The Experience of Burnout in Counselling Psychology Trainees: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Creators: name: Archer, Angelina
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: Counselling psychology training consists of many professional, academic and personal demands. Poor management of these demands could lead to burnout and drop out from training (Cornér et al, 2017). The current quantitative literature places emphasis on three-dimensional conceptual frameworks of burnout using measures such as the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Maslach & Jackson, 1981) and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) (Kristensen et al, 2005). The qualitative literature outlined only stressors of counselling psychology training and burnout in qualified counselling psychologists. To address a research gap in how trainees experience burnout, this study was designed to explore burnout as part of a wider context. Eight third-year trainee counselling psychologists were recruited from six universities across London. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data. Three superordinate themes emerged: A perfect storm: the demands of counselling psychology training, Treading on shaky foundations, and Impact of training on self and others. Participants described the training as an extremely demanding endeavour which led to a disconcerting loss of agency and resentment towards the process. Participants often could not gauge their own progress, and they perceived the training environment as hostile towards difficulties and failure. To disguise their feelings of self-doubt, the participants appeared to foster a form of artificial confidence to give the illusion of self-assurance. Other effects of burnout included upheaval in significant relationships, as well as physical and health-related changes. Burnout was characterised as perseverance through unaddressed difficulties, rather than inability to function. However, participants reported developing greater resilience and self-monitoring to prevent burnout occurring in the future. Recommendations include normalisation of difficulties and burnout by trainers, and development of literature and workshops for prospective trainees to fully understand the training before embarking on the process. Other areas for future research are also discussed.

description: No-scale supergravity provides a successful framework for Starobinsky-like inflation models. Two classes of models can be distinguished depending on the identification of the inflaton with the volume modulus, $T$ (C-models), or a matter-like field, $ϕ$ (WZ-models). When supersymmetry is broken, the inflationary potential may be perturbed, placing restrictions on the form and scale of the supersymmetry breaking sector. We consider both types of inflationary models in the context of high-scale supersymmetry. We further distinguish between models in which the gravitino mass is below and above the inflationary scale. We examine the mass spectra of the inflationary sector. We also consider in detail mechanisms for leptogenesis for each model when a right-handed neutrino sector, used in the seesaw mechanism to generate neutrino masses, is employed. In the case of C-models, reheating occurs via inflaton decay to two Higgs bosons. However, there is a direct decay channel to the lightest right-handed neutrino which leads to non-thermal leptogenesis. In the case of WZ-models, in order to achieve reheating, we associate the matter-like inflaton with one of the right-handed sneutrinos whose decay to the lightest right handed neutrino simultaneously reheats the Universe and generates the baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis.

“Desperately banging on the door”: High-Intensity Therapist’s Experience of Delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to Individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Thematic Analysis
Creators: name: Baird, Natasha
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown to be an effective therapeutic approach for individuals experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, significant challenges regarding client dropout from treatment have been identified within the literature. Qualitative research exploring the experiences of the clinicians delivering this form of therapy to those with OCD is lacking. This research study aimed to address this gap in the current literature base, thereby offering an opportunity for the identification of the ways in which treatment delivery may be improved in an effort to enhance client engagement. Eleven qualified high-intensity CBT therapists holding a British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) registration, working within the National Health Service (NHS) or private practice, participated in an audio-recorded semi-structured interview focusing on exploring their subjective experiences of delivering high-intensity CBT to individuals with a diagnosis of OCD. The collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. Four major themes were identified in the participants’ accounts. These themes were labelled ‘Drowning in the Complexity’; ‘Boxed In and Shut Out’; ‘Desperately Seeking Control’ and ‘Frustrated Practice’. Findings suggest that participants frequently felt a sense of being lost in therapy with clients, owing to the varying nature of the clients’ reported intrusions and compulsions in combination with the presence of other co-morbid mental health problems. Contextual constraints, particularly within the NHS environment, in addition to the occurrence of client resistance to therapeutic techniques, appeared to result in therapists attempting to regain control of the therapeutic endeavour by adopting an overly didactic and directive approach. Such a stance appeared to have an impact on the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client. The implications of the findings for future clinical practice regarding CBT for OCD are considered and the relevance of these findings to counselling psychology is explored. A critical review of the study is presented along with suggestions for future research.
Literarischer Antisemitismus bei Knut Hamsun und Henrik Pontoppidan: zwei Varianten mit unterschiedlicher Tendenz

