AC is to control and manage the access rights of legitimate users who enter the system on the basis of user identity authentication, so that the user's access rights are limited within the allowable range. It is an important part of information security technology. Implementing AC to users through technical means plays an important role in information security. The main purpose of this paper is to use fuzzy mathematics (FMs) and probability theory (PT) to study the access control (AC) of distributed systems (DS). This paper adds trust elements on the basis of the AC model, sets roles for each trust level, and sets a series of permissions for each role. The user determines the trust level to which he belongs by being judged by other users, and then obtains the corresponding authority through the role corresponding to the trust level. Experiments show that by evaluating the trust degree and the reputation value of user behavior, the ability of user trust degree and service and access behavior is greatly improved. Compared with the existing trust evaluation algorithm, it has a good correlation. At the same time, it satisfies the rule of "slow increase and sudden decrease" of the target change trust degree, which can effectively resist malicious users' phishing attacks, bleaching attacks, collusion attacks and other security attacks, and has higher security.

“…Previous research has indicated that when bidialectals (i.e., speakers of a regional dialect that are also fluent in a standard language variety) produce language, both the standard language and dialect are activated (e.g., [ 1 , 2 ]), which is assumed to lead to competition among both language varieties. Similar to bilinguals (for reviews, see [ 3 , 4 ]), a language control process is assumed to be implemented to deal with the competition between language varieties in bidialectals [ 1 – 2 , 5 , 6 ]. Some studies have suggested that the language control process implemented by bidialectal speakers of closely related language varieties is similar to the bilingual language control process [ 1 , 2 , 5 ].…”

Previous language production research with bidialectals has provided evidence for similar language control processes as during bilingual language production. In the current study, we aimed to further investigate this claim by examining bidialectals with a voluntary language switching paradigm. Research with bilinguals performing the voluntary language switching paradigm has consistently shown two effects. First, the cost of switching languages, relative to staying in the same language, is similar across the two languages. The second effect is more uniquely connected to voluntary language switching, namely a benefit when performing in mixed language blocks relative to single language blocks, which has been connected to proactive language control. While the bidialectals in this study also showed symmetrical switch costs, no mixing effect was observed. These results could be taken as evidence that bidialectal and bilingual language control are not entirely similar.

“…In a recent study (Kirk et al, 2022), bi‐dialectal speakers of Orcadian Scots (a regional dialect used in Orkney, Scotland) and Scottish Standard English have displayed switch cost asymmetries in language‐switching tasks. Longer response time was observed when bi‐dialectal participants switch from Scottish Standard English into Orcadian (as compared to the reverse), and this pattern of results highly resembles that of unbalanced bilinguals.…”

Multivariate decoding methods reveal how speaking two dialects affects executive functions

How speaking two languages affects executive functions has been a longstanding debate and the mechanisms underlying the observed cognitive advantages of bilingualism remain unspecified. Here, using multivariate pattern classification methods, we decoded spatial patterns of neural signals associated with Flanker task performance in mono-dialectal and bi-dialectal speakers of Chinese. While univariate approach to even-related potentials (ERPs) showed no between-group difference, decoding accuracy of ERPs was reduced in bidialectal as compared to mono-dialectal speakers in both congruent-neutral and incongruent-neutral classifications. There was no effect of bidialectalism, however, on decoding accuracy of alpha-band oscillations, an electrophysiological index implicated in inhibition. Behavioural data analysed using the Drift Diffusion Model (DDM) showed facilitating effects of bidialectalism on non-decision times but no effect on drift rates. These findings demonstrate that using two dialects on a daily basis enhances general attentional deployment rather than affecting specific component of executive functions such as inhibitory control. Given that the two dialects of Chinese differed almost exclusively in phonology, the bidialectalism effect was most likely motivated by resolving phonological competition at lexical processing level. | INTRODUCTIONResearch has shown that bilingual individuals automatically activate both languages even when functioning in a single-language language context (e.g., Jacobs et al., 2016;Thierry & Wu, 2007). The target language is selected by inhibiting lexical representations of the non-target language (Green, 1998;Green & Abutalebi, 2013). This unique language experience of bilinguals has been associated with enhanced domain-general cognitive abilities such as executive functions (Bialystok, 2017(Bialystok, , 2021Bialystok et al., 2012). Executive function is an umbrella term for higher-order cognitive skills that include, but not limited to, suppression of interference from irrelevant Abbreviations: DDM, drift diffusion model; ECOC, error-correcting output codes; EEG, electroencephalography; ERP, event-related potentials; HDDM, hierarchical drift diffusion model; MCMC, Markov chain Monte Carlo; MVPA, multivariate pattern analysis; SVM, support vector machine.
