  • Ivan Djaja was a member of the French Academy of Sciences

    The text is written by professor Gordana Cvijic, Head of the Department of Physiology and Comparative Physiology and an associate at the Institute of Physiology and Biochemistry of the University of Belgrade where she cites: “Professor Ivan Djaja, a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art, became a member of the French Academy of Sciences (L’Academie des sciences). Academician Djaja deserved this honor with his scientific results achieved in the country, in Belgrade where he established the first Department of Physiology, not only in Serbia but also in the wider European region (1910).”

    The author of the text is dr Dragana Milicevic, a docent, who writes about the development of the Faculty of Biology (FACULTY OF BIOLOGY: 160 of the foundation, 40 years since the establishment of the study group for Molecular biology and physiology and 15 years of teaching Ecology)

  • Forgotten Serbian Prose Writers

    In Serbian literature prose writers are valued through a novel, even though a story is our best genre, Vasko Popa says. “ ‘Pogled kroz prozu’ (published by DOO Dnevnik – novine i casopisi), which offers a complete but at the same time different insight into this period of Serbian literature. ‘Pogled kroz prozu’ contains an essay about the general presentation of Serbian literature and a text about our women literature. Among the nine forgotten writers there were: Hajim S. Davico, Mileta Jaksic, Vladan Stojanovic Zorovavljev, Glisa Babovic, Milica Jankovic, Ivan Djaja, Miodrag Borisavljevic, Frida Filipovic and Slavisa Nikolin Zivkovic. Vasa Pavkovic prepared short biographies of each of the narrators, so that is how we find out that Ivan Djaja was one of the greatest Serbian physiologists, the founder of the first Department of Physiology among the South Slavs.”

    Center for the Promotion of Science
  • The Founding father of the Belgrade School of Physiology

    MA Radomir Mandic wrote a text about professor Djaja in a very popular scientific manner which is typical of “Politikin zabavnik”. Moreover, this text contains an overview of Djaja’s scientific activity: “Today scientists agree that Djaja’s scientific career could be distinguished by three periods devoted to three main topics: enzymes, metabolism and hypothermia. The first, the earliest period of his career, which started in his student days and lasted until the end of the First World War, is crowned with a new rationale for a nomenclature of enzymes and the making of an apparatus for the measurement of oxygen (Djaja’s apparatus). During the second period between the two wars, Djaja was especially focused on research in the field of bioenergetics, the study of metabolism and the influence of temperature and assification (numbness) on living organisms. The pick of the second period was Djaja’s seminal two-volume monograph “Homeothermia and thermoregulation” in which he published his classical curve of thermoregulation (“Djaja’s diagram”). In the third period he was interested in hypothermia (body temperature below normal) and that was the fruitful part of research in the field of bioenergetics, adaptation to cold, defensive role of hypothermia, about metabolism in deep hypothermia. Today, these professional contributions are widely applicative, especially in the field of medical physiology.”
