La incorporación de la mediación familiar como un trámite pre-vio y obligatorio al proceso judicial ha generado una amplia discusión en la doctrina y en los operadores del sistema. Uno de los debates más interesan-tes es aquel que pretende determinar los efectos de la obligatoriedad tanto en los procesos mismos de mediación como en sus resultados. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar las ventajas y desventajas que traen aparejadas las políticas públicas que incluyen la participación obligatoria en mediación y, en ese contexto, analizar la experiencia chilena en mediación familiar.

The right of the children to be heard and to have their opinion considered properly constitutes a legal mandate that forces family judges to gather their desires and feelings in a wide range of matters. Nevertheless, neither the Convention of Children's Rights nor Chilean national legislation establishes how to put in practice this right: Who should listen to them? From what age forward? In what type of matters? With or without the presence of their parents or other significant adults? These are some of the questions that arise from this subject. This work aims to present the results of an empirical study that investigated the forms in which the family judicature recovers the voice of the children, as well as the difficulties and challenges of the practical application of this right.

ABSTRACT:Future projections of coastal erosion, which are one of the most demanded climate services in coastal areas, are mainly developed using top-down approaches. These approaches consist of undertaking a sequence of steps that include selecting emission or concentration scenarios and climate models, correcting models bias, applying downscaling methods, and implementing coastal erosion models. The information involved in this modelling chain cascades across steps, and so does related uncertainty, which accumulates in the results. Here, we develop long-term multi-ensemble probabilistic coastal erosion projections following the steps of the top-down approach, factorise, decompose and visualise the uncertainty cascade using real data and analyse the contribution of the uncertainty sources (knowledge-based and intrinsic) to the total uncertainty. We find a multi-modal response in long-term erosion estimates and demonstrate that not sampling internal climate variability?s uncertainty sufficiently could lead to a truncated outcomes range, affecting decision-making. Additionally, the noise arising from internal variability (rare outcomes) appears to be an important part of the full range of results, as it turns out that the most extreme shoreline retreat events occur for the simulated chronologies of climate forcing conditions. We conclude that, to capture the full uncertainty, all sources need to be properly sampled considering the climate-related forcing variables involved, the degree of anthropogenic impact and time horizon targeted. ; AT acknowledges the financial support from the FENIX Project by the Government of Cantabria.

Abstract. In coastal regions, floods can arise through a combination of multiple
drivers, including direct surface run-off, river discharge, storm surge, and
waves. In this study, we analyse compound flood potential in Europe and
environs caused by these four main flooding sources using state-of-the-art
databases with coherent forcing (i.e. ERA5). First, we analyse the
sensitivity of the compound flooding potential to several factors: (1)
sampling method, (2) time window to select the concurrent event of the
conditioned driver, (3) dependence metrics, and (4) wave-driven sea level
definition. We observe higher correlation coefficients using annual maxima
than peaks over threshold. Regarding the other factors, our results show
similar spatial distributions of the compound flooding potential. Second, the
dependence between the pairs of drivers using the Kendall rank correlation
coefficient and the joint occurrence are synthesized for coherent patterns of
compound flooding potential using a clustering technique. This quantitative
multi-driver assessment not only distinguishes where overall compound flooding
potential is the highest, but also discriminates which driver combinations are
more likely to contribute to compound flooding. We identify that hotspots of
compound flooding potential are located along the southern coast of the North
Atlantic Ocean and the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
