This paper’s urgency consists in the need for the most effective using of the human capital for counteraction to security threats related to social-economic and political systems in all areas of activity. The paper’s subject is connected with developments, which are conducted in Nature Management and Environmental Security (NM&ES) Chair of the State University of Management in the frame of scientific school “Risk Management and Security Assurance for Social-Economic and Political Systems” which head is the Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Professor, Doctor of Engineering Ya.D. Vishnyakov. The problem has global character, and within the country becomes an issue of national security ensuring. Therefore this paper subject is included into one of above-mentioned scientific school’s research directions — “Strategic Risk Management and Ecological-Economical Damage Assessment in Social-Economic and Political Systems”. Considering all range of the modern world threats and their catastrophic consequences it is possible to tell with confidence that the existing civilization is the risk one. It is common knowledge that so-called «human factor» (HF) plays the essential role in the origin of accidents and catastrophes leading to emergency situations. This factor’s negative role can be manifested in the lack of timely intervention, wrong intervention, correct, but untimely intervention, excess or harmful intervention. In the research of the HF phenomenon it is necessary to reveal, first of all, not only it’s cause-effect relations with the emergency, but also to develop mechanisms allowing to use as much as possible opportunities which are put in the HF concept. First of all it belongs to vocational training of persons making crucial decisions on security assurance, their continuous self-improvement and education, increase of these persons’ rigor and responsibility. The security assurance problem solution demands not only a high standard for knowledge and abilities of experts on all management levels, but also understanding by them a huge responsibility for future world order. According to the Russian Federation’s National Security Strategy till 2020 the human potential development and Russia’s human capital role increase are the priority direction in country’s further successful development. In the conditions of natural and technogenic risk increasing and market competition strengthening, the knowledge management becomes a major factor of risk mitigation, security assurance of population and State’s economical objects, improving competitiveness. Only thus the modern civilization of risk, using the human capital’s intellectual power as a basis for the most effective human factor management, becomes a knowledge and risk civilization. This thesis understanding and adoption of urgent decisions on security assurance will allow mitigate all categories of risks at least by a decade in the coming years.

As the most important resource for life, water has been a central issue on the international agenda for several decades. Yet, the world’s supply of clean freshwater is steadily decreasing due to extensive agricultural demand for irrigated lands. Therefore, water resources should be used with greater efficiency, and the use of non-traditional water resources, such as Treated Wastewater (TW), should be increased. Reusing TW could be an alternative option to increase water resources. Thus, many countries have decided to turn wastewater into an irrigation resource to help meet urban demand and address water shortages. However, because of the nature of that water, there are potential problems associated with its use in irrigation. Some of the major concerns are health hazards, salinity build-up, and toxicity hazards. The objectives of this comprehensive literature review are to illuminate the importance of using TW in irrigation as an alternative freshwater source and to assess the effects of its use on soil fertility and other soil properties, plants, and public health. The literature review reveals that TW reuse has become part of the extension program for boosting water resource utilization. However, the uncontrolled application of such waters has many unfavorable effects on both soils and plants, especially in the long-term. To reduce these unfavorable effects when using TW in irrigation, proper guidelines for wastewater reuse and management should be followed to limit negative effects significantly.

Water scarcity has become one of the main global problems, since of all the water of the terrestrial surface, only 2.5% represents fresh water, and of this, only 0.3% corresponds to the water of the rivers and lakes that are available to supply the demand for food production and other uses. The present work consisted in surveying the scenario related to the global water crisis and presenting evidence that even Brazil being abundant in the amount of water available, tends to face serious problems because of its scarcity, affecting two of the main economic pillars, agribusiness and industry. It was observed that the main negative effects on water resources occur due to urban occupation and agricultural practices in a disorderly way, causing destruction of natural resources through the discharge of domestic sewage, industrial effluents and agrochemicals. In general, the lack of control of the use of the water directed to the productive processes is one of the major generators of the water shortage, since 69% of the water derived from rivers, lakes and aquifers underground is turned to irrigated agriculture, using 70 times more water than for domestic purposes. Thus, it is necessary to adopt policies aimed at the conservation and efficient use of water resources, to value water as a social, social and environmental good, since their scarcity can generate instability in economic sectors such as agriculture, generating production insecurity in industry, as well as affecting the supply of drinking water, basic sanitation and public health.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developed countries represent an important part of their economic environment. They belong to accelerators of economic development in regions and countries. One of the specifications of SMEs is that they allow people to learn to use their own entrepreneurial skills. Thus, the success of SMEs depends on the skills of the person who is responsible for business management in the enterprise. Without skilled and competent managers no activity will be performed effectively. The development and changes in the economic environment, in which SMEs operate, cause the various reversals connected with uncertainty and the resulting risks. A competent person (owner/manager) in SME will need to anticipate these risks and develop appropriate mitigation and strategies for them. The owner/manager of SME should consider the fact, that there could be deviations in the realization process against the planned goal. This deviation presents the risk and the representative of SME should know, how it is possible to manage this risk. It means to reduce its negative impact. The lack of knowledge is a fundamental problem in the failure of most initiatives in the SMEs and the lack of experience can become a major risk to business survival. The goal of owners/managers in SMEs should be to reduce the possible errors and risks in that way that the SME gets into a situation in which it can anticipate changes, and it is able to respond to them and exploit them to their advantage. Each SME is unique and the risk may occur differently in comparison with other SMEs. Risk management and mitigation of risk are important to ensure the security of the company and its continuous development. The risk management in SMEs is perceived as a means of the improvement of SMEs’ success in their activities, due to the fact, that in most cases the unpredictable situations represent a serious loss-making exposure for the SMEs business sector which leads to the loss. For those SMEs whose capital base is insufficient, they can have catastrophic consequences in the case of realized activities, and they can lead to financial losses and subsequently to possible bankruptcy. For this reason, risk management is a prerequisite for minimization of the negative effects of unexpected situations. Still, a lot of SMEs rarely carry out process-related activities risk management. It is affected by limited resources (financial, human), which SMEs have, and which process risk management. There is a wide range of studies focused on risk management in SMEs, but only several of them are focused currently on the responsibility for risk management. This paper contributes to the dissemination of knowledge about the responsibility for risk management in SMEs and provides wider analysis in ways of responsibility for it. To reach the main of the paper, questionnaire surveys among 1018 Slovak SMEs were conducted. We compared the responsibility for risk management in SMEs between two groups of SMEs – technological and tourism from the point of view of sized category, and regional of SMEs. For the evaluation of differences and dependencies among three groups of respondents’ answers, according to their size category, economic branch in which they operate, and regional location, the Chi-square test was used. The associations among respondents’ answers were evaluated through Cramer’s V. The results showed the differences in responsibility for risk management among Slovak SMEs. The results of this study may provide implications for subsequent research focused on responsibility for risk management in the wider context.
