El presente trabajo plantea el desarrollo un proyecto de diseño de interiores para la primera tienda insignia de la marca Massimo Dutti en Perú. La propuesta se plantea en la Casa Prado y busca, a través del adecuado diseño de los espacios, otorgarle a los clientes experiencias adicionales a la compra- venta de productos. Por esta razón, se proponen nuevos espacios como un salón vip y un coffee bar, para establecer la fidelización de los clientes con la marca. Por otro lado, la adecuación de la fachada con nuevos espacios de exposición, las cápsulas con maniquíes y la pasarela cubierta por una tensionada proporcionan espacios no convencionales de exposición y que innovan en la industria. Por último, el proyecto apuesta por un diseño integral al proporcionar nuevos espacios de reunión, la revaloración de un edificio con valor histórico y la propuesta de una fachada verde. / This research work proposes the development of an interior design project for the first Massimo Dutti’s flagship store in Peru. The proposal is loacated in the Casa Prado and seeks, through the appropriate design of the spaces, to grant customers additional experiences in the sale of products. For this reason, new spaces such as a VIP lounge and a coffee bar, are proposed to establish customer loyalty with the brand. On the other hand, the adequacy of the façade with new exhibition spaces, the capsules with mannequins and the runway covered by a tensile estructure, provide unconventional spaces of exhibition, innovating in the industry. Finally, the project is committed to an integral design by providing new meeting spaces, the revalue of a historical building and the proposal of a green façade. / Tesis

Text in Afrikaans / This research describes the coats of arms and emblems of hospitals and nursing colleges in the Republic of South Africa, an aspect of nursing's heritage and history have not yet been described. Data were collected by means of questionnaires. An extensive literature review on heraldics and an analysis of the meanings contained in the symbols appearing on these devices were done. The analysis resulted in the following; the uniqueness of the individual devices, the development of nursing and nursing education, the influence of values, norms, ideals, culture, religion and history on the selection of symbols. The heraldic meanings of symbols and the meanings indicated in the questionnaires were compared with the identified core concepts for nursing. The overall finding was that any congruence was purely circumstantial. / Hierdie navorsing beskryf die wapens en embleme van hospitale en verpleegkolleges in die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, 'n aspek van die erfenis en geskiedenis van verpleging wat nog nie vantevore beskryf is nie. Inligting was deur middel van vraelyste ingesamel. 'n Uitgebreide literatuuroorsig oor die heraldiek en 'n ontleding van die betekenisse van die simbole soos aangetref op die wapens/embleme, is gedoen.Uit die analisering is die volgende bevind; die uniekheid van die individuele wapens/embleme, die ontwikkeling van verpleging en verpleegonderrig, die invloed van waardes, norme, ideale, kultuur, godsdiens en geskiedenis op die keuse van simbole. Die heraldiese betekenis van simbole en die betekenis wat in die vraelyste daaroor aangedui is, is met die geidentifiseerde kembegrippe vir verpleging, vergelyk. Die algemene bevinding is dat enige ooreenkoms bloot toevallig is. / Health Studies / M.A. (Verpleegkunde)

This thesis examines Alexander�s conception of kingship, his relationship with royal traditions in the three great kingdoms of the Near East, and the concomitant transformation of the king�s court by which Alexander created a distinctive royal insignia and introduced new court personnel and protocol. Section I ("Alexander and Near Eastern Kingship") contains Chapters I, II, and III. Section II ("The Transformation") comprises Chapters IV to VI. In Chapter I, I examine the Macedonian background of Alexander�s court and his native conception of kingship. Chapter II is a study of the kingship of Egypt. Chapter III deals with the kingship of Babylon and Persia. I then turn to an analysis of Alexander�s policies towards the Persians and the concept of the "kingship of Asia," as this was understood by Alexander. This crucial concept is to be distinguished from the kingship of Persia, a position which Alexander supplanted and replaced with his personal kingship of Asia. In Section II, three chapters are devoted to an analysis of the transformation of Alexander�s court. Chapter IV covers the origin and significance of Alexander�s royal insignia. Chapter V examines the introduction of, and the role played by, Persians and easterners in the king�s court; and Chapter VI the significance of other Persian court offices.

Focus of this Master Thesis is evolution of the traditional form of academic clothing and its projection in the concept of younger design during the 20th and 21st century in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part deals with general history and origin of European academic gowns. The features of textile materials are compared here. Then the descriptions of current designs of academic clothing at selected universities in the Czech Republic are presented. The practical part deals with design of new academic gowns for The Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia. There is an extensive photographic documentation at the end of the thesis.

The issue of a sceptre for the newly founded Faculty of Science was first discussed on the meeting of Faculty professors on the 25th November 1921, more than a year after the separation of the Faculty of Science from the Faculty of Arts. The commission elected from among the professors proposed a motion that the new Faculty sceptre should resemble the sceptre of the parental Faculty of Arts. Through a mediation of the Ministry of Education and National Enlightment the design of the new sceptre was ordered from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design and it was elaborated by prof. Jaroslav Horejc. However, in January 1923, his design was rejected, because it didn't meet the requirements of the professors' conservative approach. When prof. Horejc refused to make a modified copy of the sceptre of the Faculty of Arts, the professors addressed Tengler, the goldsmith who had made the sceptres of other faculties and of the rector in previous years. Alois Tengler was willing to make a modified copy of the sceptre of Faculty of Arts, but he also proposed a new design (with estimated price of 20 000 K), which the professors found more suitable and subsequently this design was adopted. Tengler committed himself to manufacture the sceptre by the 15th November 1924 and to incorporate any additional design...
