شيطان إستر كوكس : قصة المس الشيطاني الحقيقية التي باعت أكثر من 55 ألف نسخة
رواية \"شيطان إستر كوكس : قصة المس الشيطاني الحقيقية\" من تأليف والتر هابيل هي توثيق واقعي لأحد أشهر حوادث الاستحواذ الشيطاني في القرن التاسع عشر، والتي وقعت في بلدة أمهيرست بمقاطعة نوفا سكوشا في كندا بين عامي 1878 و1879. حيث يتناول الكتاب في بلدة أمهيرست الكندية، عاشت الشابة إستر كوكس تجربة مرعبة من نوع خاص، حيث بدأت تظهر عليها علامات استحواذ شيطاني غامض بعد تعرضها لصدمة نفسية. بدأت الأحداث بتجليات غريبة في منزلها: أصوات طرق عنيف، أشياء تتحرك من تلقاء نفسها، وكتابات تظهر على الجدران. ومع تصاعد الظواهر، أصبحت إستر مركزا لنشاط خارق لا تفسير له، مما أثار ذعر أسرتها والمجتمع المحلي. تدخل المحققون، من بينهم الكاتب والممثل المسرحي والتر هابيل، الذي قرر توثيق القصة بعد أن عاش بعض تفاصيلها بنفسه. في هذا الكتاب، ينقل هابيل تفاصيل دقيقة عن الأحداث، الشهادات، والتحقيقات التي أجريت، في محاولة لفهم ما إذا كانت إستر ضحية لقوى خارقة، أم أن هناك تفسيرا نفسيا أو اجتماعيا لما حدث. الرواية تمزج بين الرعب الواقعي والتحقيق الصحفي، وتعد من أوائل الكتب التي تناولت ظاهرة المس الشيطاني من منظور توثيقي، وقد لاقت رواجا واسعا، حيث بيع منها أكثر من 55 ألف نسخة.

Ludovico Domenichi's La donna di corte and the Paradoxical Representation of Female Perfection
Having dealt with the womanly virtues and what they share with male virtues in his work La nobilta delle donne (1549), Ludovico Domenichi focuses in La donna di corte (1564) on the amorous behaviour of a specific type of woman: the palace lady, the harmonious counterpart to the courtier. In this article, I analyze the underlying ambiguity of Domenichi's message. Making an effort to defend the perfection of women without being highly critical of men, Domenichi suggests that the emancipation implied by the public role of court entertainment is in fact constantly controlled through an education based on pudicitia and honesta. He has no intention of changing either the social order or the role of women. Apres avoir traite des vertus feminines et de ce qu'elles ont en commun avec les vertus masculines dans son ouvrage La nobilta et eccellenza delle donne (1549), Ludovico Domenichi s'interesse dans La donna di corte (1564) au comportement amoureux d'un type specifique de femme : la dame de cour, le pendant harmonieux du courtisan. Dans cet article, j'analyse l'ambiguite sous-jacente du message de Domenichi. En sefforcant de defendre la perfection des femmes sans pour autant etre hautement critique a l'egard des hommes, Domenichi suggere que l'emancipation impliquee par le role public du divertissement de cour est en fait constamment controlee par une education basee sur la pudicitia et l'honesta. Il n'a pas l'intention de changer ni l'ordre social ni le role des femmes.

A Tutorial on Palm Distributions for Spatial Point Processes
This tutorial provides an introduction to Palm distributions for spatial point processes. Initially, in the context of finite point processes, we give an explicit definition of Palm distributions in terms of their density functions. Then we review Palm distributions in the general case. Finally, we discuss some examples of Palm distributions for specific models and some applications.

Patronage and Humanist Literature in the Age of the Jagiellons
Every epoch has its artists, thinkers, and creators, and behind many of these people, there is a patron waiting in the wings. Patronage and Humanist Literature in the Age of the Jagiellons looks at the relationship between humanist scholars and their patrons in east central Europe during the early sixteenth century. It is the first study in English specifically to address literary patronage as it existed in this particular time and place.
Drawing on the writings of three itinerant scholar-poets associated with the courts of Cracow, Buda, and Vienna, Jacqueline Glomski argues that, even while they supported the imperial pretensions of the Jagiellonian monarchs, the humanist scholars of east central Europe also created effective propaganda for themselves by representing their own role in the conferring of fame upon their patrons. Using a wide array of source material, from dedicatory letters to panegyric and political literature, Glomski describes how important patronage was to the scholar-poets, and analyzes the process by which conventions of Renaissance humanism spread across Europe.
Patronage and Humanist Literature in the Age of the Jagiellons is an insightful historic account that is accessible to anyone interested in patronage at the time of the European Renaissance.

Web-Based Survival Analysis Tool Tailored for Medical Research (KMplot): Development and Implementation
Background: Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, enabling the assessment of clinical outcomes for disease progression and treatment efficiency. Despite its central importance, no commonly used spreadsheet software can handle survival analysis and there is no web server available for its computation. Objective: Here, we introduce a web-based tool capable of performing univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards survival analysis using data generated by genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, or metabolomic studies. Methods: We implemented different methods to establish cut-off values for the trichotomization or dichotomization of continuous data. The false discovery rate is computed to correct for multiple hypothesis testing. A multivariate analysis option enables comparing omics data with clinical variables. Results: We established a registration-free web-based survival analysis tool capable of performing univariate and multivariate survival analysis using any custom-generated data. Conclusions: This tool fills a gap and will be an invaluable contribution to basic medical and clinical research.
