The formation of P.I. Novgorodtsev’s theory of the social ideal in the context of the creative reception of German philosophical and legal thought

The author addresses the problem of interaction between philosophical and juridical consciousness, choosing as a subject the reception of philosophical and legal ideas of Kant and Hegel by the Russian thinker of the Silver Age Pavel I. Novgorodtsev (1866–1924). It is proposed to interpret Novgorodtsev’s philosophical and legal concept as a completely independent, original system, although it has undergone a certain historical evolution, like any living organism. The article includes three building blocks. First, the peculiarities of Novgorodtsev’s interpretation of the theoretical and methodological principles of Kant and Hegel, which he made in his doctoral dissertation (1902), are clarified. Secondly, the influence of these principles on the content and problems of Novgorodtsev’s most famous work, “On the Social Ideal” (1917–1921), is considered. Thirdly, the author traces the metaphysical (Kant-Hegelian) background of Novgorodtsev’s article, which was included in the post-revolutionary collection “From the Depths” (1918). The author’s work is intended to show that it is in the plane of contact between law and philosophy that the most acute and therefore the most significant epistemological problems are found. The regular actualization of these problems and the intense scientific and theoretical work on their solution by thinkers of P. I. Novgorodtsev’s caliber, in turn, explain the unflagging interest of the academic community in works of German philosophers.

Different Maps, Same Territory: Dialogical Self Theory and its Predecessors

Dialogical Self Theory has not emerged in a historical vacuum. Its forerunners, whether the Eastern Atman, the tripartite Platonic self with its clear hierarchical relations, the Cartesian “ghost in the machine,” the Freudian ego-id hydraulic model or the Jungian topography of ego and unconscious, represent the theoretical grounding from which the dialogical self has emerged and self-articulated as much as have William James, George Herbert Mead and Mikel Bakhtin. Most of them, including DST, center on developmental models, and see the self as intrinsically oriented toward a more integrated sense of itself that Jung called “wholeness,” although their internal politics differ. Plato is an authoritarian, for whom the rational dimension must rule the spirited and the appetitive; otherwise, disorder and injustice prevail. Freud’s battle cry “where id was, ego shall be” is continually compromised by his realization that “ego is not master in its own house”; and Jung’s notion of wholeness involves a process of compensatory integration of conscious and unconscious contents of the personality that demands intensive shadow work. DST borrows from them all in one guise or another, but, in contrast with its predecessors, places its emphasis on intersubjectivity, polyphony and boundary-work, and as such is positioned for dialogical relations, not only between the I positions within its boundaries, but with the I positions of subjects who are grounded in other social, cultural and political systems. As such, the acronym DST might also stand for Democratic Self Theory, reflecting its historical emergence at a moment of rapidly increasing globalization of the information environment, and the resulting confrontation between disparate ideological traditions and forms of life that were hitherto invisible to each other. This paper represents a preliminary meditation on the infrastructure of DST within the context of the larger theoretical ground from which it emerges. It aims, not to seek exact correspondences or contradictions with other theories, but to act as a “bridging theory” between psychodynamic, constructivist, and humanist theories, thereby exploring the family resemblances that ground it, and acting to deconstruct the boundaries between it and other conceptual landscapes.

Etiological Differences in Thoracic Traumas After Earthquake

Objective: Since Türkiye has a geography located on fault lines, the possibility of an earthquake occurring in this region will always continue to exist. After an earthquake, a variety of traumas can occur. Thoracic traumas are also injuries frequently experienced in case of earthquakes. Material and Methods: At Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University Thoracic Surgery Clinic, 124 patients were examined, including pre-earthquake and post-earthquake chest trauma. The pre-earthquake group was called Group 1, and the post-earthquake group was called Group 2. Gender, age, type of trauma of the patients as well as the file records of traumas were examined. Results: The frequency of trauma increased in men compared to women. There was a significant increase in hemothorax cases. It was observed that blunt trauma etiology was again the most common cause of trauma, but the etiology of blunt trauma increased in favor of falling from a height. Conclusion: It is planned to eliminate the housing problem in time and intensive work is being carried out in the region on this issue. We believe that with the decrease in the intensity of construction work and the beginning of reverse migration, these changing differences in the etiologies of trauma after the earthquake will return to the pre-earthquake period in time.

