Public exposure to airborne ultrasound and very high frequency sound
No full textOver the last decade, members of the public have complained of “high-pitched” sounds in public places causing adverse effects (e.g., headaches). Their reports were dismissed by colleagues, family, and friends, who could hear nothing, and by health care professionals and experts for arange of reasons, including assertions that airborne ultrasound could not affect humans because it mostly reflects off the skin and because the ultrasonic intensities in air are low. Those complaining were told that even if such sounds existed, the sounds could not be ultrasonic because“humans cannot hear above 20 kHz.” Faced with universal dismissals, in 2015, the concerned individuals consulte done of the authors, Professor Leighton. He published evidence that such tones existed (Leighton, 2016a), providedmethods for the public to detect them (Leighton, 2016a,b),identified a range of commercially available sources and others in development, outlined why the regulatory framework needed revisiting (Leighton, 2016a), and cast doubt on assertions that these high-frequency sources cannot cause adverse effects (Leighton 2017). Fletcher etal. (2018a,b) conducted human trials and interest grew around the world, including in a special issue in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Leighton, 2018).International interest in this topic further increased with claims of ultrasonic attacks on the Cuban embassy (Leighton,2018). A scheme by which the public can distinguish such tones from, say, tinnitus was provided, as illustrated in the following case study

Bringing Hidden Organizations Out of the Shadows: Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textThis introduction to the special issue describes hidden organizations, offers several reasons for the lack of research on these collectives, and explains how this collection of articles helps move us forward in efforts to empirically study hidden organizations. After providing background information on the history of this special issue, the five articles published here are described in terms of the type of collective examined, the theories and methods used, and the key research questions addressed. Three observations about the published pieces are made: being hidden requires communicative effort; hiddenness is usefully understood in terms of identity management; and any discussion of hidden organizations raises ethical considerations. The piece closes with acknowledgements and a call for continued conceptual/theoretical and empirical research into hidden organizations.This is an introduction to a special issue on Hidden Organizations edited by the author. Published online before print: July 19, 2015
