Setting a Trend: Feminisation of the Commercial Bank Sector in Sweden, 1864-1975

When Stockholms Enskilda Bank hired two women in 1864, it waspresumably the first bank in the world to do so. The fashion ofhiring women gradually spread, and bank telling became femaledominated.We describe and analyze this process, identifying threeperiods in the feminization of the Swedish commercial banksector. Economic, institutional, technological, and cultural factorswere all instrumental in

Mathematics Communication within the Frame of Supplemental Instruction : Identifying Learning Conditions

In the Swedish context teaching at primary and secondary school is combined with collaborative exercises in a variety of subjects. These collaborative moments can be in the form of mini projects that groups of students are supposed to present to the classmates when fulfilled. A collaborative moment may also be an exercise that the students solve together. The main idea is thus that the students le

Attention to speech-accompanying gestures: Eye movements and information uptake

There is growing evidence that addressees in interaction integrate the semantic information conveyed by speakers’ gestures. Little is known, however, about whether and how addressees’ attention to gestures and the integration of gestural information can be modulated. This study examines the influence of a social factor (speakers’ gaze to their own gestures), and two physical factors (the gesture’s

Non-WSSUS Vehicular Channel Characterization at 5.2 GHz - Spectral Divergence and Time-Variant Coherence Parameters

The scattering environment in vehicle-to-vehicle communication channels at 5.2 GHz changes rapidly. Hence the wide-sense stationary (WSS) uncorrelated scattering (US) assumption for the fading process is valid for short time intervals only. We characterize the spectral divergence of the local scattering function (LSF) sequence in order to assess the non-WSSUS characteristics in different scenarios
