Satisfaction with democracy serves as a mid-level indicator of political support, positioned between diffuse (broad) regime approval and confidence in political figures and institutions (Norris Reference Norris, Zmerli and van der Meer2017). At the individual level, satisfaction with democracy is less stable than support for democratic principles and values but more stable than trust in the regime’s main representatives.

The integration of archaeometric and laboratory techniques into archaeological research has grown significantly in recent decades, becoming essential for interpreting ecosystem evolution, population mobility, paleoclimate, diet, and species domestication (Bernáldez-Sánchez et al.

The origins of functional neurosurgery in movement disorders can be traced back to the late 19th century, when neurologists and neurosurgeons such as John Hughlings Jackson and Victor Horsley advanced the idea of cortical localisation.
