Automated placement of anthropometric landmarks
Background: Anthropometric analysis of cranial structures plays a crucial role in fields such as forensic science and biological anthropology. The precise identification and placement of anthropometric landmarks are essential for accurate measurements and comparative analyses. However, manual annotation is time-consuming and subject to variability. Therefore, the development of automated methods for landmark detection has become an important area…

Association between expression level of the miR-320, miR-182, miR-223 and miR-486 and body composition among young Polish female volleyball players
The expression of circulating microRNAs appears to be a promising indicator of physical strength. The objective of this study was to determine whether there is an association between the expression level of four selected microRNAs and body composition over time among young female volleyball players. Blood samples and body composition measurements were taken from 7 females who are Polish volleyball players before and after 5 matches played out bet…
Associations between birth season and lumbar spine bone mineral density in perimenopausal Polish women
In European populations, the birth season significantly correlates with many biological features. It is thus possible that the observed clinical effects of bone metabolism disorders are a partial consequence of bone mineral density (BMD), modified by the season of prenatal development (the birth season). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the birth season and BMD among Polish women in perimenopausal age. A total of 653…
Economic stress affects the human sex ratio
This paper contributes to the verification of the Trivers–Willard hypothesis (TWH). Based on the TWH, observed sex (male-to-female) ratio at birth in a population is presumed to decline when parents experience economic stress. The empirical evidence so far is mixed. The research material consisted of data on the total numbers of live male and female births in the Polish population in the years 1995–2020. The data were used to produce semiannual t…
The age difference in 2D
In this study a widely debated association between 2D:4D digit ratio and age was investigated. The study material included 960 individuals (530 females and 430 males) from Central Poland aged between 6-79 years. The information about age was obtained via survey filled in by study participants or, if underaged, their parents. The direct measurements of the second and fourth finger were performed to assess the 2D:4D digit ratio. The 2D:4D digit rat…

Familial factors more importantly modify the age of achieving motor developmental milestones than duration of breastfeeding amongst Polish children
0.6568) in studied group of children. The results showed that parental age and education may affect the offspring's gross motor development, though effect sizes are small and directions of influence vary between fathers and mothers. The study underlines the importance of familial factors over the breastfeeding duration impact on time of developmental milestones.
Odontological analysis of Polish children with unilateral cleft lip and palate
Tooth size, being the effect of interaction of genetic and prenatal factors, could be of importance in interpreting the multifactor causes of cleft lip/palate. Publications indicating decreased tooth parameters, no dental differences, or larger dimensions of teeth in cleft lip/palate patients. Researchers report mostly mesiodistal (MD) measurements of maxillary (affected) teeth. There is a lack of data for buccolingual (BL) diameters. Both MD and…

Fluctuating asymmetry of some head structures and its possible causes
The analysis of eight cephalometric paired characters of 1236 children aged 7 to 10 was carried out. The standardized variance of differences between right and left character values (R-L) and the correlations between right and left values of same individuals were used to assess the fluctuating asymmetry (FA) level of each character and each individual. The highest values of FA were observed for the width of the wings of the nose (ala) (al-sn) and…
The comparison between two age estimation methods based on human teeth
From among age estimation procedures we chose two for comparison. One of them is the standard method based on root dentin transparency; the other one is based on coronal pulp cavity heigth. The material consisted of X-ray photographs and longitudinally sectioned teeth of 276 individuals (174 males and 102 females) of known age. The comparison shows that the poorly known TCI method is at least as precise as the most widely applied and acknowledged…

Can economic stress affect secondary sex ratio in Poland
The ratio of male to female births described as the male proportion is expected to be about 1.06. The secondary sex ratio can be influenced by various stresses experienced by parents (e.g., parents' exposure to chemical and physical pollution, natural phenomena, wars and economic crises). The seminal study in this field speculated that fewer goods and services than needed or desired might sufficiently stress human populations to lower the seconda…
