  Abstract
  The most critical hurdle faced by the livestock industry is the sub-optimal reproductive efficiency of the dairy herd. Ample efforts are rendered to augment the reproductive efficiency. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of Ovsynch and CIDR (Controlled Internal Drug Release) treatment with fixed time insemination in repeat breeder dairy cows. In present study, we selected 60 repeat breeder cows with no palpable abnormalities. Then, cows were divided into 2 groups of 30 each. Cows of group 1 were treated with Ovsynch while cows of group 2 were treated with CIDR for 9 days. On 8th day, all cows of group 2 were injected with 2ml of PGF2αi/m. CIDR was removed on day 9 and fixed time AI was carried out at 60 and 72 hours thereon. Oestrous manifested by cows was higher in CIDR(93.3%) than Ovsynch(40.0%) treatment method. Conception rate in dairy cows were 15 (46.42%) and 8(33.33%) in CIDR and Ovsynch method, respectively. CIDR based fixed AI was found to be better than Ovsynch method in repeat breeder dairy cows.

  Abstract
  This Information is one of the most important assets of the company. Protecting information requires a broad range of controls. Organizations should make sure that they are covering the full range of controls needed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of business information from the full range of threats. ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is one of the leading standards of information security. It is the code of practice including 114 controls in 14 different domains. This research was conducted to find out the level of information security in the Yemeni Academy for graduate studies (YAGS) regarding the compliance of implementation of this standard. The results showed maturity level of information security in the YAGS is at level 2. The value of the gap between the value of the maturity level of the current and expected level of maturity value is 3.19. This mains that many control weaknesses exist, related security policies and procedures should be developed and security management system and culture should be implemented. The detailed results of benchmarking based on the ISO27001 standard, the method used to measure the maturity level for each security control domain, and the improvement recommendations are presented.

  Abstract
  This research was conducted to introduce the hierarchical multilevel models, based on categorization of security controls in ISO 27001:2013 standard. And to find out the level of information security in the Yemeni Academy for graduate studies (YAGS) regarding the compliance of implementation of this standard. The results showed maturity level of information security in the YAGS is at level 2 for all MTO, Responsibility categories in all security aspects. The value of the gap between the value of the maturity level of the current and expected level of maturity value is a 2.88 for MTO domains and 2.84 for responsibility groups. This mains that many control weaknesses exist, related security policies and procedures should be developed and security management system and culture should be implemented. The detailed results of benchmarking based on the ISO27001 standard, the method used to measure the maturity level for each security control domain, and the improvement recommendations are presented.
