Sonographic estimation of gestational age using transverse cerebellar diameter among late trimester pregnancies in Kano, Northwest Nigeria
Authors: Ado Maryam Sani , Suwaid Mohammad Abba , Dambatta Abdu Hamisu , Lawal Yusuf
Published: May 2024

Background/Context:

Accurate estimation of fetal gestational age (GA) is of paramount importance in the management of all pregnancies, especially for the planning of mode of the delivery and management of high-risk pregnancies. Obstetric ultrasonography is a simple, available, affordable, and noninvasive modality for estimating fetal GA due to its high safety profile. The fetal cerebellum is easily visualized and reliably identified on ultrasound in the posterior cranial fossa after 14 weeks of gestation.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) in determining GA in second- and third-trimester pregnancies and compare its accuracy with other established sonographically derived fetal biometric parameters.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 424 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters who were sure of their last menstrual period (LMP) were recruited into the study over a period of 6 months (May to November 2019) at the Radiology Department of AKTH-Kano, Nigeria. The corresponding fetal TCD and other established fetal biometric indices (biparietal diameter [BPD], head circumference [HC], abdominal circumference [AC], and femur length [FL]) were sonographically obtained and correlated. Pearson’s bivariate coefficient was used to establish the correlation between the traditional biometric indices with TCD and GA derived by LMP. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to assess the accuracy of the studied indices in predicting GA.

Results:

The range for TCD in second- and third-trimester fetuses was 15.9–57.5 mm. The TCD parameter was more accurate (±1.753 days) than BPD (±2.298 days), HC (±2.337 days), and AC (±4.342 days) and marginally less accurate than FL (±1.165 days) in predicting GA among study subjects (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

TCD is a reliable and accurate parameter for GA estimation in late second- and third-trimester pregnancies when compared with established fetal biometric parameters among pregnant women in Kano, Nigeria.

Objective:

The study aimed to establish an effective strategy for systematically characterizing and verifying compounds in Huangkui capsules (HKCs).

Materials and Methods:

An ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) method was effectively established and utilized for the chemical compound characterization in HKC, with the support of MS-DIAL, MS-FINDER, and Global Natural Product Social Molecular Network. Multiple rat samples were analyzed after the oral administration. Metabolites were identified based on specific cleavage behaviors, and metabolic pathways were predicted. Semi-quantitative analysis of the metabolome profiles was conducted using post-data processing. High concentrations in vivo were investigated for their role in tacrolimus-induced death of HK-2 cells.

Results:

In total, 129 compounds were identified in HKC, of which 74 were reported for the first time. In this study, we successfully identified and uncovered 19 prototypes and 123 metabolites from the biosamples. The concentrations of glucuronidation and methylation metabolites of quercetin were the highest in the kidney and intestinal tissues. In contrast, significant glucuronidation of quercetin metabolites was observed with high blood concentrations. Notably, quercetin glucuronidation and methylation metabolites protected HK-cell against tacrolimus-induced injury in a dose-dependent manner.

Conclusions:

This study successfully established a reliable and efficient strategy for comprehensive characterization of traditional Chinese medicine compounds. This strategy harnessed the power of various intelligent postprocessing technologies to provide a more thorough understanding of active components and their metabolic transformations in the body. These results suggest that quercetin metabolites should be evaluated for their protective capacity against kidney disease.

Published: May 2024

Изучаются способы построения эффективных Bit-Slice (схемных) представлений некоторых классов нелинейных биективных преобразований, имеющих высокие криптографические качества. Для некоторых биективных преобразований пространства $V_8$ из этих классов мы находим (путем объединения аналитических методов с программным обеспечением с открытым исходным кодом) представления логических схем с малым количеством вентилей с помощью двоичных логических операций $\mathtt{AND, XOR, OR}$ и $\mathtt{NOT}$. В частности, для подстановки, используемой в российском криптографическом стандарте ГОСТ Р 34.12-2015 «Кузнечик», мы получаем схемную реализацию, которая в общей сложности использует 176 двоичных логических операций. Новое представление требует на 51 логическую операцию меньше, чем ранее известное (требующее 227 поразрядных логических операций, см., например, [1]).
Hepatic pseudotumor: A diagnostic challenge
Authors: Samanta Arghya , Sen Sarma Moinak
Published: May 2024

