in the adolescence, although it neither reveals the clear organisation, nor the firm structure, which are the well-established characteristics of the adult neurosis, and the formation of which is associated with the process of the consolidation of the personality in late adolescence. Furthermore, there is an acitve presence of some phase-specific developmental conflichts which are created or reactivated by the process of the adolescence itself. Still, during the end of the mid-adolescence and throughout the whole late adolescence, it was possible to follow the defensive regressive processes from the level of the oedipus complex along with the activation of the other defensive mechanisms originating from the aforementioned regressive levels. Those defensive mechanisms were still directed against the wiches of the oedipus complex, but oven more so against the wishes originating from the regressive proedipal/pregenital levels, where the fixation points were found to be the most delineated. The wishes and the defensive mechanisms directed against them, along with the forces of the superego, created a compromise formations-neurotic symptoms which did not have short-term, passing or reversible character that could be expected because of regressive and progressive processes of the adolescence. In other words, I was able to ascertain that the reached level of psychosexual development of the adolescents with neurosis is predominantly oedipal, yet that the sexuality is becoming the marks of the phases in which the strongest fixations were present. The adolescence did not provide the "second chance" (A. Freud, 1962) to these patients, during which the progressive development would induce the repair of the previous inadequate solutions of the developmental and neurotic conflicts. In these patients, the reactitivating of the oedipus complex in the adolescence and the regressive processes in the adolescence itself, encouraged by some external evens, represented the provocative and propelling forces that seriously endangered their ego. In order to preserve the ego from further disintegration, the aforementioned neurotical mechanisms would be activated. These mechanisms then lead to a creation of the compromise formations. It was also shown that the passage of these adolescents through the oedipal phases was not even successfully conducted in the childhood. From the perspective of the parricide, guilt and responsibility, the repression of the oedipus complex itself represented the avoidance of the parent "murdering" as a part of the process of the struggle for independence. That enabled the patients to preserve the infantile libidinal dependent relationships with their parents. Through the avoidance of the parricide, neither did certain aspects of the oedipal relations become transformed in ego-superego relations (internalisation, although the adolescence itself leads to a temporary weakening of the superego-structure), nor were other aspects, throughout the relations with external objects, reconstructed enough in order to loose the incestuous character and create the bases for the new ways of the object choice. Thus, these adolescents were, through the avoidance of the generation conflict, widening the generation gap, what resulted in the weakening and delaying of the separation and restructuralization (second individuations, Blos, 1979) which is normally taking place in the adolescence. Neurosis in the adolescence has had the greatest influence on the final identification with the self sexual role, as well as on the final orientation towards the sexual partner, while it did not influence the very core of the gender identity. The therapies revealed that the suffering from the symptoms and/or certain kind of behaviour was the strongest motivation force for the entrance and participation in the psychoanalytical therapy. The transference had its specific characteristics, while the adolescent patients were involved, and the consolidation process of the late adolescence, which was developing paralelly, gave to their neuroses in the adolescence more and more the characteristics of the true neurosis or adult neurosis, so that I have reached the conclusion that there is a justification to call the neurosis in the adolescence, due to its specifics, an adolescent neurosis. The patients in which the therapeutical process was successfully developing succeeded in resolving a great part of their infantile neurosis, mostly in the late adolescence or, more frequently, eartly adulthood, and in entering a successful for the desireed occupation. Still, it is very difficult, or even imopossible, to clearly estimate the share of the progressive developmental process itself in the occurrence of those events.

    Summary: In this work there has been carried out an analysis of the familyresemblance in biometric traits of the population of the islandsof Brač, Hvar and Korčula as well as the peninsula of Pelješac.The analysis encompasses 52 morphological properties of head nadbody, 18 physiological parameters, 24 quantitative dermatoglyphicproperties of the digito-palmar complex, 18 dimensions ofmetacarpal bones and 10 biochemical tests on serum and plasm.The investigation has been carried out on a total sample of 1648adult examinees belonging to 670 different families. In this workthe size of samples, the mean values and standard deviations havebeen represented for each biometrical property for the group offathers, mothers, sons and daughters. The similarity betweenfirst-degree relatives has been quantified by calculatingPearsons "product-moment" coefficient of correlation for eachvariable. Differences between pairs are tested using Fisher'sz-transformation of the correlation coefficients. For the purposeof representing the magnitude of assortative mating in thispopulation the correlation of father and mother has beencalculated for these properties; a comparison of the coefficientof correlations Parent-child and the corrected coefficient ofcorrelations Parent-child has also been worked out. Finally, thevalues of two estimators of the coefficients of heritability (h2)for each analysed property have been represented. The obtained results have been compared with the correspondingresults in other authors, and discussed in respect to possibleinfluences of genetic and/or ecological factors on theirformation. The results show a high level of correspondence withwhat was expected. The highest correlation values within a familyhave been found in dermatoglyphic properties and the dimensionsof metacarpal bones, were as the lowest correlations have beenfound in biochemical and physiological parameters; thecorrelations in morphological properties are to be sought in themiddle range of values. The fact that the correlations between children were not higherthan those found in pairs of parents and children confirms theidea that this population belongs to the group of populations ofa high socio-economic status.

