Access to common property resource and poverty reduction: inland open-water fisheries in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, experiences from good practices for a Common Property Resources (CPR) identified that it is necessary to choose CPR members from the resource users with clearly defined rights to use the resource with defined physical boundary. The long-term security of tenure is a precondition for establishment of common property resources in the water bodies by the users (mainly fishers and adjoining agriculturists of the water body) themselves. The sustainability of such CPRs depends on the equity in sharing expenses and income; monitoring by the users themselves; graduated sanctions for violations of CPR rules; and development of local forums for resolving conflicts.Resource management

Message and Medium: The Role of Social and Individual Factors in Using Computer Mediated Communications
The proliferation of computers and technology has resulted in increased use of computer mediated communications. However, the effective use of technology like bulletin boards and e-mail based communications can only be obtained if we understand how to enhance employee usage. Although human-computer interface has been a topic of considerable studies, most research has been done with students and under controlled conditions. In addition, field research has been limited in its inclusion of both social and individual factors that affect usage. In order to expand this research we report the results of a longitudinal study conducted within an entrepreneurial software company that used an innovative bulletin-board communication system. Our study uses employee survey data to measure social and individual factors that encompass attitudes toward the computer system. In addition, we obtained actual employee usage (copies of all postings to the bulletin board system) for the 12-month period of time following our survey. In addition to reporting the results of our study, we discuss implications of this work for other forms of computer mediated communications
Weighted Estimates for the Bergman and Szeg\H{o} Projections on Strongly Pseudoconvex Domains with Near Minimal Smoothness
We prove the weighted regularity of the ordinary Bergman and
Cauchy-Szeg\H{o} projections on strongly pseudoconvex domains in
with near minimal smoothness for appropriate generalizations of
the classes. In particular, the Muckenhoupt type condition
is expressed relative to balls in a quasi-metric that arises as a space of
homogeneous type on either the interior or the boundary of the domain .Comment: 40 pages, introduction reorganized and some typos correcte
