Increased global competitiveness has forced corporations to improve how they manage their resources, especially when it comes to resources that give them a competitive advantage. Corporate Reputation and Corporate Social Responsibility fulfill that role. This research aims to identify the dimensions that most influence Corporate Reputation and which can be most easily used to achieve a positive result. To do this, the data about 46 companies (from different sectors) contained in the 2015 report "The world's most reputable companies" by Reputation Institute was used. This report identifies seven dimensions which influence Corporate Reputation: products and services, innovation, workplace, governance, citizenship, leadership, and performance. The most important main conclusions are that (a) those companies in which the dimensions of Corporate Social Responsibility (workplace, governance, citizenship) were at an acceptable level, also had an acceptable level of Corporate Reputation. (b) Companies usually carry out passive Corporate Social Responsibility actions, such as those involving citizenship.

The complete separation of a mixture of six phenylamines and epinephrine in human urine wasachieved by Capillary ZoneElectrophoresis (CZE) in 15 min. For the CZE separation of the compounds, electrophoretic media with phosphate-borate and phosphate-acetonitrile buffer at different pH were used. A buffer solution that contained 40 mM phosphoric acid and I 0 mM boric acid adjusted to ptl 9.7 with NaOH I N, was found to be the most suitableelectrolyte forepinephrine separation. The resultssuccessfully demonstrated the use of CZE with UV detection for screening and quantification of phenylamines and epinephrine in human urine without previous treatment, in concentration lower than 35.0 pg/ml, and quantification limit of 2.0k0.1 pg per millilitre of urine.
