Establishment of Adaptive Drug-resistant Colorectal Cancer Cell Model
Authors: Fong Zhijack , Goh Bey-Hing , Lee Wai-Leng
Published: November 2024

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most prevalent cancers and contributes significantly to cancer-related fatalities. Chemoresistance in CRC poses a considerable therapeutic challenge, underscoring the need to comprehend the underlying mechanisms for the development of alternative strategies to overcome this resistance. Utilizing isogenic cell lines with acquired drug resistance is one of the prominent experiment approaches for studying chemoresistance, enabling the exploration of adaptive cellular responses to chemotherapeutic agents that confer resistance in cancers. However, establishing such cell models is challenging, and there are limited readily available protocols for scientists as references. This paper aims to elucidate the methodology for establishing a laboratory isogenic adaptive chemoresistant cell model, focusing on a cisplatin-resistant CRC cell model. From a panel of three human CRC cell lines, HCT116 was selected as the parent cell line due to its high cisplatin sensitivity. HCT116 cells were subjected to pulsed or continuous cisplatin treatments that resulted in successful selection of seventeen HCT116 sublines that exhibited varying degrees of cisplatin resistance. Only one HCT116 subline with transient acquired cisplatin resistance was established using pulsed exposure method while the method involved continuous cisplatin treatment has successfully established two resistant lines HCT116/I24781 and HCT116/I248 demonstrate 24.5-fold and 19.2-fold resistance respectively. These resistant cells showed significantly reduced growth rate with slight change in cell morphology and relatively stable resistance that remained unaffected for 8 continuous passages in cisplatin-free environment and 2 cryopreservation cycles. Together, these results suggest that continuous exposure with stepwise dose increase of drug is promising for establishing adaptive drug-resistant cell lines with significant drug resistance.

Published: November 2024

Persalinan adalah suatu kondisi yang sangat spektakuler dalam kehidupan seorang wanita. Banyak penelitian antropologi menunjukkan bahwa proses hamil dan bersalin adalah sesuatu yang sangat penting dalam siklus kehidupan manusia khususnya kaum perempuan. Walaupun persalinan merupakan proses alamiah, seringkali nyeri yang dialami saat persalinan menjadikan wanita menjadi takut, cemas dan khawatir, sehingga mempengaruhi proses persalinan itu sendiri yang berakibat timbulnya prolonged labour dan neonatal asphyxia. Rasa nyeri persalinan bersifat personal, setiap orang mempersepsikan rasa nyeri yang berbeda terhadap stimulus yang sama tergantung pada ambang nyeri yang dimilikinya. Berdasarkan hal tersebut diatas maka peneliti tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian yang berjudul “ Efektifitas Terapi Musik Klasik Terhadap intensitas Nyeri Persalinan Pada Ibu Bersalin Kala 1 Di PMB Puti Razi Maharani”

A Study on Process Method of Modal Adverbs in AI Translation : Focusing on Japanese-Korean Translation of Novels
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Park Mi-Suk
Published: November 2024

The processing patterns of modal adverbs that appear in AI translation were examined by dividing them into Korean correspondence patterns and translation processing patterns. The results are as follows.
First, in terms of Korean response, ‘もちろん/やはり/なぜ/まったく/まるで｣’(Google and Papago) and ‘きっと/おそらく/たぶん’(Papago) show a one-on-one response to Korean at a rate of more than 90%. Particularly, ‘もちろん/まるで/まったく/やは り’(Google) and ‘なぜ/おそらく/たぶん/やはり’(Papago) are translated only to [물론/마치/전혀/역시] and [왜/아마(도)/아마(도)/역시], which means the overall semantic function is not subdivided and the diversity of expression is insufficient.
Second, the world order change was the least, and the omission was the most common in terms of translation processing. The fixed adverbial position shows the weakening of the floating characteristic of the adverb, and the omissions show the adverbial feature as a secondary component.
Subsequently, the misuse due to the confusion of the positive and negative usage methods of ‘まるで’, transformation due to the parts of speech transformation of ‘な ぜ’(Google) and ‘もちろん’(Papago), and meaning transformation of ‘きっと’ (Papago) can be seen. Misuse appears 36 on Google(1.86%) and 4 on Papago (0.20%), and transformation appears 1 on Google(0.05%) and 8 on Papago(0.41%). It shows flexibility partially with accuracy of machine translation.
Monologue about Creation, Imitation, and Cinema : Park Chan-wook's Gaze Revealed in Decision to Leave
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Park Su-mi
Published: November 2024

