Published: February 2025

The objective of this study was to show an in vitro bioremediation methodology for atrazine-contaminated soils through the use of local strains of native fungi isolated from the Phaseolus vulgaris L rhizosphere present in cultivable soils as well as to evaluate its resistance and capacity for atrazine degradation. A Trichoderma sp. species was identified in three cultivable soils from the Tulancingo Hidalgo, México region (contaminated with and without atrazine), which resisted atrazine concentrations of 10,000 mg L-1.  Tests showed that the strain grows exponentially in atrazine-contaminated soil over a range of 105-106 CFU g-1 in 15 days using atrazine as the only carbon and nitrogen source, while the control and witress showed a decrease of 100-103 UFC g-1 in the same period of time. For the atrazine degradation experiments, a treatment of the application of Trichoderma (104 - 105 CFU mL-1) was applied to sterilized and non-sterilized soil contaminated with 500 mg Kg-1 of atrazine, evaluated at four time intervals (5, 10, 20 and 40 days). Statistical differences were found (α=0.050, Tukey) among treatments with the fungi and the test days. The native Trichoderma strain degraded 89% of the atrazine in 40 days. It showed that it is viable and cultivable in soil bioremediation.

Published: February 2025

The Borana rangeland has diverse species of woody and herbaceous plants which are useful as forage. Chemical analysis, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and in sacco degradability study were conducted on feed samples  collected from browse and grass species during the hot dry and main rainy seasons.  Chemical analysis and IVDMD were done for Acacia brevispica, A. nilotica, A. seyal, A. tortilis, Balanites aegyptiaca, Grewia bicolor, G. tembensis, Rhus natalensis, Vernonia cinerascens and Maracaa and grass species Cenchrus ciliaris, Chrysopogon aucheri and P. mezianum while in sacco degradability was done for A. nilotica, B. aegyptiaca, G. bicolor, R. natalensis and C. aucheri. The crude protein content (CP) of the browse species was higher in the rainy season except A. seyal which had higher value in the dry season (210 g/kg DM).   The condensed tannin (CT) concentration ranged from 1.2 to 332 g/kg DM in B. aegyptiaca and A. tortilis, respectively.  The NDF and ADF were highest in G. tembensis and G. bicolor while lowest values were in A. nilotica and A. seyal in the dry season, respectively. During the rainy season G. tembensis had highest NDF (750.9 g/kg DM) and lowest was in A. nilotica (128.1 g/ kg DM). The IVDMD among the browse varied from 965.7 to 718.9 and 974.7 to 676.3 in the dry and rainy seasons, respectively.  In grass species CP was from 56 to 78. The NDF ranged from 728 to 749 g/kg DM and from 673 to 709 g/kg DM in dry and rainy seasons, respectively. The IVDMD was higher in the rainy season (698.2-811.5 vs 577.8-620.2). The in sacco DM degradability was highest for A. nilotica followed by B. aegyptiaca and lowest was in C. aucheri. The browse had high feed potential based on chemical and digestibility/degradability values recorded in this study while grasses could be considered as moderate.  Among the grasses, C. ciliaris and C. aucheri are promising in terms of the digestibility values. However this conclusion needs to be supported by animal experiments and knowledge of the local community.

Published: February 2025

Twenty genotypes from natural populations of mangaba located in Itaporanga D’Ajuda (Sergipe, Brazil) were analyzed using RAPD markers. Polymorphism, genetic diversity and structure parameters were determined to characterize the differences between individual plants. 60 DNA fragments were generated by 10 primers, 85% of which were polymorphic. Results show a quantitative genetic diversity value of 0.35 and a Shannon index of 0.46 in the population. The similarity among the specimens according to Jaccard’s coefficient ranged from 0.36 to 0.87. Using cluster analysis, it was possible to indentify five groups. Three individuals also stand out because they presented significant divergence from the groups. The PCoA formed four groups, with three of the groups isolated from the others. This investigation showed that genetic diversity was relatively large among these individuals. In addition, the results demonstrated that RAPD markers are a useful tool for evaluating the genetic diversity and relationships among mangaba.
EFFECT OF SOYBEAN PLANT POPULATIONS ON YIELD AND PRODUCTIVITY OF CASSAVA AND SOYBEAN GROWN IN A CASSAVA-BASED INTERCROPPING SYSTEM

