Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, a zsidó konyha első szakírója
Authors: Körner András
Published: April 2023

Moritz Gottlieb Saphir (1795−1858), magyar származású osztrák író a zsidó ételekről szóló írások úttörője volt. 1847-ben megjelentette Die Gastronomie der Juden (A zsidók gasztronómiája) című írását, amely valószínűleg az első olyan tanulmány, amely kizárólag az askenázi zsidó konyha hagyományos ételeivel foglalkozik. Emellett 1840-ben Saphir írta az első recenziót egy zsidó szakácskönyvről, 1852-ben pedig az első zsidó étteremről szóló kritikát. A XIX. század előtti források – például az ünnepekről szóló könyvek, emlékiratok, rabbinikus határozatok stb. –, ha zsidó ételekről tartalmaznak információkat, azokat kivétel nélkül vallási kontextusban írják le. Ezzel szemben Saphir megközelítése világi és kulturális szempontú: az akkulturáció által veszélyeztetett zsidó étkezési hagyományokat akarta megörökíteni. Több mint valószínű, hogy Saphir volt az első, aki ilyen jellegű cikkeket publikált, munkássága mintegy ötven évvel megelőzi a zsidó étkezési hagyományok kutatásának első, hasonlóan antropológiai megközelítésű munkáit.
Betekintés a két világháború közötti győri izraelita polgári életvilágba
Authors: Csendes Tünde
Published: April 2023

Laendler Antal győri izraelita felekezetű földbirtokos középpolgári családjának életpályáját követve élesebb megvilágításba kerülnek az egyéni szinten hozott döntések. A két világháború közötti Magyarország zsidó vallású állampolgárai eltérő módon viszonyultak a modernizáció kihívásaihoz. Jelen írás terjedelme csak nagyobb vonalakban teszi lehetővé, hogy bemutassam a vizsgált korszakban azt a folyamatot, amelynek során a magyarországi zsidók egyre növekvő létszámban váltak a kései feudalizmus magyarországi gazdasági és társadalmi fejlődésének egyre aktívabb résztvevőivé és nem kis részben formálóivá. A tanulmányozott család felekezeti, kulturális identitását történeti kontextusba kívánom elhelyezni, ezen identitások változékonyságát hangsúlyozva.
Séták az „idegen Bábelben”. Szimbolikus topográfia és zsidóellenes politika Budapesten
Authors: Kékesi Zoltán
Published: April 2023

A tanulmány Budapest 1920 és 1945 közötti zsidóellenes topográfiáját rekonstruálja az antiszemita sajtón és könyvkiadáson keresztül, egyben az 1945 utáni emigrációra is kitérve. Célja, hogy e topográfia feltárásán keresztül hozzájáruljon a Budapest 1944-es „faji” újjászervezésében szerepet játszó szimbolikus tényezők megértéséhez és ezen keresztül a térelméletek és térbeli módszerek alkalmazásához a holokauszt kutatásában. A budapesti gettók példáján keresztül megmutatja, hogy a zsidóellenes térpolitikák – részben legalábbis – a városi terek kulturális-imaginatív konstrukciójára is visszavezethetők.

Rhetorical Pattern of Argumentation in the Research Article: A Corpus Approach
Authors: Amuzie Faith
Published: April 2023

Academic writing is an argumentative entity carefully crafted to project specific desired knowledge claims. Writers engage in the use of particular rhetorical structure devices to advance arguments and negotiate knowledge in order to persuade and convince an academic audience. This corpus based study examined the rhetorical schemeta (e.g. definition, evaluation, centrality claim) often deployed by Nigerian academics in the cross disciplinary fields of language arts and natural science to advance arguments in research articles. The study aimed at identifying how academic writers project knowledge claims in the research article. Three key objectives underlying this study were to identify elements used in staking claims, determine the patterns such elements follow and their communicative functions. The data for the study were 20 comparable research articles derived from two academic sub-corpora (10 academic writing humanities and 10 academic writing natural sciences) of the International Corpus of English Nigeria (ICE). Analysis of the data was done using AntMover software analyser. The study revealed, for instance, that the academics frequently used specific types of rhetorical devices that varied in their schemes more than some other types. The study has implications for academic writing and reader comprehensibility.
English Language Teaching from Behaviourism to Interactionism: Implication for Second Language Teaching
Authors: Gbenedio Uche
Published: April 2023

