This article explores the challenges in maintaining community nursing placements as dynamic learning experiences for student nurses during the pandemic and beyond. Opportunities to create new ways of working and learning are essential to ensure student nurses can continue to be exposed to community nursing care. Developing insight, understanding, knowledge and skills in this unique learning environment is instrumental to encourage the next generation of community nurses and increase the future workforce. Suggestions for alternative ways of providing learning experiences during the present period are discussed, which could also be embedded as long-term strategies in the future.

Abstract The purpose of this pilot project was to explore the experience of an intergenerational learning environment focused on healthy aging for nursing students and older adults. Intergenerational learning experiences provide opportunities for individuals from different age groups to communicate and participate in learning activities together. The growing population of older adults calls for increased geriatric nursing expertise. Nursing students’ attitudes toward older adults are often negative though, and result in decreased interest in geriatric nursing. The opportunity to transform nursing students’ perspectives on older adults has the potential to improve nursing care for older adults, and the number of nurses focused on geriatric nursing care. This qualitative inquiry used a convenience sample of 10 participants from a cross-listed university course on healthy aging for baccalaureate nursing students and older adult members of a lifelong learning institute. Semi- structured focus group interviews were conducted. Narrative transcripts were analyzed using an inductive approach. Analysis illustrated improved nursing students’ perspectives of older adults and aging. A similar theme was noted for older adults’ perspectives of younger adults. The importance of social interaction within an intergenerational learning environment and the need for opportunities to challenge ageist perspectives was illustrated. Increased exposure to healthy older adults, personally and professionally, may increase nursing students’ interest in geriatric nursing and improve nursing care for older adults. Future research should examine more specifically how intergenerational learning experiences can decrease ageism, improve nursing students’ and nurses’ perspectives on older adults, and improve nursing practice for older adults.

The forest-game conflict – how can forest economics contribute to solve it? (Essay) Core parameters of forest economics such as land expectation value or highest revenue show that damage caused by wild ungulates can critically influence the economic success of forest enterprises. When assessing and evaluating the damage in order to calculate damage compensation, methods are applied in Germany that look either into the past (“cost value methods”) or into the future (“expected value methods”). The manifold uncertainties related to this evaluation over long-term production periods are taken into account within a framework of conventions through strongly simplifying assumptions. Only lately, the increased production risk due to game-induced loss of species diversity is also considered. Additional aspects that should be taken into account in the future are the loss of climate-adapted species, the change of the insurance values of forest ecosystems and the impossibility of specific management systems such as single-tree selection forestry due to the influence of game. Because of high transaction costs when assessing the damage, financial compensation should only be the “ultimate measure” and a meditation between stakeholder groups with the goal to find a cooperative solution before the damage occurs should be preferred.

This paper addresses some of the Muslim community’s concerns regarding its children’s education and reflects upon how education has shaped the position of other communities in American history. It argues that the future of Muslim education will be influenced directly by the present realities and future trends within American education in general, and, more importantly, by the well-calculated and informed short-term and long-term decisions and future plans taken by the Muslim community. The paper identifies some areas in which a wellestablished knowledge base is critical to making decisions, and calls for serious research to be undertaken to furnish this base.
