Locarno Treaties (1925) in the Context of the Versailles System Transformation as seen from London by E. V. Khakhalkina, V. S. Dzyuba

“…A systematic comparison of views of the Conservative and the Labour party representatives on the Geneva Protocol and the Rhineland Pact shows that by mid-1920s the British political elites advocated for an in-depth transformation of the Versailles order, particularly, through the development of an effective mechanism for maintaining international security. On that basis a broad political consensus had arisen, which led to the formation of a new two-party structure (Tory-Labour) after World War I.The study begins with an overview of the political situation in Europe and in Great Britain in the early 1920s. …”

Impacts of Sea Surface Temperature and Atmospheric Teleconnection Patterns in the Northern Mid-Latitudes on Winter Extremely Cold Events in North China by Liping Li, Wenjie Ni, Yige Li, Dong Guo, Hui Gao

“…With the weaker East Asia subtropical jet and stronger East Asia winter monsoon, these factors lead to a significant increase of SSECE frequency in North China. (3) When the SSTA shows an “El Niño-like” developing pattern from summer to autumn in the North Pacific, the winter SSECE frequency will be higher. (4) The purported mechanism between the mid-latitude SSTA and the winter SSECE frequency in North China is the following: the SSTA in the North Pacific in summer and autumn excites atmospheric teleconnection wave trains, and the Atlantic stores these anomaly signals. …”

Antioxidant and Laxative Effects of Methanol Extracts of Green Pine Cones (<i>Pinus densiflora</i>) in Sprague-Dawley Rats with Loperamide-Induced Constipation by Hee-Jin Song, Ayun Seol, Jumin Park, Ji-Eun Kim, Tae-Ryeol Kim, Ki-Ho Park, Eun-Seo Park, Su-Jeong Lim, Su-Ha Wang, Ji-Eun Sung, Youngwoo Choi, Heeseob Lee, Dae-Youn Hwang

“…These effects were also verified in Lop+MPC-treated primary rat intestine smooth muscle cells (pRISMCs) through analyses for antioxidant defense mechanisms. Overall, the finding of this study offers novel scientific evidence that MPC could be considered as a significant laxative for chronic constipation based on its antioxidant activity.…”
