Vancomycin-Allergy and Linezolid-Resistance in Patient with Methicillin-Resistance Staphylococcus aureus and Multi-Drug Resistance Acinetobacter baumannii Infection
Authors: Wayan Wahyu Semara Putra , Ni Made Dwita Yaniswara , Laveda Sandy , Nathania Evelyn
Published: June 2023

Background: Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) has been burdening the healthcare system, especially when bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are involved. They created a dilemma regarding the appropriate antibiotic therapy utilized against them, especially when the patient is allergic/intolerant to their drug of choice.
Case: A 71-year-old man developed HAP while he was admitted for an ischaemic stroke. His bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) culture showed MRSA and Acinetobacter baumannii infection with multiple drug resistance including one of the drugs for MRSA infection, linezolid. Amikacin and vancomycin were given, but he developed an allergy to vancomycin. Due to the difficulty in treating him, we opted to administer only amikacin. His clinical condition showed daily improvement. During the last day of hospitalization, his sputum culture showed only normal flora. He no longer needed oxygen therapy and there was no longer any indication for him to be hospitalized.
Conclusion: Individuals with multiple comorbidities, recent antibiotic use within the past 90 days, and immune-deficient conditions are at a higher risk of developing infections, including the possibility of dual infections. In this case, we found that the patient was unable to tolerate first-line drugs for MRSA like linezolid and vancomycin, which makes it difficult to decide upon effective treatments.

Published: June 2023

A Cardiopatia Congênita (CC) é uma malformação na estrutura ou função do coração que surge nas primeiras oito semanas de gestação. É o resultado de uma alteração no desenvolvimento embrionário da estrutura cardíaca. Podendo ser acompanhada de sinais clínicos como arritmias cardíacas, taquipneia, cianose, entre outros. Apesar de sua origem ainda ser considerada desconhecida, estudos genéticos com base na investigação do DNA vêm permitindo associar seu surgimento a variações do material genético. Tais estudos possibilitam aperfeiçoar o reconhecimento clínico e terapêutico das más formações.  A taxa de incidência de cardiopatias congênitas no mundo é de 8 em cada 1000 nascidos. Esse número tem estimulado o cirurgião-dentista a buscar novos conhecimentos para que haja um melhor atendimento a estes pacientes e que seja feito com maior segurança possível.
Religious Commodification: Muslim Housing and Identity Affirmation in Lombok, Indonesia
Authors: Suprapto Suprapto , Huda Miftahul
Published: June 2023

The rise of Muslim housing in Lombok excites the question of whether it indicates people’s religiosity reinforcement or religious symbol exploitation in business. Exclusive residences for a particular religious community may seed spatial and social segregation. Religiously separated houses may threaten social integration. This article is based on field research focusing on Muslim housing developers’ motives, consumers’ reasons, and the dynamic interaction of Muslim housing residents and its impact on social integration. This study shows that religious commodification in the property business allures consumers, particularly urban Muslims. Religious commodification also affirms Islamic identity but does not contribute to the piety enhancement of Muslim housing residents. Furthermore, Muslim housing development does not disrupt social interaction and cooperation among people in a multicultural society. Exclusivism and religious extremism are not troublesome. However, the potential of sporadic Islamic sectarianism to a comparatively small degree in some Muslim residential complexes should be taken into consideration.
Cadar dan Tradisi Diskursif "Taat" bagi Perempuan Muslim Indonesia

Published: June 2023

Eva F. Nisa. 2023. Face-Veiled Women in Contemporary Indonesia. London and New York: RoutledgeMost studies of face-veiled Muslim women are placed in the stereotype discourse; a part of subordination or terrorist group affiliation. Many scholars also argue that those women’s bodies are exploited under the patriarchal structure and its religious interpretation with the dominant male’s perspective. Eva F. Nisa in this book has proposed a different perspective, employing ethnographic research and taking a case study of two women communities of Islamic revivalist backgrounds (Jamaah Tabligh and Salafi Movement) in Indonesia. Throughout developing from Saba Mahmood’s theory of the politic of piety mostly, Nisa found that the Islamic lifestyle is the firm argument among the cadari, in which they practice the term of taat, which is part of a discursive tradition in Islam, to strengthen their path in the true path of Islam.

