Com o advento dos telefones móveis inteligentes – ou smartphones – chega à sala de aula um novo recurso tecnológico. Com ou sem consentimento dos docentes, esses aparelhos são presença constante e inegável. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa online, realizada a partir de questionários, que se propôs a identificar como os estudantes universitários utilizam e percebem o uso dos smartphones em sala de aula, o que veem de positivo e negativo nisso e que sugestões podem dar à comunidade acadêmica que se depara com o fato irrefutável de que se trata de algo que veio para ficar.
Curso técnico na modalidade a distância do CEFET-MG: estudo sobre o estágio curricular supervisionado
Authors: Grossi Márcia Gorett Ribeiro , Silva Lívia de Cássia
Published: August 2020

Este artigo analisou o processo de realização do estágio curricular supervisionado em um curso técnico do CEFET-MG ofertado a distância. Assim, optou-se pela pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, descritiva, por meio de um estudo de caso. Dentre os principais resultados, percebeu-se que o CEFET-MG considera o estágio um ato educativo, o qual é organizado em quatro etapas, mas de maneira desarticulada com as demais disciplinas do curso, tornando essa prática um momento só para cumprir uma carga horária para obtenção do diploma técnico. Ao analisar as percepções dos alunos, observou-se que eles consideram a realização do estágio importante para que possam aproximá-los da realidade na qual irão atuar, mas consideraram o processo de formalização do estágio muito burocrático.

Published: August 2020

La educación del siglo XXI demanda de innovación y de la necesidad de atender a la diversidad de todos los estudiantes; teniendo en cuenta que para lograrlo se deben considerar las herramientas que les permitan cumplir con el objetivo de favorecer su participación integral en la escuela. Es así, que esto se está cumpliendo mediante la utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, siendo estas un medio de apoyo en el cual su diseño y planificación favorecen la creación de espacios capacitantes para lo cual se tomará en cuenta que no causen un efecto contrario en los estudiantes con mayor necesidad en la escuela. Autores como: Elizondo (2020); Cabero-Almenara y Ruiz-Palmero (2018); Echeita (2007); Martínez (2018); y Moriña (2004): argumentan en este apartado los retos y desafíos actuales en la educación y la influencia de la tecnología. Con lo antes expuesto, se considera que la labor educativa debe estar basada no solo en el desarrollo de destrezas y habilidades, sino también en formar una ciudadanía más crítica y preparada con oportunidades de educarse y auto educarse considerando la importancia que tienen las TIC para el desarrollo del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en cada una de las disciplinas y en el papel que desempeñan el docente, el contexto y los estudiantes.

Authors: Parra Peña Marlise del Valle
Published: August 2020

La investigación tuvo como propósito implementar la actividad lúdica como estrategia de aprendizaje que facilite el proceso de transición en los niños y niñas de inicial a primer grado de primaria de la escuela Básica “María La Riva Salas”, municipio Barinas, estado Barinas, Venezuela. Metodológicamente la indagación se enmarcó en el paradigma socio crítico mediante el método de investigación acción. Los informantes, quedaron constituidos por cuatro (4) docentes: dos (2) de educación inicial y dos (2) de primaria. Las técnicas de recolección de información quedaron determinadas por la entrevista en profundidad, con el registro de notas de campo. Para la interpretación de información se utilizó las técnicas de categorización, triangulación y la teorización. Se destaca como hallazgos de la investigación, la falta de actividades recreativas que le permitan al estudiante adaptarse a la situación de aprendizaje en primer grado. Dentro de las reflexiones finales, se tiene que existe la necesidad de introducir cambios a través de actividades lúdicas en la praxis del docente para articular no solo los aspectos cognitivos, corporales, motrices, sino también, las relaciones con aprendizaje, en los cuales el estudiante podrá sentirse sin temores, incertidumbres o ansiedades, facilitando su incorporación en la educación primaria.

