The Impact of Water Price on the Financial Sustainability of the Palestinian Water Service Providers

The impactof water sales price on the performance of water service providers is typically something of a mystery. High prices mean more revenue and profit; but it may lead to less bills collection and encourage the illegal connections. Yet, this argument has not been fully addressed in the Palestinian water sector; this research evaluates the effect of average water prices on the financial sustainability key indicators as collection efficiency, profit or loss percentage, non-revenue water, staff productivity, daily consumption, operating, and maintenance cost. The average price of cubic meter sold is segmented into low, medium, and high categories. Multivariate analysis shows that there are significant differences in profit or working ratio, daily consumption, and operating cost based on the different price categories. Further significant differences have been found in non-revenue water, collection efficiency, and water production based on low and high price categories. On the other hand, no significant difference has been found in staff productivity. The results show high price set by Palestinian water providers, leads to an increase in the bill collection rate and profit margin. However, negative relationship has been found between the price on one hand, and non-revenue water, average daily consumption, and water production on the other hand. The implication of these findings reveal that the Palestinian water providers should increase water prices gradually to cover operating and maintenance cost for better financial performance and sustainability.This research paper has been made possible through the support from MEDRC Water Research at the Sultanate of Oman. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to MEDRC for publishing this paper. The deepest gratitude also to Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) for valuable, effective supervision, coordination of the scientific researches, and directing them toward finding creative solutions for current water problems

OntoSoS.BPA.ChM: A semantically-enriched and business process architecture-driven framework for change management in system of systems context

The interaction and collaboration between the constituent systems in System of Systems (SoS) context entail more complex and new challenges that face the application of Change Management (ChM) frameworks. Some of these challenges include: (i) the insufficiency of adopting traditional ChM approaches for the emerging SoS context and the need for innovative directions to support ChM application in the SoS context; (ii) the heterogeneous context of SoS resulting from the different ChM standards adopted by the participating constituent systems; (iii) the lack of ChM frameworks that enrich the awareness of the ChM stakeholders of aspects related to the core ChM processes and their interrelationships based on generalised, explicit and formally represented knowledge; (iv) the lack of approaches that represent, align and link between global and local levels of SoS with focus on business-information technology alignment; (v) the high dependency of the ChM functional area on other configuration management functional areas in SoS context to empower ChM stakeholders with knowledge related to change impact analysis and authorities identification.This research is aimed at addressing the above gaps through using a semantically-enriched Business Process Architecture (BPA)-driven approach in order to improve the effectiveness of the ChM application in SoS context. In addition, this research adopts the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) to develop, demonstrate and evaluate the research artefacts incrementally, leading to the final research framework; namely the OntoSoS.BPA.ChM.The research framework is composed of three main components developed through multiple DSRM process increments. The ChM component provides a new generalised semantically-enriched BPA-driven model for the ChM functional area. The SoS context view component provides a new generalised semantically-enriched BPA-driven meta-model that can be instantiated for a given SoS arrangement. Finally, the alignment and knowledge retrieval component aligns the ChM component with the SoS view component and provides knowledge retrieval capabilities to retrieve purposeful knowledge from the ChM and SoS components that enriches the awareness of the concerned ChM stakeholders. The OntoSoS.BPA.ChM framework has been demonstrated and evaluated using a representative healthcare case study, in particular, the Cell Therapy and Applied Genomics (CTAG) at King Hussein Cancer Centre (KHCC), Amman, Jordan. The OntoSoS.BPA.ChM framework has demonstrated its effectiveness in addressing the identified research gaps when applied to the selected representative case study. In particular, (i) a novel approach was used to capture related aspects of the ChM and SoS problem domains using new conceptual models (e.g. BPA models for ChM and BPA-driven models for SoS context) and then introducing innovative solution (semantically-enriched BPA-driven ChM framework) to support ChM application in SoS context; (ii) the heterogeneity impact of SoS arrangements on achieving a common agreement on the different ChM aspects related to managing a change request has been minimised; (iii) the enrichment of ChM stakeholders awareness of different ChM aspects related to ChM processes and the relationships between them has been enabled using knowledge-retrieval capabilities that are based on explicit and formal representations of the related ChM aspects; (iv) a better support of maintaining SoS global-local levels alignment and BITA during ChM application has been facilitated by capturing key related SoS elements and linkages between them using a semantically-enriched and BPA-driven approach; and (iv) compared to traditional ChM frameworks, the OntoSoS.BPA.ChM framework has minimised the dependency of ChM functional area on other separate configuration management functional areas by providing dedicated means that enable more comprehensive traceability of candidate change implications and more effective identification of configuration items and stakeholders related to a change request. In conclusion, the OntoSoS.BPA.ChM framework might be generalised to other healthcare areas, and/or industrial and business domains using more complex case studies

