(LDP-PR) e os livros representantes do genero discursivo Livro Didatico de Lingua Portuguesa (LD-LP). A partir de uma perspectiva socio-historico-discursiva e empregando fontes bibliografica e documental, desenvolvemos esta pesquisa em duas etapas. Na primeira, procuramos efetuar uma reflexao teorica sobre os Generos Discursivos (BAKHTIN) e sobre como a abordagem sociointeracionista se apropria desta concepcao bakhtiniana e discute a questao da didatizacao dos generos (SCHNEUWLY e DOLZ). Na segunda, aplicamos estes pressupostos ao LDP-PR com o intuito de averiguar o encaminhamento didatico dado aos textos de generos discursivos empregados neste material didatico. A partir desta averiguacao do conteudo tematico do LDP-PR, realizada pelo trabalho com as praticas de leitura, escrita e oralidade, buscamos sustentacao para a analise deste LD como um exemplar do genero LD-LP. Nossos resultados mostram que o LDP-PR inova na escolha do conteudo tematico, mas mantem o estilo (marcado pelo emprego de discursos injuntivos, explicativos e expositivos) e a construcao composicional (de textualidade multimodal) tipicos do genero LD-LP. Creditamos a autoria multipla (constituida por professores da rede escolar), marcada pela experiencia reduzida e a merce da Secretaria de Estado da Educacao do Parana (SEED-PR) este apego ao genero consolidado.Abstract: This descriptive-explanatory research aims to investigate the dialogic relationship between the Parana‘s Public Textbook "Portuguese and Literature" (LDP-PR) and the representative books of the discursive genre of Portuguese Textbook (LP-LD). From a socio-historic-discursive perspective and by the use of bibliographical and documentary sources, we developed this research in two stages. In the first one, we carried out a theoretical reflection about the Discursive Genres (BAKHTIN) and how the social interactionist approach appropriates this Bakhtinian concept and discusses the issue of making genre educational (SCHNEUWLY and DOLZ). In the second one, we applied these assumptions to the LDP-PR with the intent of investigating the educational directions given to the texts of discursive genres employed in such a teaching materials. From this investigation of the LDP-PR‘s thematic contents, performed through the work with reading, writing and speaking skills practices, we sought support for the analysis of this LD as an exemplar of the LD-LP genre. Our results reveal that the LDP-PR innovates the choice of the thematic content but retains the style (marked by the use of injunctive, explanatory and expository discourses) and compositional construction (multimodal textuality) that is typical of the LD-LP genre. We attribute to the multiple authorship (made up of teachers from the public educational system), marked by limited experience and at the mercy of the Parana‘s State Department of Education (SEED-PR), this attachment to the consolidated genre

    Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about fundamental physics, cosmology and astrophysics. In this work, we have extended the search for lensing signatures to all binary black hole events from the third observing run of the LIGO--Virgo network. We search for repeated signals from strong lensing by 1) performing targeted searches for subthreshold signals, 2) calculating the degree of overlap amongst the intrinsic parameters and sky location of pairs of signals, 3) comparing the similarities of the spectrograms amongst pairs of signals, and 4) performing dual-signal Bayesian analysis that takes into account selection effects and astrophysical knowledge. We also search for distortions to the gravitational waveform caused by 1) frequency-independent phase shifts in strongly lensed images, and 2) frequency-dependent modulation of the amplitude and phase due to point masses. None of these searches yields significant evidence for lensing. Finally, we use the non-detection of gravitational-wave lensing to constrain the lensing rate based on the latest merger-rate estimates and the fraction of dark matter composed of compact objects

    Injury-induced pulmonary tuft cells are heterogenous, arise independent of key Type 2 cytokines, and are dispensable for dysplastic repair

    While the lung bears significant regenerative capacity, severe viral pneumonia can chronically impair lung function by triggering dysplastic remodeling. The connection between these enduring changes and chronic disease remains poorly understood. We recently described the emergence of tuft cells within Krt5+ dysplastic regions after influenza injury. Using bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, we characterized and delineated multiple distinct tuft cell populations that arise following influenza clearance. Distinct from intestinal tuft cells which rely on Type 2 immune signals for their expansion, neither IL-25 nor IL-4ra signaling are required to drive tuft cell development in dysplastic/injured lungs. In addition, tuft cell expansion occurred independently of type I or type III interferon signaling. Furthermore, tuft cells were also observed upon bleomycin injury, suggesting that their development may be a general response to severe lung injury. While intestinal tuft cells promote growth and differentiation of surrounding epithelial cells, in the lungs of tuft cell deficient mice, Krt5+ dysplasia still occurs, goblet cell production is unchanged, and there remains no appreciable contribution of Krt5+ cells into more regionally appropriate alveolar Type 2 cells. Together, these findings highlight unexpected differences in signals necessary for murine lung tuft cell amplification and establish a framework for future elucidation of tuft cell functions in pulmonary health and disease

    Vascular endothelial-derived SPARCL1 exacerbates viral pneumonia through pro-inflammatory macrophage activation

    Abstract Inflammation induced by lung infection is a double-edged sword, moderating both anti-viral and immune pathogenesis effects; the mechanism of the latter is not fully understood. Previous studies suggest the vasculature is involved in tissue injury. Here, we report that expression of Sparcl1, a secreted matricellular protein, is upregulated in pulmonary capillary endothelial cells (EC) during influenza-induced lung injury. Endothelial overexpression of SPARCL1 promotes detrimental lung inflammation, with SPARCL1 inducing ‘M1-like’ macrophages and related pro-inflammatory cytokines, while SPARCL1 deletion alleviates these effects. Mechanistically, SPARCL1 functions through TLR4 on macrophages in vitro, while TLR4 inhibition in vivo ameliorates excessive inflammation caused by endothelial Sparcl1 overexpression. Finally, SPARCL1 expression is increased in lung ECs from COVID-19 patients when compared with healthy donors, while fatal COVID-19 correlates with higher circulating SPARCL1 protein levels in the plasma. Our results thus implicate SPARCL1 as a potential prognosis biomarker for deadly COVID-19 pneumonia and as a therapeutic target for taming hyperinflammation in pneumonia

    Search for intermediate-mass black hole binaries in the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

    International audienceIntermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) span the approximate mass range 100−105 M⊙, between black holes (BHs) that formed by stellar collapse and the supermassive BHs at the centers of galaxies. Mergers of IMBH binaries are the most energetic gravitational-wave sources accessible by the terrestrial detector network. Searches of the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo did not yield any significant IMBH binary signals. In the third observing run (O3), the increased network sensitivity enabled the detection of GW190521, a signal consistent with a binary merger of mass ∌150 M⊙ providing direct evidence of IMBH formation. Here, we report on a dedicated search of O3 data for further IMBH binary mergers, combining both modeled (matched filter) and model-independent search methods. We find some marginal candidates, but none are sufficiently significant to indicate detection of further IMBH mergers. We quantify the sensitivity of the individual search methods and of the combined search using a suite of IMBH binary signals obtained via numerical relativity, including the effects of spins misaligned with the binary orbital axis, and present the resulting upper limits on astrophysical merger rates. Our most stringent limit is for equal mass and aligned spin BH binary of total mass 200 M⊙ and effective aligned spin 0.8 at 0.056 Gpc−3 yr−1 (90% confidence), a factor of 3.5 more constraining than previous LIGO-Virgo limits. We also update the estimated rate of mergers similar to GW190521 to 0.08 Gpc−3 yr−1.Key words: gravitational waves / stars: black holes / black hole physicsCorresponding author: W.
