This paper reports the development of a method for simultaneously determining five preservatives in cosmetics, cleaning agents and pharmaceuticals by fast liquid chromatography. Methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, benzyl alcohol, sodium benzoate and methylparaben were separated on a Chromolith Fast Gradient reversed-phase 18e column using gradient elution with acetonitrile and a 0.1% aqueous solution of formic acid, with a run time of 3 min. The preparation of solid and liquid samples included ultrasonic extraction with methanol with recoveries ranging from 69 to 119%. The developed method was used to analyze samples of cosmetics (66 samples), cleaning agents (five samples) and pharmaceutical industry products (17 samples).
There has been a long debate on the factors and conditions that are affecting economic development and progress. It is clear that multiple components from various domains are interplaying and creating unique circumstances, which are impossible to copy and imply one by one in a different context. Moreover, none of development processes is appearing in a linear mode and past performance does not predict future success, even though it does create some preconditions and path dependency, which affects socioeconomic development of each country and region. In this article, the authors are integrating several major aspects of economic development-namely, human capital, social capital and innovation ecosystems. The authors propose a novel framework to study economic development through the lenses of 'soft' components and argue that sustainable development is possible only when human and social capital intervene and result in innovation ecosystems, which, on their turn are supported by active and genuine collaboration of the government, academic and business sectors. To illustrate this framework, the authors focus on several cases in developing countries, which appeared as more successful or less successful and explain that through development of social and human capital.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
