This study analyzes how digital interface design (UI/UX) and system architecture are manipulated to unethically extract user consent, resulting in personal data commercialization and massive online loan (pinjol) spam marketing. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research combines descriptive quantitative analysis of digital user perception surveys with qualitative observations involving UI teardowns, privacy policy evaluations, and extensive literature reviews. Initial findings indicate a profound crisis of genuine informed consent, exacerbated by the deployment of dark patterns such as pre-ticked checkboxes, disguised opt-out architectures, and information overload engineered into legal documents. This systematic manipulation facilitates unauthorized personal data distribution to third parties under the guise of legitimate agreement, directly triggering privacy intrusions and psychological distress, including severe anxiety among data subjects. Philosophically and morally, these practices constitute a severe breach of Information Technology Professional Ethics (EPTI). Consequently, this study highlights the urgent need for developer accountability and advocates for the implementation of proactive, transparent ethical design frameworks compliant with Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) standards to reclaim digital autonomy.

This study aims to examine the role of religious moderation education in shaping the professional ethics of moderate Muslim accountants. Amid recurring cases of financial statement manipulation, collusion with clients, and unethical pressure in the accounting profession, a strong moral foundation is needed that goes beyond mere compliance with technical standards. This research uses a literature review method, analyzing books, related journals, and articles concerning religious moderation, Islamic professional ethics, and accounting ethics codes. The findings show that the four pillars of religious moderation, namely national commitment, tolerance, an anti-violence attitude, and accommodation of local cultural values, are closely aligned with the core principles of the accountant's code of ethics, namely integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional behavior. Moreover, these pillars correspond with the spirit of Moderate Islam, namely tawassuth, i'tidal, tasamuh, musyawarah, ishlah, qudwah, muwathohah, and tawazun. This study concludes that strengthening religious moderation education, particularly through Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) courses in higher education, plays a strategic role in producing accountants who are principled yet not rigid, compliant with regulations yet humanist in professional practice

This study analyzes the integration of aesthetics and ethics in cosmetology education and its implications for strengthening the professionalism of cosmetology teachers. Cosmetology is often viewed as an applied field that primarily produces visual beauty through make-up, skin care, hair care, and cosmetic services. However, professional cosmetology practice also involves moral responsibility because it deals directly with the human body, personal identity, safety, comfort, and client trust. This article uses a normative qualitative method with conceptual and philosophical approaches through library research. The analysis is organized through three dimensions of philosophy of science: ontology, epistemology, and axiology. The findings show that, ontologically, cosmetology studies beauty and the human body not merely as physical objects, but as subjects with value, dignity, and diverse meanings. Epistemologically, cosmetology knowledge is constructed through the integration of scientific theory, practical skills, professional experience, sanitation principles, occupational safety, and service standards. Axiologically, cosmetology contains ethical values that guide beauty practices so that they remain honest, safe, responsible, and respectful of human dignity. The integration of aesthetics and ethics strengthens the role of cosmetology teachers as educators, professional models, and character builders in vocational education. Therefore, cosmetology learning should not only emphasize technical competence and visual results, but also internalize ethical awareness, reflective judgment, and responsibility in every stage of professional practice.

This study aims to examine the role of information technology (IT) professional ethics as a preventive instrument in facing the escalation of cyber crime in Indonesia. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA protocol, 17 selected scientific literature from the 2020-2026 period were analyzed comprehensively. The results of the study indicate that dominant operating modes such as ransomware on national infrastructure and mass data breaches in the banking and health sectors are rooted in the neglect of integrity and accountability principles. The discussion in this study confirms that the application of professional ethics based on the PAPA (Privacy, Accuracy, Property, Accessibility) framework is able to suppress the risk of internal threats and strengthen digital defense. The conclusion of the study shows that the synergy between the 2024 ITE Law regulations and the internalization of the professional code of ethics is the main key to data sovereignty in the digital era. The practical implications of this research recommend strengthening the ethics curriculum in IT higher education and ethical compliance audits in the public sector.

