Soviet Russia/the USSR and transformation of the international relations system in the first half of the 1920s by E. V. Romanova

“…In turn, the Western leaders, for all the differences in their approaches towards the Eastern European region and despite de facto recognition of the USSR demonstrated the growing alienation towards the Soviet regime as they became disillusioned with the prospects for its possible transition. This inability to predict the future development of the USSR, as well as to control the situation in Eastern Europe in general were among the factors that instigated the leading European power — Great Britain — to devise a scheme of the European security system without the USSR, which was embodied in the Locarno agreements of 1925.…”

Effects of Prosopis farcta Root Extract in the Vascular Reactivity of Isolated Goat Coronary Artery by Rezhna Adil Rasheed, Ismail Salih Ibrahim Kakey

“…On the other hand, the extract tended to relax the CA rings through its antagonizing of Ca+2, reducing and inhibiting Ca+2 influx and release from internal stores and interfering with the voltage-operated Ca+2 channels through its alkaloid and flavonoid active compounds which suggested to be the most predicted mechanisms for the maintenance of vasodilating tone and coronary circulation of the PFRE in coronary artery.  …”

Conceptual framework of coaches’ decision-making in conventional sports by Edvard Kolar, Roberto Biloslavo, Rado Pišot, Saša Veličković, Matej Tušak

“…This framework aims to establish appropriate relationships between the various decisions coaches make during the training process and theoretical concepts related to decision-making, both in general and within the coaching context.MethodsTo design the research, we used the methodology of a conceptual paper and a “model paper” approach, which seeks to build a theoretical framework that predicts relationships between distinct research concepts and scientific disciplines, aiming to integrate them into a cohesive model of coaches’ decision-making behavior.ResultsThe proposed conceptual framework encompasses a comprehensive range of situations that may arise during the sports training process and potential ways to address them. …”
