description: To investigate the preferences of the Japanese population for government policies expected to address infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics. We performed a conjoint analysis based on survey data in December 2022 (registration number: UMIN000049665). The attributes for the conjoint analysis were policies: tests, vaccines, therapeutic drugs, behavior restrictions (e.g. self-restraint or restrictions on the gathering or travel of individuals and the hours of operation or serving of alcoholic beverages in food/beverage establishments), and entry restrictions (from abroad), and monetary attribute: an increase in the consumption tax from the current 10%, to estimate the monetary value of the policies. A logistic regression model was used for the analysis. Data were collected from 2,185 respondents. The accessibility of tests, vaccines, and therapeutic drugs was preferred regardless of the accessibility level. The value for accessibility of drugs to anyone at any medical facility was estimated at 4.80% of a consumption tax rate, equivalent to JPY 10.5 trillion, which was the highest among the policies evaluated in this study. The values for implementing behavior or entry restrictions were negative or lower than those for tests, vaccines, and drugs. Respondents chosen from an online panel were not necessarily representative of the Japanese population. Because the study was conducted in December 2022, a period during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the results may reflect the situation at that time and potentially be subject to rapid change. Among the policy options evaluated in this study, the most preferred option was easily accessible therapeutic drugs and their monetary value was substantial. Wider accessibility of tests, vaccines, and drugs was preferred over behavior and entry restrictions. We believe that the results provide information for policymaking to prepare for future infectious disease epidemics and for assessing the response to COVID-19 in Japan.
Rgbp: An R Package for Gaussian, Poisson, and Binomial Random Effects Models with Frequency Coverage Evaluations

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Rgbp is an R package that provides estimates and verifiable confidence intervals for random effects in two-level conjugate hierarchical models for overdispersed Gaussian, Poisson, and Binomial data. Rgbp models aggregate data from k independent groups summarized by observed sufficient statistics for each random effect, such as sample means, possibly with covariates. Rgbp uses approximate Bayesian machinery with unique improper priors for the hyper-parameters, which leads to good repeated sampling coverage properties for random effects. A special feature of Rgbp is an option that generates synthetic data sets to check whether the interval estimates for random effects actually meet the nominal confidence levels. Additionally, Rgbp provides inference statistics for the hyper-parameters, e.g., regression coefficients.

description: Two new tricycloalternarene-type meroterpenes, 17-O-methyltricycloalternarene D (1) and methyl nortricycloalternarate (4), and two known congeners, TCA D (2) and TCA 1b (3), were isolated from the culture of a marine red alga-epiphytic fungal strain (k21-1) of Alternaria alternata. The planar structures and relative configurations of these two new compounds were unequivocally identified by a combination of 1D/2D NMR, UV, IR, and mass spectra and by comparison with literature data, and the absolute configurations were assigned by analysis of ECD spectra. Compounds 1–4 were evaluated for growth inhibition of four marine plankton species, but they appeared weak or moderate to inhibit them.

description: We have measured the transition process from the high to low resistivity states, i.e., the reset process of resistive switching based memristors based on Ni/HfO2/Si-n+ structures, and have also developed an analytical model for their electrical characteristics. When the characteristic curves are plotted in the current-voltage (I-V) domain a high variability is observed. In spite of that, when the same curves are plotted in the charge-flux domain (Q-f), they can be described by a simple model containing only three parameters: the charge (Qrst) and the flux (frst) at the reset point, and an exponent, n, relating the charge and the flux before the reset transition. The three parameters can be easily extracted from the Q-f plots. There is a strong correlation between these three parameters, the origin of which is still under study.