Published: February 2025

Intercropping cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), with varying soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] plant populations may influence not only the performance of the component crops but also the residual nitrogen contribution to the cropping system. The treatment scheme was cassava fixed at 100% of its sole crop population of 10,000 plants ha-1 while soybean was varied at 25, 50, 75 and 100% of its sole crop population of 266,000 plants ha-1, representing 66,500; 133,000; 199,500 and 266,000 plants ha-1, respectively. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Fresh tuber yield in cassava increased as soybean population increased to the highest amount used in the study while number of pods plant-1 and seed weight plant-1 in soybean were depressed by intercropping in the two cropping seasons. However, soybean grain yield was significantly increased with increase in population due to higher aggregate plant populations per unit area in the intercrop. Averaged over the two cropping seasons, productivity showed that cassava/soybean intercrop, especially at the highest soybean population gave the highest yield advantage in terms of total land equivalent ratio, (2.00), land equivalent coefficient (2.41), crop yield equivalent for cassava (31.07 t ha-1) and for soybean (2.25 t ha-1), monetary equivalent ratio (1.56), total gross monetary returns (
N
170,311.52) and total net profit (
N
74,488.02).  This implies that for maximum financial returns, additive intercropping of cassava and soybean at 100% cassava + 100% soybean is recommended because of improved productivity of the system as well as bonus yield and improved health of the farmers from the associated soybean component are achieved.
OCCURRENCE IN THE SOIL AND DISPERSAL OF Lecanicillium lecanii, A FUNGAL PATHOGEN OF THE GREEN COFFEE SCALE (Coccus viridis) AND COFFEE RUST (Hemileia vastatrix)
Authors: Jackson Doug William , Zemenick Kate , Huerta Graciela
Published: February 2025

The fungus Lecanicillium lecanii attacks the green scale (Coccus viridis), a pest of coffee, and is also a hyperparasite of coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix). Knowledge of the epizootiology of this fungus is potentially important for conservation biological control in coffee agroecosystems. The presence of viable propagules of L. lecanii in the soil, a possible environmental reservoir, was assessed using two baiting methods: the standard Galleria mellonella bait method and a C. viridis bait method. Infectious propagules of L. lecanii were detected in soil samples taken from a 45 ha study plot, both nearby and far from recent epizootics of L. lecanii. To test the potential for the transmission of L. lecanii conidia from the soil via rain splash or wind, coffee seedlings with populations of C. viridis were placed near L. lecanii-inoculated soil and then subjected to artificial rain and wind treatments. Rain splash was shown to be a potential transmission mechanism. Dispersal of L. lecanii conidia by the ant Azteca instabilis was tested using field and laboratory ant-exclusion experiments. Azteca instabilis was shown to transport conidia of L. lecanii; however, dispersal by A. instabilis may not be important under field conditions.

Published: February 2025

Ivermectin-based anthelmintics are used in livestock systems of Mexico. However, its effect on the abundance, species distribution and spatial arrangement of dung beetles need to be explored. To estimate the effect of ivermectin, monthly collections were made from July 2008 to June 2009, in a pasture in central Veracruz. Ten pitfall traps were baited with manure (SI) and ten traps with manure plus ivermectin (CI). The data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS v. 9.1. By using the variance to mean ratio index and negative binomial´s K, we determined the spatial pattern through time. 4569 beetles were collected, belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, divided into three subfamilies Scarabaeinae, Geotrupinae and Aphodiinae, and 15 species, the most abundant were Digitonthophagus gazella F. and Euoniticellus intermedius Reiche, accounting for 65% of the individuals found. There were differences in the catches of six species of beetles, being lower in CI traps. E. intermedius, D. colonicus, and C. lugubris in june 2009. D. gazella and Ataenius cribithorax, presented lower captures in SI traps in october and november respectively. The beetles showed an aggregated spatial arrangement during the sampling period, having higher densities on the central and southeastern pasture. The presence of ivermectin in cattle dung did not affect the aggregation of dung beetles in the area of study.
GRANULOMETRIC AND HUMIC FRACTIONS CARBON STOCKS OF SOIL ORGANIC MATTER UNDER NO-TILLAGE SYSTEM IN UBERABA, BRAZIL