    Summary: Migration analysis carried out on the biggest Adriatic island, island of Krk, are a part of the anthropological studies of biological and cultural microdifferentiation among isolated rural populations of eastern Adriatic. Data for migration analysis are collected from church registers and register offices for the time period from 1857 to 1992 and divided into four time cohorts based on the important economic and political events which affected that region. Well established methods for migration analysis are used: parent-offspring analysis applying Wright's island model and stochastic migration matrix model and marital migration analysis. Two aspects of population structure are evaluated: estimation of the isolation of the subpopulations and of the island as a whole, and the degree of kinship within and among the subpopulations. Comaprison of the results obtained by migration analysis, kinship analysis, geographical distance, economical, political and demographic data points to similarities and/or differences of the population structure of different generations and different ancestral groups living in the same ecological conditions. The obtained results have revealed that the effect of micro evolutionary trends, expressed through migration mobility acted with varying intesities through four timecohorts. All applied methods showed high degree of endogamy which speaks in favor of reproductive isolation and therefore genetic isolation of the population of the island of Krk. The increase of migration movements has led to the lover degrees of endogamy through the time which points out a tendency towards genetically opening of the island. The reproductive opening through the time, is differently affected by the within-island and off-island migration. According to the increase of migration rate and decrease of endogamy through the time, there is a decrease of the coefficient of kinship within the subpopulations and increase among the subpopulations which suggests that island of Krk is heading towards homogenization of population. Results obtained using all three methods are leading to the same conclusions, but stochastic model of migration matrix evaluates the effects of migration movements in the most precise way.

    Summary: As a part of a pluridisciplinary study of the Dogon population, this research was carried out during the two field-work periods, in the years of 1992 and 1993, in the Sangha region, Republic of Mali. The study included 1.101 subjects o Dogon population and 104 of neighboring Peul ethnic. Bioanthropological investigation was carried out on the levels of endogamy data, quantitative digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits and endemic goiter data. The results point out that: - endogamy on subpopulation level is not of high values, that implies the existence of inter-village marital migration; - endogamy of the Dogon population as a whole, in regional plane is 89.95%, i.e. population is, on that level, rather "closed" to the influx of gnes; - characteristics of the quantitative digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits of the population do correspond to values referred for West African populations; - sexusal asymmetry of all of the characteristics of the quantitative digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits is reaching higher values in males, except for the atd angle values; - bilateral asymmetry is displayed in all of investigated dermatoglyphic traits, reaching higher values on the right side; - correlation between symmetrictraits of left and right side is high comparing to the other studies, which implies the presence of high proportion of homozygotic allele status; - the differences between characteristics of the quantitative digito-palmar dermatogllyphic traits on the subpopulation level are significant; - the pattern of subpopulations' grouping of Dogon population in the space of dermatoglyphic traits, calculated according to the method of Penrose (1954), suggest the existence of selective, directed marital migration, isolation by distance or "bottleneck effect"; but the real causes are indistinguishable because of the insufficient ethno-historical data of Dogon population; - the Peul population do differ from the neighboring Dogon population in the space of quantitative digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits inspite the closeness of geographical areas they inhabit, which anticipate the existance of different ancestral gene pool of the studied populations; - differences between Dogon and Peul population are less expressed in males than in females which leads us to assume there is a gene flow acting recently between populations; - the comparison of TRC values obtained in this study with other West African populations' data, shows some differences existing but of low correlation with linguistic, ethnic or geographic data; - the incidence of endemic goiter in Dogon population reaches 52.6%; - teh differences in endemic goiter incidence on subpopulation level imply there are some other additional, aggravating causative factors acting besides iodine deficiency; - there are no significant differences in quantitative digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits between the groups of goitrous and healthy subjects. The goal of this study was not to give the definite answers, but to pose a new, more directed ones. This study of biomedical and anthropological characteristics of population points out the need for more multidisciplinary analysis to be taken, which could direct future public health actions and which could give better insight into the processes of formation of human populations' biological characteristics, of evolutionary processes, and on the relationship of population-inherent characteristics (gene pool) and population's environment.

    Summary: This thesis is intended to, through showing the influence of demographic and historic development on the over-all movements of the population of the island of Hvar, contribute to the studies of the population structure of the Eastern Adriatic. The period form 1857 until 1991 is being studied. Parish registries (Status Animarum) were used as the main data source for the 19th century, while the study of the total number of the island population throughout the 20th century was made easier by the existence of official census statistics. The study included several levels: a. establishing of the changes of the total population size in the nine villages on the island of Hvar; b. separation, trough using the factorial analysis, of the villages of Svirče, Bogomolje and Poljica as representatives of the same trends in respective parts of the island of Hvar; c. conducting the analysis of demographic variables by which the population structure of the three above mentioned villages is determined, on the basis of gender, occupation, religion, and, furhter on, birth rate and mortality rates and the natural growth. While studying the natural growth of those inhabitants who, in spite of the depopulation caused by intensive emigration evident since 1971, stayed on the island, it was shown that the western and the eastern parts of the island of Hvar can be clearly distinct. According to the existing data, the western group of villages has moved from the very high natural growth phase to the moderate one after 1910, while very evident depopulation process took place after 1971. For the eastern group of villages, this transition from high to moderate natural growth phase took place in 1931, while depopulation is present since 1961. Poljica, with its specific geographic position at the diviting line between the East and the West of the island, had very high natural growth until 1921, and depopulation is evident since 1961. Causes for the present depopulation can be explained through economic and political circumstances in Dalmatia in the past centuries: preservation of feudalism until 1930s. underdevelopment and poverty, which was especially stipulated by the crisis in wine production at the end of the 19th century and is connected with the high level of emigration of the island population to the countries across the sea and with the lack of any intervention by the need to, within anthropological studies of the population structure, conduct the demographic research.