Published: June 2023

Introduction. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms greatly limit daily activities and cause functional disability, limiting participation and reducing quality of life. It is necessary to evaluate patients’ perspectives to clinical outcomes regarding the quality and success of knee OA management. The Knee Outcome Survey Activity Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS) is an instrument to assess these perspectives. This study tests the validity and reliability of a translation of KOS-ADLS.

Methods. This study is a cross-sectional study involving 65 subjects and was conducted in the Medical Rehabilitation Department, Musculoskeletal division of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from 01/10/2020 to 31/08/2021. Results from the Indonesia translation of KOS-ADLS (KOS-

ADLS-Ina) were tested for validity with Pearson correlation with p<0.05 and r>0.3 and reliability was tested with internal consistency of α-cronbach and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient ≥ 0.7.Results. The correlation value for total items was 0.461–0.792. As for the internal consistency the α-cronbach set at 0.911 and ICC was 0.969 (0.950–0.981). KOS-ADLS-Ina is proved that both Pearson’s correlation and internal consistency values have value above the minimal intended value with significancy p<0.05.

Conclusions. KOS-ADLS-Ina is demonstrated to be a valid and reliable functional capacity instrument to be used in the Indonesian population.
Sport and leisure-time physical activity over the life course
Authors: Klostermann Claudia , Lenze Lars , Lamprecht Markus , Nagel Siegfried
Published: June 2023

It is desirable to get as many people as possible to engage in long-term leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) due to the health-enhancing effects. Although the proportion of individuals who are physically active in their leisure time appears to have increased in Switzerland in the past years NO RENDERER SUPPLIED, little is known so far about the dynamic of change in LTPA trajectories over the life course. LTPA trajectories of 1,456 Swiss residents aged 35 to 76 years (random sampling) were reconstructed with the help of a retrospective telephone interview (CATI method). To address the difficulties of retrospective data collection, the article presents the careful development of the questionnaire on the basis of current evidence. The majority of the respondents (approx. 73%) show a long-term LTPA without dropout (dropout = LTPA less than once a week over one year and longer), only a minority of whom (approx. 18%) took up their LTPA after the age of 20. In addition, there is also a group with a somewhat unstable LTPA trajectory (approx. 24%) that includes at least one dropout. For members of the latter group, the longer the inactive episode lasted, the lower were their chances of entering an LTPA. While the different LTPA trajectory groups differed only slightly with regard to socioeconomic characteristics, analyses of their sport- and physical activity-related history reveal that self-organized LTPA in childhood and youth may be seen as a success factor for lifelong LTPA. The proportion of people practicing (long-term) LTPA is presumably overrepresented in the sample. This limitation should be taken into account, but analyses of possible advantageous conditions of long-term or lifelong LTPA are nevertheless possible. The results indicate a demand for more specific theories related to the causality behind the observable LTPA behavior.

The urgency of the matter. In recent years, there has been a high demand for various types of complex NPK fertilizers in the world mineral fertilizer market. This situation is primarily related to their high agrochemical value, because such fertilizers allow to introduce all three most important nutrients into the soil at the same time - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.Plant growth, development and high yields are directly related to their nutrition. Fertilizers have a great role in providing plants with nutrients. They are important in increasing soil fertility, increasing the productivity of agricultural plants and improving the quality of the obtained product.
As we know, fertilizers with nutrient elements should be applied separately to the soil¬¬copper has a number of disadvantages. All mineral fertilizers contain several chemical elements, some of which can harm plants. So, e.g. in the production of phosphorous fertilizers, CaSO4 obtained as a result of processing phosphates with sulfuric acid is introduced into the soil as a ballast. Also, a certain amount of fluorine is transferred to the soil with superphosphate. During the processing of phosphates with nitric acid, the active hydrogen ion is used to split the phosphates, while the anions remain as the desired nitrogen component in the finished product. However, a slightly higher dose of nitrogen fertilizer can lead to a decrease in soil fertility and contamination of food products¬¬causes Thus, in the obtained product, nitrates increase, vitamin "C", sugar decreases, the plant develops unilaterally, which lowers its biological value. Ka¬¬lium fertilizers are also very necessary for plants. However, most potash fertilizers contain ballast elements (CI, Na). When high doses of systematic fertilization are carried out, they accumulate in the soil and reduce fertility, ultimately not improving the quality of either the plant or the soil. Other metals contained in it (Cd, Hg, Pb, Al) can accumulate in living organisms and cause various poisonings by entering groundwater. In this regard, also with macro and micronutrients¬¬¬¬ha highly concentrated and agrochemically more effective liquid complex fertilizer¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬organization of the production of seeds, including NPK¬¬The production of complex fertilizers rich in trace elements is an actual problem of the modern era.
The most interesting are concentrated NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) liquid-complex fertilizers. Nitrogen-based fertilizers use ammonium nitrate and urea, the nitrogen content of which is 35.0% and 46.7%, respectively. In the first case, the product is called nitroammophos, in the second - carboammophos.

