The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the contradictions, gaps and ambiguities that converge in the justice system subject of the Peace Agreement signed between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP. An analytical and descriptive exposition is made of the dispositions that regulate the competence of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, contained in the Final Agreement, the Legislative Act 01 of 2017, the Statutory Law that regulates it and the previous pronouncements made by the Constitutional Court. Initially, substantial issues are addressed regarding three areas of competence: temporal, material and personal ones. Afterwards the procedural difficulties are exposed, in which the differences between what was agreed, implemented and established by the Constitutional Court are made evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a corpus-based study which sheds light on the agreement patterns of complex collective subjects (also called here NCOL of NPL) and, in particular, on the influence that the prepositional phrase (of NPL) exerts on those patterns. To this end, I have explored syntactic factors, such as the morphological realisation of the NPL as well as syntactic complexity and syntactic distance, and semantic factors such as the animacy of the referent of NPL. The results of this investigation demonstrate the relevance of these factors: the overtly-marked plurality of NPL favours a higher rate of plural verbal forms in contrast to those instances where NPL show nonovertly- marked plurality. The same trend is also found with animate versus inanimate referents of NPL. Syntactic complexity and syntactic distance, by contrast, show a different tendency, as they tend to correlate with a lower incidence of plural verbal forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: when evaluating a diagnostic test's usefulness, one often has to assess the results' repeatability or their degree of agreement when compared to another test which is not used as gold standard for the entity in question. This paper was aimed at presenting the statistical methods used for evaluating clinical and laboratory observations' repeatability or reproducibility and agreement, their theoretical basis and showing some examples of how they have been applied. Methodology: the theoretical bases for evaluating agreement and the repeatability of results were reviewed and examples of their use were taken from pertinent obstetrics- and gynecology-related literature. Results: the Kappa coefficient is usually used for evaluating the degree of agreement or concordance for dichotomic or categorical variables. The use of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) or Lin's concordance correlation coefficient should be preferred over Pearson's correlation coefficient or paired Student's t-test for assessing continuous variables' concordance. These methods must be interpreted according to the clinical context in which they were used. Conclusions: the selection of statistical methods for evaluating agreement and reproducibility depends on the type of variable being measured and on the parameters being evaluated for assessing either reproducibility or validity.

In many applications the importance of evaluating the consensus is growing. This is particularly important in many biomedical studies where the role of the experts is crucial. That is the case when the efficacy of treatments, the classification of patients, the quality of the biosphere in certain places or tests is studied. This paper is devoted to the development of a review of the κ index, indexes deduced or deducible from it as particular cases under certain models. Properties of them for different models are discussed. The models support parametric inferences or provide a statistical frame for analyzing the consensus in the classification among experts. Different examples are developed with illustrating purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