Formation of Radical-like NH Ligand from NH3 at Ambient Conditions Mediated by Dialkyl Rare-Earth Complexes.

Although intensive work on ammonia activation has been carried out in recent decades, generating nitrogen-centered radicals from NH3 under ambient conditions remains quite challenging. In the presented research, the conversion of NH3 to radical-like NH ligand has been achieved by the reactions of a series of dialkyl rare-earth (RE) complexes (1-RE, RE = Tb, Dy, Y, Ho, Er, Yb, and Lu) supported by β-diketiminate ligands with NH3 in n-hexane at room temperature, resulting in the formations of the radical-like μ3-NH ligands containing trinuclear RE complexes (2-RE). The radical-like feature of the μ3-NH ligand was revealed by electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic measurements, radical trapping experiments, and computational spin density analysis. In addition, H2 was detected to form during the reaction of 1-RE with NH3, indicating that the radical-like μ3-NH ligand was likely to be generated via N-H bond homolysis. Moreover, the solvents and coordination pattern of β-diketiminate ligands are crucial for the formation of the radical-like μ3-NH ligand from NH3. When toluene instead of n-hexane was used in the reaction of 1-RE with NH3, an array of octaamido tetranuclear RE complexes (3-RE) was obtained. The reaction of the dialkyl yttrium complex (4-Y) bearing a modified β-diketiminate ligand, in which the two mesityl substituents are replaced by a 2,6-diisopropylphenyl group and a 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl group, with NH3 in both n-hexane and toluene only yielded a tetranuclear yttrium complex carrying the dianionic closed-shell μ3-NH ligands (5-Y).

“Always be relevant”: a phenomenological study of the actor’s workday

ABSTRACT Background Actors face a demanding entertainment industry characterised by understaffing, precarious working conditions, temporary contracts, intense work pressure, and rigorous performance expectations. These challenges create barriers in their workday and influence their health and well-being. Methods This qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with 14 actors from across Norway with diverse backgrounds and acting experiences. Results Through a reflective lifeworld research analysis, the essential phrase “to always be relevant” was identified. This essence consists of four components: understanding informal professional structures, being available for the industry, maintaining a good reputation, and always being in motion. Conclusions The mantra “always be relevant” serves actors as both a necessary guide to sustaining themselves in an insecure and unpredictable industry and as a source of detriment due to its potential to blur the boundaries between work and leisure. This blurriness is also a core to chronic stress that might promote ill health.

Psychosocial Work Factors, Job Stress, and Self-Rated Health Among Hotel Housekeepers.

Hotel housekeeping is widely recognized as a poor-quality job due to its high demands and limited resources. Hotel housekeepers (HHs) face both hard physical work and mentally demanding conditions, yet psychosocial factors in this feminized and precarious occupation remain under-researched. To address this gap, this study examines HHs' exposure to psychosocial factors at work and their impact on job stress and self-rated health. A cross-sectional survey of a random sample of 926 HHs in the Balearic Islands (Spain) assessed job stress, self-rated health, psychosocial factors (job demands and resources), and sociodemographic variables using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire II (COPSOQ-II) and the National Health Survey. Descriptive analysis and hierarchical linear regression models were applied. The prevalence of job stress was 61.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] = [57.8%, 64.1%]), while the prevalence of poor self-rated health was 59.9% (95% CI = [56.6%, 62.9%]). Hotel housekeepers were highly exposed to job demands such as intense work pace, job-specific stressors, work-life conflict, and emotional demands; highly available job resources were role clarity, task meaning, and social support. Regression models revealed work pace, work-life conflict, nationality, and weak leader support as key predictors of job stress; and work-life conflict and leadership quality as key predictors of self-rated health. Although considered an eminently physical job, psychosocial work factors play a key role in explaining HHs' job stress and self-rated health. Occupational health professionals should design workplace interventions to reduce work pace, mitigate work-life conflict, and enhance resources such as leader support, sense of community, and leadership quality.

