The key to benefits admin savings: onboarding the right way
[...]79% of the benefits technology implementations we completed last year were with employers who previously used paper-based enrollment forms. [...]the broker can manage this step. A benefits administration platform provides an automatically generated report showing which dependents will soon turn 26, allowing for direct communication about who needs to be dropped from coverage. · COBRA is automatically triggered when an exiting employee’s benefits are terminated on the benefit administration system, cutting down on paperwork and the time spent to manage this process manually.

The Social Construction of Disability in Occupational Therapy: An Examination of Muriel Driver Lectureships (1975-2009)
Disability is a core concept in rehabilitation sciences, and specifically in occupational therapy. Critical disability theory challenges the ways that disability is understood, and disability scholars have challenged rehabilitation professionals to reconsider how they conceptualize disability. The way that disability is given meaning is central to the profession of occupational therapy because it can influence client-therapist interactions, treatment plans and interventions, research agendas, services offered, and the development of policy. In my research, I address the need to examine how disability has been given meaning in occupational therapy. I adopt an overarching critical theoretical approach informed by social constructionism to examine the meaning of disability in the profession of occupational therapy. The objectives of the research include examining: a) how disability is presented in occupational therapy literature; b) what this tells us about the ideological, political, and theoretical underpinnings of disability; and c) what the dominant discourses of disability are in occupational therapy literature. I draw on methods developed by Fairclough to conduct a critical discourse analysis of highly influential Canadian occupational therapy texts (Muriel Driver Memorial Lectureships). The analysis is presented in two parts, discussing: (1) how disability has been broadly defined or described in the texts through written language and visual images; and (2) the existential meaning of disability in the texts. The implications of text and dominant discursive practices related to disability on the professional practices of occupational therapy are discussed. Critical examination of how disability is conceptualized in occupational therapy allows for the consideration of alternative views of disability, which are likely to influence future occupational therapy theory, practice, and knowledge.

A pathway analysis candidate gene approach to seasonal reproductive timing in mammals with a focus on Period and casein kinase 1 in Peromyscus
This thesis chronicles three methods to apply molecular and gene function knowledge derived from model species to non-model species of ecological interest for the complex trait of seasonal reproductive timing. 1) Selective amplification of specific gene regions with reported polymorphisms and/or genotype-phenotype relationships from model organisms in polar bear (Ursus maritimus ), flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus and volans) and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) yielded 1 synonymous polymorphism in 40 fragments. 2) Amplification of Per1 Ex2 in various species was performed to compare distance estimates between seasonally constrained and unconstrained breeding mammals with the result supporting no significant difference between the groups. 3) mRNA sequencing of Peromyscus leucopus and maniculatus from varying latitudes at Per1, Per2, CK1ϵ and CK1δ was performed with regions of interest being analyzed at a larger scale. 112 polymorphic sites were found with three sites suggesting a latitudinal cline in both species. Additionally, a polymorphic polyglyciene repeat motif was discovered near the C-terminal end of Per1. Keywords: Candidate genes, seasonal reproductive timing, photoperiod, clock genes, Period, casein kinase 1

Education Letter: We need to be multilingual
Alan Bright's article, \"Should we learn foreign languages\" (EDUCATION, 9 December), raises important issues regarding the motivation of non-English speakers to learn the language spoken by - as he puts it - the remaining superpower in the world (and also sung by the most influential pop stars of the world). His critical view exposes a number of commonly held assumptions (we're no good at languages etc) as simply not getting to the issue in question: \"foreigners\" are highly motivated to learn English because it opens many doors to communication - not just with speakers of English but also as a common mode of communicating. We can't, after all, learn everybody's language.
