Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. $H$ is said to be $s$-semipermutable in $G$ if $H{{G}_{p}}\,=\,{{G}_{p}}H$ for any Sylow $p$-subgroup ${{G}_{p}}$ of $G$ with $\left( p,\,\left| H \right| \right)\,=\,1$; $H$ is said to be $s$-quasinormally embedded in $G$ if for each prime $p$ dividing the order of $H$, a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $H$ is also a Sylow $p$-subgroup of some $s$-quasinormal subgroup of $G$. In every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup $P$ of $G$ we fix some subgroup $D$ satisfying $1\,<\,\left| D \right|\,<\,\left| P \right|$ and study the structure of $G$ under the assumption that every subgroup $H$ of $P$ with $\left| H \right|\,=\,\left| D \right|$ is either $s$-semipermutable or $s$-quasinormally embedded in $G$. Some recent results are generalized and unified.
