We present several results on the geometry of the quantum projective plane CPq. They include: explicit generators for the K-theory and the K-homology; a real calculus with a Hodge star operator; anti-selfdual connections on line bundles with explicit computation of the corresponding ‘monopoles’ and ‘instanton’ charges; complete diagonalization of gauged Laplacians on these line bundles; quantum...

BACKGROUND Paediatric oral disorders are numerous and it can be assumed that those have negative effect on the life quality in children. From 2002 to 2006 were developed the life quality measures for children aged 8-10 and 11-14 years, Child Perceptions Questionnaires, CPQs. Those are the components of the Child Oral Health Quality of Life Questionnaire (COHQOL). AIM The aim of this study was...

Objective: To analyze the degree of similarity to a “psychodynamic prototype” during the first year of two children’s once-weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy. Methods: This study used a longitudinal, descriptive, repeated-measures design based on the systematic case study method. Two male school children (here referred to as Walter and Peter) and their therapists took part in the study. All ses...

Introduction and objective: the WHO defined concept of quality life as self-perception that individual has about his position in social, cultural ideological context, being these factors main responsible for denoting worst parameters regarding oral health care during dental clinical examination performed by dentist. To evaluate impact on children with special needs aged 7 to 14 years old influe...

This study evaluated the impact of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) according to the perceptions of schoolchildren and their parents/caregivers. This cross-sectional study consisted of a sample of 594 schoolchildren between 11 and 14 years of age and their parents/caregivers who answered the questionnaires CPQ11-14ISF:16 and P-CPQ, respectiv...

The Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ(11-14)) is a self-administered instrument for the assessment of oral health-related quality of life in children. The objective of this study was to translate and adapt the questionnaire for use in Brazil. The questionnaire was translated from the English original into Brazilian Portuguese using the back-translation method (English/Portuguese/English), fo...