Hepatic pseudotumors are rare lesions of unknown origin, characterized by the proliferation of fibrous connective tissue and inflammatory cell infiltrates. They mimic malignant lesions clinically, and radiologically, given their non-specific clinical and imaging features. The pathophysiology of hepatic pseudotumor is incompletely understood and there are no standardized criteria for diagnosis. Pseudotumors have been reported to develop in various organs in the body with the lung and liver being the most common site. Hepatic pseudotumors develop in patients with underlying triggers of liver inflammation and injury, including infections, autoimmune liver diseases, bile duct injury, or surgery. Hepatic pseudotumors respond well to conservative treatment with antibiotics, and steroids and some may regress spontaneously, thus avoiding unnecessary resection. This condition is rewarding to treat. It is important to recognize pseudotumor as a distinct clinical entity and include it in the differential of liver masses with atypical imaging features.

Published: May 2024

Liver cancer, primarily hepatocellular carcinoma, remains a global health challenge with rising incidence and limited therapeutic options. Genetic factors play a pivotal role in the development and progression of liver cancer. This state-of-the-art paper provides a comprehensive review of the current landscape of genetic screening strategies for liver cancer. We discuss the genetic underpinnings of liver cancer, emphasizing the critical role of risk-associated genetic variants, somatic mutations, and epigenetic alterations. We also explore the intricate interplay between environmental factors and genetics, highlighting how genetic screening can aid in risk stratification and early detection via using liquid biopsy, and advancements in high-throughput sequencing technologies. By synthesizing the latest research findings, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art genetic screening methods for liver cancer, shedding light on their potential to revolutionize early detection, risk assessment, and targeted therapies in the fight against this devastating disease.
Microbiota treatment of functional constipation: Current status and future prospects
Authors: Li Yan , Zhang Xiao-Han , Wang Zi-Kai
Published: May 2024

Functional constipation (FC) is a common disorder that is characterized by difficult stool passage, infrequent bowel movement, or both. FC is highly prevalent, recurs often, accompanies severe diseases, and affects quality of life; therefore, safe and effective therapy with long-term benefits is urgently needed. Microbiota treatment has potential value for FC treatment. Microbiota treatments include modulators such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Some probiotics and prebiotics have been adopted, and the efficacy of other microbiota modulators is being explored. FMT is considered an emerging field because of its curative effects; nevertheless, substantial work must be performed before clinical implementation.
Investigating Students’ Experiences of Transition within the Algerian Higher Education Context
Authors:   , Nedri Hamid
Published: May 2024

This study explored the subject of student transition in one of the Algerian universities [University X] during the first semester of the academic year 2019/2020. It investigated campus-based and off-campus students’ experiences of developing coherence with the new setting throughout the transition stages. In doing so, my original contribution to knowledge provides an understanding of how students can negotiate the transition to university in a context where institutional interventions are scarce in sustaining students’ passages. It provides insights into individualities in mitigating change and its challenges independently beyond institutional interventions. I used an auto/biographical narrative inquiry to research ten students’ transition experiences into higher education [HE] in Algeria. This involved exploring both campus-based and off-campus students’ perceptions, motivations, coping mechanisms and their experiences’ implications on their personal development. The aim of inquiring into students’ experiences was to contribute new knowledge to a field currently lacking in testimony centring on this area of inquiry. This consisted primarily of understanding the mechanisms students drew on to mitigate the transition to university within a context where little support (e.g., counselling) and activities (induction) are provided to assist students prior to and during their transition to university. The findings showed that transition was challenging for most participants, whether anticipated or non-event. This was further intensified for some participants regarding social factors, which rendered their experiences contrary to plan. To manage such challenges, participants used different modes of coping and meaning making throughout the transition stages. The appraisal was the initial stage of meaning making. This was followed by active engagement, avoidant behaviour or adaptation, adjustment and coping with stressors. Although these forms of coping were, to a varying degree, notable across stories, students’ responses to challenges appeared to have a contingency on the type of transition experienced, the severity of events, and the cultural and social capital students possessed. In this respect, the more resources at one’s disposal to draw on, the better for the integration process.

