Water: Unclogging the finance

Água: Desobstruir as finanças

How to improve water systems is one challenge; financing them is another. Public authorities in most countries play the main role in implementing and funding water infrastructure, but it is a model that is under increasing pressure, with government budgets __01__ and banks still prudent about issuing credit.
Como melhorar os sistemas de água é um desafio; financiá-los é outra. As autoridades públicas da maioria dos países desempenham o papel principal na implementação e financiamento das infraestruturas hídricas, mas é um modelo que está sob crescente pressão, com os orçamentos governamentais __01__ e os bancos ainda prudentes na emissão de crédito.
There is no generic funding model that can be applied to every need; the sheer diversity of water infrastructures and sources of financing __02__ to be identified, scanned and tapped in line with particular investment types and needs.
Não existe um modelo genérico de financiamento que possa ser aplicado a todas as necessidades; a grande diversidade de infraestruturas hídricas e de fontes de financiamento __02__ a identificar, analisar e aproveitar de acordo com tipos e necessidades específicas de investimento.
There may be small-scale projects initiated by local entrepreneurs, or large infrastructures that serve multiple __03__, such as energy and heavy manufacturing. Some investments may involve green ecosystems to supply, store or filter water.
Poderão existir projetos de pequena escala iniciados por empreendedores locais, ou grandes infraestruturas que servem múltiplos __03__, como energia e fabrico pesado. Alguns investimentos podem envolver ecossistemas verdes para fornecer, armazenar ou filtrar água.
Not only will these infrastructures have different financing needs, but will access funds in different ways, for instance through capital markets, loans, funds, public expenditures, etc.
Estas infra-estruturas não só terão necessidades de financiamento diferentes, como também acederão aos fundos de diferentes formas, por exemplo, através dos mercados de capitais, empréstimos, fundos, despesas públicas, etc.
Take large dams and large reservoirs. These are costly, long-term affairs. The Three Gorges Dam project in China, for instance, could cost over US$22 billion, according to government __04__, including construction, relocation of residents and financing costs.
Considere as grandes barragens e os grandes reservatórios. Estes são assuntos caros e de longo prazo. O projeto da Barragem das Três Gargantas na China, por exemplo, poderá custar mais de 22 mil milhões de dólares, de acordo com o governo __04__, incluindo a construção, a deslocalização de residentes e os custos de financiamento.
Moreover, cost recovery is not expected to occur for 10 years after full operation starts.
Além disso, não se prevê que a recuperação de custos ocorra antes de 10 anos após o início da operação plena.
Such major projects tend to be financed __05__ major development banks such as the Asian Development Bank and World Bank, and institutional investors such as pension funds.

Estes grandes projetos tendem a ser financiados por grandes bancos de desenvolvimento, como o Banco Asiático de Desenvolvimento e o Banco Mundial, e por investidores institucionais, como os fundos de pensões.

The sources for long-term financing are expanding, with the emergence of sovereign funds and philanthropists, __06__ of new groups like the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, __07___ opened in March 2015.

As fontes de financiamento a longo prazo estão a expandir-se, com o surgimento de fundos soberanos e filantropos, __06__ de novos grupos como o Banco Asiático de Investimento em Infraestruturas, liderado pela China, __07___ inaugurado em março de 2015.
But before leaping into major __08__ such as dams, policymakers must answer several questions.

Mas antes de avançar para grandes projectos como as barragens, os decisores políticos devem responder a várias questões.

Will the construction lock them in and still be valuable in 25, 50 or 100 years’ time?

A construção irá mantê-los presos e ainda ser valiosa daqui a 25, 50 ou 100 anos?

After all, there are several cases of investments that have fallen into disuse or underuse, such as a desalination __09__ in Sydney that was built during a severe but temporary drought, and dams in France’s Loire Valley that are now being decommissioned at some cost.

Afinal, há vários casos de investimentos que caíram em desuso ou foram subutilizados, como uma dessalinização __09__ em Sydney, construída durante uma seca severa, mas temporária, e barragens no Vale do Loire, em França, que estão agora a ser desativadas a algum custo.

Had a more forwardprobing 'value options' approach been used in planning them, they __10__ in the first place.

Se tivesse tido utilizada uma abordagem mais prospetiva das "opções de valor" no planeamento, estas teriam __10__ em primeiro lugar.

Materials of importance

Carbonated Beverages Containers One common item that presents some interesting material property requirements is the container for carbonated beverages. The material used for this application must satisfy the following constraints: provide a barrier to the passage of carbon dioxide, which is under pressure in the container; be nontoxic, unreactive with the beverage, and, preferably be recyclable; be relatively strong, and capable of surviving a drop from a height of several feet when containing the beverage; be inexpensive and the cost to fabricate the final shape should be relatively low; if ptically transparent, retain its optical clarity; and capable of being produced having different colors and/or able to be adorned with decorative labels.

