Boroa-INIA, primera variedad de lupino ( Lupinus albus ) amargo exportable obtenida en Chile
The bitter white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is grown by small farmers in
southern Chile, mostly from Mapuches ethnic group, and exported to some
European and Arabic countries, where it is consumed as a snack. Both
markets pay higher prices for bigger grains, although the European
market is more demanding. The Boroa-INIA cultivar originated from a
single plant collected in the Araucan\ueda Region
(37\ub030'-39\ub030' S). This is a white lupin of indeterminate
growing habit, belonging to the landrace known as "Local". The bitter
lupins introduced in the nineties, called "alto-calibre" (high-caliber)
by Chilean farmers, are interesting for their grain size, but are more
susceptible to lupin anthracnose than the "Local" landrace and of lower
yield. The main attribute of the Boroa-INIA cv. is a good mean grain
weight, 636 mg grain-1 when sown at the appropriate time. This is 32%
greater than the control representing the "Local" landrace average. At
that mean grain weight, over 80% of Boroa-INIA grains reaches a caliber
of 13 mm or bigger. Sown at the right time Boroa-INIA has yielded 6.3 t
ha-1, and 4.8 t ha-1in late sowings. This variety is a contribution of
the Chilean Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA) to the progress
of small farming. Small farmers usually do not invest in improved seed;
therefore bitter lupin is not attractive to private seed producers.
Consequently, bitter lupin breeding activities have been undertaken by
the public sector.El lupino blanco (Lupinus albus L.) amargo es cultivado en el sur de

el europeo es m\ue1s exigente. La variedad Boroa-INIA proviene de una
planta individual colectada en la Regi\uf3n de La Araucan\ueda
(37\ub030'-39\ub030' S). Es un lupino blanco de h\ue1bito de
crecimiento indeterminado, perteneciente al tipo conocido como "Local".
Lupinos amargos llamados "alto-calibre", introducidos en los noventa,
son muy interesantes por su tama\uf1o, pero m\ue1s susceptibles a
la antracnosis y de menor rendimiento que el tipo "Local". La principal
caracter\uedstica de la variedad Boroa-INIA es su buen peso medio de
grano dentro del tipo \u201cLocal\u201d, que con \ue9poca de
siembra oportuna ha sido aproximadamente 636 mg grano-1, 32% superior
al testigo que representa el promedio de este tipo. Con el peso medio
mencionado, m\ue1s de 80% del grano alcanza un calibre de 13 mm o
superior. Sembrado en \ue9poca apropiada, Boroa-INIA ha rendido 6,3 t
ha-1, y en siembras tard\uedas 4,8 t ha-1. Esta variedad es un aporte
del Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias (INIA) al progreso de la
agricultura familiar campesina. Los peque\uf1os agricultores
habitualmente no invierten en semilla mejorada y por tanto el rubro no
despierta el inter\ue9s de productores de semilla del sector privado.
En consecuencia, el mejoramiento del lupino amargo ha debido ser
abordado por el sector p\ufablic

Tratamientos en humanos para la disfunción eréctil por patología de los vasos sanguíneos.
Introduction: it’s estimated that at least 150 million men worldwide suffer from erectile dysfunction that affects their quality of life. The objective of this research was to know the effectiveness and adverse effects of treatments for erectile dysfunction due to vascular damage.
Methodology: systematic bibliographic review. WOS, Scopus, SciELO, PubMed, and LILACS were searched from 2012 to June 2023. The variables were human treatments, erectile dysfunction and blood vessels, MeSH, DeCS, and free key terms; Erectile dysfunction, pharmaceutical preparations, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, blood vessels, arteries, treatment outcome, humans, combining with Boolean operators.
Results: tadalafil, sindenafil and verdanafil, the use of alprostadil, herbal preparations in oral presentation, the placement of stents with zotarolimus/sirolimus showed statistically significant improvement in erectile dysfunction due to vascular damage in the corpora cavernosa tissue. The use of nebivolol in combination with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors demonstrated improvement in the relaxation mechanism for penile erection. Internal pudendal artery angioplasty did not show significant differences in the improvement of erectile dysfunction.
Conclusion: phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, alprostadil, nebivolol, herbal preparations, and stenting proved to be safe and effective treatments in patients with erectile dysfunction with vascular pathology. The high rates of cardiovascular diseases make it necessary for the midwife to reconsider the challenge of taking sexual care beyond gender.Introducción: a nivel mundial al menos 150 millones de hombres padecen disfunción eréctil, lo que afecta su calidad de vida.

