Jan Svanberg – författare

Ett nytt sätt att berätta om några av Stockholms mest märkvärdiga kulturskatter: stadens kyrkor. Med hisnande grafik och 600 bilder guidar boken till historien, till spåren av stockholmarnas liv under sekler, till de dolda tecknen och hemligheterna. Vad är det speciella med just den här kyrkan? Kyrkorna är stadens äldsta byggnader, de äldsta är till och med äldre än staden. De har använts i 800 år och de är öppna för alla. Boken vänder sig till stockholmare, både nya och gamla, som är intresserade av att upptäcka sin stad och dess historia. Även för mera långväga gäster är boken avsedd att vara en välkomnande guide.

The formal proceedings for the canonisation of Birgitta Birgersdotter necessitated the production of manuscripts of her Reuelaciones celestes. The task of editing the texts had been entrusted to Alfonso of Jaen, who delivered the finished selection, arranged in seven Books, with additional material to a workshop in the Naples area. The vellum manuscripts, sumptuously produced and beautifully illuminated by two masters and their assistants, were delivered to the members of the two successive canonisation commissions and to Kings, Queens and noblemen throughout Europe. Only three of these manuscripts are known to exist today. In August 1372, before the oldest manuscripts were produced, Niccolò di Tommaso had painted Birgitta having her vision of the Nativity of Christ in Bethlehem. Imagines Sanctae Birgittae traces the history of the three Neapolitan manuscripts and analyses the composition and artistic embellishment of them and their copies. Niccolò’s three surviving panel paintings with the Nativity motif are also discussed and compared to his portraits of Queen Joan of Naples and some of her friends. Vol. I contains two monographs, 5 monochrome reproductions, tables and a bibliography. Vol. II contains 106 reproductions in colour.

Folkungatiden har aldrig upphört att fascinera. Det var en dramatisk tid, då viktiga grundstenar lades i det svenska samhällsbygget, och den har fått en lysande och suggestiv skildring i Erikskrönikan. I denna bok behandlas nordiska furstebilder som kan sättas i samband med Folkungarna. Jan Svanberg är professor i konstvetenskap och expert på medeltida konst.

This handbook collects the most up-to-date scholarship, knowledge, and new developments of big data and data analytics by bringing together many strands of contextual and disciplinary research. In recent times, while there has been considerable research in exploring the role of big data, data analytics, and textual analytics in accounting, and auditing, we still lack evidence on what kinds of best practices academics, practitioners, and organizations can implement and use. To achieve this aim, the handbook focuses on both conventional and contemporary issues facing by academics, practitioners, and organizations particularly when technology and business environments are changing faster than ever. All the chapters in this handbook provide both retrospective and contemporary views and commentaries by leading and knowledgeable scholars in the field, who offer unique insights on the changing role of accounting and auditing in today’s data andanalytics driven environment. Aimed at academics, practitioners, students, and consultants in the areas of accounting, auditing, and other business disciplines, the handbook provides high-level insight into the design, implementation, and working of big data and data analytics practices for all types of organizations worldwide. The leading scholars in the field provide critical evaluations and guidance on big data and data analytics by illustrating issues related to various sectors such as public, private, not-for-profit, and social enterprises. The handbook’s content will be highly desirable and accessible to accounting and non-accounting audiences across the globe.