Authors: Barta Kristen , Ferreira Germaine , Domenech Manuel
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Online education is growing in popularity but has the potential to result in cyber incivility leading to disruptions in the learning environment. There is little known about the differences in attitudes between students and faculty in the online learning experience regarding cyber civility. The purpose of this study was to analytically measure student and faculty perceptions and attitudes of cyber incivility. Methods: A convenience sample of 180 (34 faculty and 146 students) participants from a health care university were recruited. A 27-item survey was given to record the perceptions of students and faculty on issues of cyber civility. An exploratory factor analysis was completed to validate the survey tool and determine the factors that made up the survey. A Mann Whitney U test was conducted to determine significant differences between student and faculty perceptions on the survey items. Results: Four factors were identified of the retained 19 items after the exploratory factor analysis: attitudes, presentation, appearance, and multitasking. There was a significant difference on 10 of the remaining survey items between students and faculty. Conclusions: Faculty perceived unprofessional dress, multitasking, and active display of complaints in the virtual environment more uncivil and disruptive than students. The themes show the differences between students and faculty perceptions in online platforms in healthcare educational programs. These differences highlight the need for healthcare educational programs to focus on strategies that align student and faculty expectations to positively impact the dynamics of the class and enhance learning in the virtual environment.

Authors: Vannucci Tyler , Eberman Lindsey , Rivera Matthew J. , Drescher Matthew J. , Young Justin , Games Kenneth E.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Clinical leadership behaviors demonstrated by nurses delivering patient care are associated with improved patient outcomes and increased job satisfaction. Clinical leadership behaviors have not been studied in athletic training; therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate athletic trainers’ frequency of demonstrating these behaviors. Method: Participates completed an electronically distributed survey consisting of demographic variables, the Clinical Leadership Survey (CLS), and the Global Rating of Clinical Leadership Scale (GRCLS). Results: We found statistically significant differences between the CLS score of those in a supervisory role (M = 65.3 ± 5.4) and those who are not (M = 63.5 ± 5.5, mean difference = 1.8 ± 0.8, t (212) = 2.27, p = 0.02). A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.51, p < 0.001) exists between an individual’s CLS score and perceiving themselves as a clinical leader. A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.59, p < 0.001) exists between an individual’s CLS score and believing they demonstrate leadership behaviors in clinical practice. Conclusion: Athletic trainers in supervisory roles report demonstrating clinical leadership behaviors more often than those who are not. A discrepancy exists between athletic trainers’ reported frequency of demonstrating individual clinical leadership behaviors, their belief they are leaders, and their demonstration of leadership behaviors. The data suggest athletic trainers who are not in supervisory roles may believe, because they hold no positional authority, they are not clinical leaders. Organizations can implement strategies to promote clinical leadership in staff and improve patient outcomes.

Authors: Goodchild Kirstie , de Longh Anya
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Social prescribing is a core part of healthcare policy within the NHS and requires support and contributions from all healthcare professionals, including Allied Healthcare Professionals (AHPs). The well-established medical student-led social prescribing student champion scheme (SPSCS) has been expanded to include AHPs, and AHP champions were recruited to deliver peer-led activities focused on social prescribing. This article aimed to evaluate the impact of the scheme's expansion on AHP students. Method: Fourteen AHP champions ran 21 activities that reached 524 students. Those participating in the champion-led activities were asked to complete pre- and post-session surveys to capture the impact of the sessions on their awareness of, knowledge of, and confidence with clinically applying social prescribing. Participants also rated the opportunity for multi-disciplinary interaction and overall experience of the champion led activities. Results: It was found that participant’s post-session scores for awareness, understanding and confidence were higher than post-session scores. Further, post-session survey results showed that participants enjoyed and felt they had been able to experience multi-disciplinary interaction at events. Conclusions: In summary, the evaluation of the AHP SPSCS highlights the value of student-led peer teaching in helping to raise awareness and understanding about social prescribing for AHP students, whilst acknowledging the need to expand the scheme’s reach in the future.