Published: February 2025

The cover plant use preceding grain crops in Cerrado soil can increase the carbon stocks of chemical and physical fractions of soil organic matter (SOM). The present study aimed to quantify the carbon stocks of SOM granulometric and humic fractions in a Cerrado area under no-tillage system with different cover plant, and compare the results with those from conventional tillage and fallow areas, in Uberaba, MG, Brazil. The implemented cover crops were: millet, tropical grass and sunn hemp. Furthermore, an area was used in fallow and another as a control area (conventional tillage). After cover crop removal, the areas were subdivided for the corn and soybean plantation. Soil samples were collected in the 0.0-0.025, 0.025-0.05, 0.05-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m depths, with posterior quantification of total organic carbon (TOC) levels and chemical and granulometric fractionation of SOM. Humic acid carbon (C-HAF), fulvic acids (C-FAF) and humin (C-HUM) were quantified through these fractionations. The granulometric fractions consisted in particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral organic matter (MOM). Using the carbon levels for each fraction, the respective stocks for each depth were calculated, including the 0.0-0.20 m layer. In the 0.0-0.20 m layer, TOC had the highest stocks for the millet area. The highest POM stocks were found for the corn plantation over sunn hemp and the fallow and soybean area over millet and tropical grass (0.0-0.20 m). In relation to the MOM stocks, the highest values were observed in the areas with millet, sunn hemp and tropical (palisade) grass, all superior to those found in the conventional tillage and fallow areas, independent of evaluated culture (0.10-0.20 m). The highest C-HUM stocks were observed in the area with tropical grass (0.025-0.05 m) and areas with tropical grass and sunn hemp (0.10-0.20 m), when compared to conventional tillage, independent of evaluated culture (corn and soybean). The highest C-FAH stocks in the depth of 0.0-0.025 m were found in the areas with millet and sunn hemp rather than the conventional tillage and fallow areas. In a general manner, the use of grass (millet and tropical grass) as cover plant preceding soybean tillage and legumes (sunn hemp) preceding corn tillage favored a raise in the stocks of humic and granulometric fractions of SOM, especially POM and C-FAH, the fractions most benefitted by this soil management.

Guiana and the Shadows of Empire
Authors: Hyles Joshua R.
Published: February 2025

This book is a history of the three Guianas, now known as Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Though histories of each of the countries exist, this is the first work in a century to consider the three countries as a group, and thus the first to present the history of all three as a comparative and overarching study. Special emphasis has been given to the story of how each colony was administered by Britain, the Netherlands, and France respectively, and how these differing colonial administrative policies have given rise to three vastly different cultures. Because the geographical area of the Guianas is relatively small, the indigenous population at the time of contact was relatively uniform across the area, and the external pressures on the three colonies over their histories exhibited significant similarities, the book presents the Guianas as an ideal laboratory in which to study the effects of imperialism and cultural assimilation practices. The book also briefly considers the present political and cultural status of the three polities and makes some projections about their possible futures. In all, the book presents a complete history from prehistory until the present day covering the entirety of the Guianas region, relating a colorful history from a little-studied corner of the world.

Introduction: Spiritual practices have the capacity to integrate different aspects of human experiences: emotional, mental, and physical. Pilgrimage is a spiritual practice. While certain aspects of pilgrimage are known to soothe anxiety and provide a sense of serenity, it is also established that the intensity of the experience can, in some cases, trigger or exacerbate pre-existing psychological disorders.

Methods: We have chosen to illustrate our reflection through the analysis of two representative clinical vignettes. The discussion highlights the importance of a holistic and humanistic approach to the psychological realities of religious pilgrimages. Through the illustrations and syndromes described in the literature, it appears that travel, particularly to a place imbued with strong religious symbolism, can generate a variety of psychopathological disturbances The objective is not to pathologize such a significant spiritual experience but rather to better understand its implications to prevent avoidable suffering and support individuals in their personal and spiritual quest.

