폐쇄형 뮤추얼 펀드의 시장가격이 펀드의 순자산가치와 일치하지 않는 이상현상은 일찍이 재무분야에서 제기된바 있는 의문현상 중의 하나이다. 펀드의 프리미엄과 기대운용성과에 관한 연구 결과는 여전히 혼재된 상태이다. Chay and Trzcinka(1999)의 연구에 의하면 미국의 주식형 펀드는 평균 8.61% 할인되어 거래되고 있고 표준편차는 10.93%로 나타나고 있다. 우리나라의 성장형 펀드의 경우 약 8.06% 할인율을 가지고 있고 펀드간에 9.35%의 표준편차를 보이는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 1999년 4월말부터 2000년 8월말까지의 국내 성장형 뮤추얼 펀드의 일별 프리미엄과 순자산가치 수익률을 이용하여 펀드의 현재 프리미엄이 미래 기대운용성과 및 미래 기대시장위험에 대한 정보를 반영하고 있는지를 검정하였다. 국내 성장형 펀드의 프리미엄과 기대운용성과 간의 실증분석 결과, Malkiel(1977), Thompson (1978), Pontiff(1995) 등의 연구와 마찬가지로 시장에서의 펀드 프리미엄과 미래 기대운용성과 와의 관계는 음(-) 또는 영(0)의 관계를 보였다. 과거의 운용성과와 미래의 기대 운용성과 간의 관계에서는 비유의적인 양의 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타나 많은 기존 연구들에서 보여 주었던 과거 운용성과와 기대 운용 성과간의 평균유지현상이 국내 시장의 경우 잘 나타나지 않는 것으로 보고되었다. 국내 펀드의 프리미엄과 기대시장위험에 관한 관계에서는 일정한 음의 유의적인 관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 Pontiff(1995)의 연구 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

The serum levels of antioxidant materials (${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, retinol) of the healthy Korean middle-aged adults (n = 373) were measured and their relationships with the serum lipids and anthropometric indices were analyzed. The serum levels of ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, ${\beta}$-carotene, lutein were higher than those of lycopene and ${\alpha}$-carotene. The levels of all measured carotenoids except lutein were significantly higher in females than in males, but retinol level was vice versa. There was a tendency of increase in serum levels of antioxidant vitamins with increasing age. The serum carotenoid levels had a positive correlation with serum cholesterol and a negative correlation with serum triglyceride. The serum levels of tocopherols or retinol showed a significantly positive relationship with blood cholesterol or triglyceride. In overall, anthropometric indices showed negative relations with serum carotenoids levels, but vice versa with serum tocopherol or retinol levels. Particularly, ${\beta}$-carotene and lutein levels showed a significantly negative relation with blood pressure in male subjects. The serum levels of ${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene and ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin had significantly negative relations with body fat-related indices in female subjects. The results demonstrated that blood antioxidants levels differed by sex and age, and had significant relations with blood lipid levels and anthropometric indices. Therefore, the rationale and significance of the relationships need to be elucidated in the future study related to dietary intakes and life style.

We study multivariate extension of Kendall's tau and its statistical interpretation. There exist various versions of multivariate Kendall's tau, for example Scarsini (1984), Joe (1990) and Genest et al. (2011); however, few of them mention its lower bounds. For the bivariate case, the Fr$\acute{e}$chet-Hoeffding lower bound can achieve the lower bound of Kendall's tau. However in the multivariate case, the Fr$\acute{e}$chet-Hoeffding lower bound itself does not exist as a distribution, which makes the interpretation of Kendall's tau unclear when it has negative value. In this paper, we explain sufficient conditions to achieve the lower bound of Kendall's tau and provide real data examples that provide further insights into the interpretation for the lower bounds of Kendall's tau.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginseng and Schizandra chinensis on the quality characteristics of kimchi stored for 40 days at $4^{\circ}C$ after kimchi was fermented for 1 day at $25^{\circ}C$. pH and reducing sugar of GS(Kimchi added with extract powder of fine ginseng root and Schizandra chinensis juice) were the highest in the early part of storage but pH and reducing sugar of G(Kimchi added with extract powder of fine ginseng root) were the highest from 11th storage day. Acidity and $CO_2$ content of GS were the highest during storage period. The $CO_2$ content of GS was the highest significantly and the $CO_2$ content of C(Control) was the lowest significantly. When the hardness was measured, G was the hardest and there were no significant difference between C and GS. Total cells and lactic acid bacteria were increased rapidly at initial fermentation and GS was the highest of 3 samples from 6th storage day. The result of sensory evaluation showed that G was lower in sourness and higher in hardness than C and GS. Ginseng flavor had no significant differences between G and GS. And G was higher than GS in bitter taste. Consumer Acceptance test showed that consumer prefered C and GS to G. Considering all results, it can be concluded that addition of Schizandra chinensis juice to kimchi decreases the bitter taste of ginseng and increasing consumer preference.

