This article studies monthly distribution of marriages in Sajkaska region (North Serbia) for the period 1869 to 2011. The data were derived from 64,175 marriages that are found in marriage registers. For the purpose of the analysis, the entire period is divided into seven smaller periods. The main finding of this article is that seasonality of marriage changed along with the system of production. Also, adherence of religion played an important role in the past. At the beginning of the period of our analysis, the region was inhabited by families practicing an inefficient extensive agriculture, and seasonality of marriage was highly present: in only two months (November and October), more than a half of all marriages were concluded. In the second part of the twentieth century, the share of agricultural population decreased and the seasonal pattern of marriage changed.

Climate change has been recognized as an important issue in public health, with particular concerns being raised about the effects of heat and cold extremes on health, and about seasonal changes over the year and their associations with increased mortality and hospitalizations. This paper explored the relationship between physiological equivalent temperature (PET) and cardiovascular and respiratory hospital admissions in Novi Sad (Serbia) with the aim of assessing the impact of urban outdoor thermal conditions on health. Analysis was performed using daily data on cardiovascular and respiratory hospital admissions by gender covering the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. For the same period, PET was calculated using data from two urban meteorological network stations. The association between PET and hospital admissions was examined using a generalized additive model (GAM) combined with a distributed lag non-linearmodel (DLNM). The study found a non-linear relationship between PET and cardiovascular and respiratory hospital admissions, with a larger impact during the cold period of the year. The findings also indicated that under conditions of high PET, the cumulative RR increased for cardiovascular admissions (for males) and respiratory admissions (for females). People with pre-existing respiratory diseases were found to be more vulnerable under conditions of extremely low and moderately low PET, with a greater effect at lag 0–14 days. By contrast, for people with cardiovascular diseases, low PET was linked to a decrease in hospital admissions, with the risk being lowest at lag 0 and 0–3 days.
