The United Nations`s (UN`s) Third International
Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa
The Addis Ababa Conference brings together governments, businesses and civil society to mobilize the resources needed to implement the UN`s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs - the foundation of the post- 2015 development agenda) and a new global climate agreement, both of which are due later this year. The Addis Conference is an opportunity for policymakers to turn rhetoric into action, by agreeing on the funding and fi nancial tools that can put the SDGs within reach.
The good news is that many of the solutions, technologies, and skills needed to achieve these global goals already exist. One important factor is the transition from cash to digital payments. There is growing evidence that digitizing payments boosts transactional effi ciency, reduces costs, improves transparency and accountability, unlocks domestic resources, and drives fi nancial inclusion in the places that need it most.
In Mexico, the government trimmed its spending on wages, pensions, and social welfare by 3.3% annually, or nearly US$1.3bn, by centralizing and digitizing its payments;
In India, a McKinsey study estimates savings for the government of over US$22bn annually through automated payments that help reduce transaction costs and fraud.
Not only can digital payments deliver major cost savings in straightened fiscal times, they also offer governments a rare boost on the revenue side of national ledgers. By bringing more people and businesses into the formal economy, digital payments can vastly expand a country`s tax base, providing new funds to invest in the drivers of productivity and growth.
The financial exclusion of so many people and businesses – all potential sources of economic growth – makes no sense, particularly at a time when growth is now slowing in much of the developing world. Figures like these also demonstrate why drafts on the Addis Accord prepared in advance of the conference repeatedly call for greater financial inclusion, including for women and SME (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises).

The good oil boys club
It should have been a day of high excitement. A public auction on July 15th marked the end of a 77-year monopoly on oil exploration and production by Pemex, Mexico`s state-owned oil company, and ushered in a new era of foreign investment in Mexican oil that until a few years ago was considered unimaginable.
The Mexican government had hoped that its firstever auction of shallow-water exploration blocks in the Gulf of Mexico would successfully launch the modernisation of its energy industry. In the run-up to the bidding, Mexico had sought to be as accommodating as its historic dislike for foreign oil companies allowed it to be. Juan Carlos Zepeda, head of the National Hydrocarbons Commission, the regulator, had put a premium on transparency, saying there was “zero room” for favouritism.
When prices of Mexican crude were above $100 a barrel last year (now they are around $50), the government had spoken optimistically of a bonanza. It had predicted that four to six blocks would be sold, based on international norms.
It did not turn out that way. The results fell well short of the government’s hopes and underscore how residual resource nationalism continues to plague the Latin American oil industry. Only two of 14 exploration blocks were awarded, both going to the same Mexican-led trio of energy fi rms. Offi cials blamed the disappointing outcome on the sagging international oil market, but their own insecurity about appearing to sell the country’s oil too cheap may also have been to blame, according to industry experts. On the day of the auction, the fi nance ministry set minimum-bid requirements that some considered onerously high; bids for four blocks were disqualifi ed because they failed to reach the offi cial fl oor.

( ) Este parece ser um problema para um país que, a partir de 1992, quer-se dentro de um mundo globalizado.
( ) Um dos pontos dominantes é o grande número de resenhas de livros “clássicos" traduzidos pela primeira vez no Brasil.
( ) É verdade que o número de editoras citadas no Mais! é maior, mas o espaço é regionalizado, com a hegemonia dos lançamentos das editoras do eixo Rio-São Paulo.
( ) Aqui há o rebaixamento de um procedimento modernista: sabemos que o intelectual modernista pode ser pensado como um tradutor, como um pedagogo, e o que acontece agora é que o suplemento retoma esse procedimento, porém “deslumbrado".
( ) O Mais! parece oferecer uma compensação para este “atraso', traduzindo e publicando grande quantidade de textos de autores estrangeiros de renome na cena intelectual, como Darton, Kurz, Bloom, Derrida e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecendo regularmente espaço para as traduções literárias dos Irmãos Campos.