To catch the uncatchable/to capture the intangible. Reflections on selected problems of safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Example of the Koniaków lace making skills

The 2003 UNESCO Convection for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage has given impetus to intensive work on the disappearance of cultural specificity in many countries. As a result of taking safeguarding measures taken for expressions of intangible cultural heritage, the necessity to redefine existing practices in this matter has also shown up. The text refers to reflection on selected problems of documentation and popularisation of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), with particular regard to the example of the Koniaków lace making skills. This handicraft, despite the changing reality, has been an uninterrupted manifestation of the region's tradition for more than 100 years. Local lace makers adapt their forms to new emerging needs. The educational or commercial activity concentrated around lace makes these skills an important bonding element for the local community. The lively activity of dissemination and promotion of the Koniaków lace brought an entry to UNESCO's National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017.

Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa or testicular tissue for fertility preservation

Loss of reproductive capacity due to treatments for malignant or non-malignant diseases or even as aresult of diseases themselves significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Cryopreservation of sperm from ejaculate is awell-established procedure for preserving the fertility of these patients and thus improving their quality of life in the long term. If cryopreservation of sperm from ejaculate is not possible, either because ejaculation cannot occur or no sperm can be found in the ejaculate, the preferred treatment option is (microsurgical) testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). Testicular sperm and ejaculated spermatozoa can be cryopreserved and later used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. The use of cryopreserved sperm for fertility treatment does not carry an increased risk of malformations in the offspring. If gonadotoxic therapy is necessary in pre- or early pubertal boys, the only option to preserve fertility in the long term is to cryopreserve spermatogonial stem cells from testicular tissue as part of the Androprotect© network. This is an experimental approach which has been available since 2012 acrossGermany and which is accompanied by intensive scientific work ( www.androprotect.de ).

Hierarchical equations of motion for multiple baths (HEOM-MB) and their application to Carnot cycle.

We have developed a computer code for the thermodynamic hierarchical equations of motion derived from a spin subsystem coupled to multiple Drude baths at different temperatures, which are connected to or disconnected from the subsystem as a function of time. The code can simulate the reduced dynamics of the subsystem under isothermal, isentropic, thermostatic, and entropic conditions. The extensive and intensive thermodynamic variables are calculated as physical observables, and Gibbs and Helmholtz energies are evaluated as intensive and extensive work. The energy contribution of the system-bath interaction is evaluated separately from the subsystem using the hierarchical elements of the hierarchical equations of motion. The accuracy of the calculated results for the equilibrium distribution and the two-body correlation functions is assessed by contrasting the results with those obtained from the time-convolution-less Redfield equation. It is shown that the Lindblad master equation is inappropriate for the thermodynamic description of a spin-boson system. Non-Markovian effects in thermostatic processes are investigated by sequentially turning on and off the baths at different temperatures with different switching times and system-bath coupling. In addition, the Carnot cycle is simulated under quasi-static conditions. To analyze the work performed for the subsystem in the cycle, thermodynamic work diagrams are plotted as functions of intensive and extensive variables. The C++ source codes are provided as supplementary material.

The Effects of Unethical Practices on the Burnout Level of Accounting Professionals and an Implementation in Bursa Province

Burnout, which hinders individuals from performing their professions by complicating both work and social life, is also common in the accounting profession due to factors such as the large number of communication parties, intense work pace, and the mentally demanding nature of the job. Given that burnout experienced by accountants is a significant issue affecting many parties, it is essential to evaluate the factors contributing to this condition. Among these factors are unethical practices encountered in the profession. Accountants frequently face ethical dilemmas due to their responsibilities to various stakeholders. This study, designed to determine the impact of unethical practices on accountants' burnout levels, gathered insights from CPAs via surveys and analyzed them using statistical methods. The analysis revealed that accountants experience a significant decline in personal accomplishment and, to a lesser extent, emotional exhaustion, but do not become desensitized to the profession.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of optimizing the nutrition of workers with a multi-component product from plant raw materials for different durations of intense mental work

