In breast cancer, the most important prognostic factor is axillary lymph node metastasis. However, there is no method which can diagnose axillary lymph node metastasis preoperatively with high sensitivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and sentinel lymph ... |
The bag cells (BC) of Aplysia are a group of peptidergic neurons that respond to brief electrical stimulation by producing a prolonged afterdischarge of synchronous action potentials. We have demonstrated previously that the cyclic nucleotide, cyclic 3’:5’-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), plays a role in the genes... |

Purpose |
Adopting a customer-dominant logic perspective, the purpose of this paper is to understand how some tourists decide on unusual trips and how they associate meanings to transform their experience into an event. |
Design/methodology/approach |
This research is exploratory and involves three qualitative data collection techniques. The authors conducted individual interviews complemented by travel narratives with tourists that decided to undertake off-track travel. The third method is ethnographic and focuses on tourists participating in a singular ritualistic... |
Findings |
Several factors explained how off-track travelers associate meanings to turn their real-life experience into a successful event. These factors cover three main concepts: discovery, social link and identity. |
Practical implications |
The authors propose managerial implications for ordinary service providers in the tourism sector. Managers should attempt to provide tourists with a framework within which they can create their own events and take initiatives. They must be supportive of tourists re-enhancing their experience and making efforts to creat... |
Originality/value |
This research explains how services must be less standardized to satisfy tourists looking for immersion, exoticism and authenticity and to support their initiatives. |
