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.

The reliability of sterilization equipment, such as autoclaves, is essential to ensure patient safety, infection control, and operational continuity in healthcare facilities. Damage or malfunction of autoclaves may disrupt sterilization processes and pose significant risks to medical services. This study aims to develop an expert system for autoclave damage detection using the fuzzy logic method to support faster and more accurate diagnostic decision-making. The proposed system applies fuzzy inference to evaluate the level of damage based on input symptoms provided by users. By handling uncertainty and varying symptom intensities, the fuzzy logic approach enables proportional assessment rather than rigid rule-based classification. The system was designed through knowledge acquisition from technical experts and implemented using fuzzy membership functions and inference rules to determine damage severity levels. Experimental testing was conducted to evaluate system performance and diagnostic accuracy. The results indicate that the expert system successfully generated diagnosis outputs for all tested scenarios, achieving functional diagnostic accuracy within the defined test cases. The system was also able to calculate a quantified damage severity value of 11.6235981% based on the given symptoms, demonstrating its capability to assess damage levels numerically and objectively. Furthermore, the developed system significantly reduces the time required for damage detection compared to manual diagnostic procedures. Automating the evaluation process, it assists electromedical technicians in identifying faults more efficiently and taking preventive or corrective actions promptly. Overall, the implementation of a fuzzy logic-based expert system provides an effective, accurate, and practical solution for improving autoclave maintenance management and supporting healthcare service reliability.
