The primary concern of this article is to review the knowledge and ability of people to act to protect themselves and others in the face of various risks and hazards, and to manage accident and crisis situations. Relevant issues include the needs and requirements of emergency situations, people’s ability to respond to them, and factors that affect coping ability. The selected sub-areas are practiceoriented and defined in terms of real-world problems rather than theories or scientific concepts. One of the purposes of choosing to structure the review of risk, accident and crisis management psychology in this way is to emphasize the importance of human limitations and capabilities as an element in all areas of activity and responsibility. This approach, in turn, assumes that the review contains a broad theoretical base and multifaceted approaches, which are necessarily treated here rather generically.

The purpose of this study is to examine the behavior of bank lending in ASEAN economies. For this purpose, macroeconomic and bank related factors are identified from existing literature, defining the lending behavior. Data is collected from official sources like web pages, company’s annual report and online databases. A sample of five banking firm from four ASEAN economies is collected over 2011–2017 with annual observations. Regression analysis indicates the fact that both macroeconomic factors (GDP growth, inflation) are playing their significant role in defining the lending behavior of bank as measured through net loans and unused commitments. From bank related variables, liquidity ratio, risk, return on assets and equity are found to be significant determinant for bank lending. it is highly suggested that credit managers in banking firms, and related departments should use these findings as documentary evidence for the future decision making. Additionally, these findings are also useful facts for country administration, dealing with the macroeconomic factors and their direct influence on bank lending. However, various limitations are also observed which can be addressed in upcoming research studies. Sample size is limited to five banking firms from each state with seven years of time period. At second, specific macroeconomic and bank related measures are used which can be expanded in coming studies.

The paper attempts to highlight of the security crisis measures of internal and external of diplomatic mission before or after exposure of risk. Diplomatic missions represent their country, as an authority and an entity, concerning their diplomatic obligations towards the receiving State. The mission may be exposed to natural events such as earthquakes and floods or manmade events such as breaking thru a location for causing terrorism and electronic espionage. The employees, on their various levels and job positions, devotion to work and loyalty to their country, are the secret of their success in achieving the mission security. Security comes from the inside before being achieved from the outside. Working within a one-team-spirit increases the preparations for facing risk plus the incessant coordination with the receiving State governmental departments for reporting to them about any potential emergency that may occur. This increases the mutual trust between the mission of the guest country and the receiving State in crisis management. The evaluation of maintaining security success is a reflection to the receiving State power, the velocity and wisdom of the procedures taken by the mission of the guest country.

The internet space is the most important and affluent source of climate change related information. Hoverer information content are not always satisfying and threat of fake news and disinformation are very realistic. The analysis included top10 search results of four phrases (Climate change, Global warming, Adaptation to climate change and Climate change policy) using Google search engine. The phrases were searched in 11 Baltic Sea Region (BSR) languages and in the Ukrainian and English languages. The results revealed that climate change disinformation and misinterpretation exists on the internet. Mostly it displayed in indirect forms such as old information, existence of junksites, advertisements, unequal share by main actors (government, mass media, etc.). Moreover, on Eastern BSR languages, internet search results of climate change information are less convenient comparing to western BSR languages. The usage of multilanguage approach in Wikipedia pages could be one of the freshest and most reliable sources of information about climate change.