Study of reactor modeling in the process of aniline synthesis. Every year the demand for aniline is growing all over the world, and, accordingly, the capacity of its production. The areas of consumption of this product are different: the production of isocyanates used in the industry of building materials (foams, decorative parts, pipe insulation, etc.), in the shoe industry, additives to motor fuels; production of pharmaceutical preparations; organic dyes and pigments; herbicides.The object of study of this work is an industrial reactor related to shell-and-tube vertical apparatuses.The purpose of this work is to improve the process of synthesis of aniline using a mathematical model.The parameters of the equations describing the rate of the aniline synthesis process are determined; a mathematical model of an industrial reactor was developed taking into account the strong exothermicity of the aniline formation reaction.A computer model of the aniline synthesis reactor was developed, the adequacy of which was confirmed experimentally, allowing to determine the values of output characteristics in a wide range of changes in technological and design parameters; the influence of technological and design parameters on the process of aniline synthesis was studied. Based on the results of scientific research, 2 abstracts of conferences were published. Beginning in the early 1970s, American Cyanamide (USA) developed an original technology to produce aniline through the ammonolysis of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid was reacted with aqueous ammonia solution in the presence of cupric oxide at 215-220 °C and 3.5-4.2 MPa. Benzoic acid is produced according to known technology through the liquid phase oxidation of toluene with the help of cobalt salts at a temperature of 130-140 ° C and 0.21-0.22 MPa under strong heat removal conditions.

Published: June 2023

Climate change, industrialization, global warming, dust storms, etc. influence rainfall, and rainwater quality. The current research aimed to examine rainwater quality parameters in Erbil Province, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Additionally, the evaluation of rainwater quality for various uses and mapping using a Geographic Information System (GIS) were other goals for the present work. Rainwater samples were collected from December 2019 to February 2020. The samples were collected at Erbil City Center and outside of Erbil City Center, which are represented by plain, hilly, and mountain zones. Rainwater samples were collected from Global City Quarter, New Zanco Village Quarter, Qalat (Citadel) Area, Bakhtiyari Quarter, Zamzamok Village, and Hujran Area. 21 rainwater quality parameters were tested for the collected samples. Further, the measured parameters were sulfate, turbidity, total solids, electric conductivity, pH, etc. Maps for the rainwater quality index were illustrated by the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation method using GIS. The findings showed that samples of rainwater taken from outside Erbil City were cleaner than those taken from the center of Erbil City. Furthermore, rainwater from the hills was cleaner than that from plain areas and the city center. The study found that Erbil Province rainwater may often be used immediately for irrigation, fish production, swimming, and building. However, for drinking and domestic purposes, only sedimentation and disinfection are needed.
Application of CHATGPT in civil engineering
Authors: Aluga Martin
Published: June 2023

Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are changing the way tasks are accomplished. CHATGPT is a well-known conversational artificial intelligence (AI) system based on the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) architecture, launched by OpenAI. CHATGPT is trained through reinforcement learning based on human feedback. There are advantages to the use of CHATGPT in Civil engineering, including but not limited to design and planning:  structural analysis and simulation, code compliance and regulations construction management, knowledge repository and information retrieval, education, and research. The limitation of CHATGPT is the bias based on the datasets used in CHATGPT training, the requirement of sufficient input information, as well as the risk of bias and transparency issues, and negative consequences if generating inaccurate content. The use of CHATGPT and other language models in civil engineering requires careful consideration to ensure not bypassing expert consultation in particular cases. Deep Learning based language models would have a positive impact on civil engineering rather than replacing human expertise and improving the infrastructure development in the world and solving challenges facing mankind

Revisiting the Chemistry and Crystal Structure of Sveite
Authors: Knaack Derek R. , Peterson Ronald C. , Reid Joel W. , Leybourne Matthew I. , Layton-Matthews Daniel
Published: June 2023

