Engaging the articulators engages perception of visible speech movements
Authors: Masapollo Matthew
Published: August 2019

Purpose: This study aimed to test whether (and how) somatosensory feedback signals from the vocal tract affect concurrent unimodal visual speech perception.Method: Participants discriminated pairs of silent visual utterances of vowels under three experimental conditions: (1) normal (baseline) and while holding either (2) a bite block or (3) a lip tube in their mouths. To test the specificity of somatosensory-visual interactions during perception, we assessed discrimination of vowel contrasts optically distinguished based on either their mandibular (English /ɛ/-/æ/) or labial (English /u/-French /u/) postures. In addition, we assessed perception of each contrast using dynamically-articulating videos and static (single-frame) images of each gesture (at vowel midpoint). Results: Engaging the jaw selectively facilitated perception of the dynamic gestures optically distinct in terms of jaw height, whereas engaging the lips selectively facilitated perception of the dynamic gestures optically distinct in terms of their degree of lip compression and protrusion. Thus, participants perceived visible speech movements in relation to the configuration and shape of their own vocal tract (and possibly their ability to produce covert vowel-production-like movements). In contrast, engaging the articulators had no effect when the speaking faces did not move, suggesting that the somatosensory inputs affected perception of time-varying kinematic information rather than changes in “target” (movement end-point) mouth shapes.Conclusions: These findings suggest that orofacial somatosensory inputs associated with speech production “prime” pre-motor and somatosensory brain regions involved in the sensorimotor control of speech, thereby facilitating perception of concordant visible speech movements.
Visual word recognition: evidence for a serial bottleneck in lexical access
Authors: White Alex L. , Boynton Geoffrey M. , Palmer John
Published: August 2019

Reading is a demanding task, constrained by inherent processing capacity limits. Do those capacity limits allow for multiple words to be recognized in parallel? In a recent study, we measured semantic categorization accuracy for nouns presented in pairs. The words were replaced by post-masks after an interval that was set to each subject’s threshold, such that with focused attention they could categorize one word with ~80% accuracy. When subjects tried to divide attention between both words, their accuracy was so impaired that it supported a serial processing model: on each trial, subjects could categorize one word but had to guess about the other (White, Palmer & Boynton, 2018). In the experiments reported here, we investigated how our previous result generalizes across two tasks that require lexical access but vary in the depth of semantic processing (semantic categorization and lexical decision), and across different masking stimuli, word lengths, lexical frequencies and visual field positions. In all cases, the serial processing model was supported by two effects: (1) a sufficiently large accuracy deficit with divided compared to focused attention; and (2) a trial-by-trial stimulus processing tradeoff, meaning that the response to one word was more likely to be correct if the response to the other was incorrect. However, when the task was to detect colored letters, neither of those effects occurred, even though the post-masks limited accuracy in the same way. Altogether, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that visual processing of words is parallel but lexical access is serial.

Published: August 2019

Water is one of the natural resources that are needed by creatures on earth. And the need for clean water is increasing, so the price of water, both bottled water and the price of water from the PDAM. Therefore, it is necessary to have a design that can control water needs, such as the water level for filling the required containers, controlling the water level in the reservoir, etc. according to human needs so that no waste of water occurs. This research was conducted to design water level detection by combining hardware and software, namely ultrasonic sensors as detection, Arduino Uno microcontroller as a process, and fuzzy logic as an analysis of data delivered by ultrasonic sensors. So, this design can be utilized in various fields both industrial and home. This water level detection is designed using ultrasonic sensors as distance monitoring, servo motor, LED warning, and buzzer. Fuzzy logic is applied to the ability of a tool designed by determining the desired set point of water. Test results that have been carried out with Fuzzy Logic with 5 levels, are level 1 (0 â€“ 6 cm), level 2 (6.1 â€“ 12 cm), level 3 (12.1 cm â€“ 18 cm), level 4 (18.1 cm â€“ 24 cm), and level 5 (24.1 â€“ 30 cm).

Extreme Measures
Authors: Rubenfeld Michael
Published: August 2019

Former artistic director of SummerWorks, and current producer of CanadaHub at the Edinburgh Festival, Michael Rubenfeld interrogates the contemporary theatre ecology in Canada, arguing that international presentation, especially for challenging work, benefits Canadian artists. Rubenfeld examines different theatre festivals and formats and the importance of collaborating with producers and venues that can help Canadian artists to connect with their audiences--which may not be in Canada. He suggests that it is essential that producers take the time to understand the ideological, physiological, and spiritual aspects of particular festivals and venues so that they may program and present artists whose work will resonate within these contexts.

