Objectives: Exposure to latex allergens in latex gloves can cause occupational health problems in nurses, yet latex gloves are still widely used in Thai hospitals. Therefore, we conducted a study to determine the prevalence of latex sensitization in nurses and identify risk factors associated with sensitization. Methods: A questionnaire, providing information on personal characteristics, ill-health, working conditions and symptoms related to latex product use, was administered to 363 female nurses working in two tertiary hospitals in southern Thailand. Latex sensitization was confirmed using a solid phase immunoassay to detect anti-latex IgE antibodies. Total glove protein levels were determined by using a modified Lowry method and latex aeroallergens by a competitive inhibition immunoassay. Results: The overall prevalence of latex sensitization was 4.4%. Respiratory symptoms related to latex glove use were significantly associated with latex sensitization (OR = 5.5, 95% CI: 1.57-19). Total glove protein levels ranged 87.8-250.8 μg protein/dm². The prevalence of latex sensiti- zation was higher (6.6% vs. 2.2%) in the hospital where gloves with higher protein levels (82-438 μg/g vs. 86-170 μg/g) were used. Furthermore, latex sensitization prevalence increased from 3% to 5% with increased average departmental aeroallergen concentrations. Conclusions: Latex sensitization prevalence in Thai nurses was higher than previously reported. Respiratory exposure seems to play an important role, in addition to dermal exposure. If latex gloves cannot be replaced by non-latex alternatives, replacement with gloves with lower protein content should be considered.

In this article, an attempt was made to define the role and function of sensitization, also known as a "linguistic warm-up" in a foreign language lesson. Using arguments embedded in the constructivist paradigm, it was shown that the linguistic warm-up is an indispensable element of an effective didactic process, performing primarily a motivating and autonomizing function. The article mainly exposes the role of the warm up in activating the previous knowledge of a student and emphasizes its importance for the possibility of supporting the "bottom - up" processes in the course of the lesson. The warm-up was also assigned the function of activating anchoring ideas by referring to Ausubel's theory of advance organizers and his concept of meaningful learning. In addition, it describes how the linguistic warm-up is interpreted in the German language curricula, and briefly presents the author's point of view on the issue of sensitization in the process of foreign language education.

W niniejszym artykule podjęta została próba zdefiniowania roli i funkcji sensybilizacji zwanej również „rozgrzewką językową” na lekcji języka obcego. Posługując się argumentacją osadzoną w paradygmacie konstruktywistycznym wykazano, iż rozgrzewka językowa jest niezbędnym elementem skutecznego procesu dydaktycznego, pełniąc przede wszystkim funkcję motywującą i autonomizującą. W artykule wyeksponowano przede wszystkim rolę, jaką pełni rozgrzewka w aktywizowaniu wiedzy uprzedniej ucznia i zaakcentowano jej znaczenie dla możliwości wsparcia procesów ”góra - dół” w przebiegu lekcji. Rozgrzewce przypisano również funkcję uaktywniania idei zakotwiczających odwołując się do teorii schematów antycypacyjnych Ausubela i jego koncepcji uczenia się ze zrozumieniem. Ponadto opisano, jak interpretowana jest rozgrzewka językowa w programach nauczania języka niemieckiego oraz przedstawiono krótko punkt widzenia autorki na kwestię sensybilizacji w procesie edukacji obcojęzycznej.

The paper is an attempt to define possibilities and limitations of fulfilling the assumptions of sustainable development on the level of formal edu-cation in the context of respecting culture and nature. The authors refer to two areas of education – artistic and environmental – which are connected by the relationships between biodiversity and cultural diversity. Common objectives of art and environmental education (sensitivity), common ways of educational methods (multisensory experience) and common contents (cultural education) are suggested by the authors to be factors favoring the fulfillment of the concept, while the structure and language of core curriculum is considered to be a poten-tial threat.

Tekst stanowi próbę określenia możliwości i ograniczeń realizacji założeń zrównoważonego rozwoju na poziomie edukacji formalnej w kontekś cie poszanowania kultury i natury. Autorki odnoszą się do dwóch obszarów edu-kacji – artystycznej i środowiskowej – które łączy istnienie związków między bioróżnorodnością a różnorodnością kulturową. Wspólne cele tych edukacji (wrażliwość), wspólne sposoby oddziaływań wychowawczych (doświadczanie wielozmysłowe) i wspólny obszar treściowy (edukacja kulturowa) autorki wska-zują jako czynniki sprzyjające urzeczywistnianiu koncepcji, zaś strukturę i język programu nauczania jako potencjalne zagrożenie.

A simple question for many, idle for others, but necessary to answer for everyone, is why the comparison question occupies a first position based on the relevant question when it comes to format sequences corresponding to deception polygraph techniques. This questioning is transcendent when it occurs in the context of the scientific, legal debate, or due to the scrutiny of polygraph consumers who make administrative decisions based on the diagnostic results. However, within the polygraphy union it seems that the answer has been dealt with in informal settings, in hallway talks or as a classroom topic, but the truth is that its documentary formality seems to be scarce, for this reason, this discussion has the intention of providing basic knowledge to field examiners about this procedural unknown, of which, we are convinced that they are the ones who must be prepared to answer this and other procedural questions in order to maintain the scientific reputation of our profession.

The transdisciplinary field of creative writing offers didactic tools for working with text in various analytical-interpretive, imitative, or text-creating operations in the fields of literature, journalism, professional writing, and translation. Creative writing has elaborated methods for developing the skills necessary for making texts, from the modelling of theme and structure, to the development of individual style, to optimization and self-reflective writing. These methods include: reception and analysis; identification of meaning and other (stylistic, macropoetic, and genre-based) characteristics; interpretation; and assessment. In this way, creative writing techniques are not only relevant to professional and popular writing, but to the teaching of literature, literary theory, stylistic procedures, and translation. In this essay, the author presents examples from his work with university students, to demonstrate the potential, using targeted exercises, for developing and deepening empathy towards text-based works, as well as the possibilities and advantages of applying creative text-making strategies when working with texts. Creative writing thus appears to be a methodologically, quantitatively, and qualitatively suitable choice for the development of communication competences based on working with texts.