Sveite, KAl7(NO3)4(OH)16Cl2·8H2O, is a rare, water-soluble mineral with an undetermined atomic structure. New major, minor, and trace element data for sveite from three localities (Cerro Autana Cave, Venezuela; San Joaquin Valley, USA; Ponta Grossa, Brazil) are reported using modern analytical techniques (inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and ion chromatography). Powder X-ray diffraction, micro-X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are used to characterize the identity of residues following digestions of different strengths, i.e., ultrapure H2O, 2%, 20%, and concentrated HCl acid. Sveite from Venezuela has approximately 3 wt.% more K and 5 wt.% less Al than reported by Martini (1980), and that from California has 20 wt.% less Al than was reported by Graham et al. (1988). Sveite from California has higher N (∼8 wt.%) and lower K (4.5 wt.%), Al (∼12 wt.%), and Cl (∼0.5 wt.%) contents compared to that from Venezuela (∼6 wt.% N, ∼7 wt.% K, ∼15 wt.% Al, and ∼10 wt.% Cl contents). Sveite from Brazil has extremely low K (<0.1 wt.%) and high N (∼24 wt.%) contents with respect to those from the other localities. To inhibit formation of aluminum chloride on dissolution, which can subsequently impact results from geochemical analyses, it is recommended that ultrapure H2O be used to digest sveite. Geochemical and spectroscopic evidence suggests that sveite from different localities may represent distinct mineral species within a potentially larger group of sveite-type minerals. A revised chemical formula for sveite from Venezuela is K2.73Al7.97(NO3)6O8.27Cl4.1·35H2O, Z = 2, leading to a more general formula of (K3−x□x) Al8(NO3)6O8Cl4·nH2O, Z = 2. The lack of K and Cl in material from other localities that shows similar powder diffraction patterns would require a more general formula.

Published: June 2023

A agricultura familiar desempenha um importante papel na implantação de modelos mais sustentáveis de produção agrícola, principalmente por se relacionar diretamente com as questões de natureza socioambiental.  O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar um estudo de caso em comunidades rurais assistidas pelo Programa Estadual de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural para verificar se há utilização adequada dos recursos naturais e preservação do meio ambiente, em atendimento à legislação ambiental. O trabalho foi conduzido no município de Cruz das Almas - BA, em três comunidades rurais de agricultores familiares que estão sendo assistidos pelo serviço de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural do Estado da Bahia (ATER). Para se diagnosticar as características de uso e manejo agroambiental das propriedades, foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado para coleta dos dados. As comunidades apresentaram 79,3%, 61,6% e 66,6% de cultivo agrícola em áreas com declividade entre 5 a 20%, solos em estágio de degradação ou degradados e erosão laminar com avanços para pequenas voçorocas, respectivamente. Além disso, observou-se ainda que 66,6% das famílias entrevistadas faz o uso de agroquímicos. Em termos de Áreas Preservação Permanente constatou-se que 79,2% das propriedades não apresentaram áreas com características para adoção desta prática e não foi constatada a presença de Reserva Legal. Averiguou-se que 95,8% do lixo inorgânico são lançados a céu aberto ou queimados gerando poluição ambiental. Concluiu-se que se faz necessária a existência de um serviço de ATER qualificado e atuante para que seja possível a adequação das propriedades a legislação ambiental visando o desenvolvimento rural sustentável.

Proteção Ambiental do Solo Brasileiro - Breves Considerações Sobre o Descarte Adequado de Medicamentos Vencidos: Informação e Exercício da Cidadania
Authors: Soares Macedo Maria Fernanda
Published: June 2023

