Maritime safety is a critical aspect of military ship operations, where mastery of Ship Salvage Equipment (PEK) becomes a fundamental competency for cadets of the Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL). This research aims to identify and analyze the benefits of knowledge of Ship Salvage Equipment (PEK) for AAL cadets in the context of professional competence development, operational readiness, and leadership character formation. Using a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, this study involved 312 AAL cadet respondents from three batches (2022-2024) selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, participant observations, and focus group discussions. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics for quantitative data, as well as thematic analysis for qualitative data. The research results show that AAL cadets have a good level of PEK knowledge (score 78.6/100), high self-efficacy (3.68/5), and good operational readiness (3.72/5). As many as 85.6% of cadets acknowledge the very high benefits of PEK learning. The five main themes of benefits identified include: the development of operational technical competencies (37.2%), the enhancement of leadership abilities in critical situations (24.8%), the formation of mental resilience (18.9%), the development of quick decision-making skills (11.4%), and the improvement of a sense of responsibility for safety (7.7%). Cadets with good PEK knowledge demonstrate superior performance with a response speed 32 seconds faster, an error rate 23.4% lower, and an emergency communication score 18.2% higher. Factors influencing the effectiveness of PEK learning include the quality of instructors and teaching methods (β = 0.34), the frequency and variety of emergency simulations (β = 0.28), which together can explain 74.8% of the variance in learning effectiveness. This study provides recommendations for intensifying practical training, improving instructor quality, standardizing the curriculum to integrate technical and leadership aspects, and conducting continuous evaluations of the PEK learning program.

This study explores the potential of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as a bioelectricity source through Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell (PMFC) technology. The research aimed to evaluate the ability of water hyacinth to generate stable electrical energy when integrated with electrodes in a controlled laboratory setting. The method applied was an experimental laboratory design, where water hyacinths were placed in containers filled with water, equipped with anode and cathode electrodes, and connected to a voltmeter and ammeter for continuous monitoring. Observations were carried out for 72 hours with periodic recording of voltage and current values. The findings show that water hyacinth can generate measurable electricity, with voltage ranging from 0.25 V to 0.32 V and current between 0.18 mA and 0.24 mA, indicating the potential of this plant to produce renewable energy. Moreover, the results reveal that the generated electricity was relatively stable during the observation period, though variations occurred due to environmental conditions. The implications of this research suggest that water hyacinth, often considered a weed, can be utilized not only for energy production but also as part of ecological management programs. This dual function makes PMFC technology a promising alternative for sustainable energy development, especially in rural or remote areas where access to conventional electricity remains limited.

This study discusses the phenomenon of the decreasing number of worshipers in mosques and prayer rooms in Kenagarian Situjuah Gadang, Situjuah Limo Nagari District, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Although facilities and infrastructure have developed rapidly, the presence of the community in congregational worship activities is actually decreasing. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, involving observation, interviews with mosque and prayer room administrators, and field documentation. The results of the study indicate that several main factors that cause this condition include the busyness of the community in work, lack of understanding of religion, minimal role of community leaders and parents as role models, and lack of mosque programs that attract worshipers. In addition, the influence of social media also contributes to the decreasing interest of the community in coming to the mosque. To overcome this problem, it is recommended that there be policies that encourage congregational prayer, increase the role of schools in religious education, and strengthen Islamic preaching and guidance activities. With the right strategy, it is hoped that mosques and prayer rooms can again become centers of worship and active religious activities in the community
