    Finally, vindication for power nappers. Far from being lazy louts, siesta-takers are actually doing their bit for the firm. According to Sara Mednick and her colleagues at Harvard, just 60 minutes of shut-eye in the middle of the day can make you perform like the fresh daisy you were first thing in the morning. But it has to be bona fide sleep; a mere rest, they found, has no effect.
    Dr. Mednick, whose results have just been published in Nature Neuroscience, wanted to know what effect power napping would have on people’s visual perception. She asked 30 student volunteers to come into her laboratory. Four times on the same day, at 9am, noon, 4pm and 7pm, they were required to stare at a computer screen for an hour. Their task was to pick out a vertical or horizontal bar from a striped background - an established test of visual perceptiveness. The more quickly they picked out the bar, the more acute their perception.
    All the volunteers had slept well in the days before the test, and had been warned off alcohol. During the test day, nicotine addicts were allowed to indulge their habits, but everyone had to remain uncaffeinated. Despite this cosseting, the performance of the ten volunteers who went straight through the day without a nap deteriorated rapidly. Their best scores were first thing in the morning, and it was downhill from there on. By the last session, they were taking 52% longer, on average, to identify the orientation of the bar than they had in the first.

Our time has proved to be amazingly effective in gropingly building up a civilization which it has proved amazingly inept at putting in order. (André Maliaux)

    After so many crises which have followed each other in as many areas, we ought to admit that industrial and technological civilization is creating as many problems as it is capable of resolving. The myth of progress, one of the founding myths of our civilization, also appears to have collapsed as a myth. The development of modern society, spectacular as it is from an economist’s angle of vision, has not been able to society; stop a slide into human and moral underdevelopment. A deterioration of quality in relation to quantity makes only those things that can be actually measured appear to be real; unfortunately, things like poetry, suffering, or love are hardly quantifiable.

    Towards the end of his eventful life, Jean Monnet, a remarkable figure of the twentieth century, reasoned that, had he been able to start all over again, he would have begun with culture. A founding father of what was later to become the European Union, he expressed that belated belief in the pre-eminent role of culture as a part of greater civilization after he had tried for several decades to build a prosperous Europe in economic terms in the aftermath of a devastating war.

I. Jean Monnet founded the European Union at the end of his life.
II. Today technology isn’t as beneficial as it used to be.
III. Poetry and love have been disregarded lately.
IV. Quantity isn’t as relevant as quality nowadays.
V. Progress has also been threatened by the world crisis.

Se, no gráfico acima, os pontos An = (4n , yn), n = 0,1,2,..., estão sobre uma reta e a distância de A0 a A1 é igual a 5, então a soma y0 + y1 +y2 + ... + y200 é igual a

O chamado “Estado Islâmico” tem sido noticiado com grande frequência nos mais variados meios de informação. Essa organização se autoproclama como uma unidade territorial de representação de populações muçulmanas, sem o reconhecimento formal da comunidade internacional. No mapa, estão identificados dois dos países que abrigam esse fenômeno, que são, respectivamente:

Nos verões de 2014 e 2015, foram registrados índices pluviométricos abaixo das médias históricas para a região Sudeste. De acordo com os climatologistas, esse fenômeno foi provocado pela formação de um centro de alta pressão atmosférica na região. Sendo assim, a menor ocorrência de chuvas se deu em razão

“O brasileiro Roberto Azevêdo assumiu o cargo de diretor-geral da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) há três meses e já registra no seu mandato o primeiro acordo global para facilitar o comércio entre os países em quase 20 anos. Neste sábado, após quatro dias de reuniões em Bali, na Indonésia, a OMC conseguiu desbloquear a Rodada de Doha - uma série de reuniões iniciadas em 2001, que visam discutir regras para tornar mais ágil o comércio entre os países. Essas negociações estavam paralisadas desde 2008.”

Acima, podemos observar o Valo Grande, canal construído no século XIX no rio Ribeira de Iguape, litoral do Estado de São Paulo, com objetivo de dinamizar o escoamento da próspera produção agrícola, especialmente do arroz, nessa região. Esse canal é conhecido como um dos mais trágicos desastres ambientais decorrentes do desvio de um rio. Durante as cheias, as águas desviadas para o trecho artificial, sem os meandros para domar sua velocidade, ocasionam um intenso solapamento de suas margens. Os sedimentos, então, são depositados no porto de Iguape.

Os impactos ambientais, verificados no caso descrito, são

No período compreendido entre 1964 e 1985, conhecido como “ditadura civilmilitar”, o Brasil apresentou um grande crescimento industrial, comparado às décadas anteriores. Entre os diferentes fatores que caracterizaram esse processo, assinale a alternativa que apresenta apenas afirmativas corretas.

I. Além dos investimentos públicos em infraestrutura, com destaque para rodovias e usinas hidrelétricas, o país contou com investimentos de grandes grupos transnacionais da Europa e dos EUA.

II. O Estado priorizou o desenvolvimento de indústrias siderúrgicas, petroquímicas, mecânicas e automobilísticas, ou seja, setores típicos da chamada Terceira Revolução Industrial.

III. A ditadura civil-militar não preparou o país adequadamente para a Terceira Revolução Industrial. Isso pode ser comprovado pela constatação dos investimentos em educação, ciência e tecnologia, que não viabilizaram a formação da mão de obra qualificada, fator importante para os mais avançados processos industriais no mundo contemporâneo.

IV. O desenvolvimentismo no Brasil teve a combinação entre a prioridade dos investimentos em rodovias e incentivos para a indústria automobilística. Essa opção justifica, de um lado, a posição de destaque internacional do país na produção de automóveis; de outro, os elevados custos com transportes de cargas e passageiros que prejudicam outros setores da economia.