“Will Blackness Please Step Out and Take a Curtain Call?”: Ed Bullins’s Conceptual Theatre
Authors: Schaag Kathleen
Published: August 2019

Emphasis on the political activism of the Black Theatre Movement has obfuscated its investment in contemplation and interiority. Ed Bullins’s avant-garde dramatic texts – particularly The Theme Is Blackness (1966) and A Short Play for a Small Theater (1970) – are key to the genre I call the conceptual play and an archive I call conceptual theatre. In dialogue with Amiri Baraka and Jean Genet, Bullins built on experiments with closet drama by Marita Bonner and Jean Toomer, resisting the physical stage and the public sphere in order to reimagine blackness. My reading of Bullins’s work shifts our understanding of the Black Theatre Movement from a theatre of reality to a conceptual theatre that catalyses a politics of the imagination.

“Zum ersten Mal sah ich ein Bild”: Goethe’s Cognitive Viewing Subject as Scientist and Artist
Authors: Meyertholen Andrea
Published: August 2019

This article investigates the significance of Goethean natural science for the development of abstract modes of painting that would emerge with Wassily Kandinsky in the early twentieth century. While early abstractionists like Kandinsky unveiled their artworks with publications providing intellectual justification for an objectless art, a theoretical framework for a mode of viewing necessary for engaging with abstract art was already in existence, having been conceived by Goethe in his 1792 essay “Versuch als Vermittler von Objekt und Subjekt.” Close reading of this text reveals a primary model for a cognitive viewing subject who draws on sensory experience and cognitive faculties to assume a critically significant degree of subjectivity in aesthetic encounters. To demonstrate how the mode of viewing theorized by Goethe might operate in praxis, this article analyzes an exemplary moment of spectatorship credited for bringing about abstract art: Kandinsky’s storied first encounter with Claude Monet’s Haystacks.
Divided Berlin and Cold War Aesthetics: Mediating the Wall in Literature and Film
Authors: Miller Matthew D.
Published: August 2019

The seeming permanence of the Berlin Wall and the spaces it separated during the Cold War placed unique demands on artistic mediations of the city’s material, geopolitical, and social opposition. This article assembles a set of literary and cinematic narratives by Peter Schneider, Thomas Brasch, Helke Sander, and Christa Wolf to examine aesthetic forms as emergent responses to restrictions and enclosures west and east of the Wall. Contributing to scholarship on literature and cinema’s interaction with space in the Cold War, my comparative analyses of their works evaluate artistic strategies and narrative techniques as elements of an aesthetic of cognitive mapping. I also highlight the significance of such an aesthetic for the prospects of human beings’ orientation in the wake of the Cold War’s passage.
Effects of minor La and Ce additions on microstructure and mechanical properties of A201 alloy
Authors: Wu Chih-Ting , Bor Hui-Yun , Liu Kung-Hui , Lee Sheng-Long
Published: August 2019

This study investigates how minor La and Ce additions affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of A201 alloy. The results indicate that adding 0.2 wt.% La or Ce to A201 alloys could refine the grain size and led to a rise in the temperature of exothermic peak of Ω and θ' precipitates. In addition, the presence of La-rich phase or Ce-rich phase consumed the quantities of Cu atoms in the Al matrices during solidification. Neither of the phases could be dissolved during solution heat treatment, reducing the precipitation of Ω and θ' phases in A201 alloy after artificial aging heat treatment. The lower volume fraction of the Ω and θ' strengthening phases led to a decrease in hardness and tensile properties but an increase in ductility of the La-containing or Ce-containing A201 alloy.
RATIONALE FOR THE USE OF DOUBLE SHOULDER THREADED CONNECTIONS OF HOLLOW SUCKER RODS
Authors: Kopey V. B. , Onysko O. R. , Zhyhuts Yu. Yu.
Published: August 2019

