Objectives: Through the method of correlation analysis, this paper studies the impact of tobacco economy on the local economy of Yunnan Province, China. Methods: This paper studies the impact of tobacco industry on Yunnan economy by using the relevant theories of industrial economics, econometrics and regulatory economicscombined with the actual situation of tobacco industry in Yunnan Province. Based on the analysis of the overall development of Yunnan tobacco industry, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between tobacco industry and Yunnan economic growth. Results: When the output value of tobacco industry increases by 1%, it will drive the GDP of Yunnan to increase by 0.373%. By comparing the economic benefits of tobacco with the social cost of tobacco, it is found that the social cost caused by tobacco increases year by year with the economic development. The economic benefit is slightly greater than the social cost, and the difference between the two is also increasing year by year. Conclusion: The healthy development of tobacco industry can promote the growth of local economy in Yunnan. In the context of tobacco control, we should fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of developing the tobacco industry.

Objectives: Starting from the tobacco economy, this paper studies the “surge phenomenon” of macro-economy in developing countries. Methods: This paper studies the impact of tobacco industry on Anhui economy by using the relevant theories of industrial economics, econometrics and regulatory economics, combined with the actual situation of tobacco industry. Based on the analysis of the overall development of tobacco industry, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between tobacco industry and Anhui economic growth. This paper combs the relevant literature of the existing research results of this theory. Combined with the special fact that government investment accounts for a large proportion in China’s current economic construction, this paper redefines the hypothesis of the investor in the theory of principles. On this basis, the expected equilibrium results of enterprise investment decision-making under government led and market led modes are compared and analyzed by using incomplete information static game model. Results: When the output value of tobacco industry increases by 1%, it will drive the GDP to increase by 0.373%. Secondly, by comparing the economic benefits of tobacco with the social costs of tobacco, it is found that with the economic development, the social costs caused by tobacco increase year by year, but the economic benefits are slightly greater than the social costs. The difference between the two is also increasing year by year. Conclusion: In the context of tobacco control, we should fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of developing the tobacco industry. Under the excessive intervention of the government, the manifestation of the surge phenomenon is more intense, and the final consequence of overcapacity is more serious than that under the market-oriented mode..


The university is considered one of the engines of growth in a local economy or its market area, since its direct contributions consist of 1) employment of faculty and staff, 2) services to students, and supply chain links vendors, all of which define the University’s Market area. Indirect contributions consist of those agents associated with the university in terms of community and civic events. Each of these activities represent economic benefits to their host communities and can be classified as the economic impact a university has on its local economy and whose spatial market area includes each of the above agents. In addition are the critical links to the University, which can be considered part of its Demand and Supply chain. This paper contributes to the field of Public/Private Impact Analysis, which is used to substantiate the social and economic benefits of cooperating for economic resources. We use Census data on Output of Goods and Services, Labor Income on Salaries, Wages and Benefits, Indirect State and Local Taxes, Property Tax Revenue, Population, and Inter-Industry to measure economic impact (Implan, 2016).

Abstract We set out to assess the social impacts of tourism in a Community Based Tourism (CBT) destination by asking the following questions; (1) from a community and individual perspective, what are the major issues faced in a CBT destination?, and (2) is there any pattern to, or similarity between, quality of life and liveable environment impacts in a CBT destination? The Sagarmatha (Mt Everest) National Park in Nepal is used for the study area and where tourism is clearly an important contributor to the local economy. Despite high levels of resident and visitor satisfaction with tourism, survey results indicate that the major issues faced by communities and individuals in the Sagarmatha National Park and Buffer Zone (SNPBZ) are related to uncontrolled tourism development. This is most evident in a lack of relevant skills and training, increasing time burden to cater for tourists, frustrations felt by residents during peak season, the impact of inbound migration, lack of community control and most importantly, the impact of waste and water pollution. Management of the SNPBZ is based on a multi-stakeholder system that includes local population participation, but it does not seem to be working very well. Our survey indicates that uncontrolled growth of tourism businesses is placing increasing pressures on traditional cultures and the environment, thus creating negative impacts on quality of live and liveable environment for residents. Without an effective management system that enhances the ability of communities and Park management to control the impact of tourism, the situation is very likely to worsen in the future.

