Background. Modern production of sunflower seeds is currently based on the cultivation of high-yielding heterotic F1 hybrids from crossbreeding of lines with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) of PET1-type and fertility restorer lines. The paternal parent serves as a donor of the nuclear Rf1 gene functional allele, which is responsible for pollen fertility restoration in F1 plants. The detection of carriers of the Rf1 locus recessive and dominant alleles using diagnostic molecular markers accelerates breeding of female and male parental lines for creating hybrids.Materials and methods. The material for the study included 75 lines of various origins from the VIR sunflower genetic collection as well as hybrids from crosses of VIR 116A sterile line with fertile lines differing in the type of cytoplasm (fertile or sterile) and the presence of molecular markers, most of which were linked to the Rf1 locus. For marker validation, two different approaches were used: either by analyzing associations between the ability of a line to restore pollen fertility and the presence of molecular markers in its genotype, or by estimating recombination frequency between the Rf1 locus and marker loci in four segregating hybrid populations.Results. According to the obtained results, no markers demonstrated 100% efficiency in the analysis of the sample of genotypes. The ORS511 marker was most frequently observed among the lines presumably carrying the dominant allele Rf1. Pollen fertility of F1 hybrids from interline crossings was 89-99%. The segregation for fertility/sterility in F2 fitted the theoretical ratio of 3:1 expected in case of the monogenic control of the trait. The markers HRG01, HRG02 and ORS511 were linked to the fertility restoration trait, with recombination rates between Rf1 locus and markers varying in different cross combinations. The analysis of VIR 116А × VIR 740 and VIR 116А × RIL 130 hybrids showed that among the marker loci studied, the ORS511 was closest to the Rf1 locus Rf1 (recombination frequency of 2.2 and 3.3%, respectively). The recombination rate between the Rf1 and ORS511 loci equaled 7.5% in the cross VIR 116А × VIR 210 and 8.9% in VIR 116 × VIR 195.Conclusion. The markers ORS511, HRG01 and HRG02 are the most efficient for the identification of alleles of the Rf1 gene and for the marker assisted selection in hybrid populations produced involving sunflower lines from the VIR collection.

Authors: Sapkota Tika Prasad 
Published: November 2021

Value added tax (VAT) is indirect sources of revenue collection of nation. It has been the most essential choice like our developing countries, Nepal. Which leads to revenue enhancement and sustainable economic development. As VAT was an emerging concept in Nepal, a comprehensive taxpayer education program was launched to impart knowledge regarding the various aspects of VAT to parliamentarians, industrialists, businessmen, consumers as well related society. The study used descriptive and survey research design. Data were collected through questionnaires. Statistical tools were used to make a proper analysis. It is found that 20% businessmen and 33.33% consumers are not aware that the Government of Nepal is levying VAT on all kind of products, 36% consumers are not aware of the fact that you pay VAT whenever you purchase any product, 88 % of the total respondents knowledge on earning from VAT is a major source of revenue for Government, only 44 % response of respondents are in favor of billing system, 33.33% consumer are not aware about existing rate of VAT in Nepal, 44% consumers specify the other problem in the present VAT implementation except VAT collection ,VAT refund and registration. Most of them ask for tax invoice to get the authenticity of sellers. VAT must be successful and this largely depends upon the public awareness, honesty, faith and morality of tax officials and the business community. There is a need for willpower and action. It is also found that public awareness program and tax education play prime role to increase the VAT revenue in Nepal. The finding of this study is majority of Tax expert and businessmen are aware about VAT system but the training and awareness program is essential.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: We describe the microbiological profile of postoperative endophthalmitis from northern India and analyse the pattern of antibiotic sensitivity which may have changed due to development of resistance secondary to overuse of antimicrobial drugs.
Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of postoperative endophthalmitis from January 2011 to December 2017 in a tertiary eye hospital of northern India. Any patient developing endophthalmitis within one year of any intraocular procedure was included in the study. According to severity, treatment with a trial of intravitreal antibiotic injections or core vitrectomy was decided. Ocular samples were collected which were either anterior chamber tap or vitreous biopsy and sent for microbiological examination. The samples were stained with Gram’s and KOH stain and cultured on chocolate agar, blood agar, brain heart infusion broth and Sabouraud dextrose agar.Results: A total of 545 patients of postoperative endophthalmitis were analysed which showed a male predilection (60.5%) with maximum patients between the age group 50-69 years. 292 patients (53.5%) were culture negative and 253 patients (46.4%) were culture positive.
Most common organism identified was Staphylococcus in 73 patients followed by Pseudomonas in 48 patients. Staphylococcus species was most sensitive to vancomycin (97%) followed by amikacin (91%) followed by gentamicin and moxifloxacin (88% each). Pseudomonas was the second most common isolate which showed maximum sensitivity to imipenem (82%) followed by ciprofloxacin(60%). Polymicrobial infection was noted in 23 patients. The most common fungal isolate was aspergillus in 11 patients, followed by fusarium in 10 patients.
Conclusion: Our study shows that gram positive bacteria are the most common organisms in postoperative endophthalmitis and are most sensitive to vancomycin, followed by gram negative bacteria which show increased sensitivity with imipenem than commonly used antibiotic - ceftazidime.