Frequent failures of standard threaded connections of hollow sucker rods are caused by their fatigue failures, self-loosening and leakages. This is mainly caused by such design flaws as unequal load on threads, insufficient shoulder area, stress concentration in the groove, low resistance to bending and torsion loads. Using iterative design, based on parametric geometric modeling and the finite element method, the feasibility of using double shoulder threaded connections for hollow sucker rods has been proved and their design has been improved. The improved connection has two shoulders, modified grooves with an elliptical profile, correction of the first turn of the nipple thread and optimal values of interferences. Due to this, the joint has greater tightness, strength at bending, torsion and compression, higher resistance to self-loosening, more equal load on the threads and greater fatigue strength compared to the standard one. The value of the fatigue safety factor in the area of the first turn of the nipple thread is increased by 13...14, in the area of the last turn of the coupling – by 2.6...4, in the area of the nipple groove by 0…0.4. The use of an elastic element on an additional shoulder allowed increasing the tolerance of the interference on it to 0.2 mm, making it unnecessary to control dimensions before screwing. Even after damage to the elastic part and loss of tension on an additional shoulder, the connection has greater strength than the standard one. In case of rod repairs, improved nipples can be easily implemented by welding them to the rod body. There is also the possibility of implementation of double shoulder cylindrical connections without modifying the standard nipple.

Published: August 2019

Synovial chondromatosis and parameniscal cysts are well documented pathologies around the knee joint. We present an unusual presentation of synovial chondromatosis masquerading as a parameniscal cyst of the knee. The patient was an 82-year old gentleman seen in our knee clinic with painful swelling over medial aspect of the right knee, no history of injury and with symptoms of a locked knee. Clinico-radiological features were suggestive of a binary pathology of a meniscal tear and multi-locular cyst of the knee. An arthroscopic assisted open excision of the cystic lesion allowed clinical recovery with histological confirmation of benign synovial chondromatosis.
We highlight the challenges in our case with the overlap of diagnostic features of both synovial and meniscal pathology with surgical management of this patient.
Laparoscopy Assisted Distal Gastrectomy Versus Open Distal Gastrectomy for Patients with Gastric Cancer in A Middle Resources Country
Authors: Fakhry Hussein , Amin Anwar Tawfik , Ahmed Badawy M
Published: August 2019

Background:Laparoscopic surgery with a small laparotomy has several advantages over conventional open surgery, including less invasiveness, less pain, earlier recovery, and better cosmoses. The aim of this study was to compare technical feasibility and early clinical outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy in comparison with open distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a developing country.
Patients and methods :In this retrospective study, patients with distal gastric cancer were divided into two groups (a) patients underwent laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) (21 patients) and (b) open distal gastrectomy (ODG) (21 patients). For the postoperative pathologic results, the tumor-nodal-metastasis (TNM) stage, grade of tumor differentiation, distal and proximal margins, the number of harvested lymph nodes were evaluated. Staging was done according to the 7th edition of the UICC tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) classification. D1/D2 lymphadenectomy with curative R0 intention was attempted in all cases. Perioperative mortality and morbidity were assessed.
Results:The time to initiate oral intake, and postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter in the LADG group than in the ODG group (P < 0.001). The operative time in the LADG group was significantly less than that of the ODG group (P = 0.05). Blood loss and blood transfusion frequency were significantly lower (P < 0.0001) in the LADG group in comparison to ODG group.
Conclusion:Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy for distal gastric cancer could be safe and feasible technique alternative to open gastrectomy in a middle income country, with at least similar short term surgical and oncological results. However, laparoscopic gastric surgery is in need to adequate training and technical support especially in D2 lymphadenectomy.

Unbuilt and Unfinished
Authors: Carse Ashley , Kneas David
Published: August 2019

Infrastructures have proven to be useful focal points for understanding social phenomena. The projects of concern in this literature are often considered complete or, if not, their materialization is assumed to be imminent. However, many—if not most—of the engineered artifacts and systems classified as infrastructure exist in states aptly characterized as unbuilt or unfinished. Bringing together scholarship on unbuilt and unfinished infrastructures from anthropology, architecture, geography, history, and science and technology studies, this article examines the ways in which temporalities articulate as planners, builders, politicians, potential users, and opponents negotiate with a project and each another. We develop a typology of heuristics for analyzing the temporalities of the unbuilt and unfinished: shadow histories, present absences, suspended presents, nostalgic futures, and zombies. Each heuristic makes different temporal configurations visible, suggesting novel research questions and methodological approaches.
What Makes a Megaproject?
Authors: Gutierrez Grant M. , Kelly Sarah , Cousins Joshua J. , Sneddon Christopher
Published: August 2019