This chapter examines the impacts of social media on children. Advantages and disadvantages of social media are always available. Positive aspects of social media include allowing children to be brought up as multicultural individuals, enabling education and training environments to design for purposes, using as the main or supplementary source of education, a great power in creating and sharing information. Its negative aspects include leading to a reduction of their academic, social, and cognitive skills in the early periods when children were exposed to the social media, causing the children to develop obesity, mostly bringing up as consumption-centered individuals, perceive the world as a screenshot, and have low critical, creative, and reflective thinking skills. Therefore, one of the most important tasks undertaken to reduce or eliminate the negative effects is to raise and educate media-literate individuals.

Abstract This article explores the current literature on ‘research impact’ in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). By providing a comprehensive review of available literature, drawing on national and international experiences, we take a systematic look at the impact agenda within SSH. The primary objective of this article is to examine key methodological components used to assess research impact comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The study finds that research impact is a highly complex and contested concept in the SSH literature. Drawing on the strong methodological pluralism emerging in the literature, we conclude that there is considerable room for researchers, universities, and funding agencies to establish impact assessment tools directed towards specific missions while avoiding catch-all indicators and universal metrics.

Attitude is defined as acquired disposition, readiness for a certain way of perception, thinking, emotional reacting and behaving. The formation of social attitudes is greatly in influence by a group (alcoholics group). Drinking alcohol also disrupts higher cognitive processes: abstraction, conceptualization, problem solving and influences on different opinions.Our research concerned the impact of chronic alcohol use and membership to alcoholic group as a framework that influences attitudes towards sexuality. 200 persons were sample in this research: 100 alcohol addicts and 100 persons of the control group. The instrument used in this study was-Scale of attitudes toward sex.Statistically significant difference was found in five attitudes:–Differences in two paragraphs point to some homosexual orientation. We can confidently say that this is a “latent homosexuality in an alcoholic”, it is possible that the difference arises because of the presence of homosexuals in the group of alcoholics, although the subjects did not say to have such orientation.–Some conservatism is present in the attitude drinkers to sexuality of the young, they argue that sexual experience can wait until more mature years.–Extramarital relationships are positively evaluated by the control group, while alcoholics show greater disapproval.–Alcoholics have the attitude that sexual arousal does not come with ease, unlike the control group.–They are more liberal about the social situation of people with HIV (a certain degree of identification with an estimated negative social group).Results showed small difference in attitudes between alcoholics and nonalcoholic.