Published: February 2025

The cat owners who prioritize their cats’ well-being always have to check and prevent cat diseases, e.g., hematuria. Once the cat is suspected to have diseases, the veterinarian will diagnose through observation of blood or urine. Any abnormal chemical parameters can indicate cat diseases. For example, hemoglobin indicates feline urinary tract disease. To collect cat’s urine, the vet has to perform cystocentesis or catheterization directly to the urinary bladder which can cause unnecessary stress and affliction. This project is collaborated with cat litter (Brand: Hide & Seek) to develop a curcumin based colorimetric sensor to detect blood (Fe2+ in Heme) used in the cassava cat litter. Curcumin is biocompatible, affordable, economical scale and easy to observe color change. Since Fe2+ ion is possible to form complex structures with the derivative of curcumins to give a color range from red to pale yellow. The derivative of curcumins was prepared at pH 12 and 14 to detect different Fe2+ concentrations. The color changes were firstly inspected using UV-Vis spectroscopy. After validating the color change using UV-vis spectra, the normalized RGB values which suit in practical application were then performed. In the case, the curcumin sensor was applied to the standard Fe2+ solution with several concentrations and the pork blood with several diluted levels to reveal the detection efficiency. The results showed that the curcumin at pH 12 provide more accurate quantitative results compared to the curcumin at pH 14. The linear correlation with R2 > 0.90 is observed in the range of 0.01-10 ppm.

This study aims to analyze the economic performance of Brazil from 2000 to 2020, addressing the behavior of the country's exports, imports, and GDP. To that end, the degree of Economic Openness and the Export Effort index were applied, using data from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade and the World Bank. The indicators calculated did not show significant performance over the analyzed period, and a tendency of stagnation was observed, which indicates that Brazil still faces challenges in global trade. Even after the rupture from the import substitution process, the country has encountered difficulties inserting itself as a major player in the international market. Over the last two decades, Brazil experienced moments of decline in its commercial interactions, mainly immediately after the 2008 global financial crisis, and later with the internal political and economic instability it experienced from 2014 onwards, which negatively impacted its GDP. The country's reliance on commodity exports and the limited dynamism of its domestic industrial production are important factors to be considered by economic policymakers, to enable greater balance, autonomy and competitiveness for the Brazilian trade sector.
Mistaken theses in the debate on deindustralization and loss of competitiveness of Brazilian industry
Authors: Luis Oreiro
Published: February 2025

Nowadays it is a consensus among Brazilian economists that Brazil suffered a huge process of deindustrialization since 2005. But this consensus had emerged only in the last years. During the period between 2008 and 2012 a huge debate between heterodox and orthodox economists in Brazil occurred about the existence of deindustrialization. The orthodox economists had denied the existence and/or the relevance of deindustrialization for the Brazilian economy for many years. At the end, they lost the debate, heterodox economists, mainly the ones related with the so-called the Brazilian new-developmentalist School were right: Brazil deindustrialize, and this negative structural change had reduced the long-term growth of Brazilian economy. The objective of this paper is to present the orthodox thesis about the deindustrialization of Brazilian economy, identifying the reasons by which they proved to be wrong. As we shall argue on this article, deindustrialization in Brazil is not a natural outcome of development process, but it is premature and caused, mainly, by exchange rate overvaluation that is the result of the increase in terms of trade occurred in the period between 2005 and 2011. Moreover, deindustrialization is not an irrelevant phenomenon for development of Brazilian economy in medium and long-term, since manufacturing industry is a unique sector where we observe the highest levels of labour productivity.
Dilemmas and challenges for the Amazon biome
Authors: de Jesus , Batista Nogueira , Mourão Borges
Published: February 2025

The Amazon represents a socio-environmental complexity whose resolution of the tensions that exist necessarily involves multilateral actions. Its biome is shared by several countries that have different standards regarding this relationship with nature. On the other hand, internal actions in each country, from the border, through the urban network and the implementation of infrastructure, pose challenges for governments to meet the population's desires without intensely affecting the Amazonian environment. Thus, one of the paths has been the expansion of protected areas and territories, and the creation of Indigenous lands or reserves as a way of ensuring the conservation of forests and the way of life of traditional populations way of life that have a harmonious relationship with nature, counting, for this, with the financial support of Northern countries. They also have a strong interest in environmental conservation in the face of advances in livestock farming, monoculture, and extreme climate changes.

