Teaching and learning is an activity that is bound by goal directed and carried out specifically to achieve that goal. Because it is very important to seek knowledge for a bright future. Supervision of students by the guardians of the students made the results of their children's achievements not improving. As well as student assessment by the teacher is still not well managed because it is still in the form of a note report. The system method used is the Prototype model. With observation and direct interviews with the student section regarding the assessment system in the school where the author researched. The results of this study are applications that can be operated on an Android Smartphone. This application can provide fast information and update automatically in obtaining information on student learning outcomes.

Background: Total ankle replacements (TARs) have higher rates of osteolysis than hip or knee replacements. It is unclear whether this is a pathologic immunologic process in response to wear debris, or expansion of pre-existing osteoarthritic bone cysts. We aimed to determine the incidence of bone cysts in patients with end-stage ankle arthritis prior to surgery and review the literature on bone cysts and osteolysis in relation to TAR. Methods: This is a descriptive/prevalence study in which all patients with end-stage ankle arthritis underwent plain radiographic imaging and computed tomographic (CT) scans prior to TAR surgery. Their imaging was assessed for the presence of cysts, measured on sagittal, axial, and coronal slices of the CT scan at the widest diameter. All cysts that would be removed as a result of the bone resection for the implant were excluded using digital analysis software. We assessed 120 consecutive patients with mean age of 63.4 years. Results: Seventeen patients (14%) did not have any bone cysts based on CT images. Ten patients (8%) had cysts that would have been completely removed by surgery, leaving 93 patients for analysis (78%). In 60% of these cases, the cysts were not seen on the plain radiographs. In 39 patients (33%), the cysts were greater than 5 mm in size. The medial (36%) and lateral malleoli (33%) were the most common location for the cysts (mean diameter 4.6±2.0 and 4.2±2.3 mm, respectively). Conclusion: Bone cysts outside of the resection margins for a TAR were present in 78% of patients with ankle arthritis prior to undergoing surgery. In 30% of cases, cysts were greater than 5 mm in size. In 60% of cases, the cysts were not seen on plain radiographs. Preoperative 3-dimensional imaging can provide a foundation to observe and quantify cyst presence, expansion, and time of onset in the postoperative setting. Level of Evidence: Level IIc, diagnostic/prevalence study.

Radiation therapy plays a significant role in the treatment of nearly all gynecologic cancers, including endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. Radiotherapy can be given as the primary modality for curative treatment of gynecologic cancers, most often for cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers, but can also be used adjuvantly in the postoperative setting. Radiation can be delivered in the form of external beam radiation therapy or as gynecologic implants for brachytherapy, which is radiation that is delivered internally. This review highlights the data supporting radiation therapy for gynecologic cancers and explains the different methods of radiation delivery. This review contains 5 figures, and 4 tables, and 40 references.  Key Words: adjuvant treatment, brachytherapy, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, IMRT, ovarian cancer, radiation therapy, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer

The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been approved in the advanced and metastatic setting for many types of solid tumors. Nonetheless, their role in the adjuvant setting is limited to the treatment of surgically resected melanoma. Ipilimumab was the first immune checkpoint inhibitor approved for this indication, followed by nivolumab and pembrolizumab. Many ongoing trials are evaluating these molecules in the postoperative setting, alone or in combination with other therapies. Preliminary results are promising regarding the treatment of other cutaneous tumors, lung cancers, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, bladder cancer and renal cell carcinomas. Some data assessing their use for the adjuvant treatment of esophageal, colorectal, ovarian cancer and other solid tumors are similarly emerging.

The article examines the structure and principle of operation of the electronic office of the taxpayer, its advantages and disadvantages. The object of research is the electronic office of the taxpayer. The purpose of the work is to analyze the work of the electronic office of the taxpayer. Research method - a method of operationalization of concepts, induction and deduction. The interaction of taxpayers and controlling bodies with the use of information and communication technologies is on the way to reforming the state bodies of Ukraine in accordance with the requirements of the European Union. One of the directions of modernization of the information system of the State Tax Service is the introduction of a new electronic service for providing electronic services to taxpayers using the Internet environment and a single web portal of the State Tax Service of Ukraine - a personal electronic office of the taxpayer. The electronic service was developed as part of the «Tax Block» system. The structure of the electronic office of the taxpayer is considered in detail. The advantages of submitting electronic reporting are analyzed and the ways to improve the work of the electronic cabinet are identified. KEY WORDS: ELECTRONIC CABINET, TAXPAYER, WEB PORTAL, TAXES, FEES.

Electronic reporting systems improve the quality and timeliness of the surveillance of communicable diseases. The aim of this paper is to present the process of the implementation and introduction of an electronic reporting system for the surveillance of communicable diseases in Lithuania. The project which started in 2002 was performed in collaboration between Lithuania and Sweden and was facilitated by the parallel process of adapting the surveillance system to European Union (EU) standards. The Lotus-based software, SmittAdm, was acquired from the Department of Communicable Diseases Control and Prevention of Stockholm County in Sweden and adopted for Lithuania, resulting in the Lithuanian software, ULISAS. A major advantage of this program for Lithuania was the possibility to work offline. The project was initiated in the two largest counties in Lithuania where ULISAS had been installed and put in use by January 2005. The introduction was gradual, the national level was connected to the system during late 2005, and all remaining counties were included during 2006 and 2007. The reporting system remains to be evaluated concerning timeliness and completeness of the surveillance. Further development is needed, for example the inclusion of all physicians and laboratories and an alert system for outbreaks. The introduction of this case-based, timely electronic reporting system in Lithuania allows better reporting of data to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) compared to the former reporting system with paper-based, aggregated data.
