This thesis investigates how individual student nurses construct a body of knowledge that is appropriate and able to support or underpin their practical experiences in the early part of their undergraduate pre-registration nursing programme. It is an exploration of how contemporary nursing students link theory, that is fit for purpose, with the art and skills that are pre-requisite for competent nursing practice. The study is written from the perspective of a senior academic and perceived gatekeeper of professional nursing standards, and uses personal and professional writing to illustrate the

Zero-knowledge proof schemes are one of the main building blocks of modern cryptography. Using the Helios voting protocol as a practical example, we show mistakes in the previous understanding of these proof schemes and the resulting security problems. We proceed to define a hierarchy of security notions that solidifies our understanding of proof schemes: weak proof schemes, strong proof schemes and multi-proofs. We argue that the problems in Helios result from its use of weak proofs and show how these proofs can be made strong. We provide the first proof of ballot privacy for full Helios ball

While researchers provide a multitude of definitions of prior knowledge, no one has examined its elemental structure in a way that provides a model for teachers to use and support learning.
