Beerse-Beekakkers AdAK Samenvatting Op 10 mei 2007 werd door de Archeologische Dienst Antwerpse Kempen (AdAK) in samenwerking Hermans BVBA een archeologische begeleiding van de aanleg van de wegkoffers uitgevoerd binnen de verkaveling Beekakkers aan de Beekakkerstraat te Beerse. Tijdens het onderzoek werd de ontgraving van de centraal gelegen wegkoffer opgevolgd alsook de sanering van de achterliggende gebieden, waarbij in totaal ca. 1500 m2 werd onderzocht. Tijdens het onderzoek werden geen archeologisch relevante sporen vastgesteld. Opmerkelijk was ook dat natuurlijke sporen grotendeels ontbraken. Doordat het plangebied tot voor kort in gebruik was als kwekerij voor buxusplanten, waren in de onaangeroerde bodem groene en oranje verkleuringen af te lezen, die vermoedelijk te maken hebben met de het gebruik van meststoffen en insecticiden. In het bodemprofiel was ook af te lezen dat een groot gedeelte van het terrein was afgegraven en omgezet bij de inrichting van het plantenbedrijf, zoals ook door de eigenaar was aangegeven.

  • Book Review Paul Janssen
    BOOK REVIEW PAUL JANSSEN: PIONEER IN PHARMA & IN CHINA By Geerdt Magiels, Dundee: Dundee University Press, 2008, 258 pp. (incl. appendices and bibliography), £15.00, ISBN 978-1-84586-53-0 The history of Janssen Pharmaceutica and its evolvement in China is central to this homage to Paul Janssen, who set up the company in 1953; led it through a merger with Johnson & Johnson in 1961; built up relations with China from the 1960s onwards; and left clear footprints on its research agenda and company management style. The book owes its existence to Paul Janssen, who commissioned it to the author Geerdt Magiels. However, Janssen died shortly after their first meeting in 2003. The book aims to make known the scientific, business and human achievements of Paul Janssen. As such, there are scatterings of descriptions of major events in Janssen’s life; group photographs of important occasions and celebrations; and advice and adages on how to collaborate (for example, to have an open mind; to be creative; to allow local people to run the business; to work through friendship and compromise; to have patience; and to show mutual respect). The book gives corporate meaning to a global audience of the role of large pharmaceutical companies in developing countries. A role that involves the efforts made by such companies to advertise themselves as a bridge between rich and poor; their motivation by concerns for global health; and contributors to the well-being and development of people in developing countries. As a eulogy, this book can hardly be expected to meet academic standards.
