In this study, mannitol-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MMNPs) as a unique nanosorbent and N-doped fluorescent carbon dots (N-CDs) as a cost-effective nanosensor were created and utilized, for the first time, for dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (Dµ-SPE) to determine carmine (E120) dye in water samples and juices. The modification of the magnetic nanoparticles with mannitol was designed to enhance the responsive potential for adsorption of the polar E120 dye from complex sample matrices through electrostatic interaction. The as-fabricated N-CDs fluorescent probe exhibited a high fluorescence quantum yield (Φs) of 43.

Introduction: Data on child functioning and disability are important for public policy development which aimed at reducing child disability prevalence and strengthening the provision of appropriate and timely health care services. This study reports the prevalence of functional difficulty in Malaysian children aged 2-17 years and its associated sociodemographic factors and epilepsy.

Methods: Data on children aged 2-17 years (n = 4576) were generated from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019, a population-based cross-sectional survey.