This paper examines diachronically, the philosophical, psychological and linguistic theories that have propelled language teaching over the years. It proposes that the pedagogical procedures of teaching English as a Second Language at all levels should gain from these rich theoretical resources and the vast repertoire of methodological approaches arising from them including the ‘new methods’. The foundations of human learning expressed in Behaviourism, Innatism, Cognitivism, Constructivism and Social-Pragmatism as well as the Interaction theories have contributed variously to Second Language teaching and learning. While some of the theories have emphasised physical patterns, others have emphasised mental patterns and each group has contributed to teaching methods and practices of language teaching. In this paper, the major contributions of each group are interrogated via a descriptive study of the theories. The paper concludes that no matter the method the second language teacher elects to use, a well-adapted and conducive learning environment can maximise the contributions from each of these theories to make L2 teaching more successful.

Aadhunik Samskrit Kavita Or Maharishi Arvind Ka Aadhyatmik Rashtravaad
Authors: Dr. Arun Kumar Nishad
Published: April 2023

The natural self-respect of dignity and glory that people have towards their nation's land, population, culture, civilization, history, religion, literature, art, politics, philosophy of life etc. is called nationalism. Poet Maithilisharan Gupta has written-

"jisako nij gaaruv tatha nij desh ka abheemaan hai

vah nar nahin nar- pusu nira hai ya mere lie jarooree saamaan hai” ||The meaning of the word nation is very broad. In the meaning of 'Rajati Rajate Va Iti Rashtram', the word 'Rashtra' is derived from the root 'Raj Deeptau' and 'Sarvdhatubhya: Shtran' (Aunadic Sutra). National consciousness is situated in the form of a universal routine rather than being representative of any particular place, time or character. This eternal life force, which we are calling national consciousness, resides in the psyche of our countrymen, in their heartland. The feeling of nationalism lives in the minds and hearts of its people. This is the national form of India. The entire Sanskrit literature is full of nationalism, but the irony is that due to not being the language of common people, people are still unaware of the secrets hidden in these texts. Right from the Rigveda to cosmic literature, all the concepts of the nation and its related ideas are full of ideas. In the Vak Sukta of Rigveda, the sage says-“Truth, O king, and falsehood, and deception, come to the dominion of my nation”Some poet has said –“The north which is the sea and the south of the HimalayasVarsha tad bharatam nama bharati yatra santati:||”It is written in the Yajurveda that the nation should be independent, benevolent to the people and strive for the welfare of the world.“Janabhrtya Rashtrada Rashtra Me Datta , Visvabhrtastha Rashtra Da |Give me the nation , give me the nation in my own kingdom” ||It is also described in the Shukla Yajurveda –“........yogakshemam na: kalpantam” ||Also elsewhere –Ittha hi som inmade brahma cakara vardhanam |Shavistha Vajrinnojasa prithivya ni:shasha ahimarchannanu svarajyam”||In the Prithvi Sukta (12/1) and Rashtrabhivardhanam Sukta (1/29) of the Atharva Veda, the sages have described the same:Abhivritya sapatnanabhi ya no arayata: |Abhiprutanyantam tishtabhi yo no durasyati ||The Manusmriti expresses national consciousness as –This is the firstborn of the country-bornAll men on earth will learn their own character.” ||Modern Sanskrit poets are also reflecting nationalism in their poems.
Emerging Issues and Problems of Soil Salinity and Water Logging
Authors: Abhay Shankar Prasad
Published: April 2023

Soil salinity negatively affects plant growth and induces soil degradation. Saline soils indicate lower agricultural productivity and their impact on the livelihood security of farmers and the socio-economic status of the Indira Gandhi Canal region, Rajasthan.  In the context of irrigation development, problems of rising groundwater levels and the development of salinity have arisen in the Indira Gandhi Nahar Priyojana (IGNP) area. The irrigation has recently decreased to about 1 meter, much higher than the specified value of 0.51 m in phase I. In phase I, severe inundation was observed. found in a variety of locations. It is anticipated that by the end of this century, roughly 49.6 percent of the region being studied will be at risk of experiencing flooding. The waterlogging, soil salinity, and alkalinity that plague India's agricultural landscape pose a challenge to the viability of irrigated farming. It has been determined that the most effective technique for halting the reduction in agricultural output is to use enhanced irrigation management in conjunction with a combination of surface and subsurface drainage. The method of reclaiming waterlogged lands by bio drainage is one that is efficient and economical. For the objectives of rehabilitation, species such as Salvador, Tamarix, Eucalyptus, and Prosopis Juliflora are among those that are recommended for planting in afflicted regions. The bio-drainage system helped in reducing the waterlogged areas and soil salinity by lowering the water table in the study area. Traditional knowledge and modern agricultural management good practices should be adopted for efficient and optimal use of water resources. This can be achieved by maintaining irrigation through the minimum pumping hours according to the minimum water requirements of the crop, as well as choosing more cost-effective planting methods. This research paper recommends policies to improve traditional and scientific knowledge into policies and improve mutual understanding, cooperation, and collaboration for better policy results for sustainable development and mitigate the emerging Issues and problems of soil Salinity and water logging in the area of Indira Gandhi Canal, Rajasthan.