This paper is a study of the thematic consciousness of the film Decision to Leave. By analysing the meaning of Park Chan-wook's metaphorical devices and narrative structure, it aims to reveal what he was trying to convey through this film. By layering heterogeneous combinations of images that give a sense of deja vu. Park demonstrates the value of differences that are created beyond the familiar ones. When the inferences made through memorised language and structures of thought betray themselves, the viewers are motivated to focus solely on the information conveyed by the senses, and falls under the spell of fiction. In this paper, I have discussed the role of the film's characters, narrative structure, theme song Fog , and the important prop Shan Hai Jing(Classic of Mountains and Seas) in achieving this goal. In addition, the paper focused on the phenomenon that Park Chan-wook's characteristic violence and sensationalism are completely removed from the film, and examined its connection to Cinema Paradiso . Decision to Leave is a film that talks about cinema, and it is also a sad tribute to the cinema of a director and cinephile in his prime.
Objection to Military Service as a Commitment to Sacred Values Stories Retold in light of the Devoted Actor Model
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Ha Hongkyu
Published: November 2024

This article draws on the ‘devoted actor’ model to characterize the conscientious objection movement as a commitment to sacred values. The devoted actor model assumes that “people will become willing to protect morally important or sacred values through costly sacrifice and extreme actions, even being willing to kill and die.” Recognizing that religious as well as secular values can be venerated as sacred, I call the action of objecting to military service ‘the convictional objection’ rather than ‘the conscientious objection’ and attempt to unearth and retell the stories of those who refuse military service based on their convictions. Sacred values motivate actors to act beyond the cost-benefit calculations in defense of those values that they are commited to. What makes the belief-based conscientious objection movement unique is that it has sought to pursue values despite the certainty of punishment.
To illustrate this, this article focuses on the post-2001 convictional objection movement, which has not only included religious objectors, but also non-religious objectors who have declared their objection based on anti-war pacifist beliefs or feminist values. In the sense that they are non-religious, or in other words, based on secular values, their refusal to military service is the political act and thus a form of ‘value politics.’ At the level of social theory, this article attempts to bring together Max Weber’s notion of charisma and Emile Durkheim’s notion of the sacred by describing the act of convictional objection as a devoted action to sacred values.
Transhumanism and the American Political Myths
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Choi Sokion
Published: November 2024

This paper engages with the discourse on transhumanism by critically examining its foundational elements, the political myths. Numerous critical perspectives have consistently emerged in pertinent to transhumanism. Critiques spanned a broad spectrum, from those advocating for a comprehensive and holistic examination of the philosophical arguments and claims posited by transhumanists, to more pragmatic voices focused on political and economic considerations, urging for limitations on the pursuits of high-tech industries that function within or are based on transhumanist principles. Nevertheless, these haste critiques are constrained by a fundamental misunderstanding of the geneaology of transhumanism: the deeper one probes its historical context to engage with it critically in the present, the more transhumanism becomes obscured, revealing only archaic ideas, Christian theological perspectives, and Enlightenment philosophy. Consequently, it is essential to regard the past as a discursive instrument that can be employed by modern transhumanist discourse, rather than simply as a sequence of chronological events. This paper explores the complex dimensions of transhumanism by analyzing its utilization and transformation of the political myths prevalent in twentieth-century United States, including the American way of life, comic-book superheroism, manifest destiny, and Christian eschatology.

This paper investigated the magnetic field strength of a solenoid using the magnetometer of a smartphone. There were three experiments: magnetic field strength versus current; magnetic field strength versus number of turns; and magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid. The result of the experiment has found that magnetic field strength and current and magnetic field strength and number of turns have direct relationship to one another and conformed with the Ampere’s Law. Meanwhile, the magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid has an exponential relationship. This paper recommended to verify the permittivity of free space by revising the experimental set-up. From educational uses to practical applications, it provides the teaching and learning process with a convenient tool for measuring magnetic field strength at various points with incredible precision and accuracy with minimal effort required.
Mathematical Modeling and Control Strategies for Nipah Virus Transmission Incorporating Bat-To-Pig-To-Human Pathway
Authors: Loyinmi Adedapo Chris , Gbodogbe Sunday Oluwafemi
Published: November 2024