This article reviews how global hydropower assemblages catalyze socioecological change in the world’s rivers. As a quintessential megaproject, massive dams and the hydropower they generate have long captivated the modernist development imaginary. Yet, despite growing recognition of the socio-ecological consequences of hydropower, it has recently assumed a central role in supporting renewable energy transitions. We highlight three trends in hydropower politics that characterize global hydropower assemblages: mega-dams as markers of nation-state development; river protection by territorial alliances and social movements opposed to hydropower; and transitions from spectacular, centralized hydropower installations to the propagation of small and large hydropower within climate mitigation schemes. We offer insights on how global hydropower assemblages force examination beyond traditional categories of “mega” through more holistic and grounded analyses of significance.
Remaking Oceans Governance
Authors: Fairbanks Luke , Boucquey Noëlle , Campbell Lisa M. , Wise Sarah
Published: August 2019

Marine spatial planning (MSP) seeks to integrate traditionally disconnected oceans activities, management arrangements, and practices through a rational and comprehensive governance system. This article explores the emerging critical literature on MSP, focusing on key elements of MSP engaged by scholars: (1) planning discourse and narrative; (2) ocean economies and equity; (3) online ocean data and new digital ontologies; and (4) new and broad networks of ocean actors. The implications of these elements are then illustrated through a discussion of MSP in the United States. Critical scholars are beginning to go beyond applied or operational critiques of MSP projects to engage the underlying assumptions, practices, and relationships involved in planning. Interrogating MSP with interdisciplinary ideas drawn from critical social science disciplines, such as emerging applications of relational theory at sea, can provide insights into how MSP and other megaprojects both close and open new opportunities for social and environmental well-being.

¿Gobernanza de los residuos sólidos? Estudio de caso sobre el ejido Los Ángeles, Reserva de la Biósfera La Sepultura, Chiapas, México
Authors: Figueroa Sánchez Julio César , Cruz-Morales Juana
Published: August 2019

En México se tienen pocos estudios sobre la generación y manejo de residuos sólidos (RS) en las comunidades rurales que se encuentran dentro de las Áreas Naturales Protegidas. El propósito de este trabajo es conocer cuáles son las relaciones sociales dentro del ejido Los Ángeles, Villaflores —inmerso dentro de la Reserva de la Biósfera la Sepultura, Chiapas— en torno al manejo de los RS mediante un marco analítico de gobernanza. Se aplicaron 23 entrevistas semiestructuradas para conocer a los actores involucrados y las acciones que han implementado en los últimos ocho años. En los resultados se encontró que, de los trece actores involucrados, la clínica comunitaria es el actor local con resultados más constantes al regular el manejo de los RS a través de la participación de las mujeres beneficiarias del Programa de Inclusión Social (PROSPERA). Entre los actores locales las relaciones que tienen que ver con el manejo de los RS son casi inexistentes; no obstante, entre los actores externos se observa una mayor conexión y cooperación para lograr sus objetivos. Se concluye que no hay una gobernanza de los RS, sino relaciones jerárquicas en donde su manejo obedece a políticas y reglas de actores externos tanto gubernamentales como privados.
Ciencia, tecnología e innovación para el desarrollo sustentable de Tabasco en la era del cambio global

Published: August 2019

El objetivo del artículo es determinar el estado de las capacidades en Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (CTI) en el estado de Tabasco, tomando como punto de partida que se trata de una de las entidades más rezagadas del país. Asimismo, pretende ubicar la reflexión en el marco del cambio climático en tanto factor que obligará al gobierno y a la sociedad civil de dicha entidad a enfrentar sus impactos y a redefinir su modelo de desarrollo incorporando criterios de sustentabilidad; la CTI se presenta como un instrumento estratégico para enfrentar el desafío. La metodología utilizada en esta investigación consiste en una aproximación hacia los impactos socioambientales del modelo de desarrollo y en caracterizar el estado de las capacidades de CTI en la entidad. La investigación evidencia que el contexto de cambio global exige a Tabasco replantear su modelo de desarrollo, anclado a la extracción intensiva de hidrocarburos, hacia otro que integre criterios de sustentabilidad. Para ello, la tecnología y la innovación se ofrecen como piedra de toque para el cambio de modelo; de ahí la urgencia por fortalecer las capacidades científicas, tecnológicas y de innovación en la entidad. El artículo aporta una dimensión científico-tecnológica al problema del cambio global, poco considerada por los actores políticos y académicos en Tabasco, y sugiere un nuevo rumbo desde el conocimiento.
Researching trans people: Ethics through method
Authors: Richards Christina
Published: August 2019

