The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing treatment result in patients with Tuberculosis by patient characteristic, admission and disease characteristic, and hospital characteristic from 2006 to 2012. Survey data was using Korean national hospital discharge in-depth survey data produced by KCDC(Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Study subjects were 8,305 inpatients with TB(A15.0~A19.9) and analyzed frequency, chi-square test, and logistic regression by using SPSS 20(Statistical Package for the Science). The results of this study show that influencing factors of treatment result were ages (20-39, 40-64, and over 65 years), type of insurance(medical aid), disease code (A16, A17, A18, A19), LOS (31-90, and 91-180 days), beds of hospital (300-499, 500-999, over 1,000 beds) and hospital district (non-metropolitan). These findings implied that it is necessary to support successful prevention and management for high risk TB groups and to build middle and long-term policies as well as short -term policy.

In recent studies for explaining the causation of crime fear shows interest and effort in studies attempting microscopical individual level and macroscopical local level of sex, age, economic level, crime damage level and etc. However, in this study, it is considered that interest and analysis of individual on characteristics of these local level may has its difference depends on crime damage experience in the past, fragility precision of crime damage and interest on crime relating information and processed positive analysis on characteristics of individual and relation of crime fear on individual level before making an attempt of connecting microscopical level and macroscopical level. Therefore, the purpose of this study is on positive verification of how people feel about crime fear depends on individual's characteristic and also how much effect would they receive. As the result of this study, it is shown that first, population statistical characteristics that crime damage experience is statistically meaningful of its difference of each group are age, status of marriage, final education status and residential area and for the fragility precision of crime damage was sex and status of marriage and for the interest about the crime relating information has meaningful difference statistically of each group depends on sex, age, final education status, income of the house and location of residential area. Second, after processing correlation analysis on individual characteristic primary factor and crime fear, the result of 3 primary factor independent variable all shows statistically meaningful correlation with crime fear and especially fragility primary factor on crime damage showed the most high correlation with crime fear. Lastly, fragility of crime damage, interest on crime information and crime damage experience has effected as characteristics of individual and especially fragility of crime damage which the person thought to be the most fragility on crime damage out of these individual characteristic primary factor showed to have the most effecting primary factor.

This paper seeks to explore the effects of the board structure and director characteristics on the R&D investment of a company. The results from analyzing 95 Korean listed companies reveal that the directors' demographic characteristics substantially affect the R&D intensity. When the directors are younger, major in science or engineering, and have an experience of studying abroad, they tend to be supportive of R&D, thereby increasing the R&D expenditure. Particularly, the effects of insider directors are shown to be greater than those of outside directors, which implies that the Korean corporate boards are mainly operated by insiders. Furthermore, when the relative power of boards is greater than the management, the effects of inside directors, rather than overall directors, on R&D intensity are weakened.

Properties of statistical process control procedures may not be derived analytically in many cases; however, the application of a Markov chain can solve such problems. This article shows how to derive the properties of the process control procedures using the generated Markov chains when the control statistic satisfies the Markov property. Markov chain approaches that appear in the literature (such as the statistical design and economic design of the control chart as well as the variable sampling rate design) are reviewed along with the introduction of research results for application to a new control procedure and reset chart. The joint application of a Markov chain approach and analytical solutions (when available) can guarantee the correct derivation of the properties. A Markov chain approach is recommended over simulation studies due to its precise derivation of properties and short calculation times.

The main purpose of this study was to identify the current awareness and preference on the promotions of products in Korean professional baseball teams. For this study, the subjects were randomly selected where they have experienced purchasing any products in the Korean professional baseball stadium. Totally, 520 subjects were asked to answer the questionnaire relevant to the current awareness and preference of promotion of products. There were 11 questions for the current awareness and 14 questions for the preference on the promotion of products. The data gathered was determined within a frequency analysis, an independent sample T-test and one-way ANOVA tests. The results were discussed when the p-value were lest than .05. There were a couple of results found throughout this study. Firstly, there were no significant differences of the current awareness between gender. Secondly, there were significant differences of the preference on the promotion between age(p<.05). Especially, there were significant differences on the value of products and price between 20's, 30's and 40's groups. Thirdly, there were significant differences of the preference on the promotion between level of earing per year statistically(p<.05). In addition, there were significant differences on the price of products between 2000-2500 million won, 2500-3000 million won and 4000 million won groups. Consequently, the product promotion by the Korean professional baseball teams has to be more variety and structured.

Various multivariate statistics were applied to determine the relationships between sensory properties of 9 pre-cooked foods. Twelve sensory terms were selected to differentiate the food samples in stepwise discriminant analysis. Three factors accounted for 61.9% of total variation of 12 sensory attributes detected. Factor I was highly related to the qualitative sensory terms, while factor II to the quantitative ones. The principal component plot made it possible to define the relationships between sensory properties and food samples. In cluster analysis using average linkage and Ward's method, nine pre-cooked foods were classified into three clusters in terms of their sensorial similarities.

Purpose : This article was to study mental health status through aggression and stress of children of multicultural families, marriage immigrant and to use them as baseline data. Method : We used questionnaire and collected them from 135 children of multicultural families who live in 2 city and 4 do. Frequency Analysis was used for Demographic Characteristics, t-test and one-way ANOVA for aggression and stress depending on demographic characteristics, and regression analysis for the factors. Result : The first, the total score of aggression of the children of multicultural families was 3.05 and the most high score was verbal aggression, 3.69. Stress was 3.66. The second, there was a significant difference between aggression depending on demographic characteristics and verbal aggression(p=.031) depending on age and anger(p=.011). There was also a significant difference between total aggression(p=.028) depending on economic level and physical aggression(p=.049), verbal aggression(p=.000), anger(p=.036), hostility(p=.042), and stress(p=.011). The third, we analysed the factors affecting aggression of children of multicultural families. There was a significant difference resulting from stepwise regression analysis(F=57.139, p<.001), the results showed a strong explanation of aggression by bad in economic status(p<.01), stress(p<.01), 10 years in age(p<.01), and 13 years in age(p<.01). Conclusion : Aggression depending on demographic characteristics of the children of multicultural families was caused by age, economic level, and stress.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between perceived periodontal status and sexual function among adult men. Three hundred thirty adult male participated in this study living at Changwon and Jinju. All the participants surveyed the socio-demographic characteristics, perceived periodontal status, stress, and international index of erectile function (IIEF) using self-administrated questionnaire. The univariate and multivariate analyze were adapted to access the crude and adjusted associations using PASW Statistics 18.0. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between perceived periodontal status and IIEF and most of socio-demographic characteristics (p<0.05), but no significant differences between stress and all of socio-demographic characteristics (p>0.05). The sexual function was negatively correlated with perceived periodontal status (r=-0.228, p<0.001) and stress (r=-0.257, p<0.001), respectively. In multivariate analysis, perceived periodontal status was significantly associated with sexual function (b=-0.889, p=0.030) after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and stress. Therefore, it is found that perceived periodontal status negatively influenced on sexual function in adult men.

Many small area estimation methods have been suggested. Also for the comparison of the estimation methods, model diagnostic checking techniques have been studied. Almost all of the small area estimators were developed by minimizing MSE(Mean square error) and so the MSE is the well-known comparison criterion for superiority. In this paper we suggested a new small area estimator based on minimizing MSPE(Mean square percentage error) which is recently re-highlighted. Also we compared the new suggested estimator with the estimators explained in Shin et al. (2007) using MSE, MSPE and other diagnostic checking criteria.
