The article describes an innovative method of testing competencies using eye tracking technology in virtual reality. The proposed solution allows to examine and evaluate competencies, in a similar way as using other psychodiagnostic methods. The advantage of this solution, compared to others, is mainly the possibility to uncover internal states and motives, which are the basis of observable human behavior, by means of eye movements. In addition, virtual reality makes it possible to simulate various situations, visual and auditory perceptions, so that one can react to them immediately as if one were in a real environment. The practical use of the tool is mainly in the selection or adaptation of new employees or the evaluation of existing employees, or to predict their potential failure or burnout syndrome.

This paper deals with current trends in the energy sector in connection with its transformation and in connection with the development of decentralized and renewable energy sources. Its aim is a basic overview of the situation in the Czech Republic in the field of smart grids and their implementation.

This paper deals with current trends in the energy sector in connection with its transformation in the field of smart grids and their implementation. This article is focused on the common consumers, their behavior and possibilities of influencing their consumption.

Economic development is generally described by growing or by falling of GDP, inflation, unemployment and by other macroeconomic indicators. Substructures of the economic model, based on the symmetric input – output tables, are the individual economic sectors in the country. This table describes relationships between individual sectors and so, in the case of sudden changes in parameters, we can estimate what changes will happen in the whole economy. In this paper we focus on the changes in the economy caused by the change of electricity production, respectively the non-delivery to the distribution network.

Input-output analysis is powerful for modeling global economies or industries. The Leontiev Input –Output economic models show the relationships among different sectors of industry in an economy. The closed and/or open Leontiev models represent miscellaneous types of economies. It is possible to tell or forecast industry development by solving the Leontiev models. It is also possible to find production levels that will meet the internal and external demands of all sectors given economy.

This article deals with the methodology determination of additional costs caused by the support of electricity production from renewable energy sources (RES). The methodology will be established for the period from 2012 to 2020 in accordance with the National Action Plan for Renewable Energy Sources of the Czech Republic (NAP for RES).