Authors: Bachman Teresa R. , Williams Shannon , Boddy Anne , Bezner Janet
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The preparation of professionals who are culturally sensitive and provide patient centered care is an expected outcome of physical therapist education. A review of the literature revealed that patient experience and outcome data regarding physical therapy student-led clinics are lacking. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a valid patient experience survey that assessed patient centeredness and cultural competence in a gender-neutral manner. Methods: Questions for a new survey, Student-run Outpatient Physical Therapy Experience Survey (SOPTES) were generated using two validated surveys, the Questionnaire of Patient’s Experiences in Post-Acute Outpatient Physical Therapy Settings (PEPAP-Q) and the Tucker-Culturally Sensitive Health Care Provider Inventory Patient Form. The SOPTES was implemented with the validated PEPAP-Q in a student-led clinic and given to 88 patients at discharge. Correlation and exploratory factor analysis were performed. Results: The correlations of patient scores between the two surveys, revealed a significant moderate correlation based on 2-tail analysis (ρ =.396, p < 0.001). Exploratory factor analysis revealed five themes for the PEPAP-Q (patient centered care, supportive environment, availability, invested interest, and adaptability) and three themes in the SOPTES (patient centered care, availability, cultural competence). Conclusion: These findings support the development and use of the SOPTES in a student-led physical therapy clinic to assess student cultural sensitivity and provision of patient centered care.
The Art of Empathy: Visual Art Interpretation and Creation to Enhance Empathy in DPT Students
Authors: Collier N. Beth , Taylor Leslie F.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: To pilot the inclusion of a visual arts unit grounded in social constructivist theory and framed around Visual Thinking Strategy into an entry-level anatomy course and explore its influence on enhancing empathy in Doctor of Physical Therapy students. Methods: 37 students enrolled in the second semester of an 8-semester program participated in this exploratory study using a mixed methods, pre-test, post-test design. Prior to and after the 3-week unit, students completed the Jefferson Scale of Empathy – Health Care Provider Student version (JSP-HPS). After the unit, students provided written reflections on their learning experiences. The JSP-HPS was assessed via paired t-tests. Reflections were considered using an interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA); reflections were read and data points were coded for emergent themes, connections, and constructs. Results: JSP-HPS scores increased from 115.7 to 120.4 (p=.002) indicating enhanced empathy. Pluralistic intellectual humility (PIH) emerged as the primary construct from the reflections. PIH included 4 themes of 1) Ambiguity tolerance, 2) Self-discovery, 3) Empathy, and 4) Collaboration. Conclusions: Art interpretation and creation were effective in enhancing students’ empathy; however, empathy emerged as one aspect of the construct of PIH. Once the 4 themes emerged, we intentionally ordered them as potential building blocks. Enhancing empathy - the way to connect to the emotions and experiences of another person - is going to be challenging without addressing other aspects of PIH including ambiguity tolerance and self-awareness. Educators should consider the use of art interpretation and creation as a way to strengthen these critical characteristics.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: Acrobatics and Tumbling (A&T) is an emerging NCAA sport. Due to the novelty of the sport, limited research on injury incidence and correlates exists. Anecdotal evidence suggests that A&T presents with high injury rates. A relationship between vitamin D and bony injuries exists among athletes, but little is known about soft tissue injuries. Understanding the causes and incidence of injuries, including vitamin D, may assist athletic trainers. Methods: Forty-two A&T athletes (19.69 ± 1.199 years) completed 2 blood draws as part of routine medical care prior to and following fall training period. Results: Average vitamin D at T1 was 47.976 ± 18.874 ng/ml and T2 was 41.883 ± 18.453 ng/ml. Injury variables (i.e., incidence, mechanism) and time loss (TL) were recorded between blood draws. T-tests and ANOVAs assessed differences in injuries and TL based on serum vitamin D. Poisson and logistic regressions were utilized to assess injury and TL odds ratios based on vitamin D. Twenty-eight injuries were sustained and eleven participants suffered TL. Serum vitamin D significantly decreased an average of 6.093 ± 10.973 ng/ml (pConclusions: No significant differences in injury status or TL based on vitamin D were identified. Identifiable patterns were found in injuries sustained by participants. Serum vitamin D concentrations showed a significant decrease as volume and intensity of training increased. The significant decrease in vitamin D and high injury incidence indicates a need for further monitoring of biomarkers, such as vitamin D, in these athletes and research to determine injury prevention strategies.

