It is shown that SS is a proper class over left hereditary rings. Moreover in this case the proper class SS coincides with the smallest proper class containing the class of short exact sequences determined by weak supplement submodules. The homological objects such as SS-projective and SS-coinjective modules are investigated. In order to describe the class SS we investigate small supplemented modules i.e. the modules each of whose submodule has a small supplement. Besides proving some closure properties of small supplemented modules we also give a complete characterization of these modules over Dedekind domains.EnglishProper class of short exact sequences, weak supplement submodule, small module, small supplement submoduleINJECTIVE-MODULES, RINGS, EXTENSIONS, SUBMODULESArticle
