Fluctuation Relation for Heat
We present a fluctuation relation for heat dissipation in a nonequilibrium
system. A nonequilibrium work is known to obey the fluctuation theorem in any
time interval . A heat, which differs from a work by an energy change, is
shown to satisfy a modified fluctuation relation. Modification is brought by
correlation between a heat and an energy change during nonequilibrium processes
whose effect may not be negligible even in the limit. The
fluctuation relation is derived for overdamped Langevin equation systems, and
tested in a linear diffusion system.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figur
The legacies of state corporatism in Korea: regulatory capture in the Sewol ferry tragedy
Regarding the causes of the Sewol ferry accident that claimed 304 lives in April 2014, some scholars have blamed neoliberal reforms such as deregulation and privatization for the safety regulatory failure. Others have highlighted the role of industry influence and corruption. Our analysis shows that regulatory capture was the crucial causal factor; moreover, this capture was institutionalized from the state-corporatist arrangements of the authoritarian period rather than reflecting new arrangements under the democratic era or corruption per se. The delegation of the critical safety regulation enforcement to the shipping industry association was not introduced as a neoliberal reform but in the context of state corporatism of the Park Chung-hee regime. Democratic governments continued to protect the monopoly of the lucrative Incheon–Jeju ferry business, contrary to neoliberal logic. The legacies of state corporatism persist despite post-financial crisis reform