The mathematical modeling of Nipah virus transmission, incorporating the bat-to-pig-to-human pathway, is essential for understanding this disease dynamics and optimizing control measures. Nipah virus, which naturally resides in animals, particularly fruit bats, spreads to humans via intermediate hosts like pigs. This research work highlights the significance of including this pathway in mathematical models for several crucial reasons. Firstly, it aids in comprehending zoonotic transmission, essential for designing effective control strategies. Secondly, it facilitates early detection and intervention by encompassing bats, pigs, and humans in the model. Monitoring factors such as bat population dynamics, pig infections, and human exposure enables timely intervention to prevent or mitigate outbreaks. Moreover, the complexity of Nipah virus transmission involving multiple species underscores the need for multifaceted control measures. We present a detailed mathematical model for Nipah virus transmission, including equations for human, pig, and bird populations. The model is rigorously analyzed, including the calculation of the basic reproduction number, the local stability of disease-free equilibrium, and the global stability of the equilibrium. Sensitivity analysis is performed to identify parameters with the most significant impact on disease dynamics. Optimal control strategies for the Nipah virus, incorporating personal prevention, treatment, biosecurity, and public health interventions, are developed and analyzed. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of these control measures in reducing human and pig infections.
Modular Distance Learning Modality and Students’ Learning Mechanisms in Physics: A Grounded Theory
Authors: Yunzal Ananias Jr.
Published: November 2024

Issues in science education in the Philippines have existed until now. The existing learning issues are aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic as the educational system shifts to a distance learning modality. With the sudden shift in learning modality, learning issues manifest, especially in subjects that require guidance from teachers, such as physics. This qualitative study aimed to explore and generate theory utilizing the Glaserian inductive method of theory generation, focusing on the learning mechanisms of learners in the modular distance learning modality in the subject of physics. The participants of the study were 10 purposefully chosen senior high school students who have taken General Physics 1 in the modular distance learning modality. Data were gathered through individual in-depth interviews and thematically analyzed utilizing the Braun & Clarke thematic analysis technique. The result indicated that the students are struggling to adapt to the learning modality set-up for acquiring learning needs and completing the given tasks. The result further shows that students’ learning acquisition and task completion are driven by the following: support from knowledgeable others, use of learning materials, use of technology in learning, learners’ intrinsic motivation to drive learning, and effective time management. Conclusively, when there is sufficient support from these emerging factors, physics learning acquisition and task completion in modular distance learning are maximized. Thus, Physics Learning Acquisition and Task Completion Model in Modular Distance Learning sheds light on how students learn physics in the said distance learning modality, which provides ideas on how physics learning material should be designed.

Published: November 2024

The purposes of this study were to investigate the phytochemicals and antioxidant activity from Magnolia alba (Magnoliaceae). The antioxidant activity was investigated using total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Isolation and purification of the leaf extracts of M. alba yielded six phytochemicals identified as squalene (1), parthenolide (2), vanillin (3), stigmasterol acetate (4), friedelin (5), and β-sitosterol (6). In antioxidant activity, the hexane extract of M. alba showed the highest value of phenolic content with 206.7 mg GAE/g, whereas methanol extract gave the highest inhibition in DPPH assay with 36.0%. However, all compounds were found weak activity in DPPH assay. The implication of this study demonstrates that M. alba could represent a source of molecules with antioxidant potential in the prevention of free radical-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and diabetes.

Egg White Extract Supplementation Improves Albumin and IGF-1 Levels in Malnourished Elderly Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Mukmin Sugianto , Nur Riviati  , Mgs Irsan Saleh
Published: November 2024