Chronobiology Revisited in Psychiatric Disorders: From a Translational Perspective
Authors: Kirlioglu Simge Seren , Balcioglu Yasin Hasan
Published: August 2020

Objective Several lines of evidence support a relationship between circadian rhythms disruption in the onset, course, and maintenance of mental disorders. Despite the study of circadian phenotypes promising a decent understanding of the pathophysiologic or etiologic mechanisms of psychiatric entities, several questions still need to be addressed. In this review, we aimed to synthesize the literature investigating chronobiologic theories and their associations with psychiatric entities.Methods The Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, and Scopus databases were comprehensively and systematically searched and articles published between January 1990 and October 2019 were reviewed. Different combinations of the relevant keywords were polled. We first introduced molecular elements and mechanisms of the circadian system to promote a better understanding of the chronobiologic implications of mental disorders. Then, we comprehensively and systematically reviewed circadian system studies in mood disorders, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders.Results Although subject characteristics and study designs vary across studies, current research has demonstrated that circadian pathologies, including genetic and neurohumoral alterations, represent the neural substrates of the pathophysiology of many psychiatric disorders. Impaired HPA-axis function-related glucocorticoid rhythm and disrupted melatonin homeostasis have been prominently demonstrated in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, while alterations of molecular expressions of circadian rhythm genes including CLOCK, PER, and CRY have been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of mood disorders.Conclusion Further translational work is needed to identify the causal relationship between circadian physiology abnormalities and mental disorders and related psychopathology, and to develop sound pharmacologic interventions.

This Interpretive Intractionism Research objectice is to reveal the implementation of materialiality concept from the auditor’s point of view. Auditor decision in setting materiality is one of the important step in audit process, because it concerns with acceptable risk level of material misstatement. Documentation of materiality which has been set in Standar Profesional Akuntan Publik (SPAP) is a mandatory provision, both in praxis and from the theoretical point of view. Therefore, proper documentation upon materiality is necessary to support the professional judgment and avoid the thinking of negligence of audit standard. Without proper audit documentation, the auditor professionalism will be in question, especially when considering the Utilitarian Perspective. There are many reasons to justify in lowering costs & time budget upon audit process. This circumstances force the auditor (audit partner) to decide the audit materiality only by instinct and verbally communicated to the audit team members. To maintain the professionalism and enhancing public level of confidence, this issue must be addressed accordingly.

Treatment of Indian Diaspora in Rohinton Mistry's A Fine
Balance
Authors: Singh Deepak Kumar
Published: August 2020

The Parsi writers of the Indian diaspora have enriched the Indian literature as
well as world literature through their literary contributions. They aimed to
present Parsis' psyche through the presentation of historical legends, the
cadences of mythology, the problems arising out of migration, family
conflicts, the east-west encounter, and the cultural diversity. A sense of
displacement, search for balance, cultural assimilation and the complexities
of new civilization which lead them to nostalgia, are the other major points
of discussion to Parsi writers.Parsi fiction in English also gives voice to the
works of members of the Indian diasporic writers, such as Rohinton Mistry
and others. These writers have discussed and explored the various
experiences of displacement on the base of socio-cultural pattern of their
community. They look at them on the margins of the two cultures. The
concept of cultural identity played a critical role in all the post-colonial
struggles which have so profoundly reshaped world. It reflects the common
historical experiences and every country has a distinct culture. Cultural
diversity adds colour and variety to the human world but at the same time it
divides people into numerous groups and thus proves a great barrier to
human relationships
Impact of COVID-19 on the placental pathology of pregnant women and their infants: A systematic review protocol
Authors: Oltean Irina , Demellawy Dina El
Published: August 2020

Pregnant women are susceptible to viral infections due to physiological changes such as cell-mediated immunity. No severe adverse pregnancy or neonatal outcomes have been consistently reported in COVID-19 positive pregnancy cases. There are controversies around the role of COVID-19 in pregnancy. A systematic review was conducted to examine clinical maternal and neonatal clinical outcomes. Studies were included if they reported COVID-19 infection among pregnant women and/or COVID-19 positive neonates as validated by positive antibody testing or viral testing using Polymerase Chain Reaction. Case series, case reports, case-control studies, and comparative studies were included. 837 records were identified, resulting in 525 records for level I screening. 41 were included after full-text review. Results suggest elevated rates of ICU admission, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, C-sections, pre-term birth, and CRP in comparison to pregnant women without SARS-CoV-2. Careful monitoring of pregnancies with SARS-CoV-2 to minimize adverse clinical outcomes is recommended.
Folk Psychology and Proximal Intentions
Authors: Mele Alfred , Nadelhoffer Thomas , Khoudary Maria
Published: August 2020

There is a longstanding debate in philosophy concerning the relationship between intention and intentional action. According to the Single Phenomenon View, while one need not intend to A in order to A intentionally, one nevertheless needs to have an A-relevant intention. This view has recently come under criticism by those who think that one can A intentionally without any relevant intention at all. On this view, neither distal nor proximal intentions are necessary for intentional action. In this paper we present the results of two studies that explore folk ascriptions of proximal intentions and intentional actions in garden-variety, non-moral cases. Our findings suggest a very tight relationship between the two. We argue that the results from these two studies cohere with the Single Phenomenon View and give theorists who reject this view on conceptual grounds reason to worry.

