The location of the industrial project is one of the most importantrequirements for the success of policies to combat pollution arisingfrom the activities polluting the environment for industrial projects.Therefore، environmental legislation is keen to surround the environmentwith additional protection related to the location of the industrialproject and its distance from water sources، public roads and urbangatherings of cities. In the Iraqi legal system، we find that instructionsNo. 3 of 2011 stipulates several controls for the establishment and approvalof industrial projects، as the Environmental Protection Counciland the Ministry of Environment have the authority to approve or notlicense the establishment of the industrial project in the event that itis proven that it does not possess the requirements of environmentalprotection، and these conditions are mainly related to the location ofthe industrial project from cities، water sources and public roads As thedistance from the city increases as a condition for the establishment ofthe industrial project، the greater its environmental risk. For example،the instructions stipulate that the location of the industrial project forthe petrochemical and oil industries، as well as the sanitary landfillsites، should be at least 15 kilometers from the municipal boundaries.While the required distance is reduced to one kilometer for some industriesof not high risk، such as the bottled water industries and textileindustries، to only one kilometer، and many developed countriesin the modern industrial fields، as a result of the conditions of globalclimate change، tend to generalize the experience of non-environmentallyfriendly industries. contaminated

The interplay between CriticalDiscourse Analysis (CDA)and Translation is multifacetedand can be approached fromsuch perspectives as power relations,norms and constraints,manipulation and mediation,and positionality of translators.To investigate such points, thecurrent study aims at identifyingthe impact of the folkloricstatements, viz., bumper stickers,on drivers, pedestrians, trafficpolicemen, and shop assistants.Unfamiliarity with suchcriticizing sayings overburdenstranslators due to linguistic,intertextual, cultural, and symbolicreferences. It is hypothesizedthat the bumper stickersare encapsulated with humorousstatements to mitigate theireffects. To verify this hypothesis,ten Arabic bumper stickersare collected1 and distributedto three Ph.D. students at theDept. of Translation, Collegeof Arts, University of Mosul(2022/2023) to translate theminto English. The data are analyzedqualitatively and criticallyaccording to Fairclough’s(1992) CDA Model, and Baker& Saldanha’s (2009) TranslationModel to unveil the impactof language abuse on transla- tors. The study concludes thatpower relations, symbolic andintertextual references, andgender are problematic.

The purpose of this study isto improve the identificationof phishing attempts by using a complete method thatintegrates clustering pre-processing with efficient RandomForest training techniques.Applying clustering algorithmsto a well selected phishingdataset enables the identification of patterns and the refinement of features, resultingin enhanced accuracy in detecting phishing attempts. Theresearch concurrently investigates methods to decrease thetraining duration of RandomForest, such as modifying thequantity of weak learners, using sampling approaches, andexamining different fusing procedures. The study endeavorsto achieve a harmonious equilibrium between precision andeffectiveness via a process ofrepeated refinement. The results enhance the area of cybersecurity by providing valuable insights into the effectiveuse of clustering and RandomForest training to mitigatephishing threats with greaterresilience.
