Transformation of local self-governance and the impact of oil prices on regional development in Kazakhstan

Frontiers in Political Science
Introduction This article investigates the transformation of local self-governance in Kazakhstan within the context of decentralization reforms shaped by resource-dependent fiscal centralization. Although legislative and institutional reforms have formally expanded the role of local governance, major constraints

Covert Optical Fingerprints Within Overt Structural Colors via Cascaded Cavity Resonances

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cascaded photonic–plasmonic cavities combine vivid structural colors with hidden stochastic optical fingerprints in a single monolithic platform. Layered cavities control the overt appearance, while disordered nanogap resonances generate covert scattering with limited mutual influence.

A Facial Foundation Model for Clinical Biomarker Prediction and Real‐World Mobile Deployment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MedicalFaceFound is a facial foundation model developed through three‐stage progressive pre‐training, adapting representations from general vision to facial structure and clinical phenotypes. Using a single facial image, it estimates 62 biomarkers across multiple physiological systems and supports downstream risk prediction for cardiovascular ...

Bio‐Inspired Internal Stress Engineering for Microscale Surface Cracking in Sensitive Strain Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a bio‐inspired internal stress engineering strategy to fabricate highly sensitive crack‐based strain sensors. By harnessing the internal expansion energy of microspheres and the thickness‐dependent brittle‐to‐ductile transition of ultrathin gold films, tunable microscale cracks are generated.

A Hybrid Hierarchical Framework for Quantifying Mechanical Markers in Atherosclerotic Disease Progression: A New Approach for Diagnosis and Risk Assessment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The mechanobiological basis of atherosclerotic progression and its contribution to spatial and temporal heterogeneity remain incompletely understood. Spatially resolved AFM measurements revealed that plaque formation and distinct regions (cap fibrosis, intimal fibrosis, and lipid‐rich core) exhibit heterogeneous elastic modulus and viscoelastic ...

Transformer‐Based PET/CT Fusion Enables Preoperative Prediction and Prognostic Stratification of Spread Through Air Spaces in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An eight‐stream 2.5D Transformer integrates complementary PET metabolic and CT morphologic information to estimate spread‐through‐air‐spaces risk before surgery in lung adenocarcinoma. The model generalizes across independent centers, while its continuous risk score independently stratifies progression‐free survival, supporting further prospective ...

Structural Variants in the Human Genome Associated With Gut Microbiome and Blood Metabolic Traits With Potential Causal Links

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on a multi‐omics cohort of 2002 individuals comprising high‐depth whole‐genome and metagenomic sequencing data, blood metabolites, and detailed questionnaires, we identified 138 859 high‐confidence SVs, uncovering 36 significant SV–microbiome associations and 48 SV–blood metabolite associations.