Trans people are those people who are not content to remain in the gender assigned at birth. They are a group who are increasingly being researched, however the method and findings of such research are often used as a means or ‘lens’ to buttress a particular theoretical stance such as queer theory, psychoanalysis, or medical positivism. This discussion considers the ethics of continued research of this group which have been historically marginalised and are still often at the edges of the academy. In particular it examines the power implications of ‘giving a voice’ as the ethical centre of such research; alongside issues of the intelligibility of trans people being mediated by the academy, and the voice of the academic expert. It also briefly considers the inherent problems associated with reflexivity; whether through its absence or though the positioning of the reflexive researcher as inside or outside the group being researched. It then proceeds to outline some methodological means by which trans people may be engaged in research in a way in which the method, and not merely the outcome, is inherently ethical.

Sistem proteksi atau keamanan saat ini sudah menjadi kebutuhan yang sangat penting bagi mereka yang mempunyai kendaraan mobil. Ini disebabkan tingkat pencurian kendaraan bermotor di negara kita termasuk pada level yang tinggi. Data ini dapat kita peroleh baik pada berita media masa atau media elektronik. Bagi masyarakat yang sudah maju mobil adalah barang yang berharga yang sangat penting untuk melakukan aktivitas rutin sehari-hari, seolah menjadi pengganti kaki untuk mengantarkan orang tersebut ke tempat kerja atau ke tempat lainnya. Jadi kendaraan mobil ini sangat perlu di proteksi terhadap proses pencurian, oleh sebab itu perlu adanya sistem proteksi yang lebih baru untuk mengamankan mobil tersebut dari pencuri. Memang di pasaran telah tersedia alat pengaman untuk mobil diantaranya sistem alarm, atau sistem pengunci dan pembuka pintu mobil menggunakan remote control dengan sistem radio frekuensi/RF. Tetapi menurut infomasi sistem pengaman ini sudah bisa di jinakan oleh beberapa pencuri yang cerdik, sehingga tetap mobil ini berhasil di curi. Ternyata pencuri sudah terlebih dahulu mempelajari titik kelemahan dari sistem pengamanan yang sudah ada. Oleh sebab itu alangkah baiknya ada sistem pengamanan baru untuk kendaraan mobil misalnya menggunakan sistem RFID-eKTP sehingga diharapkan adateknik pengamanan lebih jauh kendaraan mobil mereka dari tangan pencuri. Selanjutnyadengan adanya sistem pengamanan kendaraan mobil dengan RFID-eKTP maka diharapkan adanya suatu proses aplikasi dari teori ke praktek dalam kehidupan di masyarakat dan diharapkan dapat bermanfaat bagi mereka yang memiliki kendaraan jenis mobil.
The Moral Foundations of Environmentalism: Care- and Fairness-Based Morality Interact With Political Liberalism to Predict Pro-Environmental Actions

Published: August 2019

There is robust evidence showing associations between political ideology and environmentalism such that self-identified political liberals tend to hold greater pro-environmental positions than conservatives. Drawing from research on moral foundations, we report two studies examining the extent to which political ideology and individualising foundations of care- and fairness-based morality interact to predict environmentalism. Results support the predicted moderating role of individualising foundations, with no moderating effects for the binding foundations of loyalty-, authority- and sanctity-based morality. Liberal ideology was a stronger predictor of electricity conservation with increasingly high levels of individualising morals (Study 1, N = 144), while conservative ideology was a stronger predictor of positive feelings towards the Green Party with increasingly high levels of individualising morals (Study 2, N = 233). The results indicate that individualising morals might intensify environmentalism for those who already lean towards a pro-environmental stand but also for those who lean away from a pro-environmental stand. The findings confirm the important role of both care- and fairness-based morality in addressing environmental problems.
The Effects of Neighbourhood Disorder on Life Satisfaction of Ethnic Majority and Minority Group Members: Evidence From 12 Central-Eastern European Countries

