The research design was quantitative research design. The population for this study consists of all the twenty (20) deposit money banks in Nigeria as at February, 2016. The timeframe considered for this study is 2015 to 2022, which covers a period of eight (8) years. The simple random sampling by slip of paper without replacement was used to select four deposit money banks in Nigeria namely Access Bank, First Bank of Nigeria Plc, UBA Plc, and Zenith bank. The secondary data were sourced from annual report of quoted banks in Nigeria. The data analytical techniques descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and Generalized Panel Ordinary Least Squares (GLS). The empirical results show that board size has positive and significant impact on financial performance in deposit money banks in Nigeria (t-statistic; 2.9267; P-value; 0.0043 < Sig-value; 0.05); board composition (BC) has positive and significant relationship with profit for the year (PY) in deposit money banks in Nigeria (t-statistic; 2.9267; P-value; 0.0043 < Sig-value; 0.05) and board number of meeting (BM) has positive and insignificant impact on profit for the year (PY) in deposit money banks in Nigeria (t-statistic; 0.8079; P-value; 0.4212 > Sig-value; 0.05).

One of the causes of several risk factors for IUGR such as maternal diseases, namely diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia, is Vitamin D deficiency.\u0000Objective: To study the relationship between the consumption of Vitamin D food sources, sun exposure, and consumption of Vitamin D supplement in pregnant woman with Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) at Airlangga University hospital in Surabaya.\u0000Method: This analytic study with case control design was conducted on pregnant woman who delivered baby at the delivery room in Airlangga University hospital in 2021 to 2023, using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). 44 women were included in case and control group. The data was later analysed with SPSS application. P-value < 0.05 is considered significant.\u0000Results: The result showed in the case group with IUGR, the Vitamin D food sources consumption was higher than the control group without IUGR. Therefore, there is no relationship between Vitamin D food sources consumption with IUGR (P > 0.05).

Hence, there is relationship between Sun exposure and Vitamin D supplement consumption with IUGR (P < 0.05).\u0000Conclusion: The result showed that the strategies of collecting the Vitamin D dietary is not effective and not recommended to study the relationship of Vitamin D food sources consumption with IUGR.

Sepsis, a severe and potentially fatal condition marked by organ dysfunction, occurs when the body's response to infection becomes uncontrolled.