Legal education in higher education institutions remains predominantly dominated by cognitive approaches, which have not fully succeeded in shaping students’ character, particularly in terms of integrity, professional responsibility, and legal empathy. This condition highlights the need for learning approaches that integrate practical experience with professional ethical values. This community engagement activity aims to strengthen the character of law students through a clinical legal education-based intervention integrated with professional ethics education. The activity was conducted using a participatory approach involving 35 law students from the Faculty of Law at Universitas Madura over the period from 21 April to 13 May 2026. The intervention consisted of a series of activities, including legal education sessions, basic legal consultations, and structured ethical reflection. The community partners were local residents with limited access to legal information and services.The results indicate an improvement in students’ character scores across several dimensions, namely integrity (from 3.42 to 4.21), professional responsibility (from 3.51 to 4.28), and legal empathy (from 3.37 to 4.35). In addition, more than 80% of students reported that the activity enhanced their understanding of legal practice and the social conditions of the community. The activity also had a positive impact on the community, particularly in improving legal literacy. These findings demonstrate that experience-based legal clinics are effective in strengthening law students’ character while simultaneously providing tangible benefits to the community. Therefore, community engagement activities based on clinical legal education can be developed as a strategic medium for strengthening character education in law faculties.

This study aims to analyze the process of internalizing business ethics in shaping students’ professional character through academic experiences and social practices. The research focuses on how business ethics values are understood, implemented, and internalized by students in academic activities, organizational involvement, and other social interactions. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-interpretative method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving students actively engaged in academic and organizational activities. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and thematic conclusion drawing.

Financial management, both in public and private organizations, is highly vulnerable to fraud and misappropriation of funds. The risk of fraud in financial reporting not only jeopardizes an organization's long-term financial health but also damages the reputation and trust of stakeholders. Professional ethics and integrity are key factors in ensuring good, efficient, and effective financial governance. Weak internalization of professional ethical values ​​among financial practitioners, such as manipulation of financial reports and unauthorized use of official funds, is often a major cause of misappropriation of funds. These cases can significantly harm an organization, as seen in violations of codes of ethics in various large companies. Therefore, strengthening professional ethics in financial management practices is crucial to prevent misappropriation of funds, fraud, or financial manipulation. A strong internal control system, coupled with a good ethical culture, can play a significant role in preventing and detecting these conditions. This study aims to identify factors that support and hinder the implementation of professional ethics in financial management and provide recommendations for improving integrity and accountability in fund management. It is hoped that the results of this study will help organizations strengthen governance, increase transparency, and reduce the risk of fraud through better implementation of professional ethics.

The 2018 financial statement manipulation case of PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk revealed a violation of the ethical principles of the public accountant profession and weak auditor independence in detecting irregularities in revenue recognition. This incident has created an urgency to empirically test the extent to which professional ethics influence auditor independence in preventing financial statement manipulation. This study aims to analyze the influence of public accountant professional ethics on auditor independence using quantitative research methods. Data were obtained through variable measurements using structured instruments which were then processed and analyzed using the SPSS application through validity tests, reliability tests, simple linear regression analysis, and t-tests to determine the significance of the influence between variables. The results of the study indicate that professional ethics has a positive and significant influence on auditor independence, where the stronger the application of ethical principles, the higher the level of auditor independence in carrying out their professional duties. The conclusion of this study confirms that the consistent application of professional ethics is a fundamental factor in maintaining auditor objectivity and preventing the recurrence of financial statement manipulation cases such as those that occurred at PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk.

