Abstract In this paper will be analyzed the application of the t-test against the nonparametric Mann - Whitney test in the analysis of health insurance benefit costs in the Republic of Srpska on large samples. This research aims to examine which method produces better results when testing statistical hypotheses. The adequacy of the statistical tests will be tested on primary health insurance cost data for 1,044,690 insureds in 2017. For two samples of size 4,000, the sampling distribution of the difference in two means has a skewness coefficient of 0.05 and a kurtosis coefficient of 3.09. Jarque - Bera test does not reject the hypothesis of normality of distribution with a p-value of 0.135. On the other hand, in the Mann - Whitney test, the real risk of the first species, when there is a difference in skewness between the samples, may be less than 0.001 compared to the nominal risk level of 0.05. Based on the results obtained, it is suggested to use the t-test instead of the Mann - Whitney test if the sample is large enough, which should be verified by the bootstrap method.

Diarrhea is currently still the third leading cause of under-five mortality after pneumonia. Diarrhea is one of the diseases that causes death and illness in toddlers every year. One result of diarrhea is nutritional disorders due to reduced food intake, vomiting, hypoglycemia, dehydration which causes metabolic balance disorders because fluid intake is not balanced with expenditure through vomiting and diarrhea. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the duration of diarrhea when giving tempeh porridge to toddlers at the Puruk Cahu Health Center. The design of this study is analytic research with this type of research is Quasi Experiment using the design of the Group Control Post Test Only Design. The population in this study were toddlers who had acute diarrhea in the working area of ​​Puruk Cahu Health Center, Murung Raya Regency and the sample size was 38 people (19 people as the control group and 19 experimental groups). The statistical test used in this study was the Mann Whitney test. The results of statistical tests using the Mann Whitney test found that p value = 0.002 means the value of p value < alpha (0.05), meaning that there is an effect of giving tempe porridge to the duration of diarrhea at Puruk Cahu Health Center. Diarrhea in the group that was not given tempeh porridge lasted longer than the group that was given tempeh porridge. The Conclusion is that there is a difference in the duration of acute diarrhea in the administration of tempe porridge for toddlers at the Puruk Cahu Health Center.

It is known that parametric statistical tests, such as t and F, are more powerful than their nonparametric counterparts, such as the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test or the Kruskal-Wallis test, when the assumption of a normal population distribution is satisfied. However, it has been found that, for quite a few nonnormal distributions, the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test ( W) is more powerful than the Student t-test ( t) both in the asymptotic limit and for small samples. The present computer-simulation study examined the role of outliers in determining the relative power of W and t. In a series of five steps, a standard normal distribution, as well as a uniform distribution, was altered so that extreme scores occurred with increasingly higher probability. It was found that the initial power advantage of t gradually diminished in favor of W. In contrast, in a series of five steps, exponential and Cauchy distributions were truncated at less and less extreme values, so that the influence of outliers was reduced, and the initial power advantage of W gradually diminished in favor of t. For all distributions, the ordinary Student t-test performed on the ranks of measures instead of the measures was affected by addition or elimination of outliers in the same way as W and yielded the same probabilities of Type I and Type II errors as W.

Abstract: Level Of Ability Of Nurses, ECG Interpretation. American Heart Association (AHA) in 2011, recorded more than 1.000.000 people have heart attacks every year, half died from the heart attack and in Europe figures reach 20,000-40,000 CHD patients than 1,000,000 population. In Indonesia in 2002 with acute myocardial infarction disease is the first cause of death with a mortality rate of 220,000 (14%). The purpose of this study to determine the level of ability to interpret ECG nurse in RSUD dr. Soeratno Gemolong Sragen. This research is an experimental approach to Pre-TestPost Test Group design. through research hypothesis testing. The study population was a nurse amounted to 50 respondents divided into two groups. 30 respondents as the treatment group and 20 respondents as the control group. Statistical tests on the group in pairs using the nonparametric Wilcoxon test and unpaired pad groups using the Mann-Whitney test. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test can be concluded that the 30 respondents who do the training interpretation of ECG by means of training and training using the modules can be drawn the conclusion that the majority of nurses had good knowledge in terms of ability to interpret ECG with p-value 0.001, which means there are significant differences between before and after doing the training. While the results of the Mann-Whitney test the difference between training and training in how to use the module p-value 0.001, which means there is a significant difference training by way of training and training in how to use the module.

Introduction: Hypertriglyceridemic waist (TGW) is an easily identifiable clinical phenotype, reflecting visceral obesity. Inflammatory markers and insulin resistance potentially serve as the genetic link between TGW, accelerated atherogenesis and cardiovascular outcomes. We describe characteristics of patients with TGW and the association between inflammatory biomarkers, insulin resistance and TGW. Methods: Our sample consisted of 3328 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (1988-1994). Subjects who did not have data regarding waist circumference (WC) or fasting serum triglycerides (TG) were excluded. TGW was defined as WC ≥ 90 cm and TG ≥ 176 mg/dl in males and WC ≥ 85 cm and TG ≥ 132 mg/dl in females. Biomarkers studied were serum ferritin, C Reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, fasting insulin and C-peptide. Stata 11 was used to perform T test (using log-transformed variables), Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and logistic regression. Results: Our data consisted of 51% (1700) males, 56% (1847) Caucasians/16% (537) African Americans, 54% (1791) had hypertension, 12% (406) had diabetes, 38% (1255) had hyperlipidemia and 35% (1169) had TGW. Mean TG was 163+155mg/dl; mean WC was 99+14cm. Patients with TGW were older (61+ 12 vs. 59+13, p<0.001), male (54 vs. 48%, p 0.003), Caucasian (60 vs. 54%, p<0.001), had more hypertension (61 vs. 50%, p<0.001), hyperlipidemia (47 vs. 33%, p<0.001), diabetes (17 vs. 10%, p<0.001). T test and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test revealed ferritin, CRP, uric acid, insulin and C-peptide to be higher among those who had TGW. They predicted TGW after adjustment for age, sex, race, glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, hypertension medications, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipidemia medications, diabetes, end stage renal disease and hemodialysis. (See table 1) Conclusion: Patients with TGW have worse clinical profiles. Inflammatory biomarkers and insulin resistance are associated with TGW. Genetic studies are required for further evaluation.