description: Up until now, Scandinavianist criticism has barely touched the question of a specific literary function of anti-Semitic stereotypes. This paper starts with a discussion of an older but persistent critical controversy about anti-Semitic tendencies in Knut Hamsun’s work. It then focuses on two novels, Siste kapitel (1923) by Knut Hamsun and Lykke Per (1898–1904) by Henrik Pontoppidan. Both depict “the Jew” as the incarnation of capitalist modernity, however arrive at quite different conclusions. This article defends the thesis that Siste kapitel uses a well calculated play by constructing the character Fru Ruben as possibly but indeterminably Jewish. It thus has the potential to activate anti-Semitic pre-dispositions in the reader. Lykke Per on the other hand, depicts stereotypical Jews in a clearly anti-Semitic manner. However, it can be shown that these depictions are used to unveil both the narrator’s, his contemporary society’s and thus potentially also the reader’s own prejudice.

Torsion and Gravitation: A new view

description: According to the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, curvature and torsion are two equivalent ways of describing the same gravitational field. Despite equivalent, however, they act differently: whereas curvature yields a geometric description, in which the concept of gravitational force is absent, torsion acts as a true gravitational force, quite similar to the Lorentz force of electrodynamics. As a consequence, the right-hand side of a spinless-particle equation of motion (which would represent a gravitational force) is always zero in the geometric description, but not in the teleparallel case. This means essentially that the gravitational coupling prescription can be minimal only in the geometric case. Relying on this property, a new gravitational coupling prescription in the presence of curvature and torsion is proposed. It is constructed in such a way to preserve the equivalence between curvature and torsion, and its basic property is to be equivalent with the usual coupling prescription of general relativity. According to this view, no new physics is connected with torsion, which appears as a mere alternative to curvature in the description of gravitation. An application of this formulation to the equations of motion of both a spinless and a spinning particle is made

description: Rangeland management practitioners typically agree that prescribed grazing practices have a positive impact on rangeland health with positive implications for ranching productivity. The economic impact of implementing these practices, however, is insufficiently explored. This article assesses the impact of two variants of NRCS-promoted prescribed grazing programs on the profitability of four ranch types in Northern Montana. Preliminary results suggest that outcomes are highly dependent on initial ranch conditions and the level and type of financial incentives. Ranches with large tracts of deeded land and insufficient water developments stand to gain the most from adopting prescribed grazing practices.

description: We study the dynamics of a micromaser where the pumping atoms are strongly driven by a resonant classical field during their transit through the cavity mode. We derive a master equation for this strongly-driven micromaser, involving the contributions of the unitary atom-field interactions and the dissipative effects of a thermal bath. We find analytical solutions for the temporal evolution and the steady-state of this system by means of phase-space techniques, providing an unusual solvable model of an open quantum system, including pumping and decoherence. We derive closed expressions for all relevant expectation values, describing the statistics of the cavity field and the detected atomic levels. The transient regime shows the build-up of mixtures of mesoscopic fields evolving towards a superpoissonian steady-state field that, nevertheless, yields atomic correlations that exhibit stronger nonclassical features than the conventional micromaser.

description: Robust and accurate pose estimation is crucial for many applications in mobile robotics. Extending visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) with other modalities such as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) can boost robustness and accuracy. However, for a tight sensor fusion, accurate time synchronization of the sensors is often crucial. Changing exposure times, internal sensor filtering, multiple clock sources and unpredictable delays from operation system scheduling and data transfer can make sensor synchronization challenging. In this paper, we present VersaVIS, an Open Versatile Multi-Camera Visual-Inertial Sensor Suite aimed to be an efficient research platform for easy deployment, integration and extension for many mobile robotic applications. VersaVIS provides a complete, open-source hardware, firmware and software bundle to perform time synchronization of multiple cameras with an IMU featuring exposure compensation, host clock translation and independent and stereo camera triggering. The sensor suite supports a wide range of cameras and IMUs to match the requirements of the application. The synchronization accuracy of the framework is evaluated on multiple experiments achieving timing accuracy of less than 1 ms. Furthermore, the applicability and versatility of the sensor suite is demonstrated in multiple applications including visual-inertial SLAM, multi-camera applications, multimodal mapping, reconstruction and object based mapping.

