          The column p{13cm} is too wide and produces an Overfull hbox.



          I suggest to use tabularx with an X column type.



          Moreover, instead of writing textsc{...} in every cell of the first column, you can create a new colum type this way newcolumntype{R}{>{scshape}r} with array package.