Background: Malnutrition is a prevalent issue among the elderly, often leading to hypoalbuminemia (low albumin levels) and decreased serum Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels. These conditions are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Egg white extract (EWE) supplementation has shown promise in improving hypoalbuminemia. This study investigated the effects of EWE supplementation on serum albumin and IGF-1 levels in malnourished elderly patients.
Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted, involving 46 malnourished elderly inpatients with hypoalbuminemia. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either EWE (30 grams daily) or a placebo for two weeks. Serum albumin and IGF-1 levels were measured before and after the intervention.
Results: After two weeks, the EWE group showed a significant increase in both serum albumin and IGF-1 levels compared to the placebo group. The mean serum albumin level in the EWE group increased from 2.80 g/dL to 3.7 g/dL, while the placebo group remained unchanged. The mean serum IGF-1 level in the EWE group increased from 1.74 ng/mL to 24.74 ng/mL, while the placebo group experienced a smaller increase. There was a moderate positive correlation between changes in albumin and IGF-1 levels.
Conclusion: EWE supplementation effectively improves serum albumin and IGF-1 levels in malnourished elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia. This intervention may help reduce malnutrition-related complications and improve overall health outcomes in this vulnerable population.
A Phenomenological Reflection on the Concept of Inclusion as Employed in the Kenyan Education Landscape: Anecdotal Accounts of Inclusionary Exclusion
Authors: Osabwa Wycliffe
Published: November 2024

The role of education in any given society cannot be overemphasized enough. Granted, evaluation of such roles is based on the assumption that all citizens will access and participate in specific educational experiences as provided for by the said societies. This implies inclusion, a concept that remains protracted owing to its subjective interpretation by various actors. Indeed, this paper views the problem partly as a conceptual issue which can be resolved upon unequivocal clarification of the concept, followed by deliberate sensitization of the relevant stakeholders. So what is inclusion, and to what extent do education stakeholders share in the understanding? According to the disability theory, inclusion majorly involves special needs learners. This conception drifts focus from what should actually be the case: schools for all. The current paper critiques such conceptions, providing illustrations of how they eventually mislead teachers into exclusionary practices albeit subconsciously. In this perspective article, teachers’ and learners’ views on inclusion were mined through the sentiment analysis method where the views were gathered from social media, specifically from a popular Facebook page, and synthesized accordingly. In the final analysis, it emerged that education access was mistaken for participation, leading to situations where teachers inadvertently excluded normal learners at various levels, imagining that their being in school alone was testimony of inclusion. The resulting situation is herein referred to operationally as inclusionary exclusion. This paper recommends, as a first step, the inclusion of knowledge and skills on both inclusive and exclusive practices in teacher education programmes so that education practitioners act consciously. It is instructive that no goal of education is achieved in the absence of inclusive practices, hence, there is a need for a review of how education practitioners and policymakers conceptualize inclusion.

Published: November 2024

Teachers play a vital role in curriculum implementation as they bring their expertise, experience, and knowledge of their students to shape the curriculum. This study examined the influence of teachers’ involvement in the 2015 curriculum implementation on their teaching effectiveness in public primary schools in the Geita Region, Tanzania. The study conceptualised teaching effectiveness as effective planning and preparation for teaching, actual instruction of learning, management of classroom environment, as well as professional responsibilities. Five teachers who engaged in the 2015 curriculum implementation constituted the cases. Data was collected from these cases, curriculum developers, DCSQAOs, and pupils, using interview guides, lesson observation checklists, focus group discussion guides, and document review checklists. The study findings revealed that teachers’ involvement in 2015 curriculum implementation influences their teaching effectiveness in ways that enforce the already pre-determined responsibilities that teachers are expected to fulfil while in the profession. It was thus concluded that teachers’ involvement in curriculum implementation expressively influences their teaching effectiveness because teachers are simply enforcing the already pre-determined responsibilities expected of them while in the profession. The study recommends that teacher training institutions should work together with the curriculum operating institutions in the country, such as DCSQAOs, to ensure that teacher trainees are equipped with the necessary curriculum implementation competences before they start practising the actual teaching

Effect of radiation-induced vacancy saturation on the first-order phase transformation in nanoparticles: insights from a model
Authors: Shirinyan Aram , Bilogorodskyy Yuriy
Published: November 2024