Bislang ungeklärt ist, welche Vorstellungen von professioneller Kooperation im Kontext schulischer Inklusion Studierende in der ersten Ausbildungsphase besitzen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in diesem Beitrag Vorstellungen angehender Lehrkräfte von professioneller Kooperation im Rahmen schulischer Inklusion herausgearbeitet, basierend auf Daten aus dem Forschungsprojekt „Unterstützung von Lehrpersonen im Kontext inklusiver Lehr-Lernprozesse“ (UNIP). Entlang einer komparativen Sequenzanalyse von Gruppendiskussionen mit Lehramtsstudierenden werden Kooperationsverständnisse rekonstruiert. Das methodische Vorgehen basiert dabei auf der dokumentarischen Methode der Textinterpretation nach Bohnsack. Die Ergebnisse werden mit theoretischen Bezügen zu Norm und Expertise hinsichtlich einer zu entwickelnden inklusionsorientierten Lehrer_innenbildung eingeordnet und diskutiert.

description: The Omicron variant has led to a major fifth wave of COVID-19 in Hong Kong between January and May 2022. Here, we used seroprevalence to estimate the combined incidence of vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection, including subclinical infection which were not diagnosed at the acute stage. The overall seropositive rate of IgG against receptor binding domain (anti-RBD IgG) increased from 52.2% in December 2021 to 89.3% in May 2022. The level of anti-RBD IgG was lowest in the 0-9 and ≥80 year-old age groups in May 2022. The seropositive rate of antibody against ORF8, which reflects the rate of prior infection, was 23.4% in May 2022. Our data suggest that although most individuals were either vaccinated or infected after the fifth wave, children and older adults remain most vulnerable. Public health measures should target these vulnerable age groups in order to ameliorate the healthcare consequences of upcoming waves.

description: Collective cell migration is a hallmark of developmental and patho-physiological states, including wound healing and invasive cancer growth. The integrity of the expanding epithelial sheets can be influenced by extracellular cues, including cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. We show the nano-scale topography of the extracellular matrix underlying epithelial cell layers can have a strong effect on the speed and morphology of the fronts of the expanding sheet triggering epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We further demonstrate that this behavior depends on the mechano-sensitivity of the transcription regulator YAP and two new feedback cross-regulation mechanisms: through Wilms Tumor-1 and E-cadherin, loosening cell-cell contacts, and through Rho GTPase family proteins, enhancing cell migration. These YAP-dependent regulatory feedback loops result in a switch-like change in the signaling and expression of EMT-related markers, leading to a robust enhancement in invasive epithelial sheet expansion, which might lead to a poorer clinical outcome in renal and other cancers.

description: According to the Bible, Ziklag was David's base of operations prior to his rise to power before moving to Hebron, where he became the Judahite monarch (1 Sam 27, 2 Sam 2:1-3). David served as a vassal to the Philistines during his one year and four months stay at Ziklag in Philistine territory (1 Sam 27:6-7). Identifying Ziklag's modern correlate is of great importance because it will supplement the biblical portrayal of this time period, and especially the nature and location of Ziklag. Twelve sites have been proposed as Ziklag, including the latest, Khirbet al-Ra'i, an identication that was proposed by the directors of the ongoing archeological project at the site...

description: While global efforts have been made to prevent transmission of HIV, the epidemic persists. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk of infection. Despite evidence of its cost-effectiveness in other jurisdictions, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for MSM is neither approved nor reimbursed in Japan. The cost-effectiveness analysis compared the use of once daily PrEP versus no PrEP among MSM over a 30-year time horizon from a national healthcare perspective. Epidemiological estimates for each of the 47 prefectures informed the model. Costs included HIV/AIDS treatment, HIV and testing for sexually transmitted infections, monitoring tests and consults, and hospitalization costs. Analyses included health and cost outcomes, as well as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) reported as the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for all of Japan and each prefecture. Sensitivity analyses were performed. The estimated proportion of HIV infections prevented with the use of PrEP ranged from 48% to 69% across Japan, over the time horizon. Cost savings due to lower monitoring costs and general medical costs were observed. Assuming 100% coverage, for Japan overall, daily use of PrEP costs less and was more effective; daily use of PrEP was cost-effective at a willingness to pay threshold of ¥5,000,000 per QALY in 32 of the 47 prefectures. Sensitivity analyses found that the ICER was most sensitive to the cost of PrEP. Compared to no PrEP use, once daily PrEP is a cost-effective strategy in Japanese MSM, reducing the clinical and economic burden associated with HIV. HIV remains an epidemic, and men who have sex with men (MSM) are at higher risk of infection. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive treatment that can reduce someone's risk of getting infected with HIV and has been shown to provide good value for money. PrEP, however, is neither approved nor reimbursed in Japan. In order to determine the value for money in Japan, an economic model was developed to estimate the number of HIV infections and AIDS cases that could be avoided, along with whether daily use of PrEP among MSM in Japan is cost effective. Findings showed that with use of daily PrEP, the proportion of HIV infections and AIDS cases prevented was 63% and 59%, respectively, across Japan. Over a 30-year time horizon, daily use of PrEP would cost the health system less and be more effective than no use of PrEP. Daily PrEP should therefore be considered for reimbursement in MSM in Japan, given its value for money.