It is mentioned in the situation that the watery horses, powerful chariots and woolen clothes of the Indus region were famous all over the world. The Atharvaveda has only one Sukta in the name of Vanijya Sukta - Descriptions of sea visits are also found in Jataka stories and Buddhist stories. Business reasons are used to visit the traders of one country to another country. He (traders) had to teach the dialect of that country for their thoughts and purchasing and purchasing goods. The Harappans were identified as very good marine sailors. The Dakyard found in Lothal, Gujarat is very concrete evidence of the maritime trade being done during that time. The people of the Harappan civilization established contacts with the countries of Oman, Bahrain, and West Asia. Since the Harappan period, cloth has been continuously one of the major items of Indian trade. According to Hagel- “India is known as the land of ambitions in history. Their (traders) this reconciliation result was that each other's languages got so much that they started being used in colloquial just like Hindi-Sanskrit and gradually made their grip to literary disciplines.

Published: April 2023

No country is capable of building a progressive society without resorting to systematic modification of the model of public management, as the states of the Baltic Sea region have proven by their own example. The relevance of the analysis of the public administration mechanisms of the Baltic countries is explained by the success of the modernized policy of the administration system in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, whose experience is a vivid illustration of successful reform and the desire for permanent socio-economic growth. The purpose of this scientific work is to study the multifaceted components of the functioning of the updated concept of public administration of the Baltic republics through the prism of European integration processes within the countries, in particular. The leading methods of research work were the methods of analysis and generalization, with the help of which the key means of improving the public sector of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia were revealed in combination with the method of comparison, which made it possible to compare the public management models of the three Baltic states. This article reveals the importance of the implementation of innovative decisions by subjects of power in order to realize the civil liberties of the population and ensure the principles of public administration. It was established that the change in the principles of state leadership in the Baltic states was due to the preparation for joining the European Union. In particular, the idea of interaction between state institutions and the civilian population was introduced, the latest information technologies were involved, and an anti-corruption policy was implemented. It was determined that the reformation of the public sector depends on ensuring its smooth functioning. The practical value of the mentioned scientific work lies in the possibility of using its materials in the process of developing reform solutions for the reconstruction of the public administration system
Construction of canal surfaces based on a specified flat curvature line
Authors: Frolov Oleg
Published: April 2023

The research relevance is predefined by the widespread use of elements and structures that have the shape of canal surfaces in engineering practice and the possibilities of reproducing the surface through kinematics. The research aims to develop new means of modeling canal surfaces referred to as a grid of curvature lines by introducing elements with special properties into the structural model that simplify the solution of differential equations and reduce the amount of computation. To achieve the research methods, the synthetic geometric method, methods of linear algebra, the theory of differential equations and differential geometry, as well as methods of computer geometric modeling and visualization of three-dimensional objects were used. Studies on modeling and studying the properties of channel surfaces are analyzed. The research on the problem of the surfaces and lines of curvature is considered in more detail and the conditions under which it is possible to simplify the solution of the differential equation are identified. It was proved that the condition of contact between the canal surface and the plane along a given plane curve is sufficient for this curve to be one of the curvature lines of the family of orthogonal to the generating circles. This allowed to reduce the solution of the differential equation to two quadratures. The expressions of the corresponding integrals and an algorithm for modeling the canal surface with the possibility of referring to a grid of curvature lines were obtained. The expressions that define the desired surface include the parametric equations of a given plane line; a function that determines the radii of the spheres of the family depending on the parameter of this line. A specific example of modeling a surface based on a defined formula was also considered, and images of this surface with visualization of the coordinate grid were presented. The research’s practical values are defined by the possibility of using the developed modeling tools in the design and computer-aided design of the geometry of real products containing surfaces of a smooth transition of variable radius