OntoSoS.CM: A business process architecture driven and semantically enriched change management framework for systems of systems engineering

Abstract— The emergence of Systems of Systems (SoS)arrangements, with their high level of complexity, mainly due to the different characteristics of the individual systems and their integration into the respective SoS, has brought about new challenges in terms of Configuration Management (CM) in general, and change management in particular. Novel change management frameworks are needed to appropriately address these challenges simultaneously both at the level of individual systems and at the SoS level. To address these challenges, there has been a call for a major paradigm shift, by proposing state-of-the-artapproaches that target the investigation of new frameworks,which align various CM activities with newly proposed Systems Engineering (SE) models (i.e. SoSE models). So far, the adopted change management frameworks have been applied for managing changes to software and IT services in complex monolithic system environments only, but they have not been widely proposed to be applied on entire SoS arrangements. This paper introduces an ongoing research that aims to propose a novel approach, by investigating the potential of using ontology-driven models combined with a formal Business Process Architecture (BPA)approach and in particular, Riva, in driving the development of a generic semantically enriched change management framework for the software engineering life cycle of SoS, namely the OntoSoS.CM framework

Extending the scope of configuration management for the development and life cycle support of systems of systems - An ontology‐driven framework applied to the Enceladus Submarine Exploration Lander

Increasingly complex systems of systems (SoS) have to be developed in ever shorter times-to-market at reduced costs and with high reliability. In addition, as the life cycle of such SoS frequently spans across several decades, customer expectations and market conditions will evolve. Systems engineering (SE)/model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and configuration management (CM) need to be ever more closely integrated to appropriately address this situation. CM as a discipline is essential for establishing traceability and controlling baseline evolutions between all the relevant pieces of information resulting from the related system life cycle processes of all constituent systems of such SoS; but for this to work, the scope of CM must be extended both throughout the entire life cycle and across all participating monolithic systems. New frameworks are needed to effectively and efficiently apply CM across SoS arrangements. This paper proposes an ontology-based, federative approach to managing the inherent complexity of CM in the context of SoS, with particular focus on a change management framework for SoS. Examples from a conceptual system that is concerned with the submarine exploration of Enceladus as part of the “Saturn exploration system” are used to demonstrate typical SE/MBSE artifacts and how CM needs to address them across the involved operational and enabling systems

The Expression of a Subset of Aging and Antiaging Markers Following the Chondrogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells of Placental Origin

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of placental origin hold great promise in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for diseases affecting cartilage and bone. However, their utility has been limited by their tendency to undergo premature senescence and phenotypic drift into adipocytes. This study aimed to explore the potential involvement of a specific subset of aging and antiaging genes by measuring their expression prior to and following in vitro-induced differentiation of placental MSCs into chondrocytes and osteoblasts as opposed to adipocytes. The targeted genes of interest included the various LMNA/C transcript variants (lamin A, lamin C, and lamin A∆10), sirtuin 7 (SIRT7), and SM22α, along with the classic aging markers plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), p53, and p16INK4a. MSCs were isolated from the decidua basalis of human term placentas, expanded, and then analyzed for phenotypic properties by flow cytometry and evaluated for colony-forming efficiency. The cells were then induced to differentiate in vitro into chondrocytes, osteocytes, and adipocytes following established protocols. The mRNA expression of the targeted genes was measured by RT-qPCR in the undifferentiated cells and those fully differentiated into the three cellular lineages. Compared to undifferentiated cells, the differentiated chondrocytes demonstrated decreased expression of SIRT7, along with decreased PAI-1, lamin A, and SM22α expression, but the expression of p16INK4a and p53 increased, suggesting their tendency to undergo premature senescence. Interestingly, the cells maintained the expression of lamin C, which indicates that it is the primary lamin variant influencing the mechanoelastic properties of the differentiated cells. Notably, the expression of all targeted genes did not differ from the undifferentiated cells following osteogenic differentiation. On the other hand, the differentiation of the cells into adipocytes was associated with decreased expression of lamin A and PAI-1. The distinct patterns of expression of aging and antiaging genes following in vitro-induced differentiation of MSCs into chondrocytes, osteocytes, and adipocytes potentially reflect specific roles for these genes during and following differentiation in the fully functional cells. Understanding these roles and the network of signaling molecules involved can open opportunities to improve the handling and utility of MSCs as cellular precursors for the treatment of cartilage and bone diseases
