Purpose: To determine the relationship between labor contracting and the labor rights of public sector workers in Peru. Theoretical framework: The theory found allowed us to delve deeper into the topic of hiring and labor rights, but not from theory on employee perception but from specialists in legal matters, which is why in this research it was decided to take into account the perception of public sector employees. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative study was considered, under an applied type of research, with a descriptive correlational non-experimental design, so the surveys were applied to 25 public sector workers. Results: The findings revealed a bilateral sigma much lower than 0.05, allowing the null hypothesis to be rejected and the alternative hypothesis to be accepted, likewise, it is observed that the Spearman's Rho reached 0.815 between labor contracting and labor rights. In addition, the variables reached 92% in the inadequate level, of the three dimensions, the one that presents the greatest difficulties was subordination because it obtained 92% in the inadequate level, on the other hand, onerosity reached 88% in the inadequate level, followed by exclusivity which obtained 76% in the inadequate level, thus revealing that within the institution there is no internal discipline that allows workers to comply with the provisions of the superiors assigned to each office. Research, practical and social implications: It is shown that when labor contracting is carried out efficiently, considering the legal bases and respecting the established clauses, then the labor rights of workers will be protected and protected, thus revealing that within the institution there is no internal discipline that allows workers to comply with the provisions of the superiors assigned to each office, this result could be argued in the legal basis of Law 29783. Originality/value: The purpose of an employment contract is to outline the rights and responsibilities of both the employer and the employee, as both parties will sign the contract. However, employers will always look for ways to undermine their workers' protections under the law, as current labor laws leave many workers unprotected.

The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project was signed between China and Pakistan in the year 2013. This mega project connects the two countries to enhance their economic ties and give them access to international markets. The initial investment for the project was $46 billion with a tentative duration of fifteen years. Being an extensive project in terms of cost and duration, many factors and risks affect its performance. This study aims to investigate the effects of political (PR), social safety (SR), and legal risks (LR) on the project performance (PP) of the CPEC. It further investigates the significance of the host country’s attitude towards foreigners (HCA). A research framework consisting of PR, SR, and LR as independent variables, PP as the dependent variable, and HCA as moderator is formulated and tested in the current study. In this quantitative study, the Likert scale is used to measure the impact of the assessed risks. A questionnaire survey is used as a data collection tool to collect data and test the research framework and associated hypotheses. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to perform the empirical test for validation of the study, with a dataset of 99 responses. The empirical investigation finds a negative relationship between PR, SR, LR, and PP. It is concluded that PR, SR, and LR negatively influence the PP of CPEC. Furthermore, HCA negatively moderates the PR, LR, and PP of CPEC. In contrast, the value of SR and PP is positive in the presence of the positive HCA.

“…"It is clear that research on concrete durability has captured the interest of several scientists across the globe, including those in the Arabian Gulf. Without sufficient research on the effects of chloride exposure, the usage of concrete has expanded in the UAE, which is a significant longterm concern for this region" [37,38]. When employing local materials in the harsh environment of the UAE, where the building sector is growing at an unprecedented rate, the authors believe that this study is crucial for this region.…”

The passive layer shielding the steel reinforcement from corrosion can be attacked by the chloride ions that permeate through the chloride ions that permeate through the pores in the concrete when it is in solution. This paper aims to explore the investigation of chloride diffusion into concrete with joint. Three exposure conditions were taken into consideration in chloride ion diffusion experiments in order to examine the impact of exposure conditions on the chloride ion diffusion property: long-term immersion in a static sodium chloride solution, long-term immersion in a circulating sodium chloride solution, and dry–wet cycles in a circulating sodium chloride solution. According to experimental findings, the age of erosion increased the chloride ion content at a particular depth. Furthermore, concrete subjected to dry-wet cycles of the circulating sodium chloride solution had slightly higher chloride ion content than concrete immersed in the solution for an extended period of time. Fick's second law served as the foundation for the empirical equations that were developed by fitting experimental data to determine the chloride content and diffusion coefficient at the concrete's surface, as well as the correlation coefficient values for various exposure scenarios. The calculation formula's greater applicability was confirmed by comparison with the experiment results. The chloride ion content could be predicted and examined using this method for various exposure scenarios.