Published: August 2020

SIRT1 inhibitors can reduce replication of many viruses with certain similar characteristics to those of Coronaviruses, while p53 protein is another important factor in down-regulation of growth. There are some molecules that inhibit Sirtuin 1 and 2, in addition to activate p53 protein, by means of regulation of the interactions used by Coronaviruses as self-defense mechanism, degradating it. Even mTOR signal will be regulate, as well as HIF-1α with the target genes and cytokines. Autophagy will be inhibited, being this compound like a lysosomotropic agent. By blocking virus growth and continuous replication, associating the already tested Antiviral medicines, Covid-19 could be eradicated.
Homeschooling during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: The role of students’ trait self-regulation and task attributes of daily learning tasks for students’ daily self-regulation
Authors: Blume Friederike , Schmidt Andrea , Kramer Andrea C. , Schmiedek Florian , Neubauer Andreas B.
Published: August 2020

As a means to counter the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, schools were closed throughout Germany between mid-March and end of April 2020. Schooling was translocated to the students’ homes and students were supposed to work on learning tasks provided by their teachers. Students’ self-regulation and attributes of the learning tasks may be assumed to have played important roles when adapting to this novel schooling situation. They may be predicted to have influenced students’ daily self-regulation and hence the independence with which they worked on learning tasks. The present work therefore investigated the role of students' trait self-regulation as well as task difficulty and task enjoyment for students’ daily independence from their parents in learning during the homeschooling period. Data on children’s trait self-regulation were obtained through a baseline questionnaire filled in by the parents of 535 children (Mage = 9.69, SDage = 2.80). Parents additionally reported about the daily task difficulty, task enjoyment, and students’ learning independence through 21 consecutive daily online questionnaires. The results showed students’ trait self-regulation to be positively associated with their daily learning independence. Additionally, students’ daily learning independence was shown to be negatively associated with task difficulty and positively with task enjoyment. The findings are discussed with regard to students’ daily self-regulation during the homeschooling period.
Object-Based Practice Effects Recover the Graphic Object Concept in Alzheimer’s Dementia
Authors: Bechari-Martin Hind Sara , Lange-Küttner Chris
Published: August 2020

The current study tested object drawing, object naming and object-in-scene perception. We tested older people with Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) because their object drawings have often lost their typical contours. We investigated whether intensive practice could improve or recover deteriorated graphic object representations in three tasks, object naming, object-in-scene and object drawing. Ten older participants with AD and ten healthy controls practiced for five consecutive days always involving the same ten objects (item-based learning). Patients with AD closed the gap to healthy controls as reaction time decreased and accuracy increased. Performance level and task difficulty was dependent on age, education and length of retirement duration, but interactions between practice and task difficulty were not. In accuracy, the group difference disappeared earlier in object naming < object-in-scene < object drawing. During the five days of practice, lost graphic object concepts could re-emerge. Multiple regressions testing synergistic effects between tasks showed that rapid object-in-scene judgment and drawing time relatively consistently and reliably predicted object drawing accuracy. However, when testing day-to-day progress of the drawing score, after the first repetition, only the object drawing score of the previous session significantly predicted the graphic object representation. Thus, while perceptual judgment of an object in an appropriate visual scene predicts object drawing - just as in previous research using the Witkin Embedded Figures Test – the fine motor skills involved in visually realistic drawing are likely to be the most important factor to generate a recognizable graphic object representation.
De Beer, Hogrefe, Hielscher-Fastabend & De Ruiter (in press): Evaluating models of gesture and speech production for people with aphasia
Authors: de Beer Carola , Hielscher-Fastabend Martina , Hogrefe Katharina , De Ruiter Jan Peter
Published: August 2020

