P ASSACE -1
Emile Dwkheim, the first person to be formally
recognised as a sociologist and the most scientific of
1he pioneers, conducted a study that stands as a
research model for sociologists today. His
investigation of suicide was, in met, the first
sociological study to use statistics. In Suicide (1964,
origirally published in 1897) Durkheim documented
his contention that some aspects of human behaviour
- even something as aUegeclly individualistic as
suicide - can be e&Jiained ｷｩｴｨｯｵ ｾ ｲ･＠ reo • to
individuals.
Like all ofDurkheim's ｾｾ＠ e must he
viewed within the comel!1 of Ｕ ｴ Ｎｾｾ ｮＬ ｾ＠ r social
integration. Durkheim ｜｜ｓ ｾ ｴ･＠ t •ee it'Aucide rates

which individuals are socially ved (integratedand

, p j suicide is more likely to occur when
cial ｾ Ｍ｡ｴｩｯｮ＠ is too strong. The ritual suicide of
u widows on their husbands' funeral pyres is one
;pie. Military personnel, trained to lay down their
s for their country, provide another illuslration.
Durkheim's third type of suicide - anomie
suicide - increases when the social regulation of
individuals is disrupted. For ｾｬ･Ｌ＠ sukide rates
increase during econotric depression. People who
suddenly find lhemselves without a job or witho1
hope of finding one are more prone to kill lhemselves.
Suicide may also increase during periods ofprosperity.
People mayloosentheir social ties by tailing newjobs,
movingto new communities, or finding newmates.
Using data from the government population
reports of several countries (much of it from the

It is important to realise that Durkheim' s
primary interest was not in 1he empirical (observable)
indicators he used such as suicide tales among military
personnel, married people, and so forth. Rather,
Durkheim used 1he following indicators to support
several ofhis contentions: (I) Social behaviour can be
eKplained by social rather than psychologcal fuctors;
(2) Suicide isaffected by 1he degree ofintegration and
regulatioo within social entities; and (3) ｾ｣･＠ society
can be studied sciemifically, socidogy is worthy of
recognition in the academic world. Durkheim was
successful onall three counts.

Management education gained new acadetnic stature
1Mthin US Universities and greater respect from
outside during the 1960's and 1970's. Some observers
at1ributed the competitive superiority of US
cotpotations to the quality of business education. In
1978, a management professor, Herbett A. Simon of
ｃ｡ｾｮ･ｾ･＠ Mellon University, won the Nobel Prize in
economics for his work in decision theoty. And the

10. popularity of business education continued to grow;
since 1960, the nwnber of master's degrees awarcled
annually has grown from under 5000 to over 50,000 in
the mid 1980's and the J..lBA has become known as
'the passportto the good life'.
By the 1980s, however, US business schools
laced critics who charged that learning had little
relevance to real business problems. Some ｾｮｴ＠ so far
as to blame business schools for the decline in US
competitiveness. Amidst the criticism, for distinct
argwnents may be discerned. The first is that business
schools must be either unnecessazy or deleterious
because Japan does so well without them Underlying
this argument is the idea that management ability
cannot be taught; one is either bom with it or much
acquire it over years ofptactical experience. A second
argwnent is that business schools are overly academic
and theoretical. They teach quantitative models that
have little application to real world problems. Third,
they ｾｶ･＠ inadequate attention to shop-floor issues, to
production processes and to management resources.
Finally, it is argued that they encoUtage undesitable
attitudes in students, suchas placing value onthe short
term and bottom line' targets, while neglecting longer
term developmental criteria. In summary, some
business executives complain thatJ..1BAs areincapable
ofhandling day to day operational decisions, unable to
commwlicate and to motivate people, and unwilling to
accept responsibility for following through on

·r ｾ ｦｵｮ､｡ｭ･ｮｴ｡ｬ＠ theories: that of quantum
eli odmmics (QCD). Among astrophysicists,
While, some theorists have suggested that in
·n circumstances quark matter could form a stable
sort of super-dense material which if its existence
could beprovenwouldliterally bethe sttangest stuffin
the universe.
The recipe for making your O'Wil quart<: soup
from scratch goes something like this. First, take some
atoms of lead. Unreel them and discard the electrons,
leaving just the nuclei. Put the nuclei into a particle
accelerator, spin up to almost the speed of light and
heat by slamming into a target made of more lead
atoms, so that they reach a temperature I 00,000 times
hotter than the centre of the sun. At this temperature,
somethingratherunusual is thought to happen.
Atom nuclei are bunclles of protons and
neutrons which, along with electrons, are the basis of
normal, modern matter. But protons and neutrons are
themselves made up of more fundamental particles
called quarks, bound togetherby'glue" particles called
(for obvious reasons) gluons. Quarks come in several
varieties: a proton, for instance, consists of two "up"
quarks and a "do'Wii' quark, while a neutron consists
of two doiM!s and an up. The theory of QCD makes
predictions about the way quarks and gluons should
behave.
Normally, the laws of subatomic physics
dictate that individual quarl<:s are never seen in the
Vlild; they always travel around in twos or threes. At
sufficiently high temperatures, however - such as
those reached ina high-energyparticle colliderprotons
andneutrons are thought to disintegrate into a soup, or

12. plasma, of individual quarks and gluons, before
cooling andrecombininginto ordinarymatter.
That is what QCD predicts. So, since 1994, an
international team of researchers at CERN, the
European laboratory for particle physics in Geneva,
has been smashing lead nuclei together and then
combing through the hail of subatomic particles that
results from these collisions to look for evidence of
quatk-gluon plasma.
This is hard, because physicists can directly
detect only particles that escape from the fireball and
reachtheirinstruments-and these particles are likely
to have undergone several transmulations in their short
lives. But by working backwards it is possible to
discern the processes that led to the formation of the
observed particles. For example, interactions between
free quarks and gluons, as opposed to ordinary matter,
should cause more of some types of exotic particle to
be produced, and fewer of other kinds. Careful
analysis of the rations of particles clrumed out in
thousands of collisions should thus determine whether
a quarkgluon plasmawas made ornot.
CERN researchers have announced that
analysis of the results of seven separate types of
collision collectively provided evidence of the
creation, for the first time, ofjust such a soup. For a
fraction ofa second they had, in otherwords, recreated
the conditions that prevailed just after the Big Bang.
Admittedly, this declaration of victory came with
several provisos. Ulrich Heinz, a theoretical physi ·
at CERN, says that more experiments at hi