description: It was shown in a previous work that the data combinations canceling laser frequency noise constitute a module - the module of syzygies. The cancellation of laser frequency noise is crucial for obtaining the requisite sensitivity for LISA. In this work we show how the sensitivity of LISA can be optimised for a monochromatic source - a compact binary - whose direction is known, by using appropriate data combinations in the module. A stationary source in the barycentric frame appears to move in the LISA frame and our strategy consists of "coherently tracking" the source by appropriately "switching" the data combinations so that they remain optimal at all times. Assuming that the polarisation of the source is not known, we average the signal over the polarisations. We find that the best statistic is the `network' statistic, in which case LISA can be construed of as two independent detectors. We compare our results with the Michelson combination, which has been used for obtaining the standard sensitivity curve for LISA, and with the observable obtained by optimally switching the three Michelson combinations. We find that for sources lying in the ecliptic plane the improvement in SNR increases from 34% at low frequencies to nearly 90% at around 20 mHz. Finally we present the signal-to-noise ratios for some known binaries in our galaxy. We also show that, if at low frequencies SNRs of both polarisations can be measured, the inclination angle of the plane of the orbit of the binary can be estimated.

OVI, NV, and CIV in the Galactic Halo: I. Velocity-Dependent Ionization Models

description: We explore theoretical models of the ionization ratios of the Li-like absorbers NV, OVI, and CIV, in the Galactic halo. These ions are believed to form in nonequilibrium processes such as shocks, evaporative interfaces, or rapidly cooling gas, all of which trace the dynamics of the interstellar medium. As a useful new diagnostic, we focus on velocity-resolved signatures of several common physical structures: (1) a cooling Galactic fountain flow that rises, cools, and recombines as it returns to the disk; (2) shocks moving toward the observer; (3) a conductive interface with the observer located in the hotter gas. This last geometry occurs with the solar system inside a hot bubble, or when one looks out through the fragmenting top shell of our local bubble blown into the halo as part of the Galactic fountain. In Paper II, these models are compared to ionization-ratio data from FUSE and Hubble Space Telescope.

description: In order to collaborate safely and efficiently, robots need to anticipate how their human partners will behave. Some of today's robots model humans as if they were also robots, and assume users are always optimal. Other robots account for human limitations, and relax this assumption so that the human is noisily rational. Both of these models make sense when the human receives deterministic rewards: i.e., gaining either $100 or $130 with certainty. But in real world scenarios, rewards are rarely deterministic. Instead, we must make choices subject to risk and uncertainty--and in these settings, humans exhibit a cognitive bias towards suboptimal behavior. For example, when deciding between gaining $100 with certainty or $130 only 80% of the time, people tend to make the risk-averse choice--even though it leads to a lower expected gain! In this paper, we adopt a well-known Risk-Aware human model from behavioral economics called Cumulative Prospect Theory and enable robots to leverage this model during human-robot interaction (HRI). In our user studies, we offer supporting evidence that the Risk-Aware model more accurately predicts suboptimal human behavior. We find that this increased modeling accuracy results in safer and more efficient human-robot collaboration. Overall, we extend existing rational human models so that collaborative robots can anticipate and plan around suboptimal human behavior during HRI.

description: The wine market of Japan has been expanding rapidly with its developing economy since 1970s . Now the Japan wine market represents a very high seller concentration and is under the control of a few of big scale wine makers. Moreover Japan wine industry has largely depended on the imported wine & raw materials and such trends is getting stronger recently under the name of cost saving and quality improvement of Japan wine. However, there are a lot of small and medium scale wine makers in Japan, which has been trying to make an original Japan Wine for a long time. In this paper, such medium scale wine makers are analyzed mainly focusing on how they acquire raw grape and market their wine.
Modeling chemo-hydrodynamic interactions of phoretic particles: a unified framework

