Problem upotrebe zabranjenih supstanci (dopinga) u sportu je bio, jeste i bice aktuelan problem koji narusava sam duh sporta, ljepotu i zadovoljstvo, a vrlo cesto i zdravlje sportiste. Zbog toga je neophodno pristupiti rjesavanju ovoga problema, ako je moguce i trajno, mada je to nekada jednostavno neizvodljivo. U istraživanju je ucestvovalo ukupno 200 studenata Fakulteta fizickog vaspitanja i sporta, od cega 100 studenata Univerziteta u Istocnom Sarajevu (Bosna i Hercegovina) i 100 studenata AMU Aligarh PU (Indija), starosne dobi od 18-26 godina. Od ukupnog uzorka 170 (85%) su bili ispitanici muskog pola, dok je 30 (15%) ženskog pola. Osnovni cilj istraživanja je bio da se provjeri nivo znanja i utvrde stavovi studenata i utvrde njihove međusobne razlike o upotrebi zabranjenih supstanci u sportu. Za prikupljanje neophodnih informacija koriscen je anonimni anketni upitnik sa 13 jasno definisanih pitanja, (11 pitanja zatvorenog i 2 pitanja otvorenog tipa) koja su se odnosila na određena znanja, stavove o dopingu u sportu. Dobijeni su relevantni rezultati koji su globalni pokazatelj informisanosti, znanja i stavova populacije studenata fizickog vaspitanja i sporta o sve vecem problemu danasnjeg modernog sporta koga nazivamo doping. Od ukupnog uzorka, cak 85% studenata oba subuzorka su oznacili atletiku kao sport sa najvise doping afera, a zatim slijedi biciklizam (43%), bodi bilding i dizanje tegova (22%), dok su sportske igre sa (28%), Cricket (25%), Streljastvo i Sah sa (19%), kao sportovi sa najmanjim brojem doping afera.

Uprkos znacajnim teorijskim izvorima koji se odnose na lose držanje kod djece i adolescenata, a koje je izazvala promjena nacina života, saznanja o problemu abnormalne kicmene krivine treba da budu dopunjena. Može se uvidjeti sve veci broj gojazne djece i ovaj problem težine može dovesti do vece ucestalosti loseg držanja tijela. Ovaj rad ima za cilj da utvrdi ucestalost dobrog i loseg držanja tijela kod djevojcica u odnosu na njihove tjelesne težine, kao i da otkrije da li prekomjerna težina (gojaznost) daju predispoziciju za lose držanje. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 500 djevojcica uzrasta 7-15 godina, koje žive u Szczecinu u Poljskoj. U procjeni držanja tjela, koriscena je sferosomatometrijska metoda Ivanovskog. Djevojcice sa normalnom tjelesnom težinom su predstavljale 77,7% ispitanika. U 6,7% slucajeva, identifikovana je nedovoljna tjelesna težina. 11,3% su imale  visak kilograma , dok je 4,3% djevojcica bilo gojazno - sto iznosi 15,6 % ispitanica. Nepravilno držanje tijela je identifikovano u 32,4% ispitanica. Najveci broj djevojcica sa losim držanjem tijela pronađeno je među 9-godisnjakinjama (38,6%), 13-godisnjakinjama (35.2 %) i 15-godisnjakinjama (35,1%). Prekomjerna težina i gojaznost je bila predispozicija kod ispitanica za pojavu nepravilnog držanja kicme: abnormalna kicmena krivina je pronađena u 30,8% gojaznih djevojcica i djevojcica sa prekomjernom težinom.

Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utjecaj pojedinih motorickih sposobnosti na natjecateljsku uspjesnost stolnotenisaca. Uzorak ispitanika cinilo je 48 najboljih seniora uzrasta 17-36 god (reprezentativni uzorak) u Bosni i Hercegovini. Uzorak ispitanika je odabran na osnovu kvalifikacionog turnira svih registriranih stolnotenisaca Bosne i Hercegovine. Mjerni instrumenti za ovo istraživanje su: dvanaest varijabli za procjenu bazicnih motorickih sposobnosti i jedna varijabla za procjenu natjecateljske uspjesnosti u stolnom tenisu. Metode obrade rezultata ukljucivale su deskriptivne statisticke procedurei multiplu regresijsku analizu. Motoricki prediktori primjenommultiple regresijske analize znacajno su objasnili kriterijsku varijablu natjecateljska uspjesnost stolnotenisaca.Na osnovu rezultata multiple regresijske analize koja je sprovedena na sest neovisnih, prediktorskih varijabli iz skupa bazicne motoricke sposobnosti i pozicije ispitanika na rang ljestvici stolnotenisaca (BODRNG), kao i ovisnom varijablom natjecateljske uspjesnosti, uz koristenje enter metode, dobivena je jedna statisticki znacajna regresijska funkcija. To ukazuje na to da između navedenih varijabli postoji linearna povezanost. Dobiveni koeficijent multiple korelacije je statisticki znacajan i iznosi R=.65, sto govori da se oko 41% varijance rezultata varijable pozicija ispitanika na rang ljestvici stolnotenisaca (BODRNG), može objasniti uz pomoc ukljucenih prediktorskih varijabli. Kao ukupno gledano najznacajniji prediktor može se izdvojiti varijabla tapinga rukom, to jest varijabla za procjenu frekvencije pokreta. Međutim, ne treba zanemariti i varijable za procjenu eksplozivne snage i to kako onih za procjenu apsolutne, tako i procjenu relativne eksplozivne snage.

The research was conducted at the Department of Addictions of the Psychiatry Clinic in BanjaLuka in 2011/2012. It included two groups of examinees.One group was Experimental N (50) which consisted of alcohol addicts who had committed crime and misdemeanor offenses and the second one was a control group N (50) which consisted of alcohol addicts who had not commited these acts. The perpetrators of domestic violence are often treated at the Psychiatry Clinic following the Court verdict. The aim of the research is to study personality characteristics of alcohol addicts from these stand points: 1) What are the personality characteristics of alcohol addicts. 2) What are the personality specificities of alcohol addicts who have commited criminal acts or offenses and alcohol addicts who have not committed criminal acts and offenses. 3) Can the personality characteristics of alcohol addicts be taken into account indrawing up treatment guidelines for the prevention of relapse of criminal behavior and suggesting possible ways of sanctioning through the legal system. The research was conducted at the Department of Addictions of the Psychiatry Clinic in BanjaLuka in 2011/2012. It included two groups of examinees.One group was Experimental N (50) which consisted of alcohol addicts who had committed crime and misdemeanor offenses and the second one was a control group N (50) which consisted of alcohol addicts who had not commited these acts. The perpetrators of domestic violence are often treated at the Psychiatry Clinic following the Court verdict. The results showed that the offenders differ from non-offenders in the fact that they start drinking earlier, and they have a statistically significant difference in many categories of sociopathic characteristics in terms of problems in school,conflicts with law, conflicts within the family, and more often show aggression. Analysis of the personality characteristics shows statistical significance at the subscale of psychopathic deviation forthe perpetrators. Category of offenders is significantly more impulsive than non-offenders under all three components of impulsiveness: cognitive, motor and dispersal of attention. Everything mentioned above indicates the need for early prevention of alcohol and work with high-risk populations. On the other hand, there should be a better secondary prevention where, besides treating alcohol dependence, a group of perpetrators has a need for psychosocial treatment of anger control.

The article investigates the relationship between unemployment rate and development indicators: (1) the GDP per capita in Purchasing Power Parities (PPP in current international $); and (2) the Internet penetration rate, defined as the percentage of Internet users per 100 people. For 34 countries in 2013, only two simple linear regression models based on natural logarithms of data and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimator appeared to be useful. The simple linear regression "Model 1" shows a negative correlation between the main variable under study ln(Y_UemRate) and the regressor ln(X_GDPpc), explaining nearly half of the total variation. The simple linear regression "Model 2" shows a negative correlation between ln(Y_UemRate) and ln(X_IntUse), explaining 27 % of the total sum of squares. Regarding clustering of 34 countries based on three variables, the Ward linkage and squared Euclidean distances gave an interesting four-cluster solution. The South-East European (SEE), and especially to the Western Balkan's countries (WBC) are focused. These countries, spread in three clusters, are not homogeneous. Bosnia and Herzegovina and R. Macedonia are with Spain and Greece, all having difficult economic situation. Albania, Montenegro and Serbia are with Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, all being the SEEC. Croatia is with more developed Italy, Cyprus and Poland, and with less developed Portugal. Central European Slovenia, joined more developed countries of that area, but the most developed European countries comprised a cluster of their own.

