Affaire de Bétharram : en 1998, les ratés de la justice face aux agresseurs présumés
Le dossier judiciaire de l’époque mettant en cause le père Silviet-Carricart, auquel « Le Monde » a eu accès, relève deux défaillances majeures dans la procédure. La première concerne cet ancien directeur de l’établissement scolaire privé, la seconde l’ex-surveillant Damien S., aujourd’hui mis en cause dans une centaine de plaintes.

What is the equivalent of Dunning-Kruger but for when an electorate installs an aggressively stupid populist who destroys much of the technoscientific knowledge of that nation but the electorate is not sufficiently educated to comprehend what is being destroyed until their infrastructures and health systems start failing?

A devastating overnight attack in Kyiv has killed at least 16 people and wounded over 110 more.
This is just the latest in Russia's intensified offensive that has made April the deadliest month since last September.
Right now, 5 million Ukrainian refugees are scattered across Europe,
while 3.7 million people remain displaced inside their own country.
Families are fleeing for their lives as attacks spread across eastern, southern and northeastern regions.

WebGuard++:Interpretable Malicious URL Detection via Bidirectional Fusion of HTML Subgraphs and Multi-Scale Convolutional BERT
URL+HTML feature fusion shows promise for robust malicious URL detection, since attacker artifacts persist in DOM structures. However, prior work suffers from four critical shortcomings: (1) incomplete URL modeling, failing to jointly capture lexical patterns and semantic context; (2) HTML graph sparsity, where threat-indicative nodes (e.g., obfuscated scripts) are isolated amid benign content, causing signal dilution during graph aggregation; (3) unidirectional analysis, ignoring URL-HTML feat…

Inference for Error-Prone Count Data: Estimation under a Binomial Convolution Framework
Measurement error in count data is common but underexplored in the literature, particularly in contexts where observed scores are bounded and arise from discrete scoring processes. Motivated by applications in oral reading fluency assessment, we propose a binomial convolution framework that extends binary misclassification models to settings where only the aggregate number of correct responses is observed, and errors may involve both overcounting and undercounting the number of events. The mode…

Cost for research -- how cost data of research can be included in open metadata to be reused and evaluated
The openCost project aims to enhance transparency in research funding by making publication-related costs publicly accessible, following FAIR principles. It introduces a metadata schema for cost data, allowing aggregation and analysis across institutions. The project promotes open access and cost-efficient models, benefiting academic institutions, funders, and policymakers.
