POSITIVISM AND ITS ADVERSARIES: BRADLEY, COLLINGWOOD, NIETZSCHE AND HEIDEGGER by Evaldas Nekrašas

“…Collingwood and the latter by F. Nietzsche and M. Heidegger. Among theoretical reproaches against positivism, the most convincing, it seems, is Collingwood’s claim that positivism does not comprehend the role of absolute (unverifiable and unappraisable in truth-terms) presuppositions of science and does not understand that the task of metaphysics is to detect such propositions, yet it seems that not all positivists are to be blamed for this. …”

Circular RNA circFGFR1 Functions as an Oncogene in Glioblastoma Cells through Sponging to hsa-miR-224-5p by Qian Zhang, Shan Chen, Yingwei Zhen, Peng Gao, Zhenyu Zhang, Hao Guo, Yong Wang

“…Then, RIP, RNA pull-down, and luciferase reporter assay results showed that hsa-miR-224-5p directly binds to circFGFR1 and CXCR4 mRNA. The CXCR4 3′-untranslated region (UTR) activated luciferase activity was reduced with hsa-miR-224-5p transfection, while it is reversed when cotransfected with circFGFR1, indicating that circFGFR1 acts as a hsa-miR-244-5p sponge to increase CXCR4 expression. …”