description: The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate a variety of investment strategies and styles which mutual funds may employ, and the performance outcomes derived from implementation of such processes. It provides information relevant to institutional investors, advisors and market participants. The key information sources used for this research are secondary data providers, the academic literature, and academic and industry professionals. The purpose of this thesis is to provide information to guide decision-makers when constructing active equity portfolios by determining evidence as to the profitability of various investment approaches in Australia, the United States and globally. Motivation for this thesis is derived from the ongoing active versus passive management debate and the fact that the mutual fund industry is substantial in terms of the value of assets under management. Furthermore, all four research essays comprised within this thesis are driven by the desire to contribute to the academic literature. In particular, this thesis comprises original research which contributes to the literature on quality investing, style timing and global equity funds. The first study “Portfolio Quality and Mutual Fund Performance” shows that US stocks and funds characterised by higher ‘quality’ provide downside protection during market downturns, although they do not generate outperformance on average. My second study “Quality Investing in an Australian Context” is an Australian application of the quality analysis, which shows that, in contrast to the US research, high quality stocks and funds outperform on average as well as during stressful market periods. In the third study, “Style Factor Timing: An Application to the Portfolio Holdings of US Fund Managers”, I show that a style timing investment strategy using forecasts based on macroeconomic data is profitable at the stock level, however not at the mutual fund-of-fund level. Finally, in the fourth study, “Global Equity Fund Performance”, a market-adjusted performance attribution shows that active global equity funds exhibit stock selection skill on average, whilst country selection ability is primarily found in emerging market regions. Furthermore, after controlling for size, book-to-market and momentum effects, the funds do not generate excess returns on average; however evidence of performance persistence is determined. Finally, some evidence that managers who are more style consistent outperform, is detected.

description: We study nonlocal bright solitons subject to external spatially nonuniform potentials. If the potential is slowly varying on the soliton scale, we derive analytical soliton solutions behaving like Newtonian particles. If the potential has the form of an attractive delta-like point defect, we identify different dynamical regimes, defined by the relative strength of the nonlocality and the point defect. In these regimes, the soliton can be trapped at the defect's location, via a nonlinear resonance with a defect mode -- which is found analytically -- reflected by or transmitted through the defect, featuring a wave behavior. Our analytical predictions are corroborated by results of direct numerical simulations.

description: We propose a possible way to realize topological superconductivity with application of laser light to superconducting cuprate thin films. Applying Floquet theory to a model of $d$-wave superconductors with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we derive an effective model and discuss its topological nature. Interplay of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling and the laser light effect induces the synthetic magnetic fields, thus making the system gapped. Then the system acquires the topologically non-trivial nature which is characterized by Chern numbers. The effective magnetic fields do not create the vortices in superconductors, and thus the proposed scheme provides a promising way to dynamically realize a topological superconductor in cuprates. We also discuss an experimental way to detect the signature.

description: Obesity is currently a public health problem worldwide. Recently, non-reducing carbohydrates, that include β(2→1) and β(2→6) linkages in their structure, have been of particular interest in the field of obesity because they are involved in lipid metabolism. Some of these are agave fructans (AF) and oligofructose (OF). In this study, we evaluated both AF and OF on oxidative stress (OS) markers in the brain of overweight mice (OM). AF and OF decreased TBARS levels and carbonyls at different levels in hippocampus (HP), frontal cortex (FC) and cerebellum (CB) of OM. The results indicated that fructans may have anti-oxidative potential and can be used as an alternative treatment for the prevention of the consequences of this pathology.
Gauge invariance and the interpretation of inter- and intraband processes in high-order harmonic generation from bulk solids

description: A theoretical model for high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in bulk solids is considered. Our approach treats laser-induced inter- and intraband currents on an equal footing. The sum of these currents is the source of the high-order harmonic radiation, and does not depend on the particular electromagnetic gauge we choose to describe the process. On the other hand, as it is shown using analytic and numerical calculations, the distinction between intra- and interband dynamics is gauge dependent, implying that the interpretation of the process of HHG using these terms requires carefulness.

