Since 2022, Coca Cola has launched limited edition soda flavors: the first variant, Starlight, tastes like outer space and the second, Byte or 8-bit, like pixels. The synaesthesia challenges to make statements that go beyond whether or not the drink is liked or disliked, driving a ludic debate on media platforms about the taste of space, the pixels. This article analyzes, through semiotic tools, a sample of 16 youtubers' reviews that make contact with these sodas, without ignoring the audience's immediate comments. It seeks to describe how these bodies are configured in the videos and the interpretative positions that emerge, which tend to deviate from Coca Cola's desire. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

biochemical study was conducted on laboratory white mice to ascertain the effectiveness of the treatments selected in light of the most popular goods on the Iraqi market. The animals were divided into five groups: control group C, a group given free Coca-Cola B, a group given 30% chicken sausage mixed with diet S, a group given 3% chicken broth cubes mixed with diet M, and the last group was fed Indomie at 30% A. The experiment continued for four weeks, after which the animals were slaughtered and the biochemical tests included in the study were conducted on them. When comparing the concentration of the dangerous peroxynitrite radical for groups M, S, and A to the control group, there was a notable rise in the results. The SOD concentrations of the M, S, and A groups were likewise significantly lower in the results than in the control group. In, glutathione dropped in all treatments. Additionally, all groups' fasting glucose levels rose in comparison to group C. Compared with the control group, group B had higher serum calcium levels than groups M and S. The blood serum of animals treated with chicken sausage showed a significant increase in lipid levels, especially total cholesterol, triglycerides, and harmful cholesterol, compared to the other groups that also showed an increase in their lipid levels. The high activity of liver enzymes in the blood serum indicates that the group of animals treated with chicken broth cubes was exposed to liver injury, hepatic cell necrosis, and the excretion of enzymes into the bloodstream compared to the control group.

This article considers how system knowledge from a production point of view can interact with international law in such ways as to uphold the international principle of free, prior informed consent (FPIC). Although some categories, such as designers, are used to thinking through production systems when they create goods, the question of how the people inside and outside these systems are affected is often overlooked. That is the point when international human rights research can come to support a field that otherwise can seem quite large in scope. Specifically, the case study presented here analyzes how the production of the Coca Cola beverage interacts with indigenous peoples1 through the lens of the internationally recognized principle of FPIC. The analysis indicates that the FPIC framework can be the starting point to evaluate touch points between current production systems and society at large and provide practical ways for people from different disciplines and backgrounds to create a discourse around it. Ultimately, this would benefit indigenous peoples and human rights defenders to understand whom to engage with at the negotiation table while also exploring ways to strengthen the communication from an activist and a public opinion point of view.

This study examined the usefulness of digital library in the acquisition of communication skills by business education students for coca cola products dealership in South South Nigeria. The study was guided by one research question and a null hypothesis. The descriptive survey research design was adopted with a study population of 182 comprising 147 final year business education students and 35 Coca - Cola sales managers. This population also constituted the sample size. Instrument for data collection was the researchers' structured questionnaire that was validated by three experts. The reliability index of 0.79 was obtained using Pearsons Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. Data were analysed using mean, improvement need index and the independent t-test statistic. Findings showed that digital library has greatly contributed to the acquisition of communication skills needed by business education students for Coca - Cola products dealership in South-South, Nigeria. Moreso, significant difference was found between the mean ratings of final year business education students and coca cola sales managers on the usefulness of digital library in the acquisition of communication skills for coca cola products dealership by the students. The study recommended based on the findings that more functional studios be put in place to accommodate diverse technological skills needed by graduates to efficiently and effectively function in the world of work.
