This study explores the integration of intangible value logic measurements derived from the Intellectual Capital Thinking (IC ) approach to advance System of Systems Engineering (SoSE). Focusing on demand-side electricity management, the research illuminates the challenges and opportunities in capturing intangible value creation within engineering systems. By delving into human behaviour-driven demand intricacies and recognising intangible resources among stakeholders, the study unveils the potential for innovation in demand management strategies.

Time of Use (ToU) is one of the types of dynamic pricing strategies at which a pricing scheme employs a variable rate rather than a fixed one causing electricity tariffs over a particular consumption period to rise once in high consumer demand at peak times and to fall once the demand is low at off-peak times. Owing to the important factor of perceiving customers' response to the successful implementation of the ToU tariff scheme, this study examines the household electricity customers' response in Indonesia - especially residents of Java Island and Bali Island - to future implementation of this dynamic pricing strategy in utility energy tariff quality and reliability. Data on the behavior of the PLN customers need to be thoroughly gathered and then analyzed quantitatively for well-informed decisions on a set of variable rates based on peak/off-peak times of the day and the season to establish in a board of directors' room.

Representation learning methods are routinely used to analyze these complex, high-dimensional data by projecting them into lower-dimensional embeddings. This facilitates the interpretation and interrogation of the structures, dynamics, and regulation of cell heterogeneity.

The prevalence of depression among older adults in nursing homes is three-time higher than in the community. Therefore, knowing the incident rates of depression and its related factors would help provide appropriate intervention and prevention programs in the future.
