The article explores the phenomenological aesthetics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, specifically focusing on its application in the context of timbral text analysis. The study thoroughly investigates how Gadamer's phenomenological perspective can enhance the understanding and interpretation of texts, by viewing them as intricate, multi-layered constructs that require analysis of their emotional and expressive elements. The authors delve into such fundamental concepts, as the fusion of the author's and reader's horizons, the hermeneutic circle, and the dynamic nature of these horizons within timbral analysis. A significant portion of the paper is dedicated to examining the role of historical context and personal preconceptions in the interpretation process. It underscores the importance of acknowledging historical and cultural horizons to achieve a comprehensive understanding of texts. The article presents an innovative approach to the interpretation of literary texts, merging Gadamer's phenomenological aesthetics with timbral analysis techniques. This research redefines traditional text analysis methodologies by attempting to bridge the gap between philosophical aesthetics and practical text analysis. This work offers a novel perspective on text analysis and interpretation. The authors' approach not only deepens the understanding of Gadamer's phenomenology but also demonstrates its utility in text analysis. The study is poised to influence future research in text interpretation, encouraging a more nuanced and holistic approach that takes into consideration both the aesthetic and emotional components of texts, as well as the cultural and historical context in which they are embedded.

The current stage of development of the world energy industry is taking place in line with the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by the changing ways of life and the introduction of new technologies based on R&D. Environmental pollution has reached a large scale, and as a result it has become necessary to change the structure of modern fuel and energy balance in favor of renewable and non-traditional energy sources. Asian countries vary widely in terms of the level of economic development, making it difficult to create an integrated energy market in Asia. A typology of countries according to the level of economic development was elaborated on the basis of a multi-scale analysis using traditional methods of economic geography. In total these countries rank first in the world in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for almost 60% of pollutants released into the environment. The fuel and energy balance of Asian countries is characterized by a high proportion of coal, which contributes to the large-scale environment pollution. In accordance with international practice, the countries of the continent adopted energy programs aimed at lesser emissions by reducing the share of coal and switching to low-carbon energy sources. The energy transition can take place primarily in the leading Asian countries that have necessary financial resources. Most Asian countries are at the early stages of industrialization, and the energy transition is almost impossible at this stage because they use energy-intensive industrial technologies. The urgent need to stop climate change comes into conflict with rising energy consumption. Asia has become the world's leader in energy consumption, as it takes place not only in industry, but also in the utility sector, because 4.2 billion people, or more than 50% of the world's urban population, live in cities. China has become a leader in the introduction of renewable energy sources, the country has developed and implements new environmental standards that will achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 through the accelerated commissioning of new zero-emission power plants. The rejection of coal could aggravate socio-economic problemsof Asia because of its high share in the fuel and energy balance and the large number of people employed in the industry. In line with the sustainable development goals, the Asian countries try to introduce renewable energy sources based on the local comparative advantages.

This article analyzes the Russian people's projective attitudes and behavior practices when it comes to participating in the funding and organizing of major renovations of apartment buildings. The empirical base for the study consists of data from sociological surveys conducted by VCIOM (2015-2020), the Institute of Sociology of the RAS (2003-2019), FOM (2015), Levada Center (2019), The European Social Survey (2016, 2018), as well as the authors' own expert interviews conducted in 2020. The need to ensure the safety of housing, the complexity and high cost of renovations is a reasonable explanation for government interference in this sector. Russia's housing legislature assigns responsibility for maintaining and renovating common property to apartment owners, while also stipulating a funding procedure for major renovations based on deposits made by property owners. The system currently in place in Russia for funding and organizing major renovations, which implies the existence of both a "common reserve" and "special accounts" for regulated property owner contributions (that resemble a tax), is far from perfect, it being associated with such issues as a lack of funding, low quality of major renovations, susceptibility to corruption, owners having insufficient control when it comes to decision making. While analyzing material from all-Russian and regional empirical studies, the gap becomes evident between projective attitudes and the actual behavior of Russian people in the realm of major renovations. Despite a marked critical attitude when it comes to evaluating utility service quality, not to mention the "common reserve" model (which is a way of pulling together funds for major renovations and keeping them on the regional operator's account) being regarded as socially unjust, nevertheless property owners demonstrate a low degree of civic self-organization and meager capability when it comes to taking collective action (as in participating in apartment complex meetings to discuss major renovations, creating and transferring money to dedicated accounts, keeping track of the major renovation process etc.). The reasons why property owners are so slow to develop any efficiency largely lie in the specifics of the institutional collective decision-making environment in regards to the funding and execution of local public property renovation, which also includes major renovations of apartment buildings.
