To this end, we characterize the class of rings for which every module is quasi-s.Baer as the class of rings which are finite direct sums of simple rings. Connections are made between the s.Baer (quasi-s.Baer, I-s.Baer) and the extending (FI-extending, I-extending) properties. We introduce the notions of quasi-nonsingularity (FI-s.nonsingular, I-s.nonsingular) and M-cononsingular (FI-M-cononsingular, I-M-cononsingular) to extend the Chatters-Khuri theorem from rings to modules satisfying s.Baer or related conditions. Moreover, we investigate the transfer of various Baer properties between a module and its ring of scalars. Conditions are found for which some classes of quasi-s.Baer modules coincide with some classes of p.q.-s.Baer modules. Further we show that the class of quasi-s.Baer (p.q.-s.Baer) modules is closed with respect to submodules, extensions, and finite (arbitrary) direct sums. Examples illustrate and delimit our results.