description: Phoretic particles exploit local self-generated physico-chemical gradients to achieve self-propulsion at the micron scale. The collective dynamics of a large number of such particles is currently the focus of intense research efforts, both from a physical perspective to understand the precise mechanisms of the interactions and their respective roles, as well as from an experimental point of view to explain the observations of complex dynamics as well as formation of coherent large-scale structures. However, an exact modelling of such multi-particle problems is difficult and most efforts so far rely on the superposition of far-field approximations for each particle's signature, which are only valid asymptotically in the dilute suspension limit. A systematic and unified analytical framework based on the classical Method of Reflections (MoR) is developed here for both Laplace and Stokes' problems to obtain the higher-order interactions and the resulting velocities of multiple phoretic particles, up to any order of accuracy in the radius-to-distance ratio $\varepsilon$ of the particles. Beyond simple pairwise chemical or hydrodynamic interactions, this model allows us to account for the generic chemo-hydrodynamic couplings as well as $N$-particle interactions ($N\geq 3$). The $\varepsilon^5$-accurate interaction velocities are then explicitly obtained and the resulting implementation of this MoR model is discussed and validated quantitatively against exact solutions of a few canonical problems.

description: We present a survey of NV and OVI (and where available CIV) in the Galactic halo, using data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) along 34 sightlines. These ions are usually produced in nonequilibrium processes such as shocks, evaporative interfaces, or rapidly cooling gas, and thus trace the dynamics of the interstellar medium. Searching for global trends in integrated and velocity-resolved column density ratios, we find large variations in most measures, with some evidence for a systematic trend of higher ionization (lower NV/OVI column density ratio) at larger positive line-of-sight velocities. The slopes of log[N(NV)/N(OVI)] per unit velocity range from -0.015 to +0.005, with a mean of -0.0032+/-0.0022(r)+/-0.0014(sys) dex/(km/s). We compare this dataset with models of velocity-resolved high-ion signatures of several common physical structures. The dispersion of the ratios, OVI/NV/CIV, supports the growing belief that no single model can account for hot halo gas, and in fact some models predict much stronger trends than are observed. It is important to understand the signatures of different physical structures to interpret specific lines of sight and future global surveys.

For this purpose the self-consistent dynamical Hartree-Fock model is formulated, which takes into account the direct and exchange processes on equal footing by summing up certain classes of Feynman diagrams. The model is shown to fulfil the Goldstone theorem and to exhibit the hybridization of one-particle and collective excitations correctly. The results are applied to the gases of ^{23}Na and ^{87}Rb atoms.

We provide fits for the ten first harmonics with synthetic functions down to 10^(-4) of the maximum flux with an accuracy of 20 per cent at worst. The lines at a given particle energy are calculated from the integration of the Schott formula over the photon and the particle solid angles relative to the magnetic field direction. The method can easily be extended to a larger number of harmonics. We also derive spectral fits of thermal emission line plasmas at non-relativistic and trans-relativistic temperatures extending previous parameterisations.

description: The US agricultural system has served the nation exceedingly well so far, but the situation facing US agriculture has been changing rapidly. To meet the needs of the future, agriculture and agricultural policy has been reappraised. Decreasing farm incomes, globalization, and consumer-driven policy needs have been the major issues for the policy makers. The agriculture sector, however, has remained strong, and its contribution to the national economy is stable. Total agricultural exports in 2002 amounted to $53.3 billion, creating a $12.3 billion trade surplus. Korea's agricultural exports to the US reached around $ 213 million, comprising a variety of products. Although Korea's agricultural exports to the US has remained around $200 million for several years, there is a possibility of expansion. To expand agricultural exports, several measures are needed. Size, and most importantly, quality standards must be developed for the needs of US consumers. Government programs have to be improved in the areas of exhibition activities, technology innovation, and advertising. In addition, new products and niche items are important for US consumers. Moving towards food exports from raw material exports is especially important for creating a long-term market. Adopting a new strategy, R&D for food industry, information exchange, and relaxing import-export regulation are also important. Special preparation also must be made for the bio terrorism measures in the US.

description: The material balance approach provides a method for assessing nutrient surpluses of specific villages or regions, and hence their environmental loads. This approach makes it possible to assess the effect of agri-environmental policy measures on nutrient runoff. The objectives of this paper are to present a nutrient balance model relating to Yangpyeong County, and to discuss the problem of using it for assessing environmental pressure from agricultural production activities in order to give an overview of the agri-environmental policy programs. This paper reviews the conceptual framework for the material balance approach using the Condition-State-Plan (C-S-P) system and formulates a regionally based material balance model using the nutrient balance equation. The regional material balance model based on inflow and outflow of nutrients in Yangpyeong County is set up as an illustrative example. Also included are policy implications for activating integrated nutrient management, a multi-level approach involving all stakeholder, and suggestions for further study for increasing the accuracy of a material balance model.