This study examines the interrelationship between the implementation of administrative ethics in civil service, the professionalism of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and the quality of public service delivery at the Provincial Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Central Kalimantan, employing a qualitative case study approach. Through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis, the research finds that integrity, transparency, and ethical accountability function not merely as moral norms but as structural foundations that reinforce ASN professionalism in performing service functions, particularly within licensing processes that demand administrative certainty and responsiveness. Empirical findings indicate that professionalism—reflected in technical competence, procedural discipline, and ethical commitment—acts as a catalyst linking ethical values to effective and adaptive public service performance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies structural and cultural impediments, including regulatory inconsistencies, fragmented coordination, and limited training opportunities, all of which hinder the internalization of ethical principles and professional practice within the bureaucracy. Theoretically, the study posits that harmonizing administrative ethics and professionalism is a prerequisite for achieving key indicators of good governance, such as responsiveness, service effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Practically, the study recommends strengthening ethics training, enhancing ASN professional capacity, and advancing managerial reforms grounded in modern governance as strategic efforts to sustainably improve public service quality.

The background of this research highlights ongoing moral issues in the educational environment, including violence, behavioral deviance, and abuse of authority, which emphasize the need for strengthening teacher ethical values. This research adopts a qualitative approach using library research methods by examining books, scholarly articles, and relevant documents related to teacher ethics, humanistic education, and reflective learning. The findings reveal that teacher professional ethics serve as a moral foundation in educational interactions and act as a guideline for teachers in carrying out their professional responsibilities. Reflective learning and the humanistic approach are proven to effectively support the internalization of ethical values, as they place learners at the center of the learning process, foster empathetic relationships, and create a safe and meaningful learning atmosphere. In the context of Islamic Religious Education, the teacher's roles as educator, role model, facilitator, motivator, and evaluator significantly contribute to the continuous formation of students' moral character. This study affirms that strengthening teacher professional ethics is essential to realizing an educational environment that is moral, ethical, and oriented toward holistic character development.

This research stems from the urgency of the role of public relations in Islamic educational institutions, particularly madrasas, which is increasingly complex and strategic in the current digital and information era. Public relations is not only tasked with disseminating information but also with building an image, maintaining public trust, and managing effective communication between the madrasa and various stakeholders such as students, parents, teachers, and the wider community. This study aims to identify and analyze the application of ethics and professionalism in public relations at SMP Plus Darus Sholah in Jember and its impact on the institution's image and public trust. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that the application of Islamic ethical values—such as shiddiq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), and tabligh (transparency)—in public relations practices significantly enhances the madrasa's credibility and public trust. Additionally, the professionalism of public relations officers, characterized by structured communication planning and interpersonal ethics, plays a crucial role in building a positive institutional image. However, challenges such as a lack of formal training and understanding of ethical standards remain. The implications of this study highlight the need for policy recommendations to enhance the capacity and integrity of public relations personnel in Islamic educational institutions to support their role as the forefront of institutional communication.

Findings reveal that while Finnish teachers emphasize autonomy, democratic values, and continuous professional development, Indonesian madrasah teachers integrate religious ethics alongside pedagogical professionalism. The study discusses implications for improving teacher training and ethical guidelines to enhance educational quality and foster intercultural understanding. This comparative analysis contributes to the global discourse on teacher ethics by providing insights into how cultural and institutional contexts shape professional values and responsibilities in education.  

This study examines the synergy between morality and professionalism as foundational components in shaping ethical behavior among civil servants in Palangka Raya City. The research is motivated by persistent ethical issues within local government bureaucracy, despite ongoing reform initiatives that emphasize integrity and accountability in public service. Using a quantitative explanatory survey design, data were collected from civil servants across several regional government institutions and analyzed through multiple linear regression to determine the influence of morality and professionalism on ethical behavior. The findings indicate that both variables significantly contribute to the formation of ethical conduct, with morality demonstrating a slightly stronger influence compared to professionalism, thereby confirming theoretical concepts which argue that ethical public administration requires both personal integrity and professional competence. These results highlight the importance of strengthening institutional ethics programs through character building, competency-based professionalism, and transparent supervisory mechanisms to ensure consistency of ethical behavior across administrative practices. The study also acknowledges methodological limitations related to the exclusive use of quantitative measures, suggesting that future research may integrate qualitative approaches to capture deeper subjective meanings of morality and professionalism within public sector settings.