Las variables fueron los tratamientos en humanos, disfunción eréctil y los vasos sanguíneos y los términos claves MeSH, DeCS y libres, erectile dysfunction, pharmaceutical preparations, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, blood vessels, arteries, treatment outcome, humans, los cuales fueron combinados con operadores booleanos.
Resultados: el tadalafilo, sindenafil y verdanafil, el uso de alprostadil, los preparados de hierbas en presentación oral, la colocación de stents con zotarolimus/sirolimus demostraron mejoría estadísticamente significativa de la disfunción eréctil por daño vascular en tejido de los cuerpos cavernosos. Asimismo, la utilización de nebivolol, en combinación con inhibidores de la fosfodiesterasa 5, demostró mejoría en el mecanismo de relajación para la erección peneana. La angioplastia en arteria pudenda interna no demostró diferencias significativas en mejorar la disfunción eréctil.
Conclusión: los inhibidores de la fosfodiesteresa 5, alprostadil, nebivolol, preparados de hierbas y colocación de stents demostraron ser tratamientos seguros y eficaces en pacientes con disfunción eréctil con patología vascular. Las altas tasas de enfermedades cardiovasculares hacen necesario que la matrona o el matrón se replantee el desafío de llevar la atención sexual más allá del género
Automatic Routing System for Intelligent Warehouses
Automation of logistic processes is essential to improve productivity and
reduce costs. In this context, intelligent warehouses are becoming a key to
logistic systems thanks to their ability of optimizing transportation tasks
and, consequently, reducing costs. This paper initially presents briefly
routing systems applied on intelligent warehouses. Then, we present the
approach used to develop our router system. This router system is able to solve
traffic jams and collisions, generate conflict-free and optimized paths before
sending the final paths to the robotic forklifts. It also verifies the progress
of all tasks. When a problem occurs, the router system can change the task
priorities, routes, etc. in order to avoid new conflicts. In the routing
simulations, each vehicle executes its tasks starting from a predefined initial
pose, moving to the desired position. Our algorithm is based on Dijkstra's
shortest path and the time window approaches and it was implemented in C
language. Computer simulation tests were used to validate the algorithm
efficiency under different working conditions. Several simulations were carried
out using the Player/Stage Simulator to test the algorithms. Thanks to the
simulations, we could solve many faults and refine the algorithms before
embedding them in real robots.Comment: 2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation,

Effects of acute supplementation with beta-alanine on a limited time test at maximum aerobic speed on endurance athletes
Introducción: la beta-alanina (BA) es una de las ayudas ergogénicas más utilizadas actualmente por deportistas, pero la mayoría de los estudios
centran su investigación en la suplementación prolongada.
Objetivos: determinar el efecto agudo de la suplementación con BA sobre una prueba de tiempo límite (PTL) a velocidad aeróbica máxima
(VAM) en atletas de resistencia.
Material y método: once atletas de resistencia (VO2máx 61,6 ± 9,5 mLO2·kg-1·min-1) fueron parte del estudio. El diseño fue doble ciego, cruzado
intrasujeto, y la suplementación de BA fue de 30 mg·kg-1 o placebo (PL) 60 minutos antes de completar una PTL. Las variables fueron: tiempo
y distancia en la PTL y concentraciones de lactato ([La]) postesfuerzo en los minutos 1, 3, 5, 7 y 9. Para el análisis se utilizó una prueba t de
Student y el tamaño del efecto (TE) se realizó mediante la prueba d de Cohen.
Resultados: el tiempo en la PTL evidenció diferencias significativas entre la BA y PL (p = 0,047; TE = 0,48). No se observaron diferencias
significativas en distancia entre ambos grupos (p = 0,071; TE = 0,48) y las [La] evidenciaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en
los minutos 3, 5 y 7, respectivamente (p < 0,05).
Conclusión: la suplementación aguda con BA evidenció aumentos significativos en el tiempo de ejecución en la PTL a intensidades correspondientes
a VAM. Por lo anterior, la suplementación aguda con BA es una ayuda ergogénica que podría ser considerada por los atletas de
resistencia para aumentar el rendimiento deportivo.Introduction: the beta-alanine (BA) is one of the ergogenic aid most used by athletes, but the majority of the studies center the research on
chronic supplementation.
Objectives: to determine the acute effect of BA supplementation on a limited time test (LTT) at maximum aerobic speed (MAS) on endurance
athletes.
Material and method: eleven endurance athletes (VO2max 61.6 ± 9.5 mLO2·kg-1·min-1) were part of the study. The study consisted of a double-
blind, cross-over intra-subject design, and the BA supplementation was 30 mg·kg-1 or placebo (PL) 60 minutes before completing a LTT. The
variables were: time and distance in LTT, and post-effort lactate concentrations ([La]) in minutes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The Student’s t test was used
for the analysis and the size of the effect (SE) was measured through Cohen’s d test.
Results: the time on LTT showed significant differences between BA and PL (p = 0.047; SE = 0.48). No significant differences were seen between
both groups (p = 0.071; SE = 0.48), and [La] showed significant differences between both groups in minutes 3, 5 and 7, respectively (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: acute supplementation with BA showed a significant increase in the execution time in LTT in the intensities connected to MAS. Hence,
acute supplementation with BA is an ergogenic aid that could be considered by resistance athletes in order to increase the athletic performance