Monitoring data of 48 agricultural irrigation reservoirs from 1999 to 2004 was analyzed for water quality characteristics including biochemical oxygen demand $(BOD_5)$, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and chl-${\alpha}$. Land uses of the watersheds associated with these reservoirs were determined for residential, forest, upland, paddy and miscellaneous, and regressed against water quality characteristics. Correlation analysis showed that forest land use was negatively correlated with all the water quality characteristics implying it's beneficial effects in water quality perspectives. Other land uses including residential, upland, and paddy generally illustrated positive correlation with water quality characteristics, which indicates most human activities of the watershed could degrade water quality of the receiving water bodies. Paddy land use partially contributed to the water quality degradation in contrast to the previous studies. It might be attributed to the relatively clean water quality of the study area, where even slight pollutant loading could degrade sensitively water quality. Further investigation is recommended for the effect of proximity as well as land use portions on the water quality of receiving water body.

This study examined the sexual function, sexual distress, and quality of life of middle-aged women with osteoarthritis, as well as the factors influencing the quality of life. The participants were 121 middle-aged women who have been suffering osteoarthritis. Data collection was conducted from September 1 to October 31, 2019. The instruments were the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument (WHOQLO) -BREF scale. Data were collected with structured questionnaires and analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. A positive correlation was observed between sexual function and quality of life, whereas sexual distress had a negative correlation between sexual function and the quality of life. Factors affecting the quality of life of middle-aged women with osteoarthritis were sexual function, sexual distress, which explained 16.1%. Sexual distress, sexual function, and quality of life showed a correlation. Therefore, it is important to develop a nursing intervention that can improve the sexual function and reduce the sexual distress of middle-aged women with osteoarthritis to improve their quality of life.

This study was conducted to compare nurses' job stress, hardness and burnout between general hospitals and advanced general hospitals. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires from 394 nurses(general 198, upgrade general 196) in the C and S city between April and May, 2010. Data analysis was done with independent t test, ANCOVA, ANOVA, Scheffe & Eacute test and Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS WIN v 17.0. Job stress, hardness, and burnout of nurses in general hospitals were 2.45, 2.11 and 3.70 respectively. Those in advanced general hospitals were 2.69, 2.70 and 3.70 respectively. Job stress and hardness were significantly higher in general hospitals. There was no significant difference of burnout between general and advanced general hospitals. Burnout of nurses in both hospitals was positively correlated with job stress and negatively correlated with hardness. Further studies are necessary for identify factors influencing job stress of general hospitals. Program for enhancing hardness of nurses in upgrade general hospitals should be developed.

Purpose: This study is to investigate factors affecting depression in nursing students. Methods: A survey was conducted with 216 nursing students in college at P city, D city, and K province. Data was collected from April 15 to May 21, 2018, and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA and hierarchical regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between verbal violence and depression(r=.261, p<.001), between physical threat and depression(r=.291, p<.001). Also, Self-esteem had a significant positive correlation with resilience(r=.685, p<.001) and negative correlation with depression(r=-.590, p<.001). Moreover, resilience had a significant negative correlation with depression(r=-.612, p<.001). In the hierarchical analysis, factors affecting the nursing students' depression were resilience(${\beta}=-.337$, p<.001), self-esteem(${\beta}=-.279$, p<.001), physical threat(${\beta}=.177$, p=.001). The variable that had the highest impact on depression was resilience and the explanatory power of the regression model was 51.5%(F=17.965, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the major factors influencing nursing students depression are physical threat, self-esteem and resilience. Therefore, it suggests that an intervention program will be required to prevent violence during the clinical practice, enhances self-esteem and improves resilience in order to reduce depression of nursing students.

This purpose of study was to identify variables predicting basic psychological need in hemodialysis patients. The participants were 134 patients from two major general hospitals and two dialysis center located in J city. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and physiological index. Data analysis was done by using SPSS WIN 18.0 program for one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. This study showed a negative correlation between basic psychological need and uncertainty(r=--.464, p<.001), depression(r=-.422, p<.001). In addition, relationships and physiological index were Positively correlated. The uncertainty(${\beta}=-.345$), depression(${\beta}=-.279$), physiological index(${\beta}=-.117$) have a 29% explanatory power for the basic psychological need in hemodialysis patients. Physiological index, uncertainty and depression in turn influenced the basic psychological needs of hemodialysis patients. It is necessary to develop nursing strategies and programs to reduce disease uncertainty and depression in order to increase self-deterministic health behavior through autonomy, competence and relationship satisfaction.

This descriptive investigation aims to identify a relationship between QOL, depression, and anxiety in hemodialysis patients. I conducted this research on 130 subjects aged 19 or above who have received dialysis for at least one month in the hemodialysis unit at N hospital in the city of S. However, it came to 112 as I took out those who either quit, died, or filled out a questionnaire in the incorrect manner. In regards to average points of QOL on a 100-point scale, it is 57.77, demonstrating quite low QOL. Concerning average points of depression and anxiety, it is 12.25 and 10.52, respectively, showing quite a high figure. With regard to a correlation, there is a significant correlation between the three factors in hemodialysis patients: there is a negative correlation between QOL and depression (r=-.782, p<.001); a negative correlation between QOL and anxiety (r=-.719, p<.001); and a positive correlation between depression and anxiety (r=.873, p<.001). The outcome of multiple regression analysis on factors affecting QOL shows that depression is the element influencing QOL (β=-.585). Therefore, this study is significant in providing basic data for establishing intervention strategies aiming to reduce levels of depression which has the strongest impact on QOL in the patients and for developing a nursing intervention program intending to improve their QOL.
