TL;DR: The initiates recommended a collaboration with the Department of Health to ensure that circumcision is performed by knowledgeable persons in appropriate surroundings i.e. a clean and warm room with adequate space.
Abstract: Male circumcision is one of the oldest traditions observed by many societies. The ritual is performed at specific periods in life with the main purpose of integrating the male child into the society according to cultural norms. Recently, especially in the Eastern Cape, many initiates have died or have had to face life with mutilated genitals following this ritual.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the Fermat-Torricelli locus problem in d-dimensional real normed spaces or Minkowski spaces, mainly for d = 2.
Abstract: We investigate the Fermat–Torricelli problem in d-dimensional real normed spaces or Minkowski spaces, mainly for d=2. Our approach is to study the Fermat–Torricelli locus in a geometric way. We present many new results, as well as give an exposition of known results that are scattered in various sources, with proofs for some of them. Together, these results can be considered to be a minitheory of the Fermat–Torricelli problem in Minkowski spaces and especially in Minkowski planes. This demonstrates that substantial results about locational problems valid for all norms can be found using a geometric approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative study of the relationship between stress management and emotional intelligence was carried out, and the correlation and regression results seem to indicate that stress management (the ability to cope with stress) is a component of emotional intelligence, while stress can be either an input or an outflow of emotions.
Abstract: Regardless of where one lives in the world, one cannot escape three defi ning forces of our time: globalisation, the information revolution and the speed of change (Cascio, 2001). To ensure continued organisational performance and to maintain the competitive advantage, organisations must therefore constantly implement changes in strategy, structure, process and culture (Higgs, 2002; Langley, 2000). Goleman (1998) proposes a solution of self-awareness as a key skill in handling stress, thereby indicating that a lack of emotional intelligence in such an unstable environment means possible failure that can impact on everyone’s future. The general aim of this research was to determine whether there is a relationship between emotional intelligence and stress management in a group of managers. This was done through a quantitative study of the relationship between stress management and emotional intelligence. These constructs were operationalised by means of a combination of scales present in the Feelings and Emotions domain of the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32i) and the Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-On EQ-i). The correlation and regression results seem to indicate that stress management (the ability to cope with stress) is a component of emotional intelligence, while stress can be either an input or an outflow of emotional intelligence or the lack thereof .

TL;DR: In this article, the anticorrosive performance of two macromolecular aromatic epoxy resins (ERs), namely, tetra glycidyl of ethylene dianiline (TGEDA) and hexaglycidyl Tris (p-ethylene dianile) phosphoric triamide (HGEDPAT) and their polymer composite reinforced with Zinc for copper corrosion in 3% NaCl using the computational and experimental analyses.

TL;DR: The environmental sustainability of acid mine drainage treatment at semi-industrial scale is examined by means of the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology and an integrated process which includes magnesite, lime, soda ash and CO2 bubbling treatment was employed to effectively treat AMD originating from a coal mine in South Africa.
