Experimental and theoretical evidence for a hydrogen stabilized c 2x2 reconstruction of the P rich InP 001 surface
The formation of hydrogen bonds was investigated on the P rich InP 001 surface employing attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, and total energy density functional theory calculations. Strong evidence was found for a c 2 2 2P 3H reconstruction with a higher hydrogen coverage than is characteristic for the metal organic chemical vapor deposition prepared hydrogen stabilized 2 2 2D 2H surface. The new surface reconstruction was formed upon exposure to atomic hydrogen. Complete transformation of all the metastable atomic configurations to form the new surface reconstruction was not achieved, since prior to this the surface began to deteriorate. The latter effect was monitored as the formation of In H bonds. Two observations, i.e., nearly complete screening of the infrared peaks for excitation with p polarized light and a pronounced redshift of P H peaks with increasing hydrogen coverage were attributed to dipole dipole interaction between the vibrating adsorbate

'Feel the Feeling': Psychological practitioners' experience of acceptance and commitment therapy well-being training in the workplace.
This empirical study investigates psychological practitioners' experience of worksite training in acceptance and commitment therapy using an interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants, and three themes emerged from the interpretative phenomenological analysis data analysis: influence of previous experiences, self and others and impact and application. The significance of the experiential nature of the acceptance and commitment therapy training is explored as well as the dual aspects of developing participants' self-care while also considering their own clinical practice. Consistencies and inconsistencies across acceptance and commitment therapy processes are considered as well as clinical implications, study limitations and future research suggestions

Overcoming the fear: an autoethnographic narrative of running with epilepsy
Through a phenomenological approach, this article explores the identity conflict that arose within a female runner after diagnosis with epilepsy. Utilising a three month autoethnography to track her experiences of returning to running, the first author narrates the effect of epilepsy on her identity formation. Providing a voice that is absent from a research area dominated by statistics, the reader is asked to involve him/herself in the world of this athlete and in turn embrace the use of narratives as a valuable coping mechanism for those with chronic disorders
Exploring the psychological rewards of a familiar semirural landscape: connecting to local nature through a mindful approach
This study analyses a 53,000 word diary of a year engaging with nature through over 200 trips to a semi-rural landscape. Thematic analysis revealed two themes; the transition from observer to nature connectedness and the ways in which the natural environment was experienced once a connection was made. These themes are discussed in relation to theories that seek to explain the positive effect of nature and nature connectedness. The findings are important as they suggest that repeated engagement with local semi-rural countryside can lead to a mindful approach and psychological rewards that do not require travel into the wilderness. The work informs further research into outcomes and processes of nature based interventions such as: trip frequency, duration and diary keeping