Και, τέλος, στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζουμε χιουμοριστικές εκφάνσεις αυτής της αφήγησης, από την ήπια ειρωνεία μέχρι τη σάτιρα και τον αυτοσαρκασμό, σε συνάρτηση με τη στόχευση που κάθε φορά υπηρετείται και που δεν είναι άλλη από την κοινωνικοπολιτική πραγματικότητα που διαμορφώνεται στη μετεμφυλιακή ελληνική κοινωνία.
description: This M.A. dissertation examines the literary work of three second-generation post-war authors, namely Marios Chakkas, Tolis Kazantzis and Prodromos Markoglou, through the prism of the alternating ‘humour-melancholy’ motif. In the first chapter we delineate the grammatological genre which the aforementioned authors belong to, in an attempt to first, briefly provide historical context for the post-war Greek literature, and second, to employ a theoretical approach of key concepts, including memory, trauma, episodes, humour and melancholy. Afterwards, we study how an initially melancholic memory appears to be ultimately diverted in a humorous fashion. In the second chapter we explore the function of memory as a trigger of a melancholic narration that fails to overcome the traumatic experiences of the past and to reconcile with the repulsive present. Lastly, in the third chapter we investigate the humorous expressions of such narrations, ranging from mild irony to satire and self-sarcasm, within the context of the ultimate goal of these literary works: to present and criticise the contemporary socio-political situation of the post-civil-war Greek society.

description: North Korea has suffered widespread food shortages since mid 1990s. North Korea has implemented various agricultural policies to increase it food production through double-cropping, potato production, small animal raising, fish farming etc. Recently its food production has been continuously increased, however international aid is necessary to meet minimum nutritional standard. Even if international food aid is not a long-term solution to North Korean food crisis, it is a viable solution in the short-term. The ultimate resolution to its food problem is to revitalization of its general economy including agriculture. It is necessary for North Korea to normalize the relationship with the international financial institutions and the international community in order to bring in foreign investment, which will fund expansion of its economic infrastructure. Especially inter-Korean cooperation is very important for its economic development and improved foreign relationship.

description: Since the Gaia data release 2, several works were published describing a bifurcation in the observed white dwarf colour$-$magnitude diagram for $\mbox{$G_{\mathrm{BP}}$}-\mbox{$G_{\mathrm{RP}}$} > 0$. Some possible explanations in the literature include the existence of a double population with different initial mass function or two distinct populations, one formed by hydrogen$-$ and one formed by helium$-$envelope white dwarfs. We propose instead spectral evolution to explain the bifurcation. From a population synthesis approach, we find that the spectral evolution occurs for effective temperature below ${\simeq}11\,000\,\mathrm{K}$ and masses mainly between $0.64\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ and $0.74\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, which correspond to around $16$ per cent of all DA white dwarfs. We also find the Gaia white dwarf colour-magnitude diagram indicates a star formation history that decreases abruptly for objects younger than $1.4\,\mathrm{Gyr}$ and a top-heavy initial mass function for the white dwarf progenitors.

Interactions between basal dislocations and $β_1'$ precipitates in Mg-4Zn alloy: mechanisms and strengthening

description: The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interaction as well as the critical resolved shear stress were determined as a function of temperature in a Mg-4 wt. % Zn alloy by means of micropillar compression tests. It was found that the mechanical properties were independent of the micropillar size when the cross-section was $>$ 3 x 3 $μ$m$^2$. Transmission electron microscopy showed that deformation involved a mixture of dislocation bowing around the precipitates and precipitate shearing. The initial yield strength was compatible with the predictions of the Orowan model for dislocation bowing around the precipitates. Nevertheless, precipitate shearing was dominant afterwards, leading to the formation of slip bands in which the rod precipitates were transformed into globular particles, limiting the strain hardening. The importance of precipitate shearing increased with temperature and was responsible for the reduction in the mechanical properties of the alloy from 23C to 100C.

