Abstract

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly disrupted global education systems, forcing teachers to adapt to remote instruction, shifting expectations, and heightened emotional demands. Urban educators, in particular, faced layered challenges including technological inequity, socio-emotional strain, and intensified community needs. Purpose. This study explores how urban teachers experienced and responded to the crisis by analyzing their personal narratives of teaching during the pandemic. Method. Using a qualitative narrative analysis approach, the study collected data from 26 K–12 educators in three major metropolitan districts in the United States. Participants submitted reflective essays and engaged in semi-structured interviews between June and October 2021. Results. The findings reveal recurring themes of professional identity redefinition, emotional exhaustion, pedagogical innovation, and relational resilience. Teachers described a tension between systemic inadequacies and personal commitment, often framing their roles as both educators and emotional caregivers. Despite institutional constraints, many developed adaptive strategies that centered student well-being and equity. Conclusion. The study concludes that narrative inquiry provides essential insight into the lived complexities of teaching during crisis and underscores the need for systemic support structures that honor teachers’ emotional labor and professional agency.

Abstract

The second law of thermodynamics is one of the basic principles of physics that applies in the classical and quantum worlds. Although this principle is widely accepted, its application in quantum systems is still the subject of intense research. This research focuses on the application of the second law of thermodynamics in the quantum world, with an emphasis on the influence of quantum entanglement on entropy and energy changes in quantum systems. The purpose of this study is to explore how the second law of thermodynamics applies in quantum systems and how quantum entanglement affects the rate of entropic change. This study aims to identify the differences between quantum systems and classical systems in the context of thermodynamics. This study uses experimental and simulation methods on simple quantum systems, such as trapped ions, to measure changes in entropy as temperature increases. The data obtained were analyzed to identify the influence of quantum entanglement on the rate of entropy change and how this differs from classical systems. The results showed that quantum entanglement affected the rate of entropy increase, with quantum systems showing slower entropy changes compared to classical systems. This suggests that entropy in quantum systems is not only affected by temperature, but also by quantum interactions between particles. This study concludes that the second law of thermodynamics remains valid in the quantum world, but with significant modifications due to the influence of quantum entanglement. These findings pave the way for the development of more complex and applicable quantum thermodynamic models, which can be used in the design of future quantum technologies.
