Acknowledgement Sample for thesis

This paper investigates Pakistani doctoral thesis acknowledgements from genre analysis perspective. A corpus of 235 PhD thesis acknowledgements written in English was taken from Pakistani doctoral theses collected from eight different disciplines. HEC Research Repository of Pakistan was used as a data sources. The theses written by Pakistani native PhD students, and submitted to Pakistani HEC recognized universities during the last five years, from 2008 to 2012, were selected for the collection of acknowledgements data. Swales’ (1990) conception of genre analysis in its modified form was followedfor the investigation of genre moves. In the initial stages, Hyland’s (2004b) coding scheme was utilized but due to broad socio-cultural differences between Hyland (2004b) and the present study, some other models such as Al-Ali (2010) were also sought for the coding of certain generic components. The analysis revealed seven moves along with certain sub-units or steps. These seven moves and their steps resulted from socio-cultural norms, academic traditions and institutional practices of acknowledgement writing in Pakistan.

The present study shows the bulk mineralogical composition of the Bara Formation from Lakhra anticline, near to Lakhra coalfield area of the Sindh province of Pakistan. The petrography, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractommeter were used for the detailed mineralogical investigations. Quartz, feldspars, hematite, gypsum, chlorite and goethite minerals were obtained from above methods. Quartz, feldspar and chlorite minerals indicated that the sediments were transported from igneous and metamorphic rocks and the hematite and goethite indicated the continental environment for the studied formation. Mineralogical investigation of the Bara Formation indicates that the sediments were supplied from the Igneous and metamorphic rock terrane. It can be said that the Bara formation sediments were supplied from the Igneous and metamorphic complex which is exposed in the southeastern part of the studied area.

Las nuevas tecnologías y los medios digitales plantean nuevas posibilidades educativas, dando paso a lo que se conoce como e-learning. Sin embargo, contar con estos medios no garantiza sin más el conseguir los mejores resultados de aprendizaje, pues también se requiere la implantación paralela de nuevos modelos pedagógicos. Estos modelos afectarán tanto al diseño de los materiales educativos en formato digital, como al modo de utilización de los mismos en el aula. Los objetos de aprendizaje son la principal opción a la hora de crear los materiales educativos. En este artículo se hace una breve introducción de los conceptos básicos sobre objetos de aprendizaje y sobre algunos principios metodológicos fundamentales a la hora de diseñar estos materiales educativos en formato digital contenidos en los objetos de aprendizaje. En el resto de los artículos de este monográfico se describen distintas experiencias reales a la hora de poner en práctica esta "digitalización" del aula, demandada por un nuevo modelo educativo en respuesta al uso de las nuevas tecnologías en el aula.