AbstractBackgroundSoccer is the most popular sport worldwide, with a long history and currently more than 500 million active participants, of whom 300 million are registered football club members. On the basis of scientific findings showing positive fitness and health effects of recreational soccer, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) introduced the slogan “Playing football for 45 min twice a week—best prevention of non-communicable diseases” in 2010.ObjectiveThe objective of this paper was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to determine the effects of recreational soccer on maximal oxygen uptake ($$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max).MethodsSix electronic databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, CINAHL and Google Scholar) were searched for original research articles. A manual search was performed to cover the areas of recreational soccer, recreational physical activity, recreational small-sided games and $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max using the following key terms, either singly or in combination: recreational small-sided games, recreational football, recreational soccer, street football, street soccer, effect, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake, cardiorespiratory fitness, $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max. The inclusion criteria were divided into four sections: type of study, type of participants, type of interventions and type of outcome measures. Probabilistic magnitude-based inferences for meta-analysed effects were based on standardised thresholds for small, moderate and large changes (0.2, 0.6 and 1.2, respectively) derived from between-subject standard deviations for baseline fitness.ResultsSeventeen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Mean differences showed that $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max increased by 3.51 mL/kg/min (95 % CI 3.07–4.15) over a recreational soccer training programme in comparison with other training models. The meta-analysed effects of recreational soccer on $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max compared with the controls of no exercise, continuous running and strength training were most likely largely beneficial [effect size (ES) = 1.46; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.91, 2.01; I2 = 88.35 %], most likely moderately beneficial (ES = 0.68; 95 % CI 0.06, 1.29; I2 = 69.13 %) and most likely moderately beneficial (ES = 1.08; 95 % CI −0.25, 2.42; I2 = 71.06 %), respectively. In men and women, the meta-analysed effect was most likely largely beneficial for men (ES = 1.22) and most likely moderately beneficial for women (ES = 0.96) compared with the controls. After 12 weeks of recreational soccer with an intensity of 78–84 % maximal heart rate (HRmax), healthy untrained men improved their $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max by 8–13 %, while untrained elderly participants improved their $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max by 15–18 %. Soccer training for 12–70 weeks in healthy women resulted in an improvement in $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max of 5–16 %. Significant improvements in $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max have been observed in patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and prostate cancer.ConclusionRecreational soccer produces large improvements in $$ \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\;\hbox{max} } $$V˙O2max compared to strength training and no exercise, regardless of the age, sex and health status of the participants. Furthermore, recreational soccer is better than continuous endurance running, albeit the additional effect is moderate. This kind of physical activity has great potential for enhancing aerobic fitness, and for preventing and treating non-communicable diseases, and is ideal for addressing lack of motivation, a key component in physical (in)activity.

The anatomical rationale and efficacy of the chin tuck in improving airway protection for some people with swallowing disorders have been well researched and established. However, there are still open questions regarding whether brain activity for swallowing control is altered while performing this chin-tuck maneuver. In this study, we collected EEG signals from 55 healthy adults while swallowing in the neutral and chin-tuck head positions. The time-frequency based synchrony measure was used to form brain networks. We investigated both the small-world properties of these brain networks and differences among the constructed brain networks for the two head positions during swallowing tasks. We showed that brain networks for swallowing in both head positions exhibit small-world properties. Furthermore, we showed that swallowing in the chin-tuck head position affects brain networks in the Alpha and Gamma frequency bands. According to these results, we can tell that the parameter of head position should be considered in future investigations which utilize EEG signals during swallowing activity.
