The topic of the thesis is devided into three parts. In the first part I am describing marketing and brand theoretically and cosmetics market in general. In the second part I am analyzing the strategy of the Helena Rubinstein brand worldwide. Third part concentrates on Helena Rubinstein brand on the Czech market.

Magister Artium - MA (History) / In the following two chapters I will attempt to offer a more systemic account of St. Helena immigration to South African between 1838 and 1948. To date, no such study has been undertaken, despite a vibrant oral tradition amongst the descendants of St. Helena immigrants celebrating their St. Helenian heritage and often, in peculiar fashion, romanticise their Island of provenance. The commencement date for my chosen timeframe emerges from a need to authenticate rather tenuous historical accounts of St. Helena’s first mass emigration for the Cape of Good Hope in 1838. Where cases of migration are discussed, these are either incidences of large-­scale 41, often aided, migration and settlement, or of those St. Helena migrant workers initially employed under temporary contacts to work in South Africa, specifically within burgeoning industrial sectors of the late-­nineteenth or early-­twentieth century South Africa.

Magister Artium - MA / For an Island measuring merely 128 square kilometers, and in spite of its remote location in the mid-­South Atlantic, St. Helena “punches way above its weight in history”, earning and occupying a privileged place in British scholarship of its imperial thalassocratic age. However, prior to this period in which the Island was indispensible to British Empire formation, it had passed through the hands of at least two former European naval nations before it was eventually laid claim to and effectively colonised by the British. The Portuguese, who were the first to stumble upon the uninhabited Island in 1502 -­ naming it St. Helena in honour of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great’s mother -­ managed to keep its existence a closely guarded secret for over eight years. For nearly a century, the Island was reserved for exclusive use by the Portuguese as a port for recuperation, replenishing and re-­provisioning, which they usually visited on their homebound journey from trading (and conquering) in the East Indies. This Portuguese monopoly of use of the Island, however, ended during the last decade of the sixteenth century when other maritime nations, particularly Dutch and later English traders, became aware of and started frequenting the Island. The initial overlap period, constituting the first three decades of the seventeenth century when mostly the Dutch and Portuguese shared use of the Island, was cause for occasional hostile encounters between the two nations. Apparently, continued Dutch and English harassment of Portuguese (and Spanish) ships made visiting the Island untenable for the Portuguese who opted to avoid St. Helena and instead make use of a number of their other port ‘possessions’ along the West African coastline to replenish and repair their ships.

This study attempts to demonstrate the singular synthesis of influences and compositional techniques represented by the work Cartas Celestes (Celestial Maps) for piano by José Antonio Rezende de Almeida Prado (born in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, on February 8, 1943). Although Almeida Prado, clearly one of the more influential Brazilian composers, wrote a vast repertoire for all genres, his piano works are fundamental throughout his compositional career. This significant body of work allows one to track his evolution as a composer and to define the changing characteristics of his style within the different phases of his trajectory. This study will examine Cartas Celestes Volumes IVI, Almeida Prado's most important work for piano solo, with particular attention to Volume I. This document will also discuss "Transtonalism," the "System of Organized Resonances," and the Twenty-Four chords, all created by him. The examination of Cartas Celestes Volume I will focus on Almeida Prado's innovative compositional devices and techniques. In addition, this study will investigate the most important aspects of Almeida Prado's music, including timbre exploration and the use of the piano with emphasis on touch, attacks, pedaling, pianistic gestures, and technique.

This thesis deals with evaluation of members of the Czech community of Romanian Banat perspective on social aspects of the construction and operation of local wind power. The theoretical part deals with clarification of general terminology and subject matter referring to the topic. The subject matter of the practical part is based on structured interviews carried out in the surveyed area that analyze perspectives of members of the Czech community living in the village of St. Helena on the social aspects of the construction and operation of local wind power. The conclusion contains suggestions for practical application of results.