By employing a model of nanomaterials with polymorphic phase transitions and using a thermodynamic approach to describe the effects of vacancy saturation, irradiation dose, powder dispersion, and surface energies, we demonstrate the possibility of radiation-induced phase transitions and the zones of radiation stability for nanoparticles. We utilize nanoparticles exhibiting transitions from the body-centered cubic α phase to the face-centered cubic β phase, and the reverse transition from β phase to α phase, as a model system for first-order phase transformations. We incorporate nucleation through the appearance and growth of the nucleus of a new phase, resulting in the formation of a two-phase α+β system, and we highlight the importance of accounting for nucleation. Our model study reveals that very small α-phase particles are unstable (while very small β-phase particles are stable) because of surface effects. There is an intermediate zone of sizes and parameters where radiation-induced defects become important so that the α-phase particle is unstable without irradiation but becomes stable under irradiation. For large sizes and low temperatures, the α→β transformation cannot occur regardless of irradiation because of bulk driving forces; initially, α-phase particles are stable, whereas the β-phase particles are unstable. In some cases, nucleation requires a large additional energy change, resulting in a low probability of phase change fluctuations. This behavior is confirmed by calculations for iron particles under irradiation. Substances characterized by high vacancy migration energy, small diffusion coefficients of defects, and low temperatures of first-order phase transitions can serve as suitable candidates for radiation-induced phase transitions in nanosystems. Ceramic nanomaterials, which possess high vacancy migration energy, will have their behavior significantly influenced by radiation doses. In contrast, most metals exhibit small vacancy migration energy and demonstrate better resistance to irradiation, making them recommended candidates for nuclear materials.
The Effect Of Company Size, Profitability, Leverage, And Institutional Ownership On Tax Avoidance With Liquidity As A Moderating Variable In Construction Industry Companies Listed On The Indonesian Stock Exchange For The Period 2018- 2022
Authors: Galingging Novina
Published: November 2024

Taxes are one of the primary sources of state revenue and are very important in supporting development and financing state expenditure. However, the achievement of tax revenue in Indonesia still needs to be below the average of Asia Pacific countries, partly due to tax avoidance efforts. Some companies use legal loopholes or take illegal actions to minimize taxes payable, such as shifting income abroad. This study analyzes the effect of company size, profitability, leverage, and institutional ownership on tax avoidance, with liquidity as a moderating variable. The sample comprises 64 construction companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2018-2022, with 320 observations. The research model uses Generalised Least Square (GLS) for direct effects and Two Stage Least Square (TSLS) for indirect effects. The  results  showed  that  company  size,  profitability,  and  institutional  ownership  do  not significantly affect tax avoidance, while leverage has a positive impact. In addition, liquidity, as measured by the Current Ratio, does not strengthen the effect of firm size, profitability, leverage, or institutional ownership on tax avoidance.

Kidney disease involves the progressive decline of kidney function, leading to complications like cardiovascular disease, anemia, and electrolyte imbalances. Poor knowledge and non-compliance with treatment regimens exacerbate these issues, increasing morbidity, mortality, hospital visits, and reducing patients' quality of life. This study investigated factors affecting treatment compliance among renal patients at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital and Babcock University Teaching Hospital in Ogun State. A descriptive cross-sectional design surveyed 340 renal patients from these institutions, with 191 and 149 respondents from each hospital respectively, selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected using self-structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 23.0, with results displayed in frequency-percentage tables and hypotheses tested at a 5% error level. Findings indicated that 65.7% of respondents were female, predominantly aged 26-35. Over half were employed, with a significant portion earning N50,000 - N100,000. The study identified the high cost of kidney disease medications as the primary factor (x=3.11) influencing treatment compliance. Recommendations include exploring financial assistance or insurance coverage to reduce the cost burden of managing kidney disease and improving access to affordable healthcare services, such as subsidized medications, lab tests, and dialysis, particularly for financially challenged patients.

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) sapwood of 200 × 20 × 80 mm3 (L×R×T) was treated with both cell wall filling and lumen filling chemical agents (low-molecular phenol-formaldehyde, bio-oil, N-methylol/N-methyl compounds, sorbitol-citric acid, polysiloxane), which were fixed inside the wooden structure during heat-curing processes. The present study investigated the impact of the appointed chemical modifications on the surface characteristics of wood, which was addressed by measurements of the surface roughness (Ra), surface free energy (SFE), contact angles, wettability and its bonding quality. Independent of the chemical agents applied, Ra decreased as result of the chemical treatments, while SFE experienced a reduction. The Ra and SFE of both untreated and modified pine specimens increased after weathering processes. The weathering was appointed to cause a decrease in the equilibrium contact angle (θe) and an increase in the constant contact angle change rate (K-value). Increasing K-values after weathering for both untreated and modified pine specimens indicated their better wettability. Increasing wettability after weathering led to better adherence of acrylic paints on the surface of the Scots pine wood. In summary, the chemical modifications decreased the Ra and SFE of the pine sapwood, which may as a consequence affect the wettability and bonding quality of wood during outdoor exposure.

