Joint Optimization of Regional Allocation of Seed and Agricultural Input Subsidies for Maize and Rice in Cameroon: A Goal-Programming Approach in Support of the SND30

This paper presents a goal-programming model for the joint regional allocation of seed and fertilizer subsidies for maize and rice in Cameroon, demonstrating that while a 300 billion FCFA budget can achieve 80% of maize and 90% of rice production targets under shared land constraints, fully meeting the rice target requires leveraging off-season cropping on existing irrigated schemes rather than relying solely on budget increases.

When the stakes rise service criticality as a boundary condition of protection motivation in behavioural biometrics acceptance

This study demonstrates that service criticality acts as a boundary condition for protection motivation theory in behavioural biometrics acceptance, revealing that while threat awareness drives coping appraisal in low-stakes e-wallet contexts, high-stakes digital banking relies primarily on capability beliefs, causing threat appraisal to lose its motivational force.
