Fisheries management in the United States, the European Union, and other parts of the globe, increasingly reflects a burgeoning realization that fisheries management policies affect not only fishermen, but also the broader communities in which fishermen work and reside. Understanding fishing communities, however, is not a straightforward task. Researchers draw upon many methodologies across diverse disciplines in the attempt to better understand the needs of fishing communities and the ways in which fisheries management programs affect these communities. This special issue draws together international research on fishing communities, highlighting the diverse relationships between people, places and their fish and fisheries. Rather than attempting to consolidate these complex, multifarious relationships into simple metrics, the papers presented in this issue illuminate community needs and wants from a variety of frameworks highlighting the importance of meaningfully understanding local contexts. These papers represent novel frameworks and case studies, adding depth of scholarly knowledge to a relatively understudied segment of fisheries management. Specifically, the goal of this issue is to advance the inclusion of community considerations in fisheries management processes. While approaching the topic of fishing communities from diverse perspectives, the papers in this special issue work together to provide a broad view of the concerns and conflicts existent in these communities. They highlight the need for management endeavors to be flexible, broad, and inclusive, providing potential tools and frameworks to aid in management projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a study which focuses on the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, as well as the economic role of the commercial paper market. It says that the commercial paper market is being used by commercial banks and financial institutions to acquire short-term external funding. It also mentions that the CPFF was designed to provide additional source of funding to institutions in order to minimize the reinvestment risk.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate energy intake among young women, comparing this with estimated energy requirement and the distribution of macronutrients in the diet. An evaluation was made of 119 female nutrition students at a public university in the State of São Paulo, aged between 19 and 30 years. Their food intake was evaluated by means of a food record for 3 nonconsecutive days. For the calculation of the estimated energy requirement and acceptable macronutrient distribution range, the approach proposed by the Institute of Medicine in the United States was used. The energy intake in the group studied was less than the estimated energy requirement (P < .00). With regard to macronutrients, 12% of the students had a carbohydrate intake that was less than the recommended quantity. The energy intake in the form of fat exceeded 30% for 22% of the group studied. The within-subject variability in energy and macronutrient intake was similar to that presented by American women at the same stage of life. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
