Prehistorical musical instruments have been explored in archaeology more systematically since the 1970s when music archaeology was established as a field of study.

We review the factorization theorem for the production of a heavy color-neutral final state with a transverse momentum much smaller than its invariant mass in the framework of soft collinear effective field theory (SCET). This phase space region is plagued by large logarithms of widely separated scales, including large logarithms of rapidity ratios, that need to be resummed for sensible results. I
Within the Swedish prison and probation service 80% of the officers on duty (which is a leadership position) are male.

Vildsvin är det klövvilt som idag ökar snabbast i Sverige. Den markanta populationsökningen är delvis hänförbar till den utbreda utfodring av vildsvin som görs av markägare och jägare. Detta leder till att vildsvin kan reproducera sig under hela året istället för till begränsade parningsperioder. Den ökande vildsvinspopulationen har skapat konflikter mellan jägare och markägare eftersom dessa har The essay examines the potential need for implementing a new structure of wildlife management to the wild boar.

This has led to an increased interest in analyzing if cooling only through ventilation
