There is a lack of women represented in the construction industry. In 2022, approximately 11% of the construction workforce was female. Though this percentage has increased over time, women working in construction are still working in a “man’s world.” The purpose of this study is to show what barriers women in construction face and how to overcome them. The information from this study can be a guide for future females pursuing a degree in construction management about how they can overcome barriers and attain success.

| Paper Title | :: | Sustainability thoughts 140: How can the consequences of the 2012 green market paradigm shift avoidance move that led to the world of dwarf green markets of today be highlighted, including the green Marxism threat? |

The Brundtl and commission in 1987 highlighted the need to address the social and environmental weaknesses of the traditional development model by moving away from traditional market thinking, which is based on the social and environmental externality neutrality assumptions. The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development decided to prioritize the environmental issue recognizing that it was a real and binding issue so there was a need to move away from business as always by going the green market way, which was a move consistent with the academic consensus at that time, but in the end instead of going green markets global and local decision makers went the dwarf green markets way. In other words, instead of setting up environmental pollution reduction markets and promoting a new way of life under green consumers, green producers, green economics, green population dynamics, green culture and education, and so on to address the environmental pollution head on since 2012 and creating that way a path towards the environmentally clean economy, they decided to set up environmental pollution management markets. Environmentally pollution management markets are still profitable pollution production markets delinked from the transition to environmentally clean market paths. Which raises the question, how can the consequences of the 2012 green market paradigm shift avoidance move that led to the world of dwarf green markets of today be highlighted, including the green Marxism threat?

| Paper Title | :: | Digital Grid Gems in Houdini Virtual Reality |

| Page Number | :: | 18-25 |
The purpose of this paper is to show how Houdini Sidefx can be leveraged to develop “grid” gems. Here we start with a simple Houdini grid node and explore how this node can result in developing multifaceted scene views for virtual reality. With the advent of COVID-19, Virtual Reality has revolutionized academic world whether it is in-class teaching, online teaching, participating in the conferences in-person, or remotely, individual zoom meetings and all that. In addition, it led to innovation and development of new courses eBooks replacing printed books. Virtual reality was mainly in the realm of film and entertainment industry. It is changing the education culture altogether, and it is becoming the supporting pillar in every aspect of life. With this paper we show how immersion results in innovation of applications and how complex scenes can be created with a simple tool.