The state of the Caspian Sea ecosystems causes serious concern due to anthropogenic (oil and gas production and transportation) and natural reasons (climatic changes, extreme meteorological and hydrological phenomena, natural hazards and their frequency of recurrence, etc.). Climatic changes have already led to a sharp drop in the Caspian Sea level, an increase in sea surface temperature, changes in ice conditions in the Northern Caspian, the intensity of phytoplankton blooms, especially in the Southern Caspian, an increase in turbidity in coastal areas due to river runoff, and changes in the frequency and intensity of wind patterns.  As a rule, such phenomena have a significant specific (more often negative) impact on the natural systems and infrastructure of the coastal zone. To understand the current state and climatic changes in the main parameters of the marine environment in the Caspian Sea and to carry out its comprehensive analysis, it is necessary to use remote sensing data and to determine correctly different environmental parameters. Our experience shows that in many cases standard algorithms for retrieval of these parameters from the remote sensing data that are elaborated, calibrated and validated for the open ocean conditions, are not valid for inland seas which have their own specific physico-geographical, oceanographic and meteorological conditions. The paper presents a review of new algorithms and techniques developed during the past decade for correct retrieval of sea surface temperature, water turbidity, suspended particulate matter concentration, as well as determination of ice cover, river plumes, and wind surge areas based first of all on Ocean Color Data: MSI Sentinel-2A, -2B; OLI/TIRS Landsat-8 and OLI-2/TIRS-2 Landsat-9. These algorithms have been introduced into the specialized information and analytical system “See the Caspian Sea” (STCS), designed for collecting, analyzing and visualizing satellite and meteorological data for the Caspian Sea region.

in managing patients with both physical and psychiatric comorbidities. However, the perspectives and experiences of medical trainees in non-psychiatric specialties concerning collaboration with psychiatric services remain underexplored. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the opinions and perceptions of medical trainees from various non-psychiatric specialties regarding their collaboration with psychiatric services and their management of patients with psychiatric comorbidities. Methods. An online survey was conducted among medical trainees, gathering data on demographics, psychiatric training, access to psychiatric services, and strategies for managing patients with psychiatric comorbidities. The survey also assessed the barriers to collaboration with psychiatrists. Results. Forty-nine trainees completed the online survey, primarily based in Bucharest and representing various specialties and training levels. Only 22.4% had psychiatry rotations in their curricula, with varying durations. Access to psychiatric resources was limited, and 70% believed available resources were insufficient. While most trainees were willing to recommend psychiatric evaluations, patient stigma toward psychiatry and the scarcity of available psychiatrists posed significant barriers. Conclusion. This study highlights the importance of addressing psychiatric comorbidities in medical practice and the need for standardized psychiatric training across specialties. Collaborative efforts between medical professionals and psychiatrists are crucial, but challenges such as stigma and resource limitations must be addressed. The findings provide valuable insights for healthcare institutions and policymakers to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and improve patient care in the context of psychiatric comorbidities.
Depression in autistic adults

Published: November 2024

Introduction. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by qualitative alteration in social interaction and communication, restricted interests and stereotyped behaviors. When children with autism transition into adulthood, their encounter more obstacles regarding their identity and sense of self. Their difficulties frequently lead to depression; often presented in an atypically compared with non-autistic population. Materials and methods. This paper is a literature review summarizing several scientific articles looking at the clinical features and treatments of depression in autistic adults. The included studies were selected following systematic searches conducted on the PubMed online database. A total of 32 scientific articles were included. Results. Selected articles presented the prevalence and described the clinical features of depression in autistic population. Various risk factors were identified, and different approaches to managing the disorder, including pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, were summarized. Conclusions. Depression in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be recognized based on studies that accurately describe the condition in relation to factors like gender, age, or IQ. However, established treatment guidelines are lacking, and pharmacotherapy is often based on clinical practice rather than formal protocols.