Healthy nutrition affects mental well-being and is important for increasing stress resistance. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of optimizing the nutrition of workers with a multi-component product made from plant materials for different durations of intense mental work. Physiological and hygienic testing was conducted on the psychodiagnostic complex «Multipsychometer» of men engaged in mental work, divided into two groups: duration up to 10 (No. 1) and more (No. 2) years. Their working conditions were assessed. Persons of the main (nn = 13 and 17) groups took a natural product made from plant materials, comparison groups (nn = 13 and 17) ate as usual. In the initial state and on the 22nd day, professionally important qualities were assessed according to G. Isaac and Spielberg. Labor had a negative impact on the psychological state: in those employed for up to 10 years, changes were determined by self-assessment of wellbeing and mental activity; in those employed for more than 10 years, 41.2 % had unsatisfactory well-being and mental activity, 35.3 % had decreased motivation, and 11.8 % had high situational anxiety. The impact of labor was confirmed by the results of repeated testing in comparison groups No. 1 and No. 2: in the first, well-being and physical activity worsened, while in the second, situational anxiety increased. Optimization of the diet with a multicomponent product showed a statistically significant difference in the «well-being» and «motivation» indicators in the group of individuals with up to 10 years of work experience; according to individual indicators, there was an increase in self-assessment: «well-being is satisfactory,» physical activity is «above average,» and mental activity is «average.» In the group with longer work experience, statistically significant improvement in well-being and physical activity was established; according to individual data — improvement in well-being, physical activity, increased stress resistance. Optimization of nutrition allows to reduce the risk of the influence of working conditions on the intensity of the work process on the health of workers.

Creating restorative corridors - Perceptual and physiological feedback of children on the audiovisual environment in primary school corridors

The corridor space of the primary school campus is frequently used for recess and relaxation by the students, which brings stress and emotional recovery from the intense academic work. How to integrate natural restorative environment into the corridor has attracted academic and practical attention. Based on Kaplan's theory of Restorative Environment, this study combined subjective evaluation with physiological feedback to explore the primary school children's perception and evaluation of corridor space, and proposed the effects of different audio-visual indicators. Based on a questionnaire survey of children's activities and restoration in two schools, the paper found the association between perceived restoration and high interaction behavior in the corridor, including floriculture and interacting with hands-on devices. The richness of amenities and colors in the corridor space had the highest correlation with children's restorative ratings, followed by interface openness and sky visibility. Natural soundscapes also had a strong correlation with children's auditory restorability. Subsequent virtual audition experiments validated above findings, suggesting the benefits of increased greenery, sky and natural sounds in reducing children's stress.

Work stress and competency among radiology residents: the mediating effect of resilience.

Competency of health professionals stands as a fundamental element in ensuring the quality of care. Notably, work stress and resilience are found to be associated with competency of health professionals. However, the role of resilience between work stress and competency remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate competency, work stress and resilience of radiology residents, and to examine the mediating effect of resilience. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3,666 radiology residents from 31 provinces of China in 2021. The diagnostic radiology milestones were used to measure the competency. Results of work stress and resilience were derived from self-reports and assessment of the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) respectively. To examine the association between work stress, resilience, and competency, Spearman correlation analysis and hierarchical linear regression were employed. The mediating effect of resilience was tested by bootstrapping analysis. Descriptive statistics show that the average score (mean ± SD) of work stress, competency and resilience among radiology residents were 1.55 ± 1.53 (range from 0 to 6), 28.14 ± 13 (range from 0 to 81) and 5.97 ± 1.92 (range from 0 to 8), respectively. Work stress was negatively associated with competency (β = -0.51, p < 0.001) and resilience (-0.57, p < 0.001). In particular, resilience mediated the relationship between work stress and competence, and the total mediating effect was -0.49 (= - 0.57 * 0.86), accounting for 49.06% of the total effect. Work stress is a significant contributor to competence among radiology residents. Resilience significantly mediated the association. This study highlights incorporating resilience training courses into the standardized residency training program to reduce intensive work stress and promote competency of radiology residents.

Влияние ополаскивателей полости рта на стабильность цвета эстетических реставраций

Over the past decades, intensive work has been carried out to expand the possibilities of aesthetic dentistry; the range of demands from patients has also increased. One of the main conditions for the long service life of filling material is careful oral care using the full arsenal of available hygiene products. We analyzed the effect of mouth rinses with various active ingredients (fluorine, chlorhexidine digluconate, medicinal plant extracts) on the level of oral hygiene, as well as on the quality of the filling, in particular on the color of the aesthetic restoration after their use. At the end of the study, all subjects experienced a significant improvement in oral hygiene (decrease in API scores). However, a negative effect of a liquid product containing chlorhexidine digluconate (Waterdent “Chlorhexidine mouthwash with mint flavor”) on the quality of composite restorations has been established. The use of additional oral hygiene products can reduce the risk of caries, but their selection must be personalized so as not to have a negative impact on the aesthetics of composite restorations.

