Performing, embodying, and constructing gender.
You read quite a few readings about the social construction of gender. Give examples in your own loves how you might "perform" gender. Think about why you do it. What do you think this performance tells you about the gender? How does this performance reinforce gender norms? Can we use this performance to remake ideas of gender?

A Bloomington resident commutes to work in Indiannapolis, and he encounters several traffic lights on the way to work each day. Over a period of time, the following pattern has emerged:
- Each day the first light is green
- If a light is green, then the next one is always red
- If he encounters a green light and then a red one, then the next will be green with probability 0.6 and red with probability .4.
- If he encounters two red lights in a row, then the next will be green with probability p and red with probability 1-p.
Formulate a Markov Chain model for this situation (Identify states and find the transition matrix).

State laws vary in the degree to which employers are allowed to have access to information about the criminal history records of potential employees. In particular, Florida allows employers very open access, Michigan provides access for only some employers, and Tennessee provides access to no employers. Employers sometimes use the criminal history records to avoid hiring ex-offenders. As a result, ex-offenders in states where it is easier to find out who is an ex-offender have worse employment outcomes (lower wages) than ex-offenders in states with more restrictive laws. To test this hypothesis, a researcher surveys 50 ex-offenders each in Florida, Michigan and Tennessee. The average hourly wages for these ex-offenders are listed below by state.
= $7.94 = $8.20 = $9.40
nFlorida= 50 nMichigan= 50 nTennessee= 50
The grand mean is $8.51

History: Tracy Moore, a 29-year-old white
female, was transported by ambulance to the emergency room after
being rescued from her burning house. She was asleep at night when
a spark from the family fireplace started a fire, leaving her
trapped in her bedroom. By the time the fire rescue squad arrived,
she had suffered severe burns. Vitals at the scene were as follows:
HR = 110, BP = 150/90; R = 22, Temperature 100.1, SPO2 = 96% on
Room Air. You are given the following information about her
burns.
a. The back of her head is painful and sensitive to
touch, the area is white with moderate edema and her hair is
missing in places.
b. Her right hand is black and brown with minimal
sensation and the burn extends up the front and back of her right
arm to her shoulder.
c. Her right leg is red with no blisters and extremely
painful. There is moderate edema. The burn is covering the back of
her leg from her ankle to her buttocks.
1. What is the Total Body Surface Area burned based on
the Rule of Nines for burns a, b, and c?
2. For each of the burns in a, b, and c indicate the
type of burn based upon its description.
3. What type of pain management will Tracy require for
each of the burns? Explain your answers.
4. Name two complications Tracy is at risk for due to
her specific burns and discuss how you will manage these
complications.

There are three theories that explain exchange rate behaviour, two of these deals with how inflation rates affect the exchange rate. They are purchasing power parity (PPP) and International Fisher Effect (IFE).
(a) In reality, PPP does not hold. Even PPP holds, this does not consistently occur. Give two major reasons why PPP does not hold consistently. Explain in detail.
(b) Assume the spot exchange rate of Singapore dollar to US dollar is US$0.7420/S$. The one-year interest rate is 0.3% in U.S. and 6% in Singapore. What would be the spot rate in one year according to IFE?

Like all viral pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV 2, requires a cell surface receptor in order to invade a given host cell. For SARS-CoV 2, this receptor is actually the enzyme Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, or ACE2. ACE2 is responsible for downregulation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System by deactivation of Angiotensin II. Explain the RAAS in detail, including the roles played by kidneys and the lungs, and then explain what effects using recombinant human ACE2, or rhACE2, to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome could have on blood pressure.
