U konverzacijskom govoru osoba s neurogenim mucanjem primjecene su i neocekivane promjene visine glasa, a u nekih je glas drthtav. Poneki se žale na promjene visine glasa i isticu da osjecaju kako je ne mogu kontrolirati. U tih pacijenata istovremeno ne postoje znakovi dizartrije, osim rijetkih distorzija vokala. Promjene na vokalima su inace prvi indikator neurogenog mucanja, kako kod odraslih, tako i kod djece. Cilj rada je analizirati fonaciju nekoliko djece s neurogenim mucanjem i usporediti je s fonacijom djece urednog neuroloskog statusa.

Knjiga je posvećena profesoru Damiru Horgi povodom njegova sedamdesetog rođendana.

To implement this goal, a text containing adequate questions was selected, and the analysis of the success at school of 141 tested pupils has been conducted. Differences between girls and boys of third and fourth grades have been obtained through the analysis of canonical discrimination and t-test, whereas the link of four applied variables was conducted through Spearman's correlation coefficient and multiple regressive analyses. Statistical data obtained through the canonical discrimination analysis show that there are significant statistical differences between the two genders, while the results of t-test prove that the tested girls are more successful compared to the tested boys only in the variable: correct answers in a reading text, while there are no significant differences in the variables of success at school. The degree of interrelation between the applied variables in this research is extremely high for the two tested groups. By means of the multiple regressive analyses it has been proved that interrelation between the reading comprehension skill and success at school is highly influenced by the variables of success in math and in Albanian language. However, based on the obtained results through this research it can be concluded that girls are more skilled in understanding a reading text compared to boys, and that the higher the grades in math and Albanian language the greater the skills of pupils in reading comprehension will be. Further research in reading comprehension skill is recommended in order to identify children with reading disorders as early as possible.

Fundamental frequency, jitter and shimmer, durations of five vowels and s and z as well as s/z ratio were measured by EZ Voice program for voice analysis and Spectrogram 2.3. This investigation has diagnostically and therapeutically value in better insight of phonation mehanisms. Results of statistical analyses obtained by SPSS program for Windows showed higher jitter (1.53) and lower Fo than normal according to the sex of examenees and in most cases normal shimmer. S/Z ratio showed higher values than normal (1.52 sec).

On 113 basketball players average aged 21.3 years old, 15 morpho-functional variables were measured:

Training is a significant factor affecting body composition, performance, as well and physiological parameters. The aim of this study was through changeable of 13 measured anthropometrical variables, to research the influence of different sports in body composition. The anthropometrical tests were done on 90 basketball players and 512 footballers from Kosova. The gained results were analyzed in terms of basic statistical parameters, T-test, and Canonical Discriminant Analysis. Ttest shows that basketballers and footballers have realized significant differences in almost all measured variables. Canonical Discriminative Analysis indicates the characteristics of tested sportsmen: The basketballers are taller and heavier than footballers, as well they have the greater bodily volume, and more skinfold thickness, compared with footballers. It seems that the bodily volume of the tested basketballers has been influenced by the elements of basketball, than the bodily volume of footballers by the elements of football. As for subcutaneous adipose tissue that is less disperse on the footballers body compared with basketballers, could be explained with different ratio between aerobic and anaerobic demands of different sports.

The aim of the present study was to develop a non-exercise regression model for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) using age, body mass, and resting heart rate as predictor variables. Methods. The VO 2 max of 1502 active football players aged 16-35 years was measured using the Astrand bike Test. The obtained data were analyzed by calculating basic statistical parameters and performing correlation and regression analysis. Results. The results of regression analysis indicated that all three independent variables could significantly (p = 0.000) predict the VO 2 max of the studied athletes. Measured VO 2 max showed significant correlation (0.688) with predicted VO 2 max. Student's paired samples t test indicated no significant differences between measured VO 2 max and predicted VO 2 max (p = 0.782). Conclusions. The results suggest that the nonexercise variables of age, body mass, and resting heart rate, may significantly predict the endurance abilities of athletes (VO 2 max).

Many defined and undefined internal and external factors significantly affect the neonates' bodyweight and birth length. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the impact of the time span of 17 years on the body length and weight of newborns, the average age of the mother and the number of births. Birth Body Length and Birth Body Weight were measured in 214 neonates from Kosovo in two different timelines: 105 neonates born in 2001 and 109 neonates born in 2018. The obtained data were analyzed through descriptive parameters, T-test, and Canonical Discriminant Analysis. According to the canonical discriminative analysis data, it can be concluded that in 2018 women older gave birth to children with greater body length and weight, compared to 2001 when younger women gave birth to children with smaller body length and body weight. Among many defined and undefined factors, the difficult socioeconomic situation in afterwar Kosovo (2001) has been the main factor for the smaller morphometric dimensions of the children born this period than the children born in 2018.

The size, shape and growth of the human skull are the product of many interrelated internal and external factor interactions. The purpose of the present study was to explore the systematic differences in cephalofacial size and shape classification between two measured groups of different ages and different period of done measurements. Five cephalofacial variables and four cephalofacial indexes were measured on 795 entities of the Kosovo Albanian population in two different timelines; 401 male entities aged 20-30 years old were measured during the timeline 1997-1999, while 394 male entities aged 18 years old were measured during the timeline 2016-2018. The gained data were analyzed in terms of basic descriptive statistical parameters and the percentage of distribution of results. The most pronounced differences between the age groups of 18 year-olds and the age group of 20-30 year-olds, are mainly emphasized in the morphological height of the face, total facial index and transverse cephalic index. While in other dimensions, the distribution of results is very similar. Differences between groups can be justified by the age at which the growth of the cephalofacial bones ends and the influence of external factors such as nutritional and socioeconomic factors.

It is evident that a large number of studies have been performed on measures of body height, weight, trunk and limb dimensions, subcutaneous fatness and body composition, etc., but less attention has been paid to cephalofacial measurements. The purpose of this research was to study and explain the latent structure of the humans’ cephalofacial variables. On 754 healthy entities (561 male entities and 193 female entities), aged 18-35 years, were measured 11 cephalofacial variables. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive parameters, Correlation analysis, and Factorial analyses. Correlation analysis confirms the existing of some variables’ sets, which are characterized with the higher correlations between variables within the set. Through the principal ...

U radu se iznose i osnovne karakteristike lidnosti i komunikativnosti takvih osoba na temelju nekih istraiivanja van na5e zemlje. Kako dosada logopedska literatura u naSoj zemlji nije zabrlje2ila slidan sludaj, smatrali smo za korisnim da damo nekoliko podataka o tom problemu, kao podstrek logopedima da u buducnosti vi5e rasvijetle tu pojavu. Mo2da termin koji smo upotrijebili nije adekvatan, ali drugi ne znamo.