Authors: Brajović Jovana , Jovanović-Popović Dejana
Published: February 2025

The financial sector of critical infrastructure represents one of the most vulnerable sectors when it comes to cyber attacks, due to its crucial role in the global economy and the nature of business today. The digitalization of finance opens the door to cyber attacks through the wide and pervasive availability of financial services on modern technologies and networks. This paper explores protective measures against cyber attacks in the financial sector by analyzing three significant incidents: the attack on the Central Bank of Bangladesh, the data breach at Capital One, and the ransomware attack on Travelex, a money transfer company. The primary aim of the research is to analyze the impact of cyber attacks on the financial sector of critical infrastructure and to identify effective protective measures that can reduce the risk of similar attacks in the future. By utilizing a review of international literature and case studies, the paper emphasizes the importance of integrating technological and organizational measures, as well as the significance of building cyber resilience through continuous improvement of security protocols and a culture of cyber awareness. The research findings indicate that while cyber attacks pose significant risks, they can also drive financial institutions toward innovation and enhancement of protective measures.

Published: February 2025

Abstract: This study aims to analyze two different sides of views about the Qur'an, where the Qur'an is a book for Muslims in which there is no dispute (ikhtilaf), while on the other hand there is a Qur'anic verse that recites the pronunciation of nasakh as found in Q.S. al-Baqarah verse 106. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The results showed that there are different points of view of the scholars, namely: First, those who accept at once and give support to nasakh which means in the Qur'an there is cancellation. These scholars include Ibn Kasir and Ahmad Mustafa al-Maragi. Second, they do not accept nasakh in the sense of nullifying the law that Allah directly revealed and they interpret as nasakh equals takhsis or more to specification. These scholars include 'Abd al-Muta'al al-Jabri and Muhammad al-Bahi. So it is not surprising that the discussion related to Nasikh Wa al-Mansukh is an interesting topic to be studied.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dua sisi pandangan berbeda tentang al-Qur’an, di mana al-Qur’an merupakan kitab bagi umat Islam yang di dalamnya tidak ada perselisihan (ikhtilaf), sedangkan di sisi lain terdapat ayat al-Qur’an yang melafadzkan lafal nasakh sebagaimana terdapat pada Q.S. al-Baqarah ayat 106. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan sudut pandang para ulama, yaitu: Pertama, mereka yang menerima sekaligus dan memberi dukungan atas nasakh yang berarti dalam al-Qur’an terdapat pembatalan. Ulama tersebut di antaranya ialah Ibnu Kasir dan Ahmad Mustafa al-Maragi. Kedua, mereka tidak menerima nasakh dalam artian pembatalan hukum yang secara langsung Allah turunkan dan mereka artikan sebagai nasakh sama dengan takhsis atau lebih ke pengkhususan. Ulama tersebut di antaranya ‘Abd al-Muta’al al-Jabri juga Muhammad al-Bahi. Maka tidak heran apabila pembahasan terkait Nasikh Wa al-Mansukh merupakan topik yang menarik untuk ditelaah.

Published: February 2025

Etos kerja dalam Islam merupakan aspek fundamental dalam membangun peradaban yang produktif dan berkelanjutan. Tafsir Al-Misbah karya M. Quraish Shihab menawarkan perspektif unik mengenai etos kerja berdasarkan ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep etos kerja dalam Tafsir Al-Misbah dan tantangan penerapannya di era globalisasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka dengan pendekatan tafsir tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Tafsir Al-Misbah menekankan pentingnya kerja keras (ijtihad), tanggung jawab (amanah), keadilan (‘adalah), dan keseimbangan (tawazun) dalam bekerja. Namun, di era globalisasi, tantangan seperti disrupsi teknologi, degradasi moral, dan kapitalisme berlebihan dapat menghambat implementasi etos kerja Islam. Kebaharuan dari penelitian ini terletak pada analisis kritis terhadap relevansi konsep etos kerja dalam Tafsir Al-Misbah dengan dinamika modern. Studi ini berkontribusi dalam menawarkan solusi berbasis nilai Islam dalam menghadapi tantangan kerja di era digital.