Resumo: A Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988 (a Lei Maior Nacional, que apresenta todas as diretrizes para a legislação brasileira infraconstitucional) estabelece, em seu art. 225, caput, que “todos têm direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado, bem de uso comum do povo e essencial à sadia qualidade de vida, impondo-se ao Poder Público e à coletividade o dever de defendê-lo e preservá-lo para as presentes e futuras gerações”. É possível concluir, desta forma, que existe a obrigação de proteção do meio ambiente tanto na esfera pública quanto na esfera privada. A exigência da preservação ambiental, entretanto, esbarra em diversos percalços. Um dos grandes desafios para a referida preservação é justamente a falta de informações para as pessoas, para a precaução e para que os danos sejam evitados. O adequado descarte de medicamentos é um dos exemplos. As informações corretamente prestadas para a população estão diretamente vinculadas com a garantia do exercício de cidadania, bem como permitem a participação de todos em medidas que protegem a tutela coletiva. O objetivo do presente artigo científico é trazer à baila a discussão sobre a importância do descarte correto de medicamentos, buscando, com o levantamento de aspectos teóricos, apresentar importantes informações para que seja evitada a contaminação do solo, além da contaminação cruzada.Palavras-chave: descarte correto de medicamentos; contaminação do solo; proteção ambiental do solo brasileiro.
Trabalho Escravo Contemporâneo: a Nova Face de um Antigo Dilema
Authors: Borges Delvânia Almeida
Published: June 2023

O propósito do artigo é analisar a situação do trabalho escravo contemporâneo no Brasil. O trabalho em condições análogas às de escravo, ou trabalho escravo contemporâneo, afronta o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, desrespeitando os direitos trabalhistas e a Constituição Federal, além de representar verdadeira violação aos direitos humanos. Para realização do trabalho, utilizou-se a pesquisa de campo, bibliográfica e documental. A partir desses instrumentos buscou-se demonstrar os motivos ensejadores do problema no país, os números do trabalho escravo e as formas de combate existentes no Estado Brasileiro. Com a pesquisa foi possível concluir que o problema apresenta números consideráveis, e que, apesar de ser combatido pelo Estado, as questões sócio econômicas fazem com que o problema se renove sempre, criando uma espécie de ciclo vicioso.
El Concepto de Ámbito Jurídico en la Teoría Comunicacional del Derecho
Authors: Robles Morchón Gregorio
Published: June 2023

Este artículo se publicó originalmente em 2011, en un volumen colectivo en homenaje a la Escuela de Derecho de Valparaíso (Chile). En este texto, el autor describe las principales características de su Teoría Comunicacional de Derecho. Discutindo el concepto de ámbito jurídico, el autor nos muestra como el sistema condiciona de tal modo todo el ámbito jurídico que, sin considerarlo, es imposible poseer hoy una visión certera. La ciencia jurídica, en efecto, actúa como un intermediario omnipresente en todos los procesos comunicacionales. En torno a, y en conjunción con, esos dos textos nucleares que son el ordenamiento y el sistema se articula el resto de los textos que se producen en el ámbito jurídico.

El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar las conceptualizaciones en torno a las minorías y su relación con la cultura hegemónica occidental. A partir de la delimitación del concepto mismo de minoría y de re pensar los diferentes modos de interacción entre las culturas, se enfatizará la necesidad de articulación de políticas de Estado tendientes a asegurar no solo la supervivencia de las mismas sino también la evaluación de los aportes qué estás pueden brindar al desarrollo global. A partir de la definición del concepto de minoría  haremos énfasis en su el carácter peyorativa del termino y su referencia meramente cuantitativa como modo de respuesta a una visión del mundo hegemónico. Nos referiremos a los procesos de construcción de identidad y la necesidad de reconocimiento de la otredad en la constitución de  nuestra propia identidad. Por último vamos a señalar la necesidad de intervención de la política de públicas en el reconocimiento y la supervivencia de ciertas identidades.

Published: June 2023

O presente artigo tem como principal objetivo apresentar os fatores que contribuem para a prática de vandalismo às pinturas rupestres localizadas na Gruta das Pedras Brilhantes no município de São Desidério no estado da Bahia, enquanto patrimônio cultural da humanidade, sob o enfoque jurídico. Foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica com investigação aos principais danos causados às pinturas rupestres e, a atenção dos órgãos competentes no combate à conduta desviada. Foi ainda desenvolvida uma entrevista com historiadora, guia e secretário do Meio Ambiente e Turismo. A historiadora relatou a importância das pinturas para a história da região oeste e salientou medidas que poderiam ser tomadas para preservação do local. O guia apontou a atual situação das pinturas e do local que estas se encontram, além de informar o funcionamento das visitas. Por último, o secretário de Meio Ambiente e Turismo afirmou que as medidas cabíveis para a preservação das pinturas rupestres não poderiam ser tomadas efetivamente devido ao não tombamento da gruta. Diante disso, pode-se diagnosticar que os atos de vandalismo decorrem da falta de conscientização dos visitantes e da falta de políticas para a preservação do patrimônio.