No que diz respeito às estruturas linguísticas do texto, assinale a opção correta.
.
Sobre o uso da pontuação, assinale a opção incorreta.
( ) No plano geográfico, é notória a unidade da América Latina como fruto de sua continuidade continental.
( ) Ainda hoje, nós, latino-americanos, vivemos como se fôssemos um arquipélago de ilhas que se comunicam por mar e pelo ar e que com mais frequência se voltam para fora, para os grandes centros econômicos mundiais, do que para dentro.
( ) Efetivamente, a unidade geográfica jamais funcionou aqui como fator de unificação porque as distintas implantações coloniais das quais nasceram as sociedades latino-americanas coexistiram sem conviver, ao longo dos séculos. Cada uma delas se relacionava diretamente com a metrópole colonial.
( ) Toda a vastidão continental se rompe em nacionalidades singulares.
( ) A essa base física, porém, não corresponde uma estrutura sociopolítica unificada, nem mesmo uma coexistência ativa e interaturante.
(Adaptação de Darcy Ribeiro, América Latina: a pátria grande, p. 3)
A sequência correta é:
Nem muros, nem cercas, nem mares. Muito menos passaportes: quando uma pessoa decide abandonar seu próprio país para tentar uma vida melhor em outro lugar, nenhuma dessas barreiras é suficiente para dissuadi-la. As fronteiras europeias nunca estiveram tão fechadas e, ao mesmo tempo, nunca tantos imigrantes ilegais entraram no continente. Um estudo da Frontex, agência europeia de vigilância das fronteiras, aponta que, entre julho e setembro de 2014, cerca de 110 mil pessoas chegaram à Europa clandestinamente por terra e sobretudo por mar. Este número é quase três vezes maior do que o pico da Primavera Árabe, em 2011.

Até então, a maior catástrofe do tipo havia sido o naufrágio próximo à ilha de Lampedusa, que fez 366 vítimas fatais em 2013. Na época houve uma grande mobilização para o caso, chamando a atenção para a realidade dos imigrantes clandestinos. Logo após o ocorrido, a marinha italiana lançou uma operação humanitária e militar batizada Mare Nostrum, que tinha como objetivo socorrer pessoas à deriva.

Indique a opção incorreta no que diz respeito às estruturas linguísticas do texto.
Este livro pretende demarcar uma área de pesquisa e reflexão dentro da antropologia contemporânea. Esta tem hoje tantas possibilidades, tornando-se um campo de conhecimento de tal forma rico e complexo, que não é mais possível a figura do generalista capaz de dominá-la em seus vários ramos e tendências. A própria antropologia social, aparentemente uma subárea, já abriu tantos espaços e produziu uma bibliografia tão vasta que é incomum encontrar profissionais que, por exemplo, se movam com familiaridade do estudo de sociedades indígenas sul-americanas para a problemática do meio urbano com toda a sua diversidade ou mesmo para as discussões sobre campesinato, trabalhadores rurais etc. No entanto, permanece, como ponto aglutinador e condensador, uma problemática teórica, às vezes deixada de lado ou marginalizada. Os nomes podem variar, assim como as ênfases, mas a questão da unidade e continuidade dos sistemas sociais permanece sendo referência central da disciplina. Quer se privilegie o consenso ou o conflito, quer se parta do indivíduo ou da sociedade e/ou cultura, estamos sempre lidando com o dilema da estabilidade e da descontinuidade. Como se estabelecem pactos? Como se efetiva a dominação? De que forma são socializados e incorporados os indivíduos? Como é possível exercer o poder e que padrões de reciprocidade sustentam redes de relações sociais?
(Adaptado de Gilberto Velho, Individualismo e cultura: notas para
uma Antropologia da Sociedade Contemporânea, 2004, p. 7).
A partir das ideias do texto, julgue como verdadeiras (V) ou falsas (F) as inferências a seguir.
( ) A antropologia social é um ramo recente da antropologia.
( ) A antropologia social ainda não definiu com clareza seu objeto.
( ) São poucos os pesquisadores familiarizados com todos os temas da antropologia social.
( ) A relação entre estabilidade e descontinuidade dos sistemas sociais é um problema teórico central da antropologia social.
( ) A antropologia social estuda, sobretudo, as relações de poder.
A sequência correta é:
( ) Desde então, Bruna nunca mais deixou de usar o Avonex, nome comercial da betainterferona 1, medicamento de alto custo fornecido pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).
( ) Com esclerose múltipla, a publicitária Bruna Rocha Silveira foi aprovada para doutorado em educação na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).
( ) A ponto de desistir do curso, passou a experimentar uma medicação.
( ) A doença forçava-a a andar com uma bengala e provocava tremores nas mãos, o que dificultava a locomoção e a impedia de fazer anotações em aula.
( ) Então, os tremores desapareceram e ela pôde passar a andar sem a bengala.