10Boron-film-based gas detectors at ESS

The development of detectors for the European Spallation Source is an important parallel element to the effort put into the design and construction of the neutron source and instruments. The 10Boron-film-based detector developments that started over a decade ago as basic detector concepts have now reached technical maturity after intense prototyping work and numerous testing campaigns. Several of the ESS beamlines that will soon enter the commissioning phase started welcoming the detector systems built with the 10B-film converter technology. The real-size demonstrators evolved in the last 2–3 years into a diverse suite of gas proportional counters for use in diffraction, reflectometry and small-angle scattering studies in spite of the operational complexity posed by the requirements for large-area coverage, low material budget and robustness for operation in the high-flux and high-radiation environment of ESS. The detectors are now being shipped to ESS or undergoing the last performance and calibration tests before being handed over to the instrument teams for installation in the host beamlines. A common feature of these detector systems is the very large number of readout channels that they are instrumented with in order to fulfill the demanding requirements for sensitivity, spatial resolution and count-rate capability. Across all of the detector types that will operate at ESS, the integration, testing and commissioning of the read-out technologies and software tools for data reduction, calibration and analysis are the focus of the detector and integration teams. These will yield a wealth of knowledge about their operation as well as initial results on the in-situ performance, a very important asset to ensure rapid commissioning of the detectors when neutrons from the ESS source become available. In this paper we will give an overview of the 10B-film-based detector technologies included in the ESS detector suite that are currently facing the transition from the production phase to installation and integration with the other beamline components, which comes with its own specific challenges of both organizational and technical nature.

A new species of Craterium (Myxomycetes, Physarales, Physaraceae) with a mottled peridium

A new species of Craterium, described herein as С. guttatum, was recovered in Russia, during intensive field work in the Kaluzhskiye Zaseki Nature Reserve (Kaluga Oblast’) and in the Sudogodskiy District of the Vladimir Oblast’. Morphological details of sporocarps and spores were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. The new species is characterized by a unique combination of morphological characters, such as a beaker-shaped sporotheca with a mottled peridium and a prominent line of dehiscence separating the upper part of the sporotheca in the form of a convex white lid, as well as spores densely ornamented with small warts grouped in clusters. The partial sequences of the 18S rRNA, EF1α and mtSSU genes of C. guttatum differ significantly from all Craterium species sequences available to date.

Conducting two evidence syntheses in six weeks – experiences with and evaluation of a pilot project

BackgroundEvidence synthesis organisations are trying to meet commissioners’ needs for rapid responses to their evidence synthesis commissions. In this project we piloted an intensive process, working to complete evidence syntheses within six-weeks, rather than the standard lead time of 4–6 months. Our objective was to explore how researchers experience working intensively, identify barriers and facilitators, and determine how a more intensive approach to evidence synthesis could be more systematically introduced in the future.MethodsIn a pre-planning phase, an intensive work group was established, and two commissions were selected for this pilot project. The evidence synthesis process was divided into two phases: planning and intensive. The planning phase, involved scheduling the intensive phase, exploring new digital tools, and identifying peer reviewers. The intensive phase encompassed the entire evidence synthesis process. Two review teams were formed, each with a team lead supported by a process lead and leadership contact point. Throughout the project, teams engaged in reflective meetings to evaluate and adjust processes as needed.ResultsDuring the planning phase, teams identified significant uncertainties regarding scopes, research questions, and inclusion criteria. To address this, they engaged with commissioners earlier than originally planned, clarified these aspects, and prepared protocols. Despite some minor deviations from the original plan, both reviews were completed on schedule, with one team expanding their scope due to the absence of eligible studies. Teams operated flexibly, held regular meetings, and found the process seamless due to fewer interruptions. Machine learning tools facilitated rapid study selection. The process lead role, created to guide and evaluate the project, proved beneficial, providing structure and support, although clearer role delineation with the leadership contact point could have improved efficiency.ConclusionsOverall, the intensive process fostered focus and productivity, allowing teams to manage short-term deliverables effectively. The researchers preferred working intensively with one evidence synthesis over being involved with many projects at the same time. They felt that time use was more effective, and they were able to complete the tasks in a focused way. However, there are several implications that should be considered before implementing an intensive approach in future evidence syntheses.