No. of bitstreams: 0 / A pesca na região do lago de Itaipú tem sido uma das maiores preocupações da Itaipú Binacional e outras organizações envolvidas, devido a escassez do peixe no lago, causada pelo aumento do número de pescadores profissionais e pelo crescimento da pesca predatória promovendo a escassez do peixe ultimamente, complicando a vida do pescador profissional que depende da pesca para sua sobrevivência. Apesar da conscientização, alguns pescadores, mesmo sabendo das implicações e proibições que a lei impõe durante o período da piracema, praticam a pesca clandestinamente. Neste sentido, sugere-se o incentivo ao desenvolvimento sustentável mediante a utilização do turismo em parceria com a pesca profissional no período da piracema, tornando a atividade da pesca auto-suficiente, incorporando novas possibilidades de manutenção das espécies de peixes e favorecendo a melhoria da qualidade de vida do pescador. A fim de alcançar esse objetivo, necessita-se resgatar a importância da preservação da natureza para obter o equilíbrio ecológico entre seres humanos, animais, plantas e o meio ambiente onde vivem para que esta atividade possa garantir a sobrevivência das gerações futuras, ou seja, promover o desenvolvimento sustentável. Essa proposta de modelo de gestão sustentável para a pesca surgiu da observação e acompanhamento da situação da pesca e da verificação de necessidade de atuação destes profissionais no turismo local. The fishing in the region of Lake Itaipu has been one of the greatest worries of the bi-national Itaipu and other organizations involved in due the fish shortage in the lake, caused by the increasing of professional fishermen and by the increasing of predatory fishing promoting the fish shortage lately, complicating the professional fishermen's life who depends on fishing to survive. In spite of being conscious, some fishermen, even knowing the implications and prohibition that the law imposes during the fish reproductive period, practice clandestine fishing. Thus, the incentive to maintainable development per the utilization of tourism in partnership with professional fishing in the fish reproduction period is suggested, making the fishing activity auto sufficient, incorporating new possibilities to fish species maintenance and promoting the betterment of fisherman's life quality. In order to reach this goal, it is necessary to redeem the importance of nature preservation in order to get the ecological balance between human beings, animals, plants and the environment where they live, in order to ensure the future generations survival, that is, to promote maintainable development. This model of maintainable management proposal for fishing arose from observation and accompaniment the fishing situation and verification the need of action by the professional fishermen on the local tourism.

Numerosos trabalhos têm estudado variados aspectos desta unidade, no entanto, sem se aprofundar no conhecimento da composição das rochas siliciclásticas, relevante para a interpretação paleoambiental e pós-deposicional. Buscando contribuir com a construção do conhecimento de sua história deposicional e diagenética e posteriores influências tectônicas, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar o significado deposicional e diagenético da composição mineral e das características cristalográficas, químicas e petrográficas das rochas siliciclásticas da Formação Serra de Santa Helena (Grupo Bambuí) ao longo de um transecto W-E. Este é traçado desde a região goiana de Padre Bernardo (meridiano 48°30), nas proximidades da zona interna da Faixa de Dobramentos Brasília (FDB), até a Serra de São Domingos (meridiano 46°50) no estado de Minas Gerais, limite entre a zona externa da FDB e a zona cratônica. Por geoquímica e petrografia foi possível inferir o ambiente tectônico-deposicional e as rochas presentes na área-fonte dos sedimentos constituintes da Formação Serra de Santa Helena como, respectivamente, orógeno reciclado e terrenos formados por rochas máficas-intermediárias, com contribuição de sequências sedimentares-metassedimentares. A decomposição do pico d(001) dos difratogramas de raios x, associada com a análise da largura à meia altura, indicou condições de diagênese para as rochas da Formação Serra de Santa Helena. O estágio diagenético alcançado pela Formação Serra de Santa Helena é mais alto quanto mais próximo do centro do orógeno, que chega à anquizona, evidenciando a influência dos esforços tectônicos sobre a cristalinidade da illita. É também possível que haja contribuição das nappes do Grupo Canastra, evidenciando que a carga tectônica exerceu influência sobre a cristalinidade dos argilominerais. Exceções constituem zonas de falhas, onde o calor gerado pelo movimento pode elevar a cristalinidade dos argilminerais. / The Bambuí Group comprises a sequence of neoproterozoic carbonatic and terrigenous rocks outcropping in a vast area of central Brazil, constituting part of the Brasilia Fold Belt and extending over the São Francisco Craton. Numerous researchers have studied various aspects of this unit, however, without delving into the composition of siliciclastic rocks, relevant to the paleoenvironmental and post-depositional interpretation. Aiming to contribute to the construction of knowledge about depositional and diagenetic history and subsequent tectonic influences over the sedimentary sequences of Bambuí Group, this work aims to present the mineral, crystallographic, chemical and petrographic characteristics to infer the depositional context and diagenetic conditions of siliciclastic rocks of Serra de Santa Helena Formation (Bambuí Group) along a W-E transect. This section extends from Padre Bernardo (Goiás state, meridian 48 ° 30), near the inner zone of the Brasilia Fold Belt (Faixa de Dobramentos Brasília - FDB) to the Serra de São Domingos (meridian 46 ° 50) in the state of Minas Gerais, limit between the outer zone of the FDB and the cratonic domain. Using data from geochemistry and petrography analysis was possible to infer the tectonic-depositional setting and the litotypes present in the source area as, respectively, recycled orogen and sequences formed by mafic-intermediate rocks with contribution of sedimentary-metasedimentary origin. The decomposition of the X-ray diffraction patterns, associated with the analysis of the width at half maximum, indicated diagenetic conditions for rocks of the Bambuí Group. The diagenetic stage reached by the Serra de Santa Helena Formation is higher the closer to the center of the orogen, showing the influence of tectonic stress on illite crystallinity. It is also possible that there is contribution from nappes of the Canastra Group. Exceptions are fault zones, where the heat generated by the movement can increase the clay mineral crystallinity.