description: Ein zentrales Ziel der Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ist die Stärkung des berufsbezogenen Selbstkonzepts und der Lehrerselbstwirksamkeitserwartung in der universitären Ausbildung angehender Lehrkräfte, da beide Konzepte maßgeblich zur professionellen Kompetenz beitragen (Baumert & Kunter, 2006). Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wurden an allen lehrerbildenden Hochschulen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Universität Rostock, Universität Greifswald, Hochschule für Musik und Theater, Hochschule Neubrandenburg) reflexive und adaptierte Praxisformate für Schulpraktika konzipiert, pilotiert und evaluiert. In deren Fokus stehen (a) eine enge Verknüpfung von Theorie und Unterrichtspraxis sowie (b) eine professionelle Begleitung durch Peer-/Schulmentor/-innen und Tandem-Partner/-innen und schließlich (c) die Förderung reflexiver Prozesse bei den Studierenden. Insgesamt wurden 186 Lehramtsstudierende mittels eines standardisierten Fragebogens über drei Messzeitpunkte (prä, peri, post Praxisphase) befragt, wovon 120 Studierende an den neuen Praxisformaten teilnahmen (Experimentalgruppe) und 66 Studierende ihr Schulpraktikum in den herkömmlichen Formaten – ohne professionelle Begleitung und reflexive Schwerpunkte – absolvierten (Kontrollgruppe). Die Ergebnisse der gepaarten Mittelwertvergleiche (T-Test) und der Mixed-ANOVA Analysen zeigen signifikante Unterschiede zwischen der Experimental- und Kontrollgruppe innerhalb und zwischen den Messzeitpunkten in Bezug auf das berufsbezogene Selbstkonzept und die Lehrerselbstwirksamkeitserwartung, insofern die Experimentalgruppe nach der Praxisphase ein positiveres Selbstkonzept und eine signifikant höhere Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung als die Kontrollgruppe aufweist.

Development of a model for assessment and predicting outcome in surgery for degenerative disorder of the lumbosacral spine
Creators: name: Mokhtar, Sabarul Afian
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Degenerative lumbosacral disorders involve the gradual loss of normal structure and function of the spine over time. The growth of the ageing population has led to an increase in the number of spinal surgery for degenerative lumbosacral disorder recommended when conservative treatment fails. Yet the clinical benefit of this surgery remains controversial when a significant number of patients fail to achieve the expected beneficial outcome. The overall aim of any surgical intervention in degenerative lumbosacral disorders should be to eliminate the primary pathology of the disease (e.g. loss of sagittal balance) to achieve an outcome that restores or improves patients' health-related quality of life (HRQL). In order to assess health-related quality of life, a plethora of outcome measures are employed in the speciality of spinal surgery. The ability to measure outcome of surgery and to predict which patients will have a good outcome from surgery is important for patients and the healthcare systems as a whole. The concept of maintaining or restoring spinal sagittal balance is essential in managing degenerative lumbosacral spine disorders. The focus of spinal fusion and deformity correction techniques are obtaining fusion of the diseased spinal column in the optimal balanced alignment in order to improve the long-term outcome of surgery. The spinal sagittal balance is characterized by both pelvic and spinal parameters. No single measurement can accommodate the entire spectrum of spinal curvatures. All methods available for assessing the spine in the sagittal plane have their strengths and caveats. The purpose of my PhD research is to establish that spinal surgery is a worthwhile surgical procedure in improving the health-related quality of life outcome for degenerative lumbosacral disorders by using the comparison model utilizing the generic HRQL outcome measure instrument (i.e. SF-12) to benchmark with established surgical procedures (i.e. total joint replacement surgery for osteoarthritis of the knees and hips). I also intend to develop a model for a simple and practical pre-operative assessment method utilizing the SF-12 scores as predictors of favourable outcome for patients with degenerative lumbosacral disorder undergoing spinal surgery. Another model would investigate the correlation of a simple VAS score with the lengthy and sophisticated outcome measures instruments used to monitor outcome of patients postoperatively. The final part of the thesis is to analyze the concept of sagittal balance as the biological factor in terms of its value and compensatory mechanism that affect the outcome of spinal surgery.

