For more information see source. Subject group ""Languages, cultural studies"" has been renamed ""Humanities"". Former group ""Veterinary medicine"" has been added to group ""Agricultural, forestry and nutritional sciences, veterinary medicine""; the values have been retrospectively adjusted to all years presented.
