Metaphors and their use as a rethorical vehicle are examined. Two texts, one in Chinese and one in Swedish, are compared and analyzed to determine the extent to which the associations they create successfully capture the author's intent. Seecondarily, a shift from the assumptions that rhetorical analyses often assume (read: antiquity and Aristotles) to a more abstract internal human platform is suggested. Neurological and cognitive research is cited in support of this shift.The essay examines the question: How can metaphoric contribute to conveying the Communicator's intention? By comparing metaphorics used by an historical Chinese rhetor with those used by a contemporary Swedish rhetor.

Det arbete som har utförts under våren och sommaren 1999 på Siemens Elema och som behandlas i denna rapport, hade som mål att implementera säkerhetsfunktioner i ett dokumenthanteringssystem för patientjournaler.Arbetet baseras på ett testsystem bestående av en applet och en servlet som i princip hade samma funktionalitet som det tilltänkta dokumenthanteringssystemet (loggade in användare, hämtade en fil från server, möjliggjorde för användaren att ändra i filen och till slut sparade filen på servern). Följande säkerhetsfunktioner implementerades:- Säker inloggning med dubbel, stark autentisering med certifikatsystem. Inloggningsproceduren undviker att skicka användarens lösenord över nätet.- Säker, krypterad dataöverföring med SSL- Digitala signaturer som ger positivt bevis av att ett sparat dokument på servern har skickats in av en viss användare.Hela systemet implementerades i Java 1.2 med standardkomponenter, som är fritt tillgängliga utan kostnad. Beslutet att använda Java 1.2 som utvecklingsplattform medförde att flera problem uppstod p.g.a. att säkerhetsfunktionaliteten i Java 1.2 (senare kallad Java 2) är relativt ny, oprövad och stödet för den är ännu inte fullt implementerat i de webbläsare som är mest vanliga (Netscape Communicator och InternetExplorer4). Dessa problem är delvis lösta eller kan kringgås och systemet kan nu installeras och köras på en vanlig PC, via en vanlig webbläsare..

The purpose of this paper is to examine the correlation between hotels, their brands and the frontline staff within the industry. A competitive, international environment characterizes today´s hotel industry where brands are one of the strongest sources for a successful position amongst competitors. In the brand delivery, the front line staff is of utmost importance since they in many ways incorporate the brand values and the projected identity of the hotel. Hotels can use a variety of ways to communicate the brands identity to the front line staff in order to create the desired brand behavior, some more effective than others. At the same time the Swedish hotel industry, as many other, is characterized by a high percentage of staff turnovers.