Our result is optimal in that, applying our recent classification for locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form in [4], we can completely classify the hypersurfaces which realize the equality case of the inequality.

description: We study the integral Galactic extinction and reddening based on the galaxy catalog of the South Galactic Cap U-band Sky Survey (SCUSS), where $u$ band galaxy number counts and $u-r$ color distribution are used to derive the Galactic extinction and reddening respectively. We compare these independent statistical measurements with the reddening map of \citet{Schlegel1998}(SFD) and find that both the extinction and reddening from the number counts and color distribution are in good agreement with the SFD results at low extinction regions ($E(B-V)^{SFD}<0.12$ mag). However, for high extinction regions ($E(B-V)^{SFD}>0.12$ mag), the SFD map overestimates the Galactic reddening systematically, which can be approximated by a linear relation $ΔE(B-V)= 0.43[E(B-V)^{SFD}-0.12$]. By combing the results of galaxy number counts and color distribution together, we find that the shape of the Galactic extinction curve is in good agreement with the standard $R_V=3.1$ extinction law of \cite{ODonnell1994}.

description: In the 1860s work performed by children was reflected the wider labour market. Children undertook paid employment in formal situations and work of a more casual nature on city streets. They also performed unpaid work at households and farmsites. Children working at the homesite contributed to home based production and service, and also, through domestic duties, to the daily reproduction of labour. Children's participation in the workforce was significant in the three main sectors of the economy. Small-scale farming, most commonly on selections, made significant use of children's labour. Selection, and its appropriation of children's labour power, continued throughout the entire period. The colony's infant industrialisation utilised cheap, child labour in its development from craft-based to more intensive, larger-scale industry. Children's labour power was usually of financial import to their households and usually allocated with regard to age and gender. In times of intensive demand or financial difficulty, the need for children's labour could lessen gender strictures. Demand for children's labour power was, at times, in conflict with the expanding liberal state, which was extending its training and supervision of future citizens through primary education. Mass education was generally accepted, although many families used schools on a casual basis so that children could alternate work and schoolwork. The 1880 Public Instruction Act pragmatically reflected common practice by making some schooling compulsory. -- By 1916 patterns of children's work participation which held for much of the twentieth century were set. Children were virtually excluded, through attitudinal and legislative change, from the paid main-stream workforce. Their effective, and permanent, removal from the urban, industrial workforce had been closely controlled. Their use as casual labour, was circumscribed by adherence to daily, all-day compulsory schooling. Children's work on city streets was limited and regulated. Their work at the home site and in the rural sector continued, now fitted around demanding schooling requirements. -- Pressure on the state, from organised labour and other concerned interests, to remove children from employment in factories and streets had intensified from the 1890s. These demands were echoed by educational authorities, who, since the beginning of the period, had called for strict adherence to their full-time ideal model of school. The state, reflecting and consolidating attitudinal change, responded in an incremental fashion with increasing regulation and control. State action included the 1916 Education Act which could enforce adherence to the ideal school model. The withdrawal of children from mainstream labour was accompanied by an increasingly widespread, accepted and entrenched ideology of protected, nurturant and dependant childhood.

description: We investigate the transient photoexcited lattice dynamics in a layered perovskite Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 by femtosecond X-ray diffraction using a laser plasma-based X-ray source. Ultrafast structural dynamics of Sr2IrO4 thin films are determined by observing the shift and broadening of the (0012) Bragg diffraction after excitation by 1.5 eV and 3.0 eV pump photons for films with different thicknesses. The observed transient lattice response can be well interpreted as a distinct three-step dynamics due to the propagation of coherent acoustic phonons generated by the photoinduced quasiparticles (QP). Employing a normalized phonon propagation model, we found that the photoinduced angular shifts of the Bragg peak collapse into a universal curve after introducing a normalized coordinates to account for different thicknesses and pump photon energies, pinpointing the origin of the lattice distortion and its early evolution. In addition, a transient photocurrent measurement indicates that the photoinduced QPs are charge neutral excitons. Mapping the phonon propagation and correlating its dynamics with the QP by ultrafast X-ray diffraction (UXRD) establish a powerful way to study electron-phonon coupling and uncover the exotic physics in strongly correlated systems under nonequilibrium conditions.

