Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out the legal solution to the importance of trademark registration to reduce the occurrence of unfair competition in the world of trade and provide sanctions for parties who imitate and copy marks. Method: The Research methods carried out in a systematic way in carrying out analysis and data collection activities in striving for certain goals to be achieved are definitions for research, For the realization of this research, the method applied is the analytical descriptive method. The purpose of this method is intended to be able to deliver a bright picture as a whole, carry out an assessment of positive legal norms and dig deeper into legal facts. The type of research that is then also applied in this research is normative juridical. Results: With a multitude of product brands in the market, it often confuses consumers when making choices. Sometimes, consumers choose products based on their budget, leading to the circulation of many counterfeit brands with significantly lower prices but identical names and appearances to genuine products. This is what is referred to as a violation of trademark rights. Therefore, for a trademark to be valid, it needs to be registered. Registration is carried out to provide valid proof of ownership of the trademark, to challenge counterfeit brands in circulation, and to reject trademarks with identical appearances registered by others. Thus, trademark registration is conducted to obtain protection and legal certainty for a brand.

Purpose: Chinese language learning motivation and the Chinese cultural identity of international students in China, as important influencing factors of second language learning, is a research topic of great practical value and actual significance. International students' Chinese language learning motivation affects intercultural identity to some extent. This study aims to explore the impact of Chinese language learning motivation on intercultural identity among international students and to provide experiences and reflections for the teaching and daily management of international students in the later stage. Research Methodology: Based on a questionnaire survey of 85 international students from an independent university in Henan Province, this paper uses SPSS26. software to analyze the overall degree of international students' Chinese language learning motivation and intercultural identity, the influence of different factors on motivation to learn Chinese and intercultural identity, and the impact of different Chinese language learning motivations on intercultural identity. Findings: There were significant differences in intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and intercultural identity by nationality, length of Chinese language study, and length of time in China for international students, and no significant differences by gender. International students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivations substantially positively affect intercultural identity. Students' overall Chinese language learning motivation and intercultural identity were high.

Objective: This paper will examine the aforementioned issues ow do businesses ensure their employees' rights and needs are met? How effective is government-appointed labor inspectors at preventing violations of workers' rights? How are the legal and practical mechanisms for labor inspectors to uphold the rights of workers formed and implemented are crucial factors to consider when evaluating the role of labor inspectors in promoting cooperation between workers and management. Method: With current literature by drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary legal sources, including statutes, case law, and academic studies. Result: The study concludes that ILO Convention No.81 of 1947 affirms the authority of labor inspection, and that the government of Indonesia ratified this convention in Law No. 21 of 2003 on the ratification of ILO Convention No.81, but that the central government's control of labor inspection has become problematic due to the development of a labor law that provides authority that is centralistic-hierarchical and increasingly complex. Since labor inspectors are spread out over such a large region, there are a number of pressing matters that must be enforced until the shortage of available resources at the local level is resolved with a, but it is also important to consider the local context when making policy decisions moving forward. Conclusion: This research will shed light on Indonesian labour inspection difficulties and may lead to more specific improvements.

Objective: This paper aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the impact of government institutions on the attainment of good governance for sustainable development in Nigeria during the Buhari Administration (2015-2023). It focuses on government institutions' statutory functions in relation to good governance, sustainable development policies, and legislative and policy reforms to promote good governance and sustainable development. Theoretical Framework: This study is underpinned by institutional theory, which de-emphasizes self-interest. The establishment and upkeep of governance institutions exemplify an unwavering dedication, irrespective of the outcomes. The theory of institutions elucidates the growth and structural dynamics of public sectors, drawing upon illustrative instances of successful organizations across various nations. Government institutions and state agencies in Nigeria bear the responsibility of executing good governance policies and assessing their impact on sustainable development. Method: The study employed a straightforward sampling strategy to gather data from 101 individuals from 17 government agencies in Nigeria. A questionnaire was employed as a means of data collection. The questionnaire's validation process involved using Lawshe's template, resulting in a content validity ratio (CVR) of 1. Additionally, the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the Cronbach alpha technique, yielding a coefficient alpha value of 0.80. The survey was conducted using a method that did not include direct contact with the participants and the data obtained was analyzed by calculating the frequency of responses and expressing them as percentages. Findings: A higher number of participants recognized their legal responsibilities in accordance with good governance. Sustainable development policies were ineffective, limiting their success. From 2015 to 2023, Buhari's policies failed to ensure lasting good governance and development. Statistical significance was established using chi-square statistics, showing a p-value of .000 (p < 0.05). Thus, effective governance duties of government institutions are linked to sustainable development policy success. Corruption, bureaucratic inefficiency, and inefficiency plague institutions seeking excellent governance for sustainable development. Conclusion: Sustainable development requires a balance between effective policies and governance structures. The Federal Republic of Nigeria's constitution requires government institutions to carefully follow their constitutional commitments.

