An Evaluation of the Cooperative System in the Philippines
The Philippine cooperative system has been characterized by success and failure. This paper explores the reasons for the circumstances, the problems plaguing the system and its implications on the movement in general. A review of various studies is conducted.cooperative system
Architecture for Provenance Systems
This document covers the logical and process architectures of provenance systems. The logical architecture identifies key roles and their interactions, whereas the process architecture discusses distribution and security. A fundamental aspect of our presentation is its technology-independent nature, which makes it reusable: the principles that are exposed in this document may be applied to different technologies
Grimoires: Grid Registry with Metadata Oriented Interface: Robustness, Efficiency, Security --- Work-in-Progress
Grid registries allow users to discover resources made available by Grid resource providers. In this paper, we present our on-going work on a next-generation registry, initially designed as part of the myGrid project and to be part of the OMII Grid software release. Specifically, we discuss the support of semantic service descriptions and task/user-specific metadata, along with related performance and security considerations

An Exploration of Computational Text Analysis of Co-Design Discourse in a Research-Practice Partnership
In combination with contextualized human interpretation, computational text analysis offers a quantitative approach to interrogating the nature of participation and social positioning in discourse. Using meeting transcript data from the development of a co-design research-practice partnership, we examine the roles and forms of participation that contribute to an effective collaboration between a multileveled school system and researcher partners. We apply computational methods to explore the language of co-design and multi-stakeholder perspectives in support of educational improvement science efforts and our theoretical understanding of partnership roles. Results indicate participation patterns align with documented roles in co- design partnerships and highlight the space dedicated to process reflection, context sharing, and logistical coordination

Knowledge retention level among pre-school teachers in conducting pre-school children vision screening
Certain public service pre-school teachers have been trained as vision screeners of children. However, there are no
studies that assessed the knowledge and skills retention of these screeners. This study determines the level of knowledge
retention among pre-school teachers who have been trained to perform vision screening on children. In 2013, 180 KEMAS
pre-school teachers were recruited in a vision screening training which included both theory and practical sessions.
Teachers were assessed through a theory test which comprised of 15 questions, firstly a category on the preparations
needed for vision screening and secondly on the implementation of vision screening. They were then asked to conduct
pre-school vision screening annually at their working premises. In 2016, 136 teachers who had been involved in the
earlier program were recruited as subjects in this study. All these subjects answered the same set of theory test questions
used in 2013. The Studentās t-test result indicated that the mean theory test scores obtained by the pre-school teachers
in 2013 (84.3 Ā± 7.8) differed significantly with the mean scores obtained in 2016 (67.5 Ā± 11.3) (p < 0.001). The mean
scores in 2013 for questions in the first and second categories were 4.5 and 4.4, decreasing to 4.2 and 3.7 in 2016. The
knowledge level of pre-school teachers thus decreased with time and this effect was found significant after 3 years. There
is therefore a need to conduct re-certification training, so that the screening conducted by these pre-school teachers
remains effective and in accordance with established standards
