Abstract

Time is an ubiquitous element associated in a variety of ways in almost all activities in all domains. In this part of the series we discuss certain selected areas – evidence-based studies – in which knowing the exact time and period is quite important, for example support for decision-making in health care, history, archaeology and allied subjects, law, etc.
