Aim/purpose – We want to draw academics and market practitioners attention to threats form political risk’s area that affect national financial markets in both developed and developing economies. Design/methodology/approach – We analyzed the wide concept of political risk on the basis of international literature as well as national statistical data and international comparative indicants for selected developed and developing economies around the world. Findings – Growing significance of political risk was signaled, although both types of economies are exposed to different aspects of the threat. We confirmed that developing states are threatened by bigger number of political bothers, whereas advanced countries are susceptible to some forms of violence. Research implications/limitations – Imply that economies with better economic stance have lower level of political risk, although, their highly developed and integrated financial markets are responsible for the transfer of analyzed risk. Unfortunately, the scarcity of reliable time series about political risk hampered a deeper empirical analysis. Originality/value/contribution – Presentation of political threats to financial market stability.

The concept of threat and defense concerns an individual, social group but also – in a wider understanding – policy of every state, which is emphasized by researchers of this issue. To be able to refer to the issue of threat and defense in both epistemological and ontological sense, one should identify a specified social group or state, i.e. create a sociological layer, which enables to distinct the characteristic, unique elements. This paper attempts to first shortly discuss the aspect of threat and defense of national interests using the example of Japan after the so-called Meiji Restoration and second prove that in the case of this country, as in no other, the question of defense as a reaction to threat, reaches far into social culture, maintaining historical continuity, enriched with elements derived from the Western culture. Starting point for these deliberations on the subject of Japanese specificity in relations to perceiving threat and defense is definition proposed by Juliusz Piwowarski, who indicated few important components, which altogether compose the concept of threat and defense.

Crime is an inseparable part of society and for the fact that place, time and society are inextricably interwoven implies that the conceptualization of the spatial aspect of crime is imperative. By adopting crime pattern and social disorganization theories, while using neighborhoods as the unit of analysis, we examined how crime behavior varies in an urban context. This was achieved by using Location Quotient of Crime (LQC) to identify and represent robbery, assault and threat agglomerations, as well as neighborhood in risk areas. The result of our analysis suggest that most neighborhoods had a relatively higher LQC for robbery, assault and threat crimes as compared to the city as a whole with quite a significant proportion of assault incidence in neighborhoods located near educational facilities. This paper also shows the usefulness of LQC in understanding crime behavior pattern at a micro level. A strong linkage between robbery, assault and threat crime incidents and key land use types were also established.

Methane threat has accompanied miners in the Wieliczka salt mine since the very beginning of salt extraction. Methane leaks caused serious impediments in safe conduct of underground work, whereas methane ignition and explosions resulted in burns and fatalities among the mining personnel. Increased probability of occurrence of this dangerous gas existed with respect to work in the “spiz” salt deposits and in the vicinity of southern and northern border of the bed. It also accumulated in significant amounts in the Crystal Grottoes and in their direct vicinity. Manners of eliminating methane threat changed throughout history: from preventive methane burning, improvement of ventilation and modern techniques of methane detection. Mining regulations were also used to ensure safety.
