The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate the importance and necessity of bringing together the considerations of language and reproduction. While other topics of sexuality have aroused interest in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology, the ideas, practices, and experiences of human reproduction, notably pregnancy, remain understudied. At the same time, a discussion of language has been largely absent from the anthropology of reproduction, which has emerged in the last twenty years as an especially vibrant area of cultural and social study. The chapter examines the metaphors and discourses or the “talk about” reproduction; the interactions and “talk between” people, like pregnant women and medical health care providers, which shapes the ordinary experiences of reproduction; the “talk to” parties (specifically, fetuses and imagined children) who themselves become constituted through talk; and reproduction as literacy event or one that is mediated and experienced in relation to texts. It is asserted that language is a practice of reproduction.

Aim. To assess the territorial accessibility of primary health care (PHC) to the rural population in the Orenburg region. Methods. Statistical, monographic, organizational experiment research methods were applied. Statistical processing was carried out by using the Statistica 10.0 software. Basic statistics were calculated (arithmetic mean, weighted arithmetic mean). All parameters were checked by using ShapiroWilk, KolmogorovSmirnov and Lilliefors tests for normal distribution. The parametric method of statistics (Student's t-test) was used. Results. The assessment of the territorial accessibility of primary medical health care to the population of the Orenburg region was carried out using the methodology developed by us for calculating the criteria for the accessibility of primary medical health care to the rural population Rating of medical organizations according to the criterion of territorial accessibility of primary medical care to the rural population. The use the methodology allows making management decisions regarding the territorial planning of primary health care for the rural population in the selection of problem areas with low accessibility of primary medical care. In the Orenburg region, there are the following problems: different levels of accessibility of primary health care with a variety of distance up to 30 km and different population sizes in settlements create difficulties in organizing the provision of primary health care; remoteness from the regional center up to 300 km forms a personnel deficit. Conclusion. Application of the methodology Rating of medical organizations according to the criterion of territorial accessibility of primary medical care to the rural population in the Orenburg region has allowed the development of the following recommendations for making management decisions at the regional level: (1) prioritization of territories for priority measures to ensure the availability help; (2) selection of the form of primary health care organization for the timely medical care provision to the population; (3) the formation of competition among medical organizations in the ranking of the availability of primary health care.

Abstract Background In Germany academic degree programs for non-medical health care professions (nursing, physical, occupational and speech language therapy, midwifery) have been established only recently, even if they play a key role in today´s complex patient-centered health care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development and current state of German education research in these professions as well as to conduct a comparison to international research activities in this field.Method To achieve these objectives a bibliometric and content-related publication analysis was performed from 2008 to 2017 in four international high-impact journals. Based on appropriate inclusion criteria (bibliographical and biographical criteria, focus on first and last author, original study) and their development into a coding scheme, articles were recorded systematically and results analyzed quantitatively and content-wise. Group comparisons between German and international health care professions as well as interdisciplinary comparisons between the individual professions were performed.Results On the whole, 11.891 articles were analyzed for participation of the respective target groups, either as first or as last author. Of these, 164 original studies met the inclusion criteria with 157 publications pertaining to international and only seven to German health care professionals. The majority of authors belonged to the discipline of nursing science (n=138). North America (36.63%), Australia (18.32%) and Asia (14.85%) rank among the regions that publish most frequently. Publications by German health care professionals are rare but showed an overall high level of quality.Conclusion International publication activities by non-medical health care professionals have been on the rise in recent years. Specific funding measures as well as transnational and interdisciplinary collaborations may be potential ways of strengthening and expanding education research in countries with only young academic experiences.