Special taxation regime for agricultural enterprises: Ukrainian experience
Authors: Yushko Serhii
Published: April 2023

The problem of building a taxation system for agricultural producers that would take into account the specifics of their activities, would not be too burdensome, would stimulate or, at least, would not become an obstacle to the increase of business entities’ activities remains extremely relevant for agrarian Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to analyze the special taxation regime for agricultural producers, to characterize the stages of its formation and development, to determine changes in the level of tax burden on taxpayers in the dynamics, and to substantiate the criteria for the expediency of certain producers to be on the simplified, special taxation system. In order to solve certain tasks, historical, statistical and economic, abstract and logical, and graphical research methods were used in the paper. The paper shows that the most favorable taxation of farmers was in the first 5 years after the introduction of the special taxation regime in 1999. The mandatory payments, the exemption from which was most noticeable for commodity producers, are named. The tax burden on agricultural enterprises is studied, the reasons for changes in its level in the dynamics are substantiated. The advantages and disadvantages of a simplified approach to taxation of agricultural producers based on the area of agricultural land under cultivation are outlined. The author describes the reasons for the introduction of legislative provision on the collection of mandatory payments from agricultural producers at a level not lower than the minimum tax liability, starting from 2022, and determines the consequences of such innovation for an average Ukrainian enterprise, and also draws conclusions concerning the prospects for further taxation of agricultural producers. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of their use, on the one hand, by the legislator to reform the current system of taxation of agricultural producers, and on the other hand, by specific producers, when deciding on the choice of a taxation system that would be more economically beneficial for them

Reduction and Capture of Green House Gas Emissions from an Oil Refinery with Amine/Piperazine- and Amine/Sulfolane-Based Solvents
Authors: Al Ghamdi Ahmed
Published: April 2023

This paper focuses on the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from petroleum/petrochemical refineries which are predominantly in the form of CO2. A refinery located in the Gulf is selected and methodologies to reduce and capture CO2 are presented. The refinery emits approximately 775 tonnes/year CO2. A sound energy policy, robust process control, careful operation of motor driven equipment and process heaters could lead to appreciable reduction of these emissions. After reduction, the capture of remaining CO2 emissions with PZ (piperazine) and sulfolane-based smine solvents is simulated and optimized to get minimum re-boiler duty in the stripper. The process simulator ASPEN software is used for simulations. The optimization results indicate that PZ-based amine solvent performs better than sulfolane-based amine when H2S in the flue gas is in small amounts. The re-boiler duty seems to depend upon the temperature of the stripper feed. It is proposed that heat exchanger design be improved that exchanges heat between lean and rich amines.
Use of Hydro-chemical Tools to Improve Definitions of the North-Western Sahara Aquifer System, Case of Ouargla Groundwater, Algeria
Authors: Hafid Feyrouz , Zeddouri Aziez , Zerrouki Hichem , Saadali Badreddine , Ghrieb Lassaad , Sid Asma
Published: April 2023

The North-Western Sahara Aquifer System (NWSAS) is a complex multi-layered aquifer system with extraordinary continental groundwater reserves. This largest aquifer in the world straddles three countries: Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia. It contains more than 50,000 billion cubic meters of water; of which, 70% is in Algerian territory in the southeast of the country. This water is the result of accumulation over 1 million years. In the Wadi Mya basin (Algeria), this system is characterized by two overlaid aquifer systems: the complex terminal (CT), a shallow aquifer housed in the Senonian-Eocene and Mio-Pliocene formations, and the continental intercalary (CI), a deep aquifer hosted in the Albian, Aptian and Barremian formations. The main purpose of this study is to carry out a correlation between the geochemical composition of the water and the facies of the aquifer formation. The adopted approach will allow deciphering the hydro-chemical relationships between the different levels of the two aquifer systems in the Wadi Mya basin. To acquire the chemical composition of water, the study method goes through a targeted sampling and physicochemical analysis of water followed by a statistical analysis as well as correlation and geochemical modelling: the interpretation of specific diagrams (Piper), correlations between chemical elements in binary graphs, and principal component analysis (PCA). The performed geochemical modelling by examining the saturation index and chemical balance of water helps to better understand the origin of mineralization, elucidate the mixing of waters originating from different aquifers, as well as highlight the relationship between deep and shallow aquifers in the Wadi Mya Basin hydrodynamic conversion. The obtained results indicate that the overall mineralization occurring within the study area is dominated by sodium chloride and calcium chloride-sulfate facies. This can be explained by the dissolution of halite, gypsum, and anhydrite evaporitic rocks, intercalated in the aquifer matrix besides the effects of the extended stay of fossil waters with low recharging and cation exchange reactions resulting from water-rock interactions. The interference recorded between the geochemical signatures of the two aquifers favors the hypothesis of interconnection between aquifers through fractures. Through the implementation of such academic research, this invaluable source of life will stay sustainable for future generations.

