COOP 2010 is the 9th edition of the International Conference on
Designing Cooperative Systems, being the second European conference
in the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work after ECSCW.
The conference brings together researchers who contribute to the
analysis and design of cooperative systems and their integration in
organizational community, public and other settings, and their
implications for policy and decision making. Cooperative systems
design requires a deep understanding of collective activities,
involving both artifacts and social practices. Contributions are
solicited from a wide range of domains contributing to the fields
of cooperative systems design and evaluation: CSCW, HCI,
Information Systems, Knowledge Engineering, Multi-agents,
organizational and management sciences, sociology, psychology,
anthropology, ergonomics, linguistics.
COOP 2012 is the tenth COOP conference, marking twenty years from
the first conference in 1992. In this special anniversary edition
we asked researchers and practitioners to reflect on what have been
the successes and the failures in designing cooperative systems,
and what challenges still need to be addressed. We have come a long
way in understanding the intricacies of cooperation and in
designing systems that support work practices and collective
activities. These advances would not have been possible without the
concerted effort of contributions from a plethora of domains
including CSCW, HCI, Information Systems, Knowledge Engineering,
Multi-agent systems, organizational and management sciences,
sociology, psychology, anthropology, ergonomics, linguistics, etc.
The COOP community is going from strength to strength in developing
new technologies, advancing and proposing new methodological
approaches, and forging theories.

Livestock is an important component of agriculture sector and
contributes colossally in the national economy of Pakistan. Among
livestock water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is very important because
of its high milk yield to meet the protein requirement of the
growing Pakistani population. However, gastrointestinal trematodes
parasite especially Gastrothylax crumenifer is a main cause for
health hazards in buffalo of central Punjab. In this study
prevalence and identification of Gastrothylax crumenifer was
carried out by visiting local abattoirs of Rawalpindi-Islamabad. A
total of 265 rumens and reticulum of buffaloes was examined for the
presence of Gastrothylax crumenifer. The trematodes were preserved
in 70% alcohol for identification based on its morphological
characteristics. The results of present study revealed that 18.8
percent Gastrothylax crumenifer infection was recorded in central
Punjab. The correlation between worm burden and area was found to
be non-significant (p > 0.05) indicating the presence of
trematode in all districts of study area.
Birds of prey had a large home range and inhabit areas which were
far away from human access. It was difficult to estimate their
population as they were distributed over large area. Kites (Milvus
migrans) often gathered in large communal roosts during migration
and at the site where food was abundant and breeding colonies. The
present study was done to estimate the population of kites in
Lahore District. Roost Count Method was used for population
estimation. Four sites were visited and there population was
estimated, it was found that an average of 356 kites were present
on an average at any roost.
Livestock is an important component of agriculture sector of
Pakistan and contributing significantly in its national economy.
However, gastrointestinal trematodes parasite especially
Paramphistomum cervi is accountable for health hazards in buffalo
of central Punjab. In this study prevalence and identification of
Paramphistomum cervi was carried out by visiting local abattoirs of
Rawalpindi-Islamabad. A total of 289 rumens and reticulum of
buffaloes was examined for the presence of Paramphistomum cervi.
The trematodes were preserved in 70% alcohol for identification
based on its morphological characteristics. The results of present
study revealed that out of 17.3 percent Paramphistomum cervi
infection was recorded in central Punjab. The correlation between
worm burden and area was found to be non-significant (p > 0.05)
indicating the presence of trematode in all districts of study
area.There are several factors contributing in the survival and
development of P. cervi in central Punjab including the
availability of fresh water snails serving as intermediate host,
existence of extensive water channel system and poor grazing
management of animals being practices in these areas.

The major role of self-directed learning (SDL), a sub-division of
autonomy, in successful learning at distance education has been
confirmed by various studies. Although learners pass General
English courses before studying any ESP courses at distance
education of Iran, they usually lack the preliminary skills for
independent language learning. The current study aimed to explore
the effect of self-directed training (SDT) on ESP learners'
self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) and their academic
achievements in ESP courses. The results revealed that SDT enhanced
ESP learners' SDLR and their academic achievements in the
corresponding ESP courses. Moreover, no difference was observed
between the male and female learners' SDLR and ESP scores. The
findings imply that an appropriate training is needed to improve
learners' SDLR. It can contribute to a successful ESP learning at
distance learning.
