Language in the digital era functions not only as a communication tool but also as a reflection of personal and collective identity. Language use on digital platforms, such as social media, reflects self-expression, image building, and cultural affiliation. However, globalization and the dominance of foreign languages, especially English, pose challenges to preserving local identity. This study employs a qualitative approach through interviews and document analysis to explore how language shapes personal identity in the digital era. The findings indicate that language in digital spaces allows individuals to express creativity while facing social pressures to construct specific images. Nonetheless, phenomena such as code-switching and slang usage highlight the influence of global culture. To maintain a balance between global adaptation and local cultural preservation, collaboration among individuals, communities, and governments is needed through education, cultural campaigns, and technology. With this approach, language can become a tool for fostering cultural solidarity and preserving diversity in an increasingly connected world.

Islamic accounting is a system grounded in Islamic sharia principles, such as fairness, transparency, and social responsibility.

Islamic accounting offers a financial reporting framework that reflects adherence to Islamic values, including the prohibition of usury, gharar (excessive uncertainty), and haram (forbidden) transactions. By providing accurate and relevant information, Islamic accounting aids companies in making strategic decisions aligned with sharia principles. Additionally, it assures stakeholders, including investors and the public, that the company’s operations are conducted ethically and responsibly. Therefore, Islamic accounting functions not only as a financial reporting tool but also as a strategic framework for managing companies committed to sharia compliance.

Administrative Decisions (KTUN) are one of the important legal instruments issued by state administrative officials to carry out government functions. However, it is often found that KTUNs are legally defective due to violations of the principle of legality, general principles of good governance (AUPB), or applicable administrative procedures, which lead to their annulment by the State Administrative Court (PTUN). This study aims to analyze the legal basis and the form of legal responsibility in the administration of State Administrative Decisions (KTUN) that have been annulled. This research uses a juridical-normative method with an approach based on laws and regulations and legal doctrines. The study shows that the annulment of KTUNs by PTUN is usually caused by procedural and substantive violations, such as issuing decisions beyond authority or not meeting formal requirements. In the context of legal responsibility, the agency issuing the KTUN is obligated to retract the decision, restore the rights of the affected parties, and issue a new decision that complies with the law. Furthermore, the officials at fault may be subject to administrative sanctions, ranging from a warning to dismissal, depending on the severity of the error. State administrative officials whose KTUNs have been annulled must fulfill their legal responsibility by revoking or correcting the KTUN, restoring the rights of the affected parties, providing compensation, and implementing administrative sanctions if necessary. Additionally, criminal liability may apply if there is an element of abuse of power. This finding underscores the importance of compliance with the principles of AUPB and positive law in every administrative action to prevent harm to society.
