P. M. Cohn called a ring R reversible if whenever ab = 0, then ba = 0 for a, $b\;{\in}\;R$. Commutative rings and reduced rings are reversible. In this paper, we extend the reversible condition of a ring as follows: Let R be a ring and $\alpha$ an endomorphism of R, we say that R is right (resp., left) $\alpha$-shifting if whenever $a{\alpha}(b)\;=\;0$ (resp., $\alpha{a)b\;=\;0$) for a, $b\;{\in}\;R$, $b{\alpha}{a)\;=\;0$ (resp., $\alpha(b)a\;=\;0$); and the ring R is called $\alpha$-shifting if it is both left and right $\alpha$-shifting. We investigate characterizations of $\alpha$-shifting rings and their related properties, including the trivial extension, Jordan extension and Dorroh extension. In particular, it is shown that for an automorphism $\alpha$ of a ring R, R is right (resp., left) $\alpha$-shifting if and only if Q(R) is right (resp., left) $\bar{\alpha}$-shifting, whenever there exists the classical right quotient ring Q(R) of R.

Yu showed that every right (left) primitive factor ring of weakly right (left) duo rings is a division ring. It is not difficult to show that each weakly right (left) duo ring is abelian and has the classical right (left) quotient ring. In this note we first provide a left duo ring (but not weakly right duo) in spite of it being left Noetherian and local. Thus we observe conditions under which weakly one-sided duo rings may be two-sided. We prove that a weakly one-sided duo ring R is weakly duo under each of the following conditions: (1) R is semilocal with nil Jacobson radical; (2) R is locally finite. Based on the preceding case (1) we study a kind of composition length of a right or left Artinian weakly duo ring R, obtaining that i(R) is finite and $\alpha^{i(R)}R\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)}R\;for\;all\;\alpha\;{\in}\;R$, where i(R) is the index (of nilpotency) of R. Note that one-sided Artinian rings and locally finite rings are strongly $\pi-regular$. Thus we also observe connections between strongly $\pi-regular$ weakly right duo rings and related rings, constructing available examples.

Lambek introduced the concept of symmetric rings to expand the commutative ideal theory to noncommutative rings. In this study, we propose an extension of symmetric rings called strongly α-symmetric rings, which serves as both a generalization of strongly symmetric rings and an extension of symmetric rings. We define a ring R as strongly α-symmetric if the skew polynomial ring R[x; α] is symmetric. Consequently, we provide proofs for previously established outcomes regarding symmetric and strongly symmetric rings, directly derived from the results we have obtained. Furthermore, we explore various properties and extensions of strongly α-symmetric rings.