Authors: Ma Hongfang , Xing Na , Hou Lin , Wu Jianhua , Sha Ziyue , Wang Fujun , Ji Xiaohui , Guo Zhanjun
Published: April 2023

Background: Inflammatory cytokines are related to the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Objectives: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is associated with the occurrence and prognosis of HCC, while Dicer inhibits HCC; accordingly, we checked whether Dicer regulates HCC by modulating the IL-6 pathway. Methods: The HCC cells of SMMC-7721 transfected with Dicer overexpression (pCMV-Dicer) and control (pCMV-NC) lentivirus were divided into 3 groups: The SMMC-7721, pCMV-NC, and pCMV-Dicer groups. The assays of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were performed using cell counting, wound scratch, and transwell chamber assay. The IL-6 level was measured by flow cytometry bead-based immunoassays. All statistical analyses were analyzed using SPSS version 21 by the student t test and 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Dicer inhibited the secretion of IL-6 from HCC cells, as well as the growth of HCC related to proliferation, migration, and invasion. IL-6 incubation with pCMV-NC cells increased proliferation (from 24 hours to 72 hours; P < 0.05), migration (P = 0.008), and invasion (P = 0.85). In addition, IL-6 could reverse the inhibitory effect of Dicer on HCC cells related to proliferation (P < 0.01) and migration (P = 0.006) when incubated with pCMV-Dicer cells, whereas an IL-6 blocker of tocilizumab could enhance the Dicer-induced inhibition related to proliferation (P < 0.05), migration (P = 0.007), and invasion (P = 0.001) when incubated with pCMV-Dicer cells. Furthermore, Dicer could increase the inhibition efficiency of apatinib on HCC treatment by their cooperation in IL-6 downregulation. Conclusions: Dicer could inhibit HCC by the IL-6 pathway, which would be a potential target for HCC treatment. The Dicer inducer might be an enhancer of apatinib for HCC treatment.

The Internet is the most essential tool for communication in today's world. As a result, cyber-attacks are growing more often, and the severity of the consequences has risen as well. Distributed Denial of Service is one of the most effective and costly top five cyber attacks. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a type of cyber attack that prevents legitimate users from accessing network system resources. To minimize major damage, quick and accurate DDoS attack detection techniques are essential. To classify target classes, machine learning classification algorithms are faster and more accurate than traditional classification methods. This is a quantitative research applies Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Ada Boost, Gradient Boost, KNN, and Naive Bayes classification algorithms to detect DDoS attacks on the CIC-DDoS2019 data set, which contains eleven different DDoS attacks each containing 87 features. In addition, evaluated classifiers’ performances in terms of evaluation metrics. Experimental results show that AdaBoost and Gradient Boost algorithms give the best classification results, Logistic Regression, KNN, and Naive Bayes give good classification results, Decision Tree and Random Forest produce poor classification results.
Improving the ability of neurology departments in general hospitals to treat neuropsychiatric disorders
Authors: Li Lei , Zhang Lixin
Published: April 2023

Due to the "stigma" of psychiatric diseases, most patients with psychiatric diseases prefer to be treated in general hospitals or combined Chinese and Western medicine hospitals, while patients with internal diseases are mostly seen in neurology departments. At present, there are few neurologists in general hospitals in China who are capable of treating neuropsychiatric disorders, and they do not have enough experience in treating such disorders. In this paper, we present a review of the current status of neuropsychiatric and psychiatric disorders in general hospitals and Chinese and Western medicine hospitals, and propose recommendations to strengthen the capacity of neurology departments in general hospitals to treat neuropsychiatric disorders.

