Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24
- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"
said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine
A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …

Ce qui est intéressant dans la décision, c'est que la justice française s'aligne sur une classification faite par la justice allemande il y a 6ans (BGH Urt. v. 18.06.2020, Az. 4 StR 482/19). Le cas allemand était encore moins claire, car la volonté n'avait pas été relevé avec la même clarté. Selon le BGH, il suffisait que l'automobiliste était indifférent au sort des autres.

Le tribunal vient d’exiger que le géant pétrogazier intègre dans son plan de vigilance les émissions de ses clients. Une avancée significative.
