Gender construction starts with a sex category which becomes a gender status through the use of gender markers. Gender markers are so prevalent that we often fail to notice them, unless they are missing. What are gender markers? How do we react when there are no markers/signs?
Once a child's gender is evident, treatment is gender specific, and children begin to respond in learned ways. How is treatment gender specific? Give specific examples.

a) (20’) Please plot the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios in a two-dimensional graph with total effectiveness along the horizontal axis and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios along the vertical axis.
b) (20’) If saving a life is valued at $10,000, what is the optimal number of team members sent?
c) (20’) Suppose the WHO has a total budget of $150,000 to be spent on fighting this epidemic. How would your answer to b) change?
2. Patient BN is a 36-year-old female with a type of organ failure that reduces her quality of life to half of what it would be in good health. Without treatment she can expect to live only two years. With a successful transplant, BN can expect to live four years and have a quality of life that is near 80% what she would enjoy in good health. However, the transplant costs $100,000, plus $10,000 each year for drugs and follow-up care, and carries a 15% risk of rejection resulting in immediate death.
a) (20’) What is the cost per additional year of life gained (without discounting for time or quality of life)?
b) (20’) What is the cost per discounted Quality-adjusted Life-year (QALY) gained (assuming a 5%-time discount rate)?
