This paper presents attempts to define and analyze the genre of dystopia from its origins to the present day – through the very beginnings of its literature to movies as they are now. Examples have sought to show how dystopia as a genre has progressed, especially at the turn of the new millenium. The genre firstly gained popularity with the Matrix trilogy, but the great expansion of dystopia troughout the cinematography is dated just few years ago, with new teenage trilogies depicting young characters fighting for survival in a world that has been nearly destroyed. Since then, dystopia has begun to receive more attention from audiences as well as critics than ever before. An analysis of scholary articles, books and newspaper articles was carried out by comparison with films whose dystopian themes could be a sign of the times that are perhaps coming. Specifically, the movies that were analyzed include topics such as social activity, economics, technology, ecology or psychology.

Utopia is an appropriate word to describe about the ideal, worthy, and perfect life depicted in a city called Metro City in the Astro Boy animation. This study examines the animation movie Astro Boy and how the world that is being told in the works could be defined as Utopian world like it is being described through the movie. The purpose of this study is to proof whether the setting successfully conveyed the Utopian world or whether it still has some deficiency as Utopian is known as impossibly perfect world to be created. The corpus of this study is the movie of Astro Boy focuses on the setting and relationship between human kind and robots. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method which describes social phenomena by conducting in-depth understanding and analysis. The aims of this research is to analyze more deeply the picture contained in the animation, which shows how humans and robots are able to create a new world also coexist. Moreover, the conceptual framework that will be use is the theory of Capitalism and Classism in order to examine the setting of Utopian world.

The Manifestation of Classism in the Astro Boy Animation

In Egypt, academic organizations, professional societies, and research groups develop clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in order to improve patient quality care and safety. Although important improvements have been made over the past years, many of these consensus-based guideline documents still lack the transparency and methodological rigor of international standards and methodologies recommended by reference evidence-based healthcare and guideline organizations like the Guidelines International Network.In the Egyptian Pediatric Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee (EPG), we have adopted one of the CPG formal adaptation methodological frameworks named the 'Adapted ADAPTE', relevant CPG resources (e.g., the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation or AGREE II Instrument), and involved key stakeholders including clinical and healthcare topic experts and guideline methodologists in producing 32 trustworthy national evidence-based CPGs and one protocol customized to the healthcare context and services provided for Egyptian children. An EPG online website was launched to make these CPGs available and accessible as CPG summaries for pediatricians and relevant healthcare providers.The lessons learned, enablers, challenges, and solutions relevant to Egyptian National Pediatric CPGs identified in this paper could be used to address and enrich the debate on pediatric high-quality CPGs, especially for countries of similar contexts and systems.The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s42269-023-01059-0.

Adapting global evidence-based practice guidelines to the Egyptian healthcare context: the Egyptian Pediatric Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee (EPG) initiative

A Perfect World or an Oppressive World: A Critical Study of Utopia and Dystopia as Subgenres of Science Fiction

Background: The presented evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) is proposed as a National CPG using an evidence-based and formal CPG adaptation methodology. The purpose of this study was to adapt the international CPGs’ recommendations for term and late preterm neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia to suit the healthcare system in the Egyptian context. This CPG provides a framework for prediction, prevention and management of severe hyperbilirubinemia in newborn infants of 35 or more weeks of gestation. The quality of evidence and strength of recommendations are indicated. The guideline adaptation group was chosen from various Egyptian Universities. There was an active involvement of a Multidisciplinary Review Committee following a standardized process. The Neonatology Guideline Adaptation Group (NGAG) was assigned individual health questions to cover the different sections of the required CPG. A literature search for source CPGs was carried out. The NGAG studied several guidelines. Critical appraisal was done by AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation) Instrument to rate and select the appropriate guidelines. Results : The NGAG decided to adapt mainly the American Academy of Pediatrics Guideline (2004, 2009 & 2011) and for the questions which were not answered; the best and most relevant evidence available was used. Implementation tools were sought for to facilitate the application of the adapted CPG. Conclusion: The finalized CPG offers healthcare providers with applicable evidence-based guidance for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the Egyptian context. The Adapted ADAPTE method emphasized the value of collaborative clinical and methodological expert groups’ efforts for adaptation of national guidelines.