People with aphasia use gestures not only to communicate relevant content but also to compensate for their verbal limitations. The Sketch Model (De Ruiter, 2000) assumes a flexible relationship between gesture and speech with the possibility of a compensatory use of the two modalities. In the successor of the Sketch Model, the AR-Sketch Model (De Ruiter, 2017), the relationship between iconic gestures and speech is no longer assumed to be flexible and compensatory, but instead iconic gestures are assumed to express information that is redundant to speech. In this study, we evaluated the contradictory predictions of the Sketch Model and the AR-Sketch Model using data collected from people with aphasia as well as a group of people without language impairment. We only found compensatory use of gesture in the people with aphasia, whereas the people without language impairments made very little compensatory use of gestures. Hence, the people with aphasia gestured according to the prediction of the Sketch Model, whereas the people without language impairment did not. We conclude that aphasia fundamentally changes the relationship of gesture and speech.

Introduction: Advanced lung cancer patients face significant physical and psychological burden leading to reduced quality of life. Physical activity, nutrition, and palliative care interventions may enhance quality of life, however no study has combined these modalities in a multimodal intervention. Therefore, we assessed the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an exercise, nutrition, and palliative symptom management intervention to improve quality of life in advanced lung cancer. Methods: Participants received an individually-tailored 12-week intervention featuring in-person group-based exercise classes, at-home physical activity prescription, and nutritional and palliative care consults. Patients reported symptom burden and quality of life pre-/post-class, as well as pre-/post-intervention, along with self-reported physical activity and a physical function assessment. Post-intervention interviews examined participant perspectives. Results: The multimodal program was feasible, with 44% recruitment, 75% class attendance, 89% nutrition and palliative consult attendance, and 85% assessment completion. Participants perceived the intervention as feasible and valuable. Physical activity, symptom burden, and quality of life were maintained, while tiredness decreased significantly. Exercise classes prompted acute clinically meaningful reductions in fatigue, tiredness, depression, pain, and increases in energy and well-being. Conclusion: A multimodal exercise, nutrition, and palliative symptom management intervention is feasible and shows potential benefits on quality of life that warrant further investigation.

Nepal incorporates diversity of caste, ethnicity, language, social structure, culture and religion, among which Tharus are one of the indigenous groups of the Tarai and inner Tarai region of the country. The study is dedicated to explore the practice and process of celebrating Maghi as Tharunew year. This study has been conducted by employing both exploratory and descriptive research design. The data of the present article are based on published articles and books and on interviews with the elders of the Dangaura Tharus, ritual performers and educated persons of the community. This study represents the distinct socio-cultural structure and ethnic practice of Dangaura Tharu. Indigenous festivals are significant in anthropological research. So it helps to add specific knowledge about Maghi, the indigenous festival of Tharu people. But the central aspect of the celebration of Maghi is in the verge of gradual change. Because those characters which are not suitable for today is going to be abolished and those that are suitable are carried on continuously. Some factors that are core components cannot be changed and it is continuous even though they do not bear any meaning but continue in the respect of their fore ancestors.

This study explores the influence of liquidity on the profitability in the Nepalese commercial banks. 5 commercial banks in Nepal; Agriculture Development Bank, Everest Bank, Prime Commercial Bank, Sunrise Bank and Citizens Bank International are randomly selected among 28 commercial banks of Nepal as a sample and analyzed for the current study over the period 2010/11 to 2016/17 AD. Since liquidity management can increase the bank’s profitability. the study has examined their liquidity management as well as profitability positions using various statistical and financial tools. The article indicates largely zigzag trend of average profitability of commercial banks, although the trend of liquidity ratios of the bank is unstable. The research concluded that bank’s liquidity ratios have below the prescribed standard. Similarly CRR is extremely heavy than prescribed by monetary policy 2016/17. The CRR and IGSCA are positively correlated with ROA while CRR and CBBISD are inversely correlated with ROA. In case of liquidity-ROE Relation, CR is inversely correlated to ROE but all other ratios (CRR, CBBISD and IGSCA) are positively correlated with ROE. It also has reported there is significant relationship between liquidity ratios with profitability, except between IGSCA and ROA.
Remittance and Economic Development of Nepal
Authors: Sah Badri Narayan
Published: August 2020