O Direito à Privacidade do Empregado Face às Decisões de Extinção do Contrato de Trabalho Motivadas pelo Empregador
Authors: Baldissera Wellington Antonio
Published: June 2023

Com a popularização da internet, vários fatos novos passaram a necessitar da tutela do direito, todavia, algumas dessas novas situações não eram tratadas com a atenção que merecem, principalmente no Brasil, onde a grande maioria dos códigos de leis encontram-se desatualizados e os magistrados despreparados para lidar com essas novas questões. A jurisdição em demandas envolvendo a proteção de dados é um destes aspectos que precisou ser melhor analisado, tanto na esfera nacional quanto internacional, principalmente, considerando que envolve aspectos relativos ao direito à privacidade, o qual é um direito fundamental do ser humano. A partir do estudo realizado conclui-se que o empregador não possui o direito de demitir o empregado em face do que foi compartilhado nas redes sociais deste último, exceto em casos que ofendam diretamente o empregador. O método utilizado nessa pesquisa é o monográfico e a técnica de pesquisa é a bibliográfica.
A Atuação das Organizações não Governamentais (ONG`s) na Proteção do Meio Ambiente na Amazônia
Authors: Britto Freire Araujo Daniel
Published: June 2023

O presente estudo versa sobre a atuação das organizações não governamentais na proteção do meio ambiente na Amazônia. Com o advento da Constituição da República em 1988, o meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado foi alçado à condição de verdadeiro direito fundamental de 3ª dimensão, vinculado, assim, ao valor fraternidade e solidariedade. O dever de efetivar tal direito fundamental é de todos: Estado, pessoas jurídicas de direito privado, coletividade e cidadãos individualmente considerados. Neste cenário, as organizações não governamentais, entidades privadas que perseguem uma finalidade de interesse público, ainda que pouco numerosas na Região Norte do Brasil, desempenham um importante papel na preservação da Amazônia, seja com a realização de pesquisas, seja com atuação sobre aspectos sociais que impactam no meio ambiente desse importante bioma.
Transforming Escalation to Negotiation: Rethinking Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) in the Ongoing Russia-Ukraine War
Authors: Idowu Saliu Akeem
Published: June 2023

There have been several pieces of literature on the current war between Russia and Ukraine but little emphasis has been placed on transforming the growing escalation into negotiation. In this study, I discuss the causalities that surround the current war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine from different prisms. Various justifications and other indices which provide the likelihood of escalation to a nuclear conflict were touched. Also, I assessed, if at all, there was politics behind the supplies of ‘defensive weapons’ and other military aid to the warring parties. I propose an urgent arms control treaty not only between the United States and Russia but should also include China as the emerged third force, and other minor nuclear powers. Although, the Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) are mostly prominent before a complex conflict is transformed into conventional war, thus, this study suggests the roles the CBMs can still play in the current war. As such, the study relies on relevant written sources which make the study qualitative in nature.

To achieve the objective of this study, the researchers attempted to answer these questions: 1- What do the students in the English classroom need to learn? 2- Will the active learning strategies help students promoting their language skills? 3- Will the designed activities help maximizing students' participation and interaction in the classroom? 4- To what extent do active learning strategies affect English learners' performance in the English language? The researchers used the quasi- experimental approach. Two instruments were employed for data collection: a questionnaire besides a pre and post- test. (30) female English majors' students of Arts Faculty-Shamli Branch -University of Hail, served as subjects for the study. The participants were distributed into two groups. The first group represented the control group of (15) students; while the second one represented the experimental one of (15) students. The active learning strategies were implemented in teaching the experimental group, and the traditional teaching method was utilized with the control group. A combination tests out of (25) questions, covered all skills (Reading, listening, writing and speaking.) was designed to be used as a pre and post- test. The data analysis of the post-test results showed that there were statistically significant differences between mean results of the experimental and the control group favoring the experimental group; Thus, the experimental group outperformed the control group. Consequently, the use of the active learning strategies proved to have a positive role and effect on EFL Learners' Motivation, Attitudes, Aptitudes and Skills. In their responses to the questionnaires, they reported a very good and positive attitude towards learning English language through using active learning strategies.
