“…The students were chosen using a systematic random sampling approach within each different academic year in all the four colleges. The sample size was determined by taking the frequency of unhealthy behaviors among the students as 47% to the estimated proportion of students 13 . The significance level ( p = 0.05) and intent of error was 5% (deviation from the actual value).…”

Background and Aim: Students sometimes participate in harmful activities that adversely influence their behaviors and well-being throughout college, which is one of the sensitive phases in an individual's life. Aim: To assess the health-related behaviors of university students.Methods: A cross-sectional study that includes systematic randomly selected 383 students from various colleges of Ras Al Khaimah Medical and Health Sciences University (RAKMHSU), Ras Al Khaimah Emirate, United Arab Emirates. A selfreported questionnaire included students' demographic traits and behaviors, including safety, medication intake, cigarette smoking, nutrition, physical activity, and health-related topics.Results: Most participants were females (69.7%), 13.3% were obese while 28.2% were overweight. The data revealed a significant difference between male and female students regarding medication intake without prescription, nutrition, physical activity, and health-related topics. The data also revealed that the majority of the students were attempting to lose weight, and the former male smokers had fewer trials to quit the use of all tobacco products than females. Conclusion:More than a quarter of participants were overweight, and the majority of students did not adhere to the guidelines for safety and nutritious eating. This study recognized significant health promotion opportunities for university students that can be carried out to establish a healthier youth for society.

Graphene quantum dot (GQD) is one of the youngest superstars of the carbon family. Since its emergence in 2008, GQD has attracted a great deal of attention due to its unique optoelectrical properties. Non‐zero bandgap, the ability to accommodate functional groups and dopants, excellent dispersibility, highly tunable properties, and biocompatibility are among the most important characteristics of GQDs. To date, GQDs have displayed significant momentum in numerous fields such as energy devices, catalysis, sensing, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, drug delivery, and bioimaging. As this field is rapidly evolving, there is a strong need to identify the emerging challenges of GQDs in recent advances, mainly because some novel applications and numerous innovations on the ease of synthesis of GQDs are not systematically reviewed in earlier studies. This feature article provides a comparative and balanced discussion of recent advances in synthesis, properties, and applications of GQDs. Besides, current challenges and future prospects of these emerging carbon‐based nanomaterials are also highlighted. The outlook provided in this review points out that the future of GQD research is boundless, particularly if upcoming studies focus on the ease of purification and eco‐friendly synthesis along with improving the photoluminescence quantum yield and production yield of GQDs.

“…Heavy metal‐contaminated wastewater has been released as a result of the rapid expansion of human industrial activity in industries like agriculture, mining, and manufacturing into major water bodies. [ 1,2 ] Toxic heavy metals cannot biodegrade, which causes them to bioaccumulate in aquatic plants and animals. [ 3,4 ] They pose a risk to both humans and other species, and their poisonous nature has a severe impact on the ecosystem.…”

In this study, a simple optical luminescence smart sensor derived from organic ligand‐based metal–organic framework material with high oxidation state central metal (Zr4+) was developed. It also was screened to achieve Fe3+, Pb2+, and Co2+ sensitive detection through the strong coordination of amino groups or nitrogen center with 2‐acetylpyridine ligand. The intrinsic optical and fluorescence intensities of sensor were regulated by the ligand‐to‐metal charge transfer effect. The new sensor exhibits an excellent selectivity, ultrafast detection of Fe3+, Pb2+, and Co2+ ions in water with good detection limits (LODs and LOQs). Fluorometric and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopies were used to conduct the study. Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller, Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR); X‐ray diffraction spectrometry; and X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy were used to confirm the structure of the novel sensor. A real industrial wastewater sample was investigated against the synthesized sensor with a powerful detection efficiency.