description: Institutional food procurement programmes (IFPPs) refer to initiatives that are designed to link institutional demand for food to broader development objectives. In developing countries, IFPPs are increasingly viewed as approaches that facilitate the transformation of local food systems. This publication shares lessons from the Purchase for Progress (P4P) pilot initiative of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), as well as Brazil’s National School Feeding Programme (PNAE) and the public Food Purchase Programme (PAA), with insights on the policy and institutional reforms required for developing and implementing IFPPs. In analysing the needs and constraints of buying institutions and small suppliers, the publication also provides practical guidance on tools and capacity building priorities required to build strong IFPPs. The analysis culminates in a programmatic framework to help the public sector to shape and implement IFPPs.

description: This paper focuses on firm restructuring in transition countries by suggesting mechanisms of governance change that can lead to self-reinforcing contracts. The urn-function model, by linking history, policy, and the relative governance share in a business sector, seeks to support the explanation of the stability of large-scale agriculture. Applied to agricultural restructuring, network externalizes in governance structures and increasing transnational returns resulting socialist farming may cause the stability of large-scale farm organizations during transition, even though family farming is often expected to be more efficient according to transaction costs arguments. Some empirical evidence comes from the Czech case of post-socialist transition. Finally we try to draw out the lessons for a possible transition on the Korean peninsula.

description: Australia has over time developed an entire of beef supply chains approach involving the production, processing and distribution sectors to provide consistent high quality beef to consumers both domestically and overseas. The Australian beef supply chains have proved to be effective, which in turn have contributed to the further development and success of the beef industry. The Australian experience in developing and managing its beef supply chains can be of great relevance to beef industries of other countries. This paper highlights the development and management of the Australian beef supply chains and draws implications for the future development of Korean beef industry.

description: The recombination dynamics of $^3$P oxygen atoms on cold amorphous solid water to form triplet and singlet molecular oxygen (O$_2$) is followed under conditions representative for cold clouds. It is found that both, formation of ground state ($X ^3 Σ_{g}^{-}$) O$_2$ and molecular oxygen in the two lowest singlet states ($a ^1Δ_g$ and $b ^1Σ_g^+$) is possible and that the species can stabilize. The relative proportions of the species is approximately 1:1:1. These results also agree qualitatively with a kinetic model based on simplified wavepacket simulations. As the chemical reactivity of triplet and singlet O$_2$ is different it is likely that substantial amounts of $a ^1Δ_g$ and $b ^1Σ_g^+$ oxygen influences the chemical evolution of cold clouds.

description: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 10 million deaths in 2020 [1]. According to GLOBOCAN’s 2020 report for Pakistan, 178,888 new cancer cases have been registered in Pakistan, while the number of prevalent cases is 329,547, for a total of 117,149 deaths due to cancer [2]. Research studies have shown that 20% of cancer patients die during treatment because of the side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and not because of the cancer itself [3].

This study aims using cell culture assays and in vitro drug screening methodologies to test effective chemotherapeutic drugs in order to improve cancer treatment for the local population of Pakistan. It also aims to address the current lack of low-cost and personalized treatment for cancer patients by testing chemotherapeutic drugs against patient-derived cancer cell lines in a matter of weeks instead of doctors testing them directly on patients, which takes months, along with drug side effects on the patient’s health.

description: We explore in detail the possibility of intracavity generation of continuous-variable (CV) entangled states of light beams under mode phase-locked conditions. We show that such quantum states can be generated in self-phase locked nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) based on a type-II phase-matched down-conversion combined with linear mixer of two orthogonally polarized modes of the subharmonics in a cavity. A quantum theory of this device, recently realized in the experiment, is developed for both sub-threshold and above-threshold operational regimes. We show that the system providing high level phase coherence between two generated modes, unlike to the ordinary NOPO, also exhibits different types of quantum correlations between photon numbers and phases of these modes. We quantify the CV entanglement as two-mode squeezing and show that the maximal degree of the integral two-mode squeezing(that is 50% relative to the level of vacuum fluctuations) is achieved at the pump field intensity close to the generation threshold of self-phase locked NOPO, provided that the constant of linear coupling between the two polarizations is much less than the mode detunings. The peculiarities of CV entanglement for the case of unitary, non-dissipative dynamics of the system under consideration is also cleared up.