Nepal is one of the least developed but high remittances recipient countries in the world. Nepal received remittance from US$ 8.1 billion in 2016 and it is ranked 23rd among the remittance receiving countries in the world. Remittance income is one of the major sources of capital formation in the context of Nepal. It is directly related with the labour migration in a country which in return enhances foreign employment. Remittances have become a major contributing factor to increasing household income as well as country’s GDP. About 30 percent of Nepal’s GDP comes in the form of remittance money which is sent home by Nepalese working abroad and it helps to reduce country’s poverty rate. Poverty reduction took place in Nepal from 42 percent (1995/96) to 25.2 percent (2010/11). Nepal’s remittance recipients reached 31.5 percent GDP in 2015. The total amount of remittance in the country is 259 billion and among which 20 percent is internal sources, 11 percent from India and 69 percent from Gulf countries. Remittance received by the households is mainly used for daily consumption (79 percent) and remaining other purposes. Moreover, Nepal’s economic status mostly depends on remittance received which is therefore migration driven economy.
Investigation of the shearing length in the orthogonal turning of a steel AISI 1050
Authors: Demir Zülküf
Published: August 2020

Vibration amplitudes in machining operations have a deteriorating influence on the outcomes of the processes. Moreover, eradicating them is an impossible task due to the natural mechanism of cutting metals. However, by selecting the optimum cutting parameters, the destructive effects of vibration amplitudes may be diminished to acceptable levels. In the present paper, AISI 1050 steel material was machined, employing carbide inserts and a CNC lathe machine. Cutting tool approaching angles were selected between -5° and 45°, feed rates from 0.1 mm × rev-1 to 0.5 mm × rev-1, cutting depths between 0.5 mm and 2.25 mm, and accordingly CSR values between 1 and 15. The effect of the selected parameters on the chip compression factor (CCF), shearing length feed (SLF), shearing length (SLA), surface roughness, and chip morphology was investigated. Moreover, the effect of CCF, SLF, and SLA on surface roughness, vibration amplitudes, and chip morphology was analyzed as well. It was found that the most influential parameter on shearing length was cutting depth while the feed rate was on the surface roughness. The optimum CCF values were between 1.7 and 2.3, SLF smaller than 1, and SLA around 5. Furthermore, it was shown that the optimum CSR values were 10 and 15, and cutting tool approaching angles 30° and 45°, according to the chip morphology criterion.

Metallic dental implants such as titanium and stainless steel have an elastic modulus 5-14 times greater than that of compact bone (15 GPa). These stiff implants do not adequately strain the bone, which can result in bone resorption through a phenomenon referred to as stress shielding. The implant length and diameter has a significant influence on the stress distribution within the surrounding jawbone. Therefore, the objective of this investigation is to optimize the material and the dimensions of a dental implant. A numerical solution of a 3D finite element analysis using ANSYS software was conducted to achieve this purpose. It was concluded that by using stainless steel, titanium or gold dental implants with a large diameter and short length the values of the maximum von Mises stress values in cortical bone were increased. The maximum increase in von Mises stress can be obtained by using a stainless steel implant. This dental implant will reduce the stress shielding effect as well as yield suitable values with respect to von Mises stress for both porcelain crowns and dental implants, thus increasing the service life of the implant.

Revelação de Impressões Digitais em Suportes Celulósicos e Cédulas de Dinheiro: uma revisão
Authors: Lobo Bernardo José Munhoz , De Macedo Júlio Lemos
Published: August 2020

O presente trabalho é um apanhado bibliográfico versando sobre a perícia de impressões digitais latentes em suportes porosos, especialmente em dinheiro. São expostos reveladores pertinentes a esse tipo de suporte e os esforços envidados, por instituições de diversas nacionalidades, ao tentar definir metodologias eficazes à revelação de impressões latentes em cédulas de dinheiro, tanto verdadeiro quanto falso. As metodologias encontradas apontaram procedimentos tão diversos quanto a variedade de espécies de cédulas estudadas, demonstrando que uma metodologia adequada ao dinheiro brasileiro não pode ser trazida de estudos internacionais sem devidas considerações e um processo de contextualização. A busca por impressões em cédulas falsas também deve ser tomada com a complexidade que representa, apesar de ser mais simples do que dinheiro verdadeiro, o conhecimento prévio dos aspectos intrínsecos ao suporte é determinante para o sucesso dos exames periciais e imprescindível ao definir como estes serão conduzidos.
Banco Nacional de Perfis Genéticos: exame de constitucionalidade à luz da dignidade humana
Authors: Trindade Bruno Rodrigues , Neto João Costa
Published: August 2020

