Effect Of Supplementation Of Β-Galacto-Oligosaccharide And Probiotic Mixture On Growth Performance Of Physiologically Stressed Rabbits
Full text linkThis study explored the effects of prebiotic β-Galacto-oligosaccharide (β-GOS) and probiotic supplementation as a nutritional strategy to mitigate stress-induced impacts on growth performance in rabbits. Twenty male rabbits were randomly assigned to four groups: A (negative control, no stress), B (positive control, Dexa-stressed 15 mg/kg [D-S 15], C (D-S 15 + probiotic mixture), and D (D-S 15 + 0.2% β-GOS). Initial body weight did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) among the groups. However, a significant difference (P < 0.05) in weekly body weight was observed from weeks 1 to 12. Body weight increased linearly across all groups, with the final body weight at week 12 being highest in group A (2.32±0.52 g), followed by group C (2.09±0.32 g) and group D (2.01±0.51 g), while group B had the lowest weight (1.87±0.61 g). A significant difference (P < 0.05) in average daily gain was also recorded, with group A showing the highest gain (5.7±0.43 g), while groups C and D showed lower gains (5.3±0.24 g and 5.0±0.61 g, respectively). Group B exhibited the lowest daily gain (4.2±0.17 g). Feed intake followed a similar pattern, with group A having the highest intake at week 12 (126±0.13 g), followed by groups C (124±0.13 g), D (123±0.03 g), and B (116±0.09 g). Feed efficiency was significantly different (P < 0.05), with group A showing the best feed efficiency (4.9±0.14), while group B recorded the poorest efficiency (5.0±0.17). Overall, stress significantly reduced growth performance in rabbits by decreasing body weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency, while probiotic and prebiotic β-GOS supplementation improved these parameters, indicating its potential to mitigate the adverse effects of stress

Adaptive Security Activities Selection Model Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods
Full text linkAdaptive security activities are a list of recommended security activities to be integrated smoothly with the software development life cycle (SDLC) to produce a secure application software. Adaptive security activities are needed due to the emergence of factors and constraints which have been determined as one of the reasons for the underutilisation of security activities implementation, especially in the earlier phase of software development process. Security activities selection models were proposed to select and recommend security activities but the models were focused on certain factors or as a solution for specific constraints, and thus the recommended security activities were not adaptive. Consequently, an adaptive security activities selection (ASAS) model was proposed by combining the factors and constraints faced by the development team in selecting security activities. The model consisted of two integrated multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM) methods, namely Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Reference Ideal Method (RIM). ANP was used to prioritise and weight the criteria while RIM was used to measure and evaluate the security activities with the value of constraints in regard to each criterion. To validate the model a case study was performed on four inhouse web application development teams in the Malaysian public sector. The proposed model was able to recommend security activities in the requirement and design phase based on different constraints faced by each of the development teams. The model was adaptive due to its flexibility and ability to change and suit different evolved conditions when recommending the security activities