Authors: Kuswandi Yudi , Jubaedah Dedah
Published: February 2025

Memahami ajaran Islam dengan benar merupakan kunci dalam membangun Masyarakat Madani yang berlandaskan keadilan dan etika. Saat ini terdapat kesenjangan antara realita keberagamaan masyarakat dengan tujuan ideal beragama. Hal ini didasarkan terhadap metode memahami ajaran agama secara parsial. Mengatasi hal tersebut, diperlukan metodologi yang tepat dalam memahami ajaran Islam secara holistik (kaffah). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis metodologi dalam memahami Islam secara komprehensif serta implikasinya terhadap pembangunan masyarakat yang beradab. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi literatur dan analisis komparatif terhadap pemikiran Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode memahami ajaran agama yang holistik dan komprehensif dengan memadukan berbagai metode dan pendekatan, seperti menggabungkan metode naqli (tradisional-tekstual); metode aqli (rasional-kontekstual), dan metode kasyaf (mistis-imani), akan menghasilkan semangat sikap tasamuh (toleransi), dan prinsip demokrasi serta terjaganya proporsional sikap eksklusif dan inklusif akan menjauhkan sikap kesombongan teologis, yang menganggap kebenaran mutlak hanya miliki dirinya. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam merumuskan kerangka metodologi sistematis yang relevan dengan tantangan zaman. Adapun kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi prinsip Islam klasik dengan perspektif epistemologi modern guna memperkuat harmoni sosial.
If Words Hurt, Can Tylenol Help? Testing for an embodied basis of pain-related meaning in words
Authors: Li Zixuan , Wang Yicheng , Wang Yu
Published: February 2025

This study explores the relationship between physical pain sensitivity and word meaning perception, building on findings by Reuter et al. (2016) that individuals experiencing higher levels of pain associate words more strongly with pain. Grounded in the Body-Specificity Hypothesis (BSH; Casasanto, 2009), the research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which physical pain influences cognitive interpretations of language. A pharmaceutical intervention utilizing an analgesic will be employed to investigate these effects.
REKOGNICE ROLE VZDĚLÁVÁNÍ V PODNIKOVÉ SFÉŘE
Authors: Mužík Jaroslav , Löwenhöfferová Radka
Published: February 2025

Cílem předložené statě je v odborném i všeobecném pohledu reagovat na často proklamovanou skepsi v médiích týkající se vzdělávání v podnikové sféře. Rešeršní a vědecko-výzkumné aktivity autorů sledují rekognici, tj. přezkoumání různých poloh podnikového vzdělávání a identifikovat roli, tj. úlohu či poslání, resp. postavení této činnosti v životě organizací a různých hospodářských subjektů. Podnikové, profesně orientované další vzdělávání je stále více chápáno jako součást řídících systémů podniku. Zakladatel GE Capital Jack Welch (2003, s. 41) se vyjadřoval o podnikovém vzdělávání „jako o důležitém sloupu činnosti podniku (vedle výrobních faktorů, systémů řízení, marketingových činností a financování podniku)“. Podle citovaného autora se podnikové školící akce, rozvoj pracovníků, zahrnující různé stáže, studijní pobyty a další prvky profesního a osobnostního rozvoje lidí podílí až 40 % na hodnotě firem v americké ekonomice. Výstupy takového vzdělávání v podobě znalostí, dovedností a profesních návyků se promítají do jejich účetního zhodnocení ceny pracovníků v dané organizaci.
ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS IN FOOD, ON THE EXAMPLE OF INVESTMENTS IN WHISKY
Authors: Najman Michał
Published: February 2025

The aim of the article is to indicate whether investing in whisky as a form of alternative investment is a viable form of investment and what the determinants of this profitability are. The reason for the research undertaken is an attempt to present the whisky investment market, which has so far been omitted in considerations of alternative investments. The profitability of investment in whisky was analyzed using static and dynamic methods on the basis of data available on the collector’s market. A statistical analysis of the ROI determinant and the period of return on investment in whisky in the indicated market using the r-Pearson and the Spearman ranks was carried out. The analysis covered an eleven-year period (2008–2018). There were 40 selected collector bottles available for purchase at the World Whisky Index, whose purchase prices were announced. The whisky came from 29 distilleries, of which 21 were open and 8 were closed. The influence of the age of whisky on the ROI, whether the distillery from which it came was still functioning and its taste were analyzed. The research revealed that both the age of the whisky and its taste had a marginal impact on the ROI and PP on investment in whisky, which is surprising in a food commodity. The results showed that the factor which most determines the profitability of investment in whisky is the place of origin (the distillery), more precisely whether the factory is still functioning or not.
