This study introduces a collection of manuscripts of Münşeʾât ve Baʿżî Vaḳâyiʿ-i Sulṭân Süleymân Ḫân that are preserved in the Austrian National Library with the signature of H.O. 50. This research aims to shed light on the history of Ottoman-Safavid relations through their direct correspondence. Furthermore, it checks the accuracy of the printed version of documents Mecmûʿa-i Münşeʾât üs-Selâṭîn (Istanbul, 1858), which are a major source of the two medieval empire of Iran and Turkey, as modifications have already been demonstrated by distinguished scholars such as Kurt Holter. The results of this study show that the aforementioned manuscripts contain 75 documents, including letters and campaign diaries. A total of 32 letters and one campaign diary are related to the relations during Ottoman ruler, Suleiman I and Ismail I and Tahmasp I of the Safavid Empire. In addition, correspondence of these two empires from Münşeʾât ve Baʿżî Vaḳâyiʿ-i Sulṭân Süleymân Ḫân can be found in Mecmûʿa-i Münşeʾât üs-Selâṭîn (Istanbul,1858).

This paper aims to evaluate whether features of the public sphere are present in the activities of Iranian Twitter users. To achieve this objective, the paper provides a synthesis of computational social sciences, network analysis, and Habermas's approach to the public sphere. The data comes from all Iranian users, including those who are actively engaged in political issues on Twitter. This method of data collection focuses on the computational aspects of the users. Added information on how they conducted networking and facilitated public opinion, which resulted in increased user interaction, would complete the data-gathering process to align with the theoretical claims. It also indicates that Twitter was a platform on which Iranian users fulfilled the requirements of the public sphere. Some of the findings indicate that there were 48,076 users connected with 25,534,713 edges, and together, they formed three communities. While one of the communities focused solely on social issues, the other two engaged in a rival political challenge. It seems that this situation exemplified the main characteristic of the public sphere, namely, the freedom to express political views and the formation of diverse communities with competing ideas.

Enterprises employ information systems to carry out their day-to-day business operations. Organizations implement business policies to enhance their competitive edge through efficient process management. This paper aims to propose a method that combines two approaches: evidence-based policymaking and process mining, to facilitate process reengineering. While numerous evidence-based approaches utilizing process mining techniques have been employed to assess process performance through measurements, these methods often focus on individual process instances. This is in contrast to Business Process Redesign (BPR) assessments, which encompass more comprehensive performance measurements, including overall process performance. This study proposes a method for analyzing process execution time, which includes Cycle time, Lead time, and Activity time. The aim is to support evidence-based policymaking in information systems through the use of process mining. Several key performance indicators (KPIs) have been defined for evidence-based management of business processes to identify process bottlenecks. The results of this paper demonstrate the application of process mining in analyzing the execution time of business processes. Using a real-world dataset, the study identified time-consuming activities and provided key performance indicators (KPIs) to guide process optimization. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of process mining in identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies within operational processes, ultimately leading to improved process performance and efficiency.