Introduction: Glaucoma is one of the major causes of irreversible blindness. In Nepal, the most common type of Glaucoma seen is Primary Open Angle Glaucoma. There are many risk factors associated with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma. The main objective of the study was to compare ocular biometric parameters in patients diagnosed with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and age matched controls.
Material and methods: This is a hospital based cross sectional study done at Mechi Eye Hospital. The study included 137 cases of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and 75 normal individuals as control. Axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), Keratometry ‘K’ value and Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) were measured. Mann – Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Mean age in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma group was (55.25 ± 10.16 years) and in the control group was (60.96 ± 10.91 years). Axial length in the Primary Open Angle Glaucoma group (23.16 ±1.19 mm) was deeper as compared to the control group (22.69 ±0.89 mm), the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Anterior chamber depth (ACD) was statistically deeper in the Primary Open Angle Glaucoma group (3.05 ±0.51 mm) as compared to the control group (2.86 ±0.46 mm), (p<0.01). Central corneal thickness (CCT) was thinner in the Primary Open Angle Glaucoma group (519.5 ±36.25 um) as compared to the control group (525.40 ±37.77 um) but the difference was not found to be statistically significant (p<0.19). K value in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (7.54 ±0.41mm) was higher than age-matched controls (7.58 ± 0.33mm) but the difference was not statistically significant (p<0.79).
Conclusion: Patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma had longer Axial length (AL) and deeper Anterior chamber depth (ACD) as compared to normal individuals.

Introduction: The second most common cause of blindness in the world is glaucoma. Family history plays an important role in early detection and management of patients with glaucoma. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of glaucoma in first degree relatives of Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients. Glaucoma awareness among the first degree relatives was also assessed.
Materials and methods: A  cross sectional hospital based study was designed to examine and diagnose glaucoma among first degree relatives of patients with POAG and PACG, attending the outpatient department at Ramlal Golchha Eye Hospital in the Eastern region of Nepal from June 2016 to May 2017. A comprehensive eye examination was conducted by a glaucoma specialist at the hospital. All subjects underwent vision screening, refraction, slit lamp biomicroscopy, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, gonioscopy and a dilated fundus examination. All glaucoma suspects and those diagnosed with glaucoma were enrolled for visual field examination.Results:  Two hundred and twenty-seven first degree relatives of 72 patients were invited for the examination. Out of 227 individuals, 131 (males 67.94%, females 32.06%) agreed to participate in the study. A total of 23 (17.56%) individuals were diagnosed with glaucoma, 10 (43.47%) as POAG and 13 (56.52%) as PACG. Fourteen percent of parents, 22% of siblings and 9% of off-springs had open angle glaucoma. Among 13 PACG participants, 26.08% of parents, 26.08% of siblings and 4.34% of off-springs had angle closure glaucoma. Awareness among first degree relatives diagnosed with glaucoma was 21.74%.
Conclusion:  The prevalence of glaucoma among first degree relatives of glaucoma patients was higher than individuals without family history of glaucoma. Promoting awareness on glaucoma and the timely screening of family members can lead to early detection and prevention of blindness from the disease.

ABSTRACT The idea of a Flat Earth in Indonesia became popular along with the development of social media. As one of the most popular social media today, YouTube has the potential to expand the reach of this idea to influence public discourse and recruit followers. This qualitative study aims to analyze the role of YouTube in influencing individual beliefs to convert to being Flat Earthers. The study found that YouTube plays an important role in the process of converting individuals into Flat Earthers. In addition, this study also shows that the claims of religious arguments from this idea, have strengthened individuals to switch beliefs to become Flat Earthers. This religious argument, considered to be in harmony with their holy book. These findings suggest that the YouTube platform has the potential to be a powerful avenue for changing one's beliefs.

On Frankincense-scented Soaps, Peelings and Cleansers or on Cosmetics and Commotics in Antiquity and Early Byzantium
Authors: Kokoszko Maciej , Rzeźnicka Zofia 
Published: November 2021

Cosmetology (τέχνη κοσμητική), i.e. a resource of means aimed at maintaining natural beauty of a human, was not frowned upon by the pagans nor by the Christians. What they disapproved of was commotic (κομμωτικὴ τέχνη), defined (by Galen, Clement of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa and Theodoret of Cyrus ) as an art of changing the outward appearance to the detriment of nature and one’s health. The present study has been designed to discuss select information, extant in Book VIII of Iatricorum libri by Aëtius of Amida, on what preparations were at disposal of the people of the Mediterranean who cared for their physical cleanliness (as well as health), regardless of their religious proclivities. It is focused on a number of prescriptions for face and body cleansers, though the analysed inventory has been limited to the ones including frankincense. The research material has turned out to be ample enough to draw conclusions on the ingredients used in such agents, their effectiveness, the form of the preparations, their application mode as well as on the addressees of the recipes. It has been also suggested that the formulas were compiled from the body of medical knowledge akin to what was collected by Titus Statilius Crito in his work On cosmetics.