Authors: Tilstra Michele L. , Berg-Carramusa Cara , Peets Tiffany J. , Keptner Karen M.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The intent of this study is to examine how Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) and Counseling and Human Development (CHD) graduate students who experienced Counselors and Occupational Therapists Professionally Engaged (COPE) in the Community program perceived their self-evaluation of cultural competence with humility (CCH) constructs (cultural awareness, skills, knowledge, and desire) from pre- to post-experience. Methods: Using a pre-/post-test cohort design, researchers used the Modified Cultural Competency Self-Assessment (M-CCSA) to determine if there were changes in ratings after students completed a novel training program. Results: Twenty-five students completed the pre-/post- survey. Overall, the mean M-CCSA total and subsection ratings on the post-COPE program were higher than the pre-COPE program with 14 of 25 (56%) students rating themselves higher on CCH variables after completing the COPE program. The mean difference (MD) score was statistically significant for the Cultural Skills subsection (MD = .19, t(24)= 2.69, p = .01, d =.36) with a small effect size. The Cultural Desire secondary analysis (MD = .20, t(24)= 1.75, p = .09, d =.57) approached statistical significance with a moderate effect size. The MD was not statistically significant for the M-CCSA total score (MD = .10, t(24)= 1.24, p = .23, d =.25), Cultural Awareness subsection (MD = .07, t(24)= .60, p = .56, d =.60), and Cultural Knowledge subsection (MD = .03, t(24)= .42, p = .68, d =.40). Conclusions: Students' overall M-CCSA increased after completing the COPE program. The results suggest that the COPE program may have positively influenced students' development of CCH (cultural awareness, knowledge, skills, and desire). This research adds to the existing body of evidence suggesting that interprofessional multicultural learning activities are beneficial to learning CCH.
A National Cross-Sectional Survey to Assess the Education and Training Needs of Allied Health Professionals and Clinical Psychologists Delivering Rehabilitation for Children and Young People Affected by COVID-19 in the United Kingdom
Authors: Gardner Jennifer , Berger Zoe , O'Connor Graeme , Gordon Anne , Wright Philippa
Published: May 2024

Purpose: In the paediatric population there are two conditions associated with COVID-19 infection: Paediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (PIMS-TS) and Paediatric Long-COVID. The emerging clinical picture of children and young people (CYP) affected by COVID-19 has highlighted the vital role Allied Health Professionals (AHP’s) and clinical psychologists have in supporting rehabilitation. Therefore, it is imperative that AHP’s and Psychologists working across all clinical sectors have the knowledge, experience and training to meet the rehabilitation needs of CYP who have been affected by COVID-19. The aim of this cross-sectional survey was to explore AHPs and psychologists’ views on CYP rehabilitation needs and education needs for AHP’s to support CYP rehabilitation to be delivered effectively. Methods: A 20 item online cross-sectional questionnaire was implemented providing a convenience sample of AHP’s and Psychologists who worked with a paediatric population in the United Kingdom. Results: 85 healthcare professionals responded, of which 52 (61%) had direct experience working with CYP affected by PIMS-TS or Long-COVID. We present a model of education and training that addresses gaps in the knowledge and skills of AHP’s and psychologists treating CYP affected by COVID-19 as part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach outlining principles for a model of rehabilitation. Conclusions: AHP’s and psychologists’ management of PIMS-TS and Long-COVID had commonalities with other clinical presentations and therefore transferable knowledge and skills. Multidisciplinary network of professionals who work across this field should combine expertise and come together as a community to share good practice, knowledge and contribute to emerging evidence views. Healthcare professionals should be mindful that effects of COVID-19 may exacerbate existing health inequalities, further impacting school attendance and family relationships.
Civic-Mindedness and Core Values Ratings across Three Cohorts of DPT Students: Impact of Covid19
Authors: Campbell Sandy L. , Palombaro Kerstin M. , Erdman Ellen A.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines expected professional behaviors beyond legal and ethical expectations in the Core Values document. Civic mindedness may be related to core values. Civic-minded professionals have strong ethics and work cooperatively to promote the general welfare of others. Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) education programs use a variety of methods to develop professional behaviors, Core Values, and civic mindedness in students, including experiential service-learning. The purpose of this study was to describe the trajectory of civic mindedness and core values over the course of a three-year DPT program in three cohorts of graduate students. Methods: Three cohorts of DPT students were surveyed using two established tools at the beginning and completion of the didactic portion of the curriculum. The Civic-minded Professional Scale (CMP) provides an overall score as well as 5-subscale scores measuring constructs of consensus building, voluntary action, identity and calling, and being a social trustee; higher scores indicating greater levels of civic-mindedness. The APTA Professionalism in Physical Therapy: Core Values self-assessment (PPTCV) measures accountability, altruism, compassion/caring, excellence, integrity, professional duty, and social responsibility. Results: The classes of 2021 and 2022 had scores increase or remain stable across the CMP and PPTCV but the class of 2023 total and subscale scores either significantly decreased or remained stable from pre-test to post-test. Conclusions: The shift to indirect and electronic service-learning during the pandemic may have negatively impacted the development of civic mindedness and physical therapist core values in the class of 2023. These deficits could impact graduates in early clinical practice in both professional behaviors and civic-mindedness.
Effectiveness of the Use of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) for Postoperative Pain Management in Patients Undergoing Major Surgical Operations at Manokwari Hospital
Authors: Maharibe Christan Chaputtra
Published: May 2024