All three of the basic material types — metal (aluminum), ceramic (glass), and polymer (polyester plastic) — are used for carbonated beverage containers. All of these materials are nontoxic and unreactive with beverages. In addition, each material has its pros and cons. For example, the aluminum alloy is relatively strong (but easily dented), is a very good barrier to the diffusion of carbon dioxide, is easily recycled, beverages are cooled rapidly, and labels may be painted onto its surface.

On the other hand, the cans are optically opaque, and relatively expensive to produce. Glass is impervious to the passage of carbon dioxide, is a relatively inexpensive material, may be recycled, but it cracks and fractures easily, and glass bottles are relatively heavy. Whereas the plastic is relatively strong, may be made optically transparent, is inexpensive and lightweight, and is recyclable, it is not as impervious to the passage of carbon dioxide as the aluminum and glass. For example, you may have noticed that beverages in aluminum and glass containers retain their carbonization (i.e., 'fizz') for several years, whereas those in two-liter plastic bottles 'go flat' within a few months.

Xerox and the Icarus Paradox

Schilling, Melissa A.

Strategic Management of Technological Innovation, Mc Graw-Hill International Edition, Fourth Edition

According to Greek mythology, when King Minos imprisoned the crafstman Daedalus and his son Icarus, Daedalus built wings of wax and feathers so that he and his son could fly to their escape. Icarus was so enthralled by his wings and drawn to the light of the sun that despite his father's warning, he flew too high. The sun melted his wings, crashing Icarus to death in the sea. This was the inspiration for the now well-known Icarus Paradox – that which you excel at can ultimately be your undoing. Success can engender overconfidence, carelessness, and an unquestioning adherence to one's way of doing things.

For example, in the 1960s and 1970s, Xerox had such a stranglehold on the photocopier market that it did not pay much attention when new Japanese competition began to infiltrate the market for smaller, inexpensive copiers. Xerox management did not believe competitors would ever be able to produce machines comparable to Xerox's quality and cost. However, Xerox was dangerously wrong. By the mid-1970s, Xerox was losing market share to the Japanese at an alarming rate. When Canon introduced a copier that sold for less than Xerox's manufacturing costs, Xerox knew it was in trouble and had to engage in a major benchmarking and restructuring effort to turn the company around.

14 – The synonym for "enthralled"

in "Icarus was so enthralled by his wings (...)" is:

(A) braided
(B) loosened
(C) discharged
(D) captivated
(E) acquitted

• Gabarito D

(A) braided
(B) loosened
(C) discharged
(D) captivated

(E) acquitted

15 – The antonym of "engender" in the sentence:

"Success can engender overconfidence (...)" is:

(A) bring about
(B) trigger
(C) turn in
(D) hinder
(E) kindle

• Gabarito D

(A) bring about
(B) trigger
(C) turn in
(D) hinder

(E) kindle

16 – What Icarus and the Xerox have in common is that

(A) both were advised by someone else about their risky behavior, and neither of them took it seriously.
(B) overconfidence and lack of attention led to negative effects.
(C) benchmarking was the alternative for the company as it would be for the mythological character.
(D) in both cases, the comfort zone would not actually cause any loss.
(E) they had outperformed others in just one aspect when they ventured at something new.

• Gabarito B

What Icarus and the Xerox have in common is that

(E) they had outperformed others in just one aspect when they ventured at something new.

Case Study 1: Damage Assessment in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan

In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan devastated the city of Tacloban in the Philippines. Soon after, a case the size of a backpack arrived, accompanied by a small team of experts. This pilot project to bring in a UAV, with a range of up to five kilometers and a high-resolution video camera, to assist humanitarian responders was the work of a partnership between several private sector firms and NetHope, a consortium of NGOs.

The Philippines lacked the necessary regulations, so the use of the UAV was cleared by a special agreement with the Mayor of Tacloban. The UAV was covered with insurance that covered damage or injury due to malfunction.

The UAV was used first to identify where to set up a base of operations, and then to check if roads were passable, a task that could take days when done on foot or by helicopter. The UAV was also flown up the coast to evaluate damage from storm surge and flooding and to see which villages had been affected. The aerial assessments "really helped to speed up …efforts, cut down on wasted time and work, and make them more accurate in their targeting of assistance." It was also suggested that the UAV might have located survivors in the rubble using infrared cameras if it had arrived within 72 hours.

Interest is building in developing local capacity for using UAVs in disaster response. SkyEye Inc., a local start-up, is working with the Ateneo de Manila University to train five teams across the Philippines to locally deploy UAVs in preparation for next typhoon season.

• Para a questão 20, escolha a oração que completa a lacuna do texto abaixo mantendo o sentido do parágrafo como um todo:

"If we lived on a planet where nothing ever changed, there would be little to do. There would be nothing to figure out. There would be no impetus for science. And if we lived in an unpredictable world, where things changed in random or very complex ways, we would not be able to figure things out. __________________. If I throw a stick up in the air, it always falls down. If the sun sets in the west, it always rises again the next morning in the east. And so it becomes possible to figure things out.