O direito à efetividade da jurisdição e do processo é reconhecido como fundamental. Contudo, estatísticas de taxa de resolução de crimes revelam uma precária situação no Brasil, a qual se agrava por episódios de condenações de inocentes e de torturas, decorrentes de uma persecução penal medieval, que teima em não agregar ferramentas técnico-científicas modernamente disponíveis. Nesse contexto, com o intuito de aumentar a efetividade da persecução penal, foi promulgada a Lei 12.654/2012, regulamentada pelo Decreto 7.950/2013, instituindo o Banco Nacional de Perfis Genéticos (BNPG) e a Rede Integrada de Bancos de Perfis Genéticos (RIBPG). Como em um Estado Democrático de Direito não é aceitável buscar-se justiça a qualquer custo, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é analisar a constitucionalidade do BNPG e, portanto, da Lei 12.654/2012. Na análise são utilizadas a ponderação, a proporcionalidade e a concepção minimalista da dignidade humana que engloba valor intrínseco, autonomia e valor comunitário. O artigo aborda a identificação genética, bem como a Lei 12.654/2012 especificamente, seus efeitos e garantias, concluindo ser constitucional a norma examinada.
Venezuela’s Toxic Relations with Iran and Hezbollah: an avenue of violence, crime, corruption and terrorism .
Authors: De Azevedo Christian Vianna
Published: August 2020

Venezuela’s relations with Iran date back into the sixties when both were founding members of the OPEC. Iran’s influence in Latin America has become quite large since the Iranian revolution. Iran sees Latin America as a strategic priority for its global positioning. The Lebanese immigration towards South America has begun a while ago. But there’s a period, during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) when a large number of Lebanese immigrants came to the continent. Back then, according to some experts, Hezbollah and Iran took advantage of this mass migration and infiltrated their agents and recruiters among the Muslim migrants. Hezbollah is probably the most organized terrorist organization in the World in respect to its illegal financing activities. The group funds its regular operations through all sorts of crimes. Hezbollah has a tight relationship with Iran. Ever since Iran has established its covert operations in Venezuela, Hezbollah has come along, as its proxy. Venezuela is submerged in crime and corruption. The Venezuelan government has been infiltrated by transnational organized crime for more than a decade. The convergence of corruption, crime, violence and terrorism in Venezuela was enabled by a set of conditions and circumstances that basically surfaced after Chávez was elected president in 1998. From that time onwards, Venezuela became a crucial source of political, financial and logistical support for Hezbollah. Their relationship impacts the neighboring countries, particularly Brazil.

(In)imputabilidade Penal do Indígena: indiciamento frente à integração do mesmo à sociedade e aos costumes da civilização
Authors: Girotto João Carlos
Published: August 2020

O presente trabalho objetiva apresentar questão referente ao indiciamento de indígena, quando em análise à sua compreensão de entendimento sobre determinada conduta, prevista no ordenamento jurídico e passível de sanção. Referido exame deve ser efetivado com base nos dispositivos insertos na Constituição Federal, de 1988, e no Estatuto do Índio, diante de proteção especial conferida ao silvícola. Para melhor compreensão do tema, abordam-se aspectos sociais, históricos, étnicos, econômicos, culturais, bem como julgados dos tribunais pátrios, em inúmeros casos. Almeja-se, assim, por uma visão sistêmica mais exata da autoridade policial e dos operadores do direito sobre os aspectos que venham a formar o convencimento em relação ao discernimento do indígena, de sorte a imputar-lhe a culpabilidade por determinado ato previsto como crime.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy is a genetically inherited disease that consists of the death of cardiomyocytes and replacement by fibroadipose tissue. Case reports in domestic cats are rare. Clinical signs such as syncope, right heart failure (CHF) and arrhythmias are suggestive of the disease, however, some patients may be asymptomatic. Complementary tests such as electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, radiography and histopathological analysis are important for the diagnosis. The high risk of sudden death makes the treatment and control of the disease challenging.
