Summary: The adoption of IFRS 9 has significant implications for banks and firms, as it requires banks to intensively monitor borrowers and leads firms to rely less on bank debt and more on public debt. This effect is more pronounced when regulatory supervision of banks is stricter and when firms have easier access to public debt financing, suggesting the relevance of regulatory stringency and switching costs in firms' financing decisions.

Summary: This paper extensively examines wearable sensors for stress monitoring in pregnant women, emphasizing sensor type, form factor, placement method, signal processing, and stress classification. Electrocardiogram, photoplethysmography, and galvanic skin response are popular sensor choices, offering reliability for stress monitoring during pregnancy. Challenges such as sensor placement, comfort, and algorithmic accuracy need addressing for optimal performance. The successful implementation of wearable sensors has the potential to reduce stress-related fatalities and significantly improve overall maternal health outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) among Portuguese physical therapists and explore the factors, barriers, and facilitators associated with EBP implementation. The results showed that Portuguese physical therapists had positive beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors regarding EBP. Age, education, and workplace were identified as the main factors influencing EBP implementation. Additionally, evidence, patients, clinical experience, schools, country, and physical therapy characteristics were found to act as facilitators or barriers to EBP.
