Purpose: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of auricular acupressure therapy on the relief of dysmenorrhea and abdominal pain in female university students. Method: This study was designed as non-equivalent control group research. Data were collected from 44 of the female university students(Exp.: 22, Cont. : 22) from October, 2007 to December, 2007. Collected data were analysed through $x^2test$. Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Result: Abdominal pain was significantly decreased partially in the experimental group compared to that of the control group(p=.008). Dysmenorrhea was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to that of the control group(p=.000). Conclusion: It was proven that auricular acupressure therapy was effective for abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea.

스트레스 수준이 논을 것으로 예상되는 공군사관학교 수험생의 신체검사 결과로부터 신체건강 지표인 혈액 내 생화학적 요인들과 정신건강 지표인 다면 인성검사 점수를 추출하여 통계적 상관성 및 유의성을 비교 분석하였다 사관생도들 중 $10\%$의 표본을 추출하여 사관생도와 수험생 집단간의 특성 비교를 위한 비교집단으로 이용하였다. 수험생과 사관생도 집단 간의 특성 요인 비교는 Mann-whitney U 검정과 Kruskal-Wallis 검정을 이용하였다. 수험생 집단 내에서 혈중 요인 및 정신건강 지표인 MMPI 점수는 정상범주에 있었고 두 요인 간 상관성은 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 사관생도와 수험생 집단 간의 특성 요인들에 대한 유의성 검정 결과, 특히 2학년생도들의 혈액 내 혈구 수 및 활동성 또는 적극성과 관련된 MMPI 하위척도에서 수험생 집단과 매운 유의한 차이를 보이는 특이한 현상을 발견할 수 있었고 이에 대한 해석을 언급하였다.

Computer programs for IBM PC/XT/AT or compatibles, are presented for running 9 nonparametric tests. They include sign test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov one sample and two sample tests, Kendall and Spearman rank correlation coefficient tests, and Chi square test for contingency table. Each program is written with BASIC language and is combined into a statistical package, 'NONPARA'. It is easily accessible through the menu programs. The alogorithms on which each test is based, are also explained and 3 examples are given.

MIS 개발에 최고 경영층의 참여에 관한 기존 연구에는 참여의 범위와 정도, 방법, 참여 지침 그리고 MIS 성공과의 관련성 등을 밝히고 있지만 최고경영층의 MIS개발에 참여를 결정하는 요인에 관한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 최고경영층의 MIS참여를 결정하는 요인으로 인지유형을 채택하여 인지유형별로 MIS참여 정도가 다를 것이라는 가설을 검증하는데 있다. 이와 같은 연구는 최고경영층의 MIS참여 방향을 제시하고 최고경영층의 MIS교육과 훈련에 유용한 자료가 되며 궁극적으로 성공적인 MIS구축을 위한 지침이 된다. 최고경영층의 인지유형은 융의 분류를 따랐고, MIS개발에 관한 7개의 참여범위와 5단계에 걸친 참여정도와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 인지유형에 따른 최고경영층의 MIS참여에 대해서 3개의 가설을 설정하여 최고경영자들로부터 직접 회수한 설문지로 Mann-Whitney U 검증법과 Kruskal-Wallis 검증법을 이용하여 실증적 분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 최고경영층의 MIS 참여정도는 인지유형별로 유의적인 차이를 보이고 있다. 그러므로, 인지유형별로 최고경영층의 MIS 참여지침과 참여범위를 제공할 수 있는 것이 입증되었다. 그러나, 본 연구에는 MIS 개발 단계별로 최고경영층 참여의 중요도에 관한 가중치가 고려되지 않았고, 시스템 자체의 성격(DP 혹은 DSS)이 고려되지 않은 제한점 등이 있다.

This paper investigated the efficiency of automobile firms by using several non-parametric approaches. First, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the paper has investigated the critical factors that determine the relative efficiency of management performance in automobile companies. Second, we examined how the firm size impact on the difference of this efficiency by using Kruskl-Wallis Test. Third, by using Mann-whitney test, we also investigated the difference of the efficiency accoss existence of technological innovation activity. Finally, the paper explored the relationship between technological innovation and management efficiency by using logistic regression model. The findings of this study provided practical information for inefficient automobile firms to find benchmarking firms and strategic position to improve their efficiency. The result also provided theoretical and methodological implications for those who explore factors affecting management efficiencies. Future research directions with the limitation of the study are discussed.

This study examined the effectiveness of the Filial Therapy program for children with Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Subjects were 8 mother-child dyads each in the experimental and comparison groups. Mann-Whitney U-test and the Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Ranks Test were performed following the therapeutic program. After application of the Filial Therapy program, results showed that, compared to the control group, (1) parents of SAD children in the experimental group significantly increased their level of empathic interactions with their children. AND (2) the experimental group children significantly reduced level of somatic complaints, anxious/depressed, and social problems. Conclusions were that Filial Therapy is an effective program for improvement of parent-child relationship of SAD children but not for changing problem behavior of SAD children.

This study aimed to confirm the usefulness of a "Traditional Play Program" in a self-esteem and social competency enrichment program at a Community Child Center. The subjects of this research comprised 12 children attending L Community Child Center in M city and participated in a "Traditional Play Program" for each 70minutes every week through total 10 sessions running from July 28th to September 29th in 2014. The collected data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney & Wilcoxon test as non-parametric test, in addition to the progressive recording method for behavior observation. The results of this study indicate that a "Traditional Play Program" enriches the self-esteem and social competence of children who gets more vigorous activity sociality initiative respectively, and proves the usefulness for a Community Child Center.

This study investigated factors affecting the subjective experience of oral symptoms among 2,285 elementary school students in the fourth and sixth grades using the Korean survey on the Health of Youth and Children in 2010. After conducting chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests, we performed multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the factors affecting children's experience of oral symptoms. We found that the factors most frequently associated with the subjective experience of more oral symptoms were lower tooth brushing frequency, greater intake of foods that cause dental caries, higher stress levels, and lower levels of support from friends. In conclusion, determinants of children's oral health, such as children's oral health behaviors and psychological factors must be considered in a multifaceted approach to developing programs to promote oral health among children.

Nowadays many People know well that happiness depends not on richness but on health and wellbeing, and many researchers have studied about such subjects. This paper studies correlations, causal relations and factors of many variables to be considered to be able to explain human health and welfare in a country system, using Kendall's tau and factor analysis methods. Also it finds what main variables are to be controlled for a country system to become more advanced in various sides of health and welfare, using Mann-Whitney statistics. The contribution of this paper is that it can suggest essential variables and important relations which are helpful to construct an efficient system of health and welfare in Korea.

This study investigated the relations of children's age, intelligence, and the concept of conservation to their learning of English. Ten 4-year-old children from 1 child-care center and 13 7-year-old children from 1 elementary school were tested after completion of 8 sessions of experimental English classes. Children's intelligence was measured by K-WPPSI for 4-year olds and K-WISC for 7-year-olds. Children were tested for number and liquid conservations. A Korean teacher with 11 years of experience of teaching children at American elementary schools taught the 2 groups with the same subjects and methods. Data were analysed by independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson's r. The results showed that children's age and the concept of conservation were related to English learning. No statistically significant relationship with IQ was found.
