In India half of the population comprises of women but businesses owned and operated by them constitute less than 5%. This is the reflection of developing India on social, cultural as well as economic front. Women Self Help Groups in India are formed with a view to mobilize savings of poor and marginal sectors of society. This will help to eradicate poverty and strengthening of weaker sections of society. With this view Self Help Groups in Maharashtra are formed in the form of village organizations under the guidelines provided in’ Dashasutras’. Formation of self help groups is much easier process than to make them sustainable. This paper discusses about various indices which influence sustainability of self help groups. Those indices are leadership index, index of meeting, record keeping index, conflict index, goal clarity index. Each index factor is considered as index of sustainability. Using confidence interval method analysis mean of indices is calculated and conclusions are drawn.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. INDIVIDUALISM
Hofstede (1980) – focus on rights above duties, concern
for oneself and immediate family
Waterman (1984) – focus on personal responsibility and
freedom of choice
Schwartz (1990) – consist of narrow primary groups with
specific obligations
4. Self Determination Theory (SDT) – seek challenges and strive for
excellence (Dece, 2002)
Theories On Collectivism
Social Identity ( Hogg and Abrams) - a person’s knowledge that
he or she belongs to a social category or group”
Identity Theory ( Burke and Tully) - categorization of the self as an
occupant of a role, and the incorporation into the self, and the
meanings and expectations associated with that role and its
performance
Role Identity – carrying out behavior to perform the expectations
5. Oyserman (2a002) – groups bind and mutually obligate
individuals
Schwartz (1990) – characterized by diffuse and mutual
obligations and expectations based on
ascribed statuses
Triandis (1995) – oriented towards in – groups and away
from the out-groups
6. Functional Approach ( Gil and Synyder) – people are
purposeful, planful and goal-directed.
Theory of Altruism ( Bar-Tal, Karylowski) – altruistic behavior
must benefit another person, must be performed
voluntarily, must be performed intentionally.
Escape Theory ( Baumeister) - individuals indulge in
activities that may help them got away from their
lives or characters with which they are not happy.
7. Social Impact Theory ( Latane et al.)- states that the
likelihood that a person will respond to social
influence will increase with
Situated Learning Theory ( Lave and Wenger)- learning is
embedded within the activity, context and culture
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs - people need to engage
themselves to gain recognition and have an activity
that give the person a sense of contribution
8. 2. To what extent are the Sendong Volunteers motivated to function as
volunteers?
a.Values function d. Career function
b.Understanding function e. Social function
c.Enhancement function f. Protective Function
1. What is the level of individualism and collectivism experienced by the
Medical, Psychosocial and the Relief Volunteers in terms of :
a. Horizontal
b. vertical
9. 3. Is there a significance difference in the level of Individualism and
Collectivism among the Medical, Psychosocial and Relief
volunteers?
4. Is there a significant difference in the motivational function of
the Medical, Psychosocial, and the Relief Volunteers?
5. Is there a significant interaction in the personal orientation and
motivation functions of the Medical, Psychosocial and the Belief
Volunteer?
11. Individualism Medical Psychosocial Relief

14. 1. Since findings suggest that Individualistic orientations are good
predictors for volunteering in the future, this study recommends
that although volunteering implies free service, there should be
some kind of incentives for the volunteers such as proper
recognition
For Horizontal Individualists – Self – reliance is as much
needed source for those who want to volunteer since
volunteerism requires a great amount of resolve and effort.
For Vertical Collectivists – achievement is a greater
motivator for most people, institutions, and organizations
that foster volunteerism should be able to utilize rewards
15. 2. Collectivism has been found to be an important aspect of
effective volunteers. This study suggests that institutions and
organizations as well as government units that ADVOCATE
VOLUNTEERISM should conduct trainings that could enhance these
collective tendencies
3. Motivational Functions
This study found out that social pressures are important
motivation for volunteers. This study suggests that a call for
volunteerism through seminars and trainings are needed to
foster a life long commitment to service and build awareness
of civic responsibility.
16. Since it was found out that values is a very important
motivator but was given less importance by the
volunteers, it is recommended that volunteering
organizations conduct seminars and trainings about the
native of volunteerism and how it is beneficial to humanity.
Although understanding function is regarded as only
somewhat important it is regarded as second most
important motivator across literatures about volunteer
motivation. Volunteering organizations should also help out
those who are interested in volunteering by spreading
information on how to volunteer
17. The protective function is one of those motivations which is
not very much explored. This study suggest to include
debriefing seminar towards volunteer every after they finish
a mission. This is to evaluate whether volunteering has
indeed helped them or how it is worsened whatever
negative feelings they have.