Postoperative pain is a common complication in patients undergoing major surgical operations, interfering with comfort and recovery and increasing the risk of further complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NSAIDs in managing postoperative pain at Manokwari Regional Hospital. Utilizing qualitative research methods, data was collected through observation and literature study and analyzed via data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that NSAIDs effectively alleviate postoperative pain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for prostaglandin production. However, their use is limited by potential systemic side effects, including gastrointestinal disorders, kidney impairment, increased blood pressure, heart attack, and heart failure. Consequently, topical NSAID formulations are recommended to mitigate these risks. The study suggests that while NSAIDs are effective, clinicians should consider their side effects and prefer topical alternatives. Future research should explore the efficacy and safety of topical NSAIDs and alternative pain management strategies to enhance clinical practice.

Published: May 2024

One of the MBKM programs is building villages, so the proposer applies science, technology, soft-skills and hard-skills to collaborate with partners to build villages. The theme chosen is food. Partner problems: (1). how to increase income from cultivating catfish which has a profit of under 10% to be greater than 40%. By using processing technology from catfish cultivation to produce products that are different from the general ones (fresh catfish). Catfish is processed into smoked catfish which is packaged and ready to be marketed. This has a positive impact, with an increase in income from the cultivation of catfish, into processed smoked catfish from the technology of processing catfish harvests using smoking. The solution to this problem is to make a fish smoker. The output is a multi-story fish smoker fueled by coconut fiber which functions to dry or preserve harvested catfish by providing space heating using smoke from the burnt fuel. The next problem, (2). how do partners have financial management skills, so that partners can run a sustainable catfish processing business, to increase income from the catfish cultivation business, including by marketing their products. As a continuation, it is hoped that catfish farming partners can advance to become MSMEs. The solution is to be given training in using financial governance with the SI APIK application from Bank Indonesia. The output of partner empowerment is being able to record bookkeeping and every financial transaction. The SI APIK application can be useful for small-scale individual businesses.

Published: May 2024

Hutan merupakan ekosistem yang sangat berharga bagi berbagai jenis kehidupan, termasuk manusia, karena memberikan sejumlah manfaat vital seperti penyediaan oksigen, regulasi iklim, habitat bagi flora dan fauna, serta sumber daya alam yang penting bagi kehidupan manusia. Melalui Hukum Tata Negara, negara memiliki kewajiban untuk melindungi dan mengelola hutan dengan baik. Hal ini tercermin dalam penetapan aturan dan norma yang mengatur pengelolaan kawasan hutan, termasuk penetapan status hutan, hak dan kewajiban pengelola, serta mekanisme pengawasan. Dalam pengelolaan hutan, hukum tata negara memegang peran yang sangat penting dalam menyusun kerangka hukum yang jelas dan efektif, menentukan kelembagaan yang bertanggung jawab atas pengelolaan hutan, serta menyelesaikan sengketa yang terkait dengan pengelolaan hutan. Namun, tantangan seperti penebangan liar, perambahan hutan, dan kebakaran hutan masih menjadi ancaman serius terhadap kelestarian hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi peran Hukum Tata Negara dalam pengelolaan kawasan hutan di Indonesia serta meningkatkan efektivitasnya dalam mengatasi tantangan-tantangan tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif yuridis dengan pendekatan studi pustaka dan analisis putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Data diperoleh dari sumber-sumber hukum yang relevan seperti Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945, undang-undang tentang Kehutanan, peraturan pemerintah tentang pengelolaan kawasan hutan, serta putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Data tersebut dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan menggunakan teknik analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran Hukum Tata Negara dalam pengelolaan kawasan hutan memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap efektivitas pengelolaan hutan. Rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan peran Hukum Tata Negara meliputi penguatan implementasi peraturan, peningkatan transparansi dalam pengawasan, partisipasi masyarakat, dan pengembangan program ekonomi alternatif bagi masyarakat di sekitar kawasan hutan. Dengan demikian, dapat diketahui bahwa Peran Hukum Tata Negara sangat kuat dan transparansi pengawasan dapat meningkatkan efektivitas pengelolaan hutan serta mengurangi ancaman seperti penebangan liar, perambahan hutan, dan kebakaran hutan, sementara partisipasi masyarakat dan program ekonomi alternatif juga digunakan untuk mendukung kelestarian hutan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat.