Purpose In the present era of modernization, the social group members interact with each other with selfish and unselfish intents. However, the unselfish means and ends build a long term relationship among people. On the other hand, selfish ends bud out unethical means such as abuses, violence and fights. The situation becomes tough when the same becomes evident among the family relationship and as a consequence the elderly are being treated unfairly. Out of such cases, some are reported and the majority of them remain unreported, which eventually becomes the cause of concern for the social welfare agencies. Thus, this paper aims to examine the elder abuse (EA) tendency in metro, non-metro and religious cities. Design/methodology/approach For this study, a mixed-method approach is used to develop survey instruments, validate findings using qualitative and quantitative data sources for better generalization of results. The present study explored and confirmed the related factors using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis for the establishment of a valid scale of EA. Further, the difference of perceptions among the elders for abuse across the metro, non-metro and religious cities was statistically checked using the ANOVA and post hoc techniques. Findings The present study identified the traces of EA and created a comprehensive understanding of it. The present study manifests the prevailing practices of EA in society by discussing the demerits of dependency and modernization. Moreover, the present study assesses the pervasiveness and the repercussion of dependency and the impact of modernization on EA followed by a discussion on how the victim elders may handle the situation. In the present study, a scale is developed to identify EA because of the dependency of the elderly and the modernization of society. Originality/value Some exclaiming thoughts such as the dependency of elders elevate the chances of EA on one side, while modernization of society hampers the social/family bonding leading to EA. The inconsistent development across the region has created modernization as a significant factor for EA. The level and depth of modernization across locations such as metro, non-metro and religious cities are the cause for varying degrees of EA. Based on the literature review, the present study has sensed the presence of EA in society at large by developing a scale for the aforesaid purpose.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">Menghormati ahlulbait adalah salah satu anjuran agama yang mulai diabaikan di komunitas sosial sebab mengabaikan pemahaman tekstual dan kontekstual dalam hadis. padahal mengabaikan pemahaman hadis yang komprehensif dapat menimbulkan ketidaktepatan dalam tindakan. Pemahaman menghormati ahlulbait mengalami dinamika teologis antara sunni maupun syi’ah, sehingga persoalan tersebut perlu dikembalikan dengan sumber primer keislaman yakni al-Qur’an dan Hadis.  Melalui teori pemahaman hadis tekstual dan kontekstual tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa menghormati ahlulbait adalah tindakan yang harus selektif, dalam ubudiyah adalah diikuti namun tidak bersikap fanatis, sedang dalam dimensi mu’amalah maka semua dikembalikan kepada kesahihan sanad dan pemahaman matan hadis melalui kitab syarah. Hasil dari tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa menghormati ahlulbait memiliki sanad hadis yang sahih dan hasan tanpa adanya sekaligus mendudukkan bersama perihal pandangan sunni dan syi’ah yang saling mengklaim satu sama lain, bedanya ahlulbait dalam sunni memiliki cakupan yang luas, sedang dalam syi’ah ahlulbait hanya sebatas Nabi Muhammad saw, Siti Fatimah, sahabat ‘Ali Ibn Thalib <em>karramallahu wajha, </em>sayyidina Hasan dan Husein. Adapun dampak menghornati ahlulbait adalah memiliki pikiran yang baik (<em>al-husnu al-dzan</em>), memiliki paras menawan (<em>ahsan al-nas</em>), dan memiliki perangai yang bagus (<em>al-akhlak al-karimah</em>).</p><p class="06IsiAbstrak">[<span class="jlqj4b"><strong><span lang="EN">Study of Hadith Respecting Ahlulbait: From Textualist to Contextualist Understanding</span></strong><span lang="EN">. Respecting ahlulbait is one of the religious advices that is starting to be ignored in the social community because it ignores textual and contextual understanding in hadith. whereas ignoring a comprehensive understanding of hadith can lead to inaccuracies in action. The understanding of respect for ahlulbait experiences theological dynamics between sunni and shia, so this issue needs to be returned to the primary sources of Islam, namely the Qur'an and Hadith. Through the theory of understanding textual and contextual hadith, this paper concludes that respecting ahlulbait is an act that must be selective, in ubudiyah it is to be followed but not to be fanatical, while in the mu'amalah dimension, everything is returned to the validity of the sanad and understanding the matan of hadith through the syarah book. The results of this paper conclude that respecting ahlulbait has a hadith that is valid and hasan without any presence at the same time sitting together regarding the views of sunni and shia who claim each other, the difference is that ahlulbait in sunni has a broad scope, while in shia ahlulbait only limited to the Prophet Muhammad, Siti Fatimah, </span><span lang="IN">shahabat</span><span lang="EN"> 'Ali Ibn Talib karramallahu wajha, Sayyidina Hasan and Husein.

This article presents the results of an analysis of the social and recreational value of waves at Icaraí Beach, located in Caucaia municipality, Ceará, Northeast Brazil. The evaluation of the wave resource followed the Zonal Travel Cost Method, a fundamental tool for obtaining economic estimates ​​of ecosystem services that are not subject to market forces. The method provides a valuation of unique abiotic resources that underpin tourism, sporting and recreational economies. For data collection, 50 questionnaires with open and closed questions were administered from February to July 2019 to a specific audience, the local surfers. The social value of Icaraí’s surf break is strongly related to the surfers' familiarity with the beach, as well as in the perception of the wave resource as a profitable attraction for the local economy. It is estimated that the economic benefit of the surf break at Icaraí Beach is US$ 288,364 per annum, which is spent by 1,185 surfers, averaging US$ 1.37 for each surf trip. In summary, the values ​​reflect economic benefits for the municipality of Caucaia and can assist decision-making processes, contributing to the protection and maintenance of the beach by incorporating wave resources into an effective coastal management strategy. Keywords: Value of waves. Surfers. Surfing. Cost of Travel Method. Coastal Management.