description: While global efforts have been made to prevent transmission of HIV, the epidemic persists. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk of infection. Despite evidence of its cost-effectiveness in other jurisdictions, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for MSM is neither approved nor reimbursed in Japan. The cost-effectiveness analysis compared the use of once daily PrEP versus no PrEP among MSM over a 30-year time horizon from a national healthcare perspective. Epidemiological estimates for each of the 47 prefectures informed the model. Costs included HIV/AIDS treatment, HIV and testing for sexually transmitted infections, monitoring tests and consults, and hospitalization costs. Analyses included health and cost outcomes, as well as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) reported as the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for all of Japan and each prefecture. Sensitivity analyses were performed. The estimated proportion of HIV infections prevented with the use of PrEP ranged from 48% to 69% across Japan, over the time horizon. Cost savings due to lower monitoring costs and general medical costs were observed. Assuming 100% coverage, for Japan overall, daily use of PrEP costs less and was more effective; daily use of PrEP was cost-effective at a willingness to pay threshold of ¥5,000,000 per QALY in 32 of the 47 prefectures. Sensitivity analyses found that the ICER was most sensitive to the cost of PrEP. Compared to no PrEP use, once daily PrEP is a cost-effective strategy in Japanese MSM, reducing the clinical and economic burden associated with HIV.

description: Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide variety of deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Their design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks, ranging from the correctness of software to the properties of formal systems, have been the focus of considerable research over the last three decades.
 The LFMTP workshop brought together designers, implementors and practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure and utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of variable binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and the expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.
 The 2024 instance of LFMTP was organized by Florian Rabe and Claudio Sacerdoti Coen in Tallinn, Estonia, the 8th July, as a satellite event of the FSCD conference. The workshop received 8 submissions, of which 6 were presented at the workshop. Of these, 2 were work-in-progress presentations, and 4 were accepted for these formal proceedings. Additionally, Carsten Schürmann of IT University of Copenhagen gave an invited talk on Nominal State Separating Proofs.

description: We study the tidal deformability of bare quark stars and hybrid compact stars composed of a quark matter core in general relativity, assuming that the deconfined quark matter exists in a crystalline color superconducting phase. We find that taking the elastic property of crystalline quark matter into account in the calculation of the tidal deformability can break the universal I-Love relation discovered for fluid compact stars, which connects the moment of inertia and tidal deformability. Our result suggests that measurements of the moment of inertia and tidal deformability can in principle be used to test the existence of solid quark stars, despite our ignorance of the high density equation of state (EOS). Assuming that the moment of inertia can be measured to 10% level, one can then distinguish a 1.4 (1) $M_\odot$ solid quark star described by our quark matter EOS model with a gap parameter $Δ=25$ MeV from a fluid compact star if the tidal deformability can be measured to about 10% (45%) level. On the other hand, we find that the nuclear matter fluid envelope of a hybrid star can screen out the effect of the solid core significantly so that the resulting I-Love relation for hybrid stars still agrees with the universal relation for fluid stars to about 1% level.

description: Two iron(II)-rhenium(IV) compounds of general formula [FeII(dmf)6][ReIVX6] [X = Cl (1) and Br (2); dmf = N,N-dimethylformamide] have been prepared and characterized. X-ray powder diffraction measurements on samples of 1 and 2 support the same structure for both systems. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group Pī. Each iron(II) is six-coordinate and bonded to six oxygens from six dmf molecules building a distorted octahedral environment. Rhenium(IV) is six-coordinate by six halide anions in an almost regular octahedral geometry. The magnetic properties were investigated from variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on microcrystalline samples of 1 and 2, whose experimental data were reproduced by a model of two isolated paramagnetic centers [S = 2 (FeII) and S = 3/2 (ReIV)] with large values of zero-field splitting (zfs) parameter.
