Objective: to study the changes of the somatometric parameters of city school children of Belarus aged 8-16 over time in the period from 1925 to 2010-2012.Material and methods. To study the somatometric parameters, over 2010-2012 the city school children (1423 boys and 1438 girls) aged 8-16 were examined by the method of V. V. Bunak. The following somatometric parameters were measured in the examined schoolchildren: body length and body weight, chest circumference. To assess the changes in the dynamics of the somatometric parameters of the city school children of Belarus over time, the obtained data were compared to the corresponding data obtained by Р. М. Моnоszоn-Luibina in 1925, by S. A. Lialikov and S. D. Orehovy over 1989-1997.Results. It has been found that the city school children of Belarus examined over 2010-2012 are characterized by higher indices of the somatometric parameters (body length and body weight, chest circumference) (p < 0.05-0.001) as compared to their peers examined in 1925, and 1989-1997.Conclusion. The comparative analysis of the obtained data has made it possible to establish the presence of the process of acceleration in the city school children of Belarus aged 8-16 at the beginning of the 21st century.

The aim of the research was to study the dynamics of the somatometric parameters of city school children aged 8-16 over the period from 1925 to 2010–2012. Over 2010–2012 we performed the anthropological examination (body length and body mass, chest circumference) of the city school children of Gomel aged 8-16 (1 329 boys and 1 490 girls). The data obtained by other researchers in 1925 and 1973 were used for the assessment of the dynamics over time. It has been found that city school children at the beginning of the 21st century were characterized by higher rates of development of the somatometric parameters in comparison with their peers of 1925 and 1973. Sex dimorphism during the process of acceleration was revealed in the increased body length and body mass in boys and asthenization (increased body length and decreased body mass) in girls. The parameters of chest circumference in the examined boys and girls at the beginning of the 21st century were considerably higher in comparison with their peers of 1925. The total growth rate of body length within the studied age range in the examined boys and girls was higher in comparison with the data as of 1925 and 1973, and the total growth rate of the parameters of body mass and chest circumference was higher in the examined boys and girls compared to their peers examined in 1925 and 2010–2012. The school children of the city of Gomel at the beginning of the 21st century revealed acceleration of development of somatometric parameters in comparison with their peers of 1925 and 1973.

Objective: to carry out the comparative analysis of the age dynamics of somatometric parameters of school children in various areas of residence. Material and methods. School children of comprehensive schools of Gomel aged 7-17 were the objects of the study. The program of the study included the measurement of body length, body mass, and chest circumference. The obtained material was compared to the corresponding literature data on the results of the examination of school children residing in other cities. Results. As a result of the study of the regularities of growth processes of the school children of Gomel, it has been found out that the periods of the maximum growth rates of body length, body mass, and chest circumference in boys were revealed before the onset of their puberty and by its end and in girls - only at the beginning of puberty in comparison with their peers in other areas of residence. Conclusion. The age dynamics of somatometric parameters of city school children depends on the area of their residence.

Introduction. An investigation aimed at studying the modern specific features of the physical development of children of school age of Yekaterinburg city was performed. Material and Methods. Somatic (body length, body weight, chest circumference) and physiometric (vital lung capacity, hand strength) physical development indices of 1378 school students of the city of Yekaterinburg aged from 8 to 16 years were surveyed and studied using the anthropomorphic measurement method (cross-sectional studies). The obtained results were compared with the equivalent physical development results collected from the children within the period between 1894 and 2000, as well as physical development data of school students residing in the large cities of the Russian Federation; Student’s t-test, regression analysis were used. Results. A decline in somatometric indices of the physical development (body length, weight, chest circumference) in all age and gender groups of school students was noted within the period between 1894 and 2017, but the decreased average values of the physiometric parameters, i.e. vital lung capacity, hand strength, were noted from 1985. The average body length and average body weight of school students of the city of Yekaterinburg are not significantly different or higher as compared to the peers residing in the large cities of the Russian Federation. In contrast to the regional physical development standards (as of 2000), each third school student has high or higher than average physical development indices: body length by 26.4%, body weight - 36%, chest circumference - 29.8%; a high incidence of low physiometric parameters was noted: low and lower than average indices of the vital lung capacity are characteristic to 35.1% of school students, hand strength - to 20.4% (right) and 22.9% (left) school students. Conclusion. The obtained results are indicative of the epoch-making changes in the physical development of children of the school age, as well as of certain regional distinguishing features, which may be associated with changes in the social and economic, environmental situation, and life style peculiarities of the modern school students.

The article presents the results of the analysis of somatometric parameters of school children living in areas with different levels of urbanization. As a result of the carried out study we have proved the absence of any significant difference (р > 0.05) between somatometric parameters (body length, body mass and chest circumference) in city school children from big industrial cities. At the same time, the studied parameters revealed statistically significant differencies in school children of the same age from cities with high and medium levels of urbanization, as well as rural and city school children from big industrial centers.

This experiment was conducted to study the morphometric and genetic diversity of Tegal, Magelang, and their crossbred ducks. Each ten female about twenty weeks old ducks from Tegal, Magelang, Gallang, and Maggal ducks, respectively, were used as the group materialss. The body weight, chest circumference, body length, shank length, neck length, and pubis width were recorded and tested by analysis of variance of one way classification as the morphometric characteristics. Polymorphism of cytochrome b (cyt b) gene on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Genetic distance was analyzed based on value of heterozygosity, whereas the phylogeny tree was reconstructed using MEGA6 software. The results showed there were highly significant difference (P<0.01) on body weight, chest circumference, body length, and neck length between population, while shank and pubis width were not significant different. The genetic distance between Gallang and Maggal ducks (0.206) was higher than Tegal and Magelang ducks (0.169). It is concluded that the reciprocal crosses increased the morphometric and genetic diversity of Indonesian local duck population.

In the article there are presented results of a study of indices of ioduria in preschool kids and school children of the city of Mezhdurechensk (south of the Kemerovo region). 411 children aged of 3-17 years participated in the study. The median of ioduria on preschooler kids was 97,0 pg/l, and the proportion of urine samples with iodine levels less than 50 pg/l - 1,0%. The median of ioduria in school children is 98,0 pg/l, the percentage of urine samples with iodine levels less than 50 pg/l accounts for 1,3%. On average, on the population of children there was established that the percentage of urine samples with iodine levels from 50-100 pg/l (mild deficiency) was detected in 53,5% of children. Comparative analysis of indices of the level of ioduria according to data obtained in 2008 and 2014 in a group of school children showed that the measures taken to prevent diseases caused by iodine deficiency (the use of iodized salt in the diet of children and adolescents from organized groups on a regular basis) have given positive results.

This paper discusses the long-term vision of the historic city development, where buildings assume a new function over time. The discussion is based on the example of Palazzo Querini Stampalia and Fondaco dei Tedeschi – two monuments restored to Venice in a new, different role. In the comparative analysis of the transformation of the buildings, particular attention was paid to the cultural, social and economic context of the city. This article aims to review the strengths and weaknesses of the new-use scenarios, outlining the renovation of the monuments and its added value for cities. The author concluded that no matter what the new function of the building is, it is worth renovating them, because this way the heritage can survive and this should be the central objective of a long-term vision.
