Summary
Introduction
The landmark act of parliament known as the Equality Act 2010 received royal assent on 8 April 2010 and came into effect a few months later, on 1 October. It was the culmination of a legislative process that, by 2010, had lasted in the UK for at least 45 years, had been deeply influenced by parallel developments in other European countries and the US, and had entailed much campaigning and deliberating, and much organising and reorganising (Hepple, 2010). Its most promising features included (1) a general duty imposed on all public authorities not only to avoid adverse impacts of their policies and practices but also to promote greater equality of outcome, (2) specific duties whose purpose was to support, focus and clarify the general duty and (3) a holistic approach to non-discrimination, namely one that was based on the commonalities between different strands and facets of diversity such as age, disability, gender, race, religion and sexuality.
One significant and indeed foundational piece of reorganising occurred in the UK in 2007. During the last week of September that year, farewell newsletters were sent to their friends, contacts and supporters by the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC, founded in 1975), the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE, founded in 1976) and the Disability Rights Commission (DRC, founded in 1999). All three of these had been supporting an aspect of equalities legislation in England, Scotland and Wales. A few days later, on 28 September, all three would cease to exist as separate entities, and from 1 October 2007 onwards each would instead be part of a new body formed by each merging with the other two. The CRE told its friends it was becoming part of a body to be named the CEHR, the Commission for Equality and Human Rights. The DRC and the EOC, however, each made a slightly different announcement. They for their part, they said, were joining a body to be named as the EHRC, the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
At the time, the confusion did not appear to matter. Certainly it was trivial compared with other issues facing the fields of disability, gender and race equality at that time. Nevertheless, the confusion looked suspicious and ominous.

Flagellar dyneins are the molecular motors responsible for producing the propagating bending motions of cilia and flagella. They are located within a densely packed and highly organised super-macromolecular cytoskeletal structure known as the axoneme. Using the mesoscale simulation technique Fluctuating Finite Element Analysis (FFEA), which represents proteins as viscoelastic continuum objects subject to explicit thermal noise, we have quantified the constraints on the range of molecular conformations that can be explored by dynein-c within the crowded architecture of the axoneme. We subsequently assess the influence of crowding on the 3D exploration of microtubule-binding sites, and specifically on the axial step length. Our calculations combine experimental information on the shape, flexibility and environment of dynein-c from three distinct sources; negative stain electron microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Our FFEA simulations show that the super-macromolecular organisation of multiple protein complexes into higher-order structures can have a significant influence on the effective flexibility of the individual molecular components, and may, therefore, play an important role in the physical mechanisms underlying their biological function.

One important, but overlooked, risk mitigation device that facilitated the growth of the slave trade in the eighteenth century was the increasing availability of insurance for ships and their human cargoes. In this article we explore, for the first time, the relative cost of insurance for British slave traders, the underlying processes by which this key aspect of the business of slavery was conducted, and the factors behind price and other changes over time. Comparisons are also drawn with the transatlantic slave trades of other nations. As well as analyzing the business of underwriting slave voyages, we have two other objectives. First, we explore the meaning of slave insurance from the perspective of those directly involved in the trade. Was it about insuring lives or goods? Second, we provide new estimates of the importance of the slave trade to U.K. marine insurance. Did the former drive the growth of the latter, as Joseph Inikori has claimed?

In this paper we introduce a new method of projection-type inference and describe it in the context of two stage least squares–based split-sample inference on subsets of structural coefficients in a linear instrumental variables regression model. The use of the new method not only guards against the uncontrolled overrejection of the true value of the parameters of interest but also reduces the conservativeness of the usual method of projection proposed by Dufour and his coauthors (Dufour, 1997, Econometrica 65, 1365–1388; Dufour and Jasiak, 2001, International Economic Review 41, 815–843; Dufour and Taamouti, 2005, discussion paper; Dufour and Taamouti, 2005, Econometrica 73, 1351–1365; Dufour and Taamouti, 2007, Journal of Econometrics 139, 133–153).

Among patients admitted to psychiatric hospitals are some who are discharged undiagnosed. It can be expected that psychiatric patients, as patients in other medical specialties, who do not meet the criteria for any of the established diagnostic groups, will be considered as undiagnosed until the course of their illness and clinical picture makes the diagnosis evident. The undiagnosed patients are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Because in a space of five years, 256 patients left undiagnosed, it was felt that this group merited investigation.
