In this chapter, I argue that the locus of freedom should be seen as socially constituted practices and ways of life rather than individual actions.

Chapter 13 focuses on Luxembourg, which sits near the top of several regional and international indexes for ICT development, digital economy and society, and technological readiness, and hosts an impressive and growing number of data centres along with the regional or global headquarters of major internet and e-commerce players. The country’s small size, highly connected nature and financial strength translate into the active cooperation of service providers in criminal investigations in both domestic and cross-border situations. Drawing on interview-based research, this chapter provides an international audience with a targeted overview of the Luxembourg legal framework, the ways in which it has adapted to developments at the international and EU levels (Budapest Convention, European Investigation Order, Law Enforcement Directive) and the practical as well as legal challenges relating to the various forms of cooperation between service providers and law enforcement authorities. It offers a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of national data retention rules and discusses the potential impact of the new European Production Order on service providers in Luxembourg.

Many patients will have received sleep hygiene, or at least be aware of it. Although it is minimally effective as a stand-alone treatment for insomnia, along with sleep education, it is an important part of multicomponent CBT. They both help contextualise other key therapeutics within CBT (e.g., sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control therapy, or the evening wind-down routine). The chapter covers the key lifestyle and bedroom factors that comprise sleep hygiene, and how to communicate these to patients. Next, this chapter introduces the ‘5 principles’ of good sleep health, which describe the importance of (1) valuing, (2) prioritising, (3) personalising, (4) trusting, and (5) protecting sleep as a framework for supporting good sleep.

I discuss my work on diversified treatment under ambiguity. I begin with a simple illustration and then provide the formal analysis. I consider the deontological issue of possible societal preference for equal treatment. I discuss adaptive diversification, which is possible when a planner treats a sequence of cohorts over time.

Chapter 1 sets the stage by discussing the intersection of Assyriology and the history of science. This chapter defines the cuneiform scribal-scholarly knowledge termed ṭupšarrūtu in Akkadian as a basis for understanding the scope and character of cuneiform science.

Few, if any, political thinkers of the eighteenth century dealt as thoroughly and extensively with the concept of political party as David Hume. This chapter considers Hume’s various essays that treated the phenomenon of party between 1741 and 1758. In his first essays on party, he showed how both the Whig-Tory and Court-Country alignments were integral to British party politics, with the former dividing the political nation along dynastic and religious lines and the latter being a natural expression of the workings of the mixed constitution and inter-parliamentary conflict. In this way, he sought to transcend the arguments of the Court Whig ministry and the Country party opposition alike. Writing a new set of essays in the wake of the Jacobite rising of 1745, Hume turned to the parties’ ideological systems, as he tried to show that neither the Whig system of the ‘original contract’ nor the Tory system of passive obedience held water if philosophically probed, but that they could both have salutary consequences. While critical, Hume continued to give a fair hearing to both parties in his final essay on the subject, ‘Of the Coalition of Parties’ (1758). Though he ultimately wrote in favour of the Glorious Revolution and the Hanoverian Succession, this chapter concludes that Hume may have approximated the ideal of non-partisanship as far as was possible in a divided society.

This chapter reviews the perspectives and levels of an analysis that inform how an observation is made. This is done by demonstrating that there are two perspectives (language use and the human factor) and five levels (summation, description, interpretation, evaluation, and transformation) of analysis in discourse analysis. These perspectives and levels can be used to understand the frameworks of established methodologies, such as conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, and narrative analysis. After reading this chapter, readers will know that the analytic process can combine different perspectives and levels of analysis.