While research has shown a negative relation between neighbourhood disorder and indicators of well-being, this evidence comes predominantly from Western European countries, relies on subjective measures of disorder, and is indifferent to ethnic specificities. In this paper, we examine the relationship between neighbourhood disorder and life satisfaction across neighbourhoods in 12 Central-Eastern European countries. We use an exogenous measure of disorder, and account for the presence of respondents’ own ethnic group in the neighbourhood, as we propose that it may condition the effect of disorder on life satisfaction. Using survey data covering 18,743 residents of 897 local areas across 12 countries, we found that neighbourhood disorder was negatively related to life satisfaction for both ethnic majority and minority respondents, over and above individual and neighbourhood characteristics. This effect was, however, differently moderated by ethnic in-group share in the neighbourhood for ethnic majorities and minorities. Among ethnic majority members, disorder had a negative effect on their life satisfaction only when there were high levels of co-ethnics' presence in the neighbourhood, but not at low levels. By contrast, for minority members, the negative effect of neighbourhood disorder was significant at lower of levels of co-ethnic concentration, but not at its higher levels. These results suggest that whereas for minority groups the presence of co-ethnics buffers the negative effects of the aversive environment on well-being, for ethnic majority members it plays an opposite role. We argue that members of the dominant, majority population find having to attribute disorder to their in-group problematic, which results in lower life satisfaction.

The problem of provision infants with vitamin D is paid careful attention in modern medicine nowadays. Prevention and correction of vitamin D deficiency are the most important tasks for the pediatric community. Special attention should be paid on providing infants living in the Arctic and Subarctic regions with vitamin D where the risk of vitamin D deficiency is high due to the low insolation level and severe climate conditions. Methods: children under the age of 3 years (n = 214) of both sexes from Arkhangelsk region were examined in spring-autumn period between 2013 and 2014. Blood sample was taken for estimating 25-OH vitamin D concentration. Objective: to estimate provision of infants living in the Arkhangelsk region with vitamin D. Results: vitamin D deficiency (25-OH vitamin D blood plasma concentration lower than 30 ng/ml) is detected in 56 % of children under the age of 3, decline of vitamin D provision has been resisted with age. Conclusion: high incidence of vitamin D deficiency has been detected in young children living in Arkhangelsk region. It requires implementation of preventive programmes.

Authors: Лихоманов Алексей
Published: August 2019

Цель. Проверка адекватности разработанной экспериментально-статистической математической модели по прогнозированию значения кратности воздушно-механической пены в зависимости от геометрических параметров оросителя и определение характеристик орошения оптимального по кратности пены оросителя.

Методы. Определение характеристик орошения осуществлялось эмпирическим методом – путем проведения лабораторных и комплексных испытаний в реальных условиях.

Результаты. Опыты по определению кратности генерируемой оросителем пены показали достаточную степень сходимости результатов экспериментов с предсказанными при помощи математической модели значениями (отклонение не более 16,1 %). Экспериментально получены значения кратности генерируемой оптимальным оросителем пены в диапазоне от 11,2 до 13,6, что на 60–94 % больше, чем у используемых на данный момент оросителей розеточного типа. Для оптимального по кратности пены оросителя при проведении комплексных испытаний установлены характеристики орошения (защищаемая площадь, интенсивность и равномерность орошения). Определены дальнейшие пути повышения эффективности оросителя при пожаротушении.

Область применения исследований. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при конструировании пенных оросителей для автоматических установок пожаротушения с повышенной эффективностью работы.

Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena kebahasaan mengenai semantik prototipe pada leksem malu yang dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya pengalaman dan kognisi manusia terhadap leksem tersebut. Malu merupakan sesuatu yang bersentuhan dengan psikologi dan sosiologi. Metode penelitian ini melalui pendekatan deskriptif yang mencakup pengumpulan data, analisis data, dan penyajian hasil analisis data. Data diperoleh melalui kuesioner berjumlah 15 responden dengan menggunakan metode sampling. Selanjutnya, data dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode linguistik dan disajikan menggunakan metode formal dan informal. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga variabel untuk mendeskripsikan fitur malu, yaitu (a) merasa tidak enak hati dan menyembunyikan kebiasaan yang berbeda, (b) adanya reaksi dari orang lain, dan (c) melakukan tindakan/ekspresi sebagai efeknya. Dari ketiga variabel tersebut dapat dilihat bahwa variabel (a) menyembunyikan sesuatu merupakan variabel prototipe yang paling penting dibandingkan dengan variabel yang lain. Adapun variabel variabel (b), yaitu reaksi dari orang lain mempunyai peranan penting kedua, sedangkan variabel c), yaitu efek berupa sikap dan tindakan merupakan variable yang kurang penting dibandingkan dengan variable yang lain.