AtravÃs da Teoria da Residualidade, pretendemos demonstrar as influÃncias culturais, histÃricas e ideolÃgicas recebidas por nosso povo, principalmente no que concerne aos preceitos catÃlicos. Todavia, pretendemos comprovar serem essas manifestaÃÃes, remanescÃncias da mentalidade medieval do sÃculo XIII. Apresentada atravÃs de resÃduos, essa mentalidade originou um imaginÃrio hÃbrido que colonizou o pensamento moral de nosso paÃs. à tambÃm nosso intuito comprovar que o romance Helena evidencia as virtudes dos personagens do enredo, como forma de perpetuar esses valores morais. Por fim, enfatizaremos a conduta da protagonista Helena, como exemplo de dignidade ilibada. / This research, linked to on line literature and history, aims to highlight the presence of Christian moral values present in the work Helena by Machado de Assis. Through the Theory of Residuality, we intend to demonstrate the cultural, ideological and hysterical received by our people, especially when it concerns me to Roman Catholic beliefs. However, we intend to prove these manifestations are remnants of the medieval mindset of the thirteenth century. Submitted by waste, that mentality led to a hybrid imagery that colonized the moral thinking of our country. It is also our intention to prove that the novel Helena highlights the virtues of the characters of the plot, as a way of perpetuating these moral values. Finally, emphasizing the behavior of the protagonist Helen, as an example of dignity unblemished.

I, Blavatsky is a one-act opera based on the life of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a nineteenth-century Russian princess and co-founder of a religious organization called the Theosophical Society. The libretto, by the composer, involves a cast of three principal soloists and minor roles for six more singers who are also participants in a small chorus. The text format features free verse alternating with regular, rhymed strophes. Accompaniment is provided by a piano. Melodic structure combines some nineteenth-century Romantic idioms with twentieth-century style. Most of the melodic and harmonic material was intuitively composed to express the text. Rhythmic and stylistic contrasts are accomplished in the representation of the extensive travels of the main character. Stage directions involve a stylized set, several scenes requiring minimal set changes, magical effects to represent that facet of Blavatsky's life, and onstage costume changes for several characters. Approximate duration is one hour.

Entre 1970 e 1984, a jornalista e escritora Helena Silveira dedicou-se à crítica televisiva nas colunas Helena Silveira Vê TV e Videonário, publicadas no jornal Folha de S.Paulo. A dissertação pretende resgatar essa produção jornalística, observando-a a partir do instrumental teórico dos estudos culturais. O primeiro capítulo trata dos conceitos de experiência e estrutura de sentimento, além de se referir a trabalhos dos estudos culturais acerca da experiência da televisão. O segundo capítulo apresenta um perfil da jornalista Helena Silveira e os diferentes momentos de sua atuação na empresa Folha da Manhã entre as décadas de 1940 e 1980. O terceiro capítulo procura refletir sobre a natureza da crítica televisiva, com destaque para o modo particular como Helena Silveira a desenvolveu, fazendo uso de um tom próximo da crônica. O quarto capítulo avalia como, no âmbito da crítica de TV, é possível reconhecer a promoção do prestígio da telenovela, sua fixação como produto capaz de produzir identificações e prazer. O quinto capítulo procura resgatar uma dimensão política latente em muitos textos em que Helena Silveira dialogou com o clima de expectativas e esperanças da chamada abertura política, considerando a importância da TV no contexto de redemocratização do país / Between 1970 and 1984, journalist and writer Helena Silveira devoted herself to television criticism in the columns Helena Silveira Vê TV and Videonário, published in Folha de S.Paulo newspaper. This dissertation aims to rescue this journalistic production, using the theoretical frame of cultural studies. The first chapter deals with the concepts of experience and structure of feeling and with works of cultural studies about the experience of television. The second chapter presents a profile of journalist Helena Silveira and the different moments of Folha da Manhã between the 1940s and 1980s. The third chapter seeks to think about the nature of television criticism, highlighting the particular way in Helena Silveira has developed it, making use of a chronicle tone. The fourth chapter analyzes how, in the context of television criticism, it is possible to recognize the promotion of prestige of a genre like telenovela and at the same time, its attachment as a product able to create identification and pleasure. The fifth chapter intends to rescue a latent political dimension in many texts in which Helena Silveira write about the climate of expectations and hopes for the end of the dictatorship in Brazil, considering the importance of TV in the context of re-democratization of the country