A Mentoring Network for Diversity in Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research

The American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) has developed a national and sustainable mentoring and mentor training network titled AADOCR Mentoring an Inclusive Network for a Diverse Workforce of the Future (AADOCR MIND the Future). This program is instrumental in fostering a diverse group of early-career investigators in dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) research. The network’s principal purpose has been to establish a robust and enduring national mentoring program centrally managed by AADOCR. The overarching goal is to develop a sustainable, nationally recognized mentoring network that enhances the career development of early-career DOC researchers from diverse backgrounds. The program aligns with the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research Strategic Plan and aims to cultivate a robust pipeline of future DOC researchers who can address critical scientific challenges. AADOCR MIND the Future guides mentors and mentees in individual career development as well as improving the quality of mentoring at the home institution through dissemination of lessons learned by mentors and mentees in the program. As science practices have evolved, investigators have moved from isolated individual projects to interactive multidisciplinary teams. Within this research framework, AADOCR MIND the Future offers the global infrastructure and the variety of scientists/AADOCR members. While most institutional mentoring efforts have been developed using conventional single mentor-mentee pairs, the AADOCR MIND the Future program supplements this model with additional group mentoring (mentors-mentees) and peer mentoring (interactions between just the mentees). Mentees commit to 12 mo of programming devoted to enhancing research career development through intensive hands-on work, distance-learning components, and engagement in a mentored grant-writing experience. Mentees are strongly encouraged to remain engaged with the program beyond the initial 12-mo period. Years 1 to 3 alumni (cohorts 1 to 3) mentees continue to participate in a meaningful way, and after the completion of the program, it is envisioned these alumni will become mentors for another generation.

Dislocation accumulation-induced strength-ductility synergy in TRIP-aided duplex stainless steel

In this study, we investigate the intrinsic mechanism of intensive and progressive transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effects and their different strength-ductility synergies using a resource-efficient 15Cr-2Ni duplex stainless steel. The progressive TRIP material exhibits a ductility that is more than twice that of the intensive TRIP material, as well as, a larger product of the ultimate tensile strength and ductility. This is attributed to the dislocation accumulation caused by different grain sizes of strain-induced martensite depending on the stability of the γ phase, which determines the strength and work hardening of steel. When the stability is low, the γ phase is sensitive to loaded stress and transformed into dispersed fine martensite immediately after yielding at a high rate. It induces a sigmoid-shaped dislocation accumulation to an approximately 10-fold increase in the dislocation density at a limited strain, resulting in intensive work hardening and a large ultimate tensile strength. As the stability is adequate, the γ phase is transformed into coarse martensite laths with a high critical load stress, which is initiated from a delayed strain at an extremely low rate and steadily accelerated as the strain increases. This process induces a gradually increased dislocation accumulation to a 2–3-fold increase in the dislocation density at large strains, resulting in progressive work hardening and an excellent ductility.

Hybrid and on-site working: correlation between working modality and psychophysical health.

This study investigates the psychophysical health implications of hybrid and on-site working modalities among desk workers. It focuses on how hybrid work, integrating remote and on-site elements, influences physical activity, efficiency, and overall health. The research involved 57 desk workers, evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and accelerometers for physical activity, the Cubo Fitness Test for physical efficiency, and blood sample analyses for clinical parameters. Psychosocial traits were assessed through the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Psychological General Well-being Index, and the Job Content Questionnaire. We analyzed: 1) the correlation between physical activity, physical efficiency, and health parameters in the entire sample of desk workers (composed both by hybrid and on-site workers); 2) differences between hybrid and on-site workers; and 3) correlations between hybrid work composition (the percentage of remote working per week) and health-related parameters. Statistical analysis showed relationships between physical efficiency, amount of physical activity, and clinical health parameters in line with the literature. Moreover, hybrid workers engaged in significantly more intense physical activities outside work hours than on-site workers. In addition, hybrid working showed better results in some components of psychosocial well-being. Despite that, no significant differences were found in clinical health parameters. A correlation analysis between hybrid work composition and all considered health-related parameters highlighted that the higher the remote working, the higher the vigorous physical activity, but the worse the psychosocial status and clinical parameters. The findings suggest that a hybrid working model could effectively support the health of desk workers if adequately balanced.
