The study examines the history of the development and formation of theology and practice of healthy lifestyles of members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The historical background of the emergence and development of the doctrine of health among Adventists is presented. Conceptually substantiated the theology of a healthy lifestyle for members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The concept of a holistic approach of Adventists in maintaining health is analyzed. It is proved that at the beginning of the emergence of the doctrine of health, Adventists placed greater emphasis on the practical component of the embodiment of the principles of health, namely: not smoking, drinking alcohol, chewing tobacco, unhealthy food, and the like. It is emphasized that in the process of development, Adventists gradually called for giving up the use of coffee, tea, tobacco, etc., justifying this by the fact that maintaining physical health forms good spiritual health, which in turn is the basis for building strong relationships with the Creator. The health reform proposed by Adventists dealt with various aspects of human life: proper nutrition, adequate intake of clean water, a balanced work and rest regimen, the need for physical exercise, exposure to fresh air and sunlight. It has been established that among Adventists there are those who eat meat and vegetarians, but both groups refrain from eating the meat of unclean animals named in the Bible. The understanding of the division into clean and unclean food did not come immediately to Adventists. At first, representatives of this church began to abandon the use of pork for food. This was argued only by the harmfulness to the health of the meat of these animals, but over time – this aspect was argumed by the indications from the book of Leviticus. Therefore, only at the beginning of the twentieth century came the realization of the need to observe the division into clean and unclean animals. The practice of early Adventists' refusal to drink tea, coffee and tobacco is described quite fully. It is indicated that Ellen White publicly, as well as in her writings, advocated complete abstinence from alcohol. The holistic approach of Adventists in the practice of health principles is presented.

The article examines the interpretation of the Book of Revelation by the western theologian Tertullian. The specifics of the interpretation of the symbols of the Book of Revelation and theological concepts of the latin exegete are highlighted. The hermeneutic principles of interpretation of the biblical apocalyptic and Tertullian’s view on the fulfillment of prophecies are studied. It is established that Tertullian used a tropological and allegorical method of interpretation. In the first place Tertullian put the spiritual and moral meaning of the biblical text. The importance of the Old Testament texts in the interpretation of the Book of Revelation is pointed out and the shortcomings of excessive allegory. Prospective for further research is clarify the influence of Tertullian's eschatological views on the work of later theologians.

The objective of the article is to define and characterize the basic general methods of construction of objects with variable geometry in the area of objective-spatial design. On the basis of a thorough analysis of scientific publications and modern samples of transformative objects of different specifics, it was established that objects with variable geometry in objective-spatial design are often based on methods borrowed from architecture, design of mobile housing, clothing, etc. As a result, ten general methods of transformation in objective-spatial design were defined, their characteristic features were described, the main areas of use and specificities of functional purpose were established. The methods are as follows: the unfolding method (a partial or complete transfiguration of the initial form of the object, resulting in the unfolding of supplementary functional elements simultaneously or alternately); the packaging method (more radical version of the unfolding method); the rearrangement method (rearrangement of a set of modular elements in different ways, within the designs limits); the modular construction method (arrangement a set of subordinate modular parts in one or many particular ways to form a indivisible object); the displacement method (the process of shifting one or several parts of the initial structure in different directions relative to the static base); the rotation method (the movement of the structural elements of the object around its static base); the awning structures method (the construction of a closed environment by using pre-fabricated awning structures); the aggregation method (ensuring the variety of configurations of an object through a coalescence of its separate structural elements into an adjustable construction set); the unification method (unification of the vast variety of similar design objects and reduction it to a single form, system, configuration); the separation method (the splitting of one object into two or more self-sufficient parts). In conclusion, it was established that in practice these ten methods are universal and have a wide range of applications, both utilitarian and conceptual in nature, and are often applied in different combinations in order to optimize the process of product exploitation, or to provide the necessary aesthetic characteristics.

The article is devoted to the psychological inquiry of personal self-development and its connection with education and training. The focus has been made on the terminological aspect of the problem. It has been concluded that personal self-development is the process of person’s activity in the social and cultural environment which includes three main phases: the phase of adaptation; the phase of individualization; the phase of integration. There are four main positions regarding the relationship between training and education in the context of personality self-development: training and education are indivisible processes; education is carried out in an extracurricular form; education is completely outside the training, but forms an axiological unity with it; personal education is mainly carried out by communities and groups that are not related to the field of training. There are three main approaches to the relationship between development and training: complete denial of any connection between development and training; identification of these two processes; the interpretation of development as a dual process, including training and maturation (in this case, development is recognized as a broader concept than training). Personal self-development is impossible without education and training.

The author theoretically justifies and concretizes the methodological foundations of formation of performance stability of master students of musical art, as well as defines the pedagogical conditions as appropriate methodological guidelines for effective implementation of these principles. The pedagogical conditions as defined by the author are based on such principles of vocal training process organization as the principle of consistency, consistency and continuity in performing activity production, and the principle of crosscutting use and strategic planning of educational vocal-performance activity. The specificity of organization of pedagogical conditions for the formation of performance stability in master students consists in the accumulation of positive experience of vocal performance in the process of vocal training. The implementation of the mentioned principles is carried out by involving various, both traditional and non-traditional forms of vocal and singing activities. Crosscutting application of traditional and non-traditional forms of vocal performance in the process of vocal training enables Master students to master practical knowledge, skills and abilities of vocal performance; this creates basis for fundamental preparation of vocal-pedagogical repertoire necessary for stable performance of vocal compositions.