Purpose: Working women are thriving and rising to prominence in the economy and business environment. Today's women make significant contributions to society's development. Theoretical framework: An empowered woman has more control over her life and her finances. Women's economic independence and self-sufficiency can be greatly aided by training them in the art of entrepreneurship. Growth in business entrepreneurship has the potential to improve women's financial, societal, personal, as well as political standing. Design/methodology/approach: The current study aims to investigate the relationship between female entrepreneurship and women's empowerment in the Chittoor district. Participants are 300 female entrepreneurs from both urban and rural areas. The researcher analyses the issues and difficulties women entrepreneurs experience in operating their enterprises, as well as the supportive elements for women business owners. Findings: Women's empowerment and female entrepreneurship are positively correlated. The majority of female business owners, whether in urban and rural areas, struggle with financial issues and job pressure. Governmental programmes and policies support female entrepreneurs by giving them training, funding, and marketing help. Research, Practical & Social implications: The entrepreneur alters the conditions of supply, combines already-existing resources in novel ways, and therefore establishes another generation of employment. Originality/value: Women's conditions are improved by entrepreneurship, which also helps them become fully involved in the growth and development of their country. This is one of the first studies to provide a detailed account of the women's entrepreneurship research in Chittoor, India.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to examine and analyze whether judges in resolving environmental cases in court are oriented towards protecting and saving the environment and the obstacles they experience. Theoretical framework: Humans in meeting their needs sometimes pay less attention to the impact that will be caused on the environment. Moreover, if humans think that the environment is used as an object to fulfill their interests, then environmental pollution and/or damage is certainly ignored. This will result in environmental sustainability not being realized. Likewise with judges who, when resolving environmental cases in court, do not use a deep-ecology approach and are not oriented towards protecting and saving the environment, the sustainability of the environment cannot be questioned. Method: This research is examined utilizing a socio-legal approach, which places an emphasis on describing social and legal realities as well as attempting to comprehend and explicate the logic underlying the relationship between the two. Results and conclusion: The results of the research show that judges who handle environmental cases are not oriented towards protecting and saving the environment. The obstacle experienced by judges in the judicial process to realize ecological justice is the principle of ultra-petita which shackles judges in exploring environmental cases that are oriented towards protecting and saving the environment. Judges who handle environmental cases are not oriented towards protecting and saving the environment. The obstacle experienced by judges in the judicial process to realize ecological justice is the principle of ultra-petita which shackles judges in exploring environmental cases that are oriented towards protecting and saving the environment. Imlications of the research: This has implications for continuing research to focus on the environment and obstacles they experience, especially for judges in enforcing the law.

Objective: This paper aims to elaborate on the morality of law enforcement in Indonesia today and how to reflect on law enforcement in Indonesia in the future. This paper uses a normative type of writing using a statutory, case, and comparative approach. Method: This paper is then analyzed using the Prescriptive analysis technique. Result: This paper shows that the morality of law enforcement in Indonesia today can be seen from several things: inconsistent law enforcement, corruption among law enforcement officials, law enforcement by violating the law, and selective law enforcement. The reflection of law enforcement in Indonesia in the future based on morality must be based on strengthening several aspects: strengthening integrity and ethics in law enforcement, transparency and accountability in the law enforcement process, revamping the legal system and institutions, and increasing legal awareness. Conclusion: The authors of this research want to learn more about and reflect on the moral dimensions of Indonesia's police force. This research aims to provide light on how morality influences the behavior of law enforcement officials by researching law enforcement methods, ethics, and justice. The study's findings should serve as a springboard for implementing more just rules and procedures in Indonesia's law enforcement.

The questionnaire was designed based on the Likert model to gather the opinions of a group of auditors who represented the population of the study. One hundred sixty questionnaires were distributed, and 152 were retrieved, representing a 95% response rate.
Results and conclusion: The analysis of the data revealed that the economy, including the audit profession, was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The income of auditing firms decreased, and there was a decline in performance and the number of visits to customers. Based on the findings, the study recommended reconsidering the approach to dealing with crises in the audit profession to maintain income and performance levels.
Search implications: The study's findings imply the need for further research and exploration into effective strategies to mitigate the negative impact of crises on the audit profession and maintain its financial stability and performance.
Originality value: This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by specifically examining the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the audit profession and shedding light on the economic effects experienced by auditing firms. The study offers insights into the challenges faced by auditors during the pandemic and suggests recommendations for better crisis management in the profession.

Objective: The objective of the instant paper is to examine and potentially support the claim that fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution, such as freedom of religion, despite reservations from cultural relativists, can be seen as emerging elements of constitutional morality. This examination will be based on a comprehensive analysis of judicial decisions, scholarly publications, and juristic opinions. Methodology of the Study: The study will analyse relevant judicial decisions, including landmark cases related to fundamental rights, especially freedom of religion, to understand how the Indian judiciary has interpreted and applied these rights. This will involve examining how the courts have balanced cultural relativism concerns with the principles of constitutional morality. Conclusion: The paper emphasizes the importance of universal human rights and argues against dismissing them due to their Western origin. It advocates for the acceptance of human rights across all cultures. The text acknowledges the complex interaction between law and religious culture, with an emphasis on individual morality. It highlights the value of human dignity within the Indian Constitution, aiming to balance individual rights with the state's duty to ensure equality. The paper also prioritizes women's rights and opposes customs that infringe upon them. It mentions Article 25 of the Indian Constitution, which secures freedom of religion with some limitations. In summary, the passage supports universal human rights, addresses the challenges at the intersection of law and religious culture, and stresses the importance of individual rights and dignity within constitutional morality. Result: The findings of this paper will aim to provide a nuanced understanding of the relationship between fundamental rights, cultural relativism, and constitutional morality in the Indian context. It will shed light on whether fundamental rights, especially freedom of religion, can be considered as emerging elements of constitutional morality despite reservations from cultural relativists. The study will present an analysis of judicial dicta, scholarly publications, and juristic opinions to support its conclusions and contribute to the ongoing discourse on these complex and significant issues within Indian constitutional law.
