Data collection techniques are conducted through interviews and observations in the field.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of the Troika’s advent played in the progress of the budgeting and the financial reporting systems reform at the Greek central government level. Design/methodology/approach The approach of an extreme country case study is adopted. The data used in the paper have been identified through document analysis performed on the relevant documents produced by the Troika, the Greek Ministry of Finance, and other relevant sources. The reform process is seen through the lens of the neo-institutional theory and the resource dependency theory. Findings Although both reforms targeted the introduction of best international practices – particularly useful in periods of financial distress and scarce resources – the advent of the Troika affected their progress and changed the priorities. As a result, the reform was redirected toward strengthening the cash budgeting system. Research limitations/implications The study is subject to the limitations of an extreme case study research. Practical implications This is a case where resource dependency changes political priorities and directions and affects the evolvement of state budget and accounting reforms under way. Originality/value The role of external fund providers in public sector financial management reform priority-setting, in the case of a developed Eurozone country, is analyzed. The study contributes to the research agenda on accounting practices in times of austerity.

Case Study Data

Although the importance of euphoria-seeking in opiate addiction has been debated by leading drug abuse theorists including Lindesmith, Wikler, Brill, Bejerot and others, few researchers have heretofore collected systematic data on the issue. Statistical and case study data obtained over the past few years show that euphoria-seeking is a major cause of opiate addiction for most nontherapeutic addicts but for only a few therapeutic addicts. Theoretical analysis and empirical data indicate that euphoria-seeking is also a key component in the causation of many of the secondary problems of nontherapeutic addiction, including crime, unemployment, death, and disease. In the absence of euphoria-seeking, opiate addiction would be a much less severe public health and social problem.

The Sea Gypsies (Badjaos) stride in education since a large number of children not taking part in education programmes. This is due to reasons of an unjustified stigma associated with the Badjao people, which cause them to be discriminated against in school and the employment market. This study ascertained the determinants of Badjao school leavers in Cebu City, Philippines. It employed a descriptive method using the adapted survey questionnaire. Sixty-five respondents were identified using purposive sampling. The data gathered were organized and treated statistically using weighted mean, percentile ranking, and multiple regression. The findings disclosed that the Badjao respondents had perceived that personal and family factors could be the determinants why they had left school. Also, the integration and program implementation were not associated with why the respondents had left school. The respondents’ profile and their perceived reasons for leaving school had no significant relationship. Lastly, the respondents perceived reasons for leaving school. Hence, it is highly recommended that the proposed developmental plan of this study be adopted, implemented and monitored in order to help the Badjaos to finish their studies and become more responsible and productive citizens of the country.

The study aims to assess the Moroccan community’s using rate of social media, especially during the imposed lockdown, and analyze how the community is using and exploring the news published on Facebook. In this order, we prepared and shared a survey questionnaire among Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp users. The obtained responses exhibit that only 5% of respondents share the news immediately without verifying the source, while 54 % share news only after verifying the source; the rest did not prefer to share COVID-19 related news. This may reflect the awareness level of the sampled population about the importance of verifying the source of information before sharing it, especially during such conditions. However, 64% of participants think that Social Media platforms are not sufficient and appropriate to warn and inform the population about this sanitary crisis as not all Moroccan citizens have access to the internet and do not use social media. Besides, the COVID-19 period has known a rapid spread of misinformation and fake news through these platforms, impacting community mental health. Although, it is recommended to consider warning people about the best practices and use of shared information through these platforms
