Food becomes one of main income of tourism sector which supports Gross Domestic Product. Food and beverage is also suspected to be the tourists’ motivation for travelling. People, publicly, and government recognize it more as culinary. However, there is a view that argumentation which is constructed by public seems to be not accordance with the real situation. Gastronomy, which accommodates foodshed, cooking, until foodscape and human behaviour, is perceived to be more appropriate as a comparison argument. Related to that matter, in this paper, researcher is trying to study and to compare two-sided definition of terminology over culinary and gastronomy as a way to eliminate argumentum ad populum. Keywords: culinary, gastronomy, foodshed, foodscape, argumentum ad populum

Social care refers to work that involves connecting with other people and trying to help them meet their needs, such as caring for children, the elderly, and sick people. Teaching is also a form of caring labor, whether it is paid or unpaid. Social care is a unique type of work. Since social care does not generate financial resources and does not contribute to economic production as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the classical definition of work has not considered it as proper work (Folbre, 2006).

The reasonability of the construction of classificatory rankings of societies and related theoretical implications are considered in this paper. I argue that existing classificatory rankings are based on the essentialist views and represent societies as homogenous entities whereas they ignore intra-societal variety. Moreover, the quantitative methodology and methods which underlie those rankings are based on the etic approach and use concepts and indicators which are constructed in the west and don’t reflect indigenous socio-cultural dynamics. Besides, existing rankings simply equalize particular aspects to the whole societal development. For example, gross domestic product is equalized to the level of societal development; however, it actually can’t fully reflect even the situation in the economic field. Though it can be still reasonable to use such impersonal indicators as gross domestic product or longevity which are based entirely on impersonal data and are free from subjective interpretations, for the exploration of general tendencies in particular fields, however, we should restrain ourselves from invalid generalizations. Krys et al. proposed to elaborate culturally sensitive approach, however, still remained in frame of the etic approach, whereas I argue that the only way for the comprehensive and deeper assessment of the level of societal development is to construct a fully emic and indigenous approach that implies the usage of only locally constructed concepts during the definition of indicators. Those indigenous concepts most probably won’t be translatable to other languages that make the aim of the creation of a unified scale theoretically impossible; however, this is the only way for getting valid results at least concerning particular societies with current methodological apparatus. The solution to this issue requires further theoretical development and methodological innovations.

An outline of the concept of sustainable development is followed by a definition of the term ‘economics’ and a brief review of attempts to use economic principles to construct an integrated indicator to replace gross domestic product. Arange of proxy indicators is described; these are based on what is possible in countries that have minimal fisheries data and where fishers are making decisions on the crudest economic information.

Abstract The review starts by stating that modern communication technologies do, without doubt, influence several domains of human behaviour, including the domain of language. The reviewed title focus on peculiarities with one of these new ways of communication, namely, communication on two prominent social networks. The review gives an overview over structure in the book, and comments on its scope. The core of the books’ research is located in the second part of the monograph, where changes in ortography and some other features, such as use of emoticons, are observed in excerpts from Facebook and Twitter corpora, counting 18 000 tokens both. The review concludes that typology of ortographical differences, proposed by the book, is accurate and reflects the real situation.

The article defines the basic principles of budget policy formation as a tool for socio-economic development of the country. Budgetary policy has been found to be a powerful tool for ensuring macroeconomic stabilization and further activation of economic development processes. The necessity to study the impact of budgetary policy on the development of the real sector of the economy, to identify the problematic aspects of budgetary regulation of economic growth, to determine the directions of increasing the effectiveness of budgetary policy in the system of socio-economic development of the country is stressed. The main indicators of the budget system in the structure of the gross domestic product of Ukraine are described: revenues of the consolidated budget of Ukraine, expenditures of the consolidated budget of Ukraine, state debt. It is noted that the growth of budget expenditures and gross domestic product of the country is achieved through expansion of aggregate demand in the country, additional financial infusions, which have a positive impact on the pace of socio-economic development. It has been found out that use of the mechanism for financing the priorities of public financial policy at the expense of deficit funds allows to increase money supply in the economy of the country and to create preconditions for its involvement in the real sector of the economy. The features of formation of the mechanism of revenues and expenditures of the budget distribution between different levels of the budget system are generalized and systematized. It is stated that the structure of state budget expenditures is also characterized by a predominance of current expenditures over capital. It has been found that stimulating the development of the real sector of the economy is possible by increasing capital investment, deficit financing included. It is noted that the main source of capital investments in the economy of Ukraine at present is enterprises and organizations own funds. It is proved that the reorientation of government debt policy to financing the development of export and high-tech industries of the national economy is significant. Provision has been made for the feasibility of using public-private partnership mechanisms, which will make it possible to align existing budgetary resources with the volume of state guarantees and increase the efficiency of use of public financial resources in general.

The tourism sector is one of the sectors that contribute to the creation of gross domestic product in Jordan and in accordance with the stated estimates, this sector accounts for about 10% of the gross domestic Product. Thus, there is a justification regarding the interest of the so- called tourist industry which became one of the most important sectors in most of the countries; so there is a continuous effort to develop this sector and reap the benefits of that in relation to the different economies. Jordan has a comparative advantage due to its strategic location, historical monuments, religious places, as well as the possibility of using the therapeutic, educational and recreational tourism and others in the near future. In the current time we have to develop a strategy for tourism choices, as well as a clear vision about the touristic quality, which aims at developing it. Therefore, we can say that there is a need to expand the overall usefulness of tourism by educating the people involved with tourism and highlighting its role and economic usefulness. Thus, this study addresses the definition of the concept of tourism promotion and its relationship with the concept of tourism marketing as a broader context, in addition to showing the importance of the internet in tourism promotion, and the requirements of their application, given the speed of the successive changes in the tourism work environment both on the national and international levels. The study focuses on identifying the extent of the information technology impact in general and the internet in particular as well as applying them in the touristic offices that are available in Wadi Mousa by highlighting the efficiency of the website on activating tourism, planning for the touristic area and identifying the impact of the network as a means of communication between the elements of touristic attraction in the touristic area and between the tourists regardless their nationalities. The results showed that the information accuracy via the internet in terms of the touristic offices increases the touristic attraction. The results also showed that emphasizing the activation of tourism promotion advertisements as well as the ideal planning for the programs and touristic services via the internet through the websites, particularly the government websites that provide valid information is the only means for solving all the problems of tourism promotion. In the light of the competitive and structural challenges facing the industry and agriculture sectors, the tourism sector is considered as the most prepared one in the short as well as the medium run in order to contribute to reaching the hoped growth rates, creating work opportunities as well as increasing the resources.

The study examined the determinant of private sector credit and its implication on economic growth in Nigeria. The fluctuation in the supply of money and credit is the basic causal factor at work in cyclical process; when money supply falls, prices decrease, profit decrease, production activities become sluggish and production falls and when money supply expands, price rise, profit increase and the total output increases and finally growth takes place. The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between Private Sector Credit and Gross Domestic Product. Data were obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. Simple regression analysis was used to achieve the stated objective. It was revealed in the determinant of credit supply equation 1 that there was significant relationship between Total credits to private sector and money supply in Nigeria. It was also discovered in the Private Sector Credit and Economic Growth Equation 2 that there was significant relationship between private sector credit and economic growth in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that there should be persistence increase of money supply to Nigerian economy in order to increase the flow of credit to the real sector of the Nigerian economy, financial institutions should distribute more credit to the real sector for productive purposes in order to increase Gross domestic product.