Authors: Asimgil B
Published: April 2023

Old Harran house, or what remains of it, is a beehive houses existing on the Harran/Shanlıurfa. Its old vernacular houses were designed and constructed in order to be sustainable and to subsist through hundreds of years. Each family constructed mud house to its name and call it beehive house. The beehive houses are an evidence of vernacular architecture and rural urbanization. But in the near time, the indigenous inhabitants of Old Harran were relocated to Halfeti region. In the new Harran settlements, the houses did not meet the expectations of indigenous people about the sustainable architecture and social sustainability. This paper aims to demonstrate the particularity of Old Harran, especially when it comes to vernacular architectural sustainability. The hypothesis of this paper is that a vernacularly conceived urban space, like Old Harran, it can take lessons from in a way the principles of sustainable architecture/urbanism. It also conducts a comprehensive survey concerning the architectural /urban advantages of each one of houses.

Introducción: El dolor musculoesquelético (ME) es un motivo de consulta común en la infancia originado en su mayoría por causas banales. Entre las causas me­nos frecuentes encontramos las patologías reumatológicas y neoplásicas. Se pre­sentan tres casos clínicos que debutaron con artritis o artralgia en los cuales el diagnóstico final fue neoplásico. Casos clínicos: el primer caso fue una Leucemia Linfoblástica Aguda (LLA) de alto riesgo, el segundo caso fue un sarcoma de Ewing y el tercer caso fue una LLA común. Dos de los casos tuvieron evolución desfa­vorable con fallecimiento. Revisión de la literatura: Se describen hallazgos que deben hacer sospechar una causa neoplásica tales como el dolor ME despropor­cionado, alteraciones en el hemograma, velocidad de eritrosedimentación globu­lar y lactato deshidrogenasa elevados, y radiografía con alteraciones sugerentes. Conclusiones: Frente a un dolor ME en el niño se debe tener presente las causas neoplásicas a pesar de su baja frecuencia dado su mal pronóstico.

This study aims to determine the conception of digital culture among young citizens. Digital culture is a citizen's ability to read, analyze, familiarize, examine, and form national insights, Pancasila values, ​​and diversity in social life. Indicators of this digital culture include understanding national culture (Pancasila and Bhineka Tunggal Ika), understanding the use of information and communication technology in culture, understanding how to love domestic products as part of defending the country, and having digital rights in which there is freedom and responsibility. This research departs from citizen communication patterns that have begun to transform into digital forms. This pattern has various impacts, both positive and negative. This pattern is then studied in the concept of digital citizenship. Digital citizenship requires moral principles to work effectively in a global society that is networked, multicultural across time and geographical areas. Citizenship requires balancing personal empowerment and responsibility with the well-being of society. The good of the individual and the good of society must be in balance. This research uses a type of quantitative approach with descriptive methods. This descriptive method is used to describe or analyze a research result but is not used to make broader conclusions. Respondents to this study were young citizens at the Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty of IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon who attended digital literacy outreach and filled out a questionnaire, totaling 105 respondents. Then the results of the research found that 25% really understood, and 48% understood. The percentage shows that students already understand digital culture well as young citizens.
The Impact of Customs Electronic Payments on Import Facilitation in Bangladesh
Authors:   Second Secretary, Customs: International Trade and Agreement National Board of Revenue, Mahmud Md. Tarek
Published: April 2023

The rapid increase of international trade evolves the necessities of trade facilitation. In international trade, delay or additional time consumption is often interpreted as the cost of trade which is a hindrance to trade facilitation. To minimise the hindrances of trade facilitation many initiatives have been introduced by different Customs Administrative Authorities across the globe. Customs electronic payment is one of those key initiatives to reduce customs clearance time and facilitate trade. This is also considered as one of the international best practices which can influence trade facilitation from various aspects e.g., reducing time and costs, increasing trade volume, ensuring transaction security, etc. This paper examines the impact of electronic payments on trade facilitation in Bangladesh by using the difference-in-differences estimator to analyse changes in the duration of payment and trade volume both in quantity and value based on the ASYCUDA World data from 2014 to 2020. The results show that there is a significant reduction of payment duration due to the use of customs electronic payments over traditional payments. On the other hand, I found that the trade volume in value for electronic payments user firms appears to increase, whereas the trade volume in quantity decreases. This suggests that the government of Bangladesh can consider initiatives to attract the importer or agents to use the electronic payments for the reduction of clearance time to facilitate trade.
