COMPARATIVE ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON THE EVOLUTION OF TOURISM TRAFFIC IN PRAHOVA AND BRASOV COUNTIES
The paper analyzes the comparative development of tourist traffic in the counties of Prahova and Brasov, the main indicators for assessing values, numbers of tourist arrivals and overnights number, being studied as econometric time series. The economic crisis triggered worldwide began before 2009 also in travel industry, has important effects at national level in Romania territorial. Studied in this context is the tendency of tourist movement in Prahova and Brasov counties, and recording developments oscillatory growing up in 2008 and a significant decrease in the year 2009. Conclusions of the analyzed phenomena show that the results are the effects of the emergence of financial bottlenecks that led to a significant drop in income population and therefore in important reduction of the tourist arrivals and of the overnight stays in these counties. However, it is expected a revival of tourist traffic in Prahova and Brasov counties, after economic recovery of Romania.
Tourism Implications in Economic Growth. A Cybernetic Approach
Economists, mathematicians, statistics specialists have given rise to an actual theory of economic growth that makes up the background for the interdisciplinary theory of economic modeling, by founding and drawing up static or dynamic models, economic-mathematical or economic-environmental models. Among all these approaches, the tertiary or service field has become dominant in the post-war period, with the service market ranking ever more importantly, encompassing extremely varied activities, heterogeneous in terms of content, yet taking distinct manifest shapes. In the same time, in a systemic approach, the services-field is a complex and dynamic cybernetic system with its own structure interconnected within the cybernetic system of the national/world economy.
Organic geochemical characteristics and depositional setting of Tertiary organic-rich sediments from onshore Penyu Basin, Malaysia
Due to the poor knowledge of the organic facies characteristics of the eastern Chenor Pahang has made it remain an untapped potential in the Penyu Basin. Therefore, detailed geochemical and petrographic characterization of the Tertiary organic facies of the eastern Chenor area of the Penyu Basin was carried out to characterized its organic matter (OM) source input. Towards achieving the goal, this study focuses on determination of organic matters richness, type and origin as related to their paleoenvironmental conditions of the carbonaceous mudstone and shale using organic petrography combined with organic and inorganic geochemistry. The sedimentary succession is characterized by fine to coarse grained sandstone occurring in association with carbonaceous mudstone and shale in a predominantly fining upward sequence within a lacustrine environment. These facies are generally enriched in organic matter as indicated by the TOC results, hydrocarbon yield (S2) and extractible organic matter (EOM), suggesting significant hydrocarbon generation potential for the area.
