A standard sequent system (the system \(\mathcal{L}\mathcal{J}\) ), a standard natural deduction system (the system \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) ) and an extended natural deduction system (the system \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{E}\) ) will be considered. The \(\mathcal{L}\mathcal{J}\) -images of \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) -derivations and \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{E}\) -derivations ( \(\mathcal {GLJ}\) -derivations and \(\mathcal {PLJ}\) -derivations) and the \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{E}\) -images of \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) -derivations ( \(\mathcal {ENE}\) -derivations) will be presented. It will be shown that \(\mathcal {PLJ}\) -derivations and \(\mathcal {GLJ}\) -derivations have special cuts, nde-cuts and nd-cuts, respectively. Nd-cuts corresponding to maximum segments of \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) -derivations (ndam-cuts) and nde-cuts corresponding to maximum segments of \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{E}\) -derivations (ndeam-cuts) will be studied. It will be shown that (A) an \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) -derivation is normal iff its \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{E}\) -image is normal iff its \(\mathcal{L}\mathcal{J}\) -image has no ndam-cuts; (B) an \(\mathcal {GLJ}\) -derivation has no ndam-cuts iff its \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) -image is normal iff its \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{E}\) -image is normal; and (C) an \(\mathcal {ENE}\) -derivation is normal iff its \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{J}\) -image is normal iff its \(\mathcal{L}\mathcal{J}\) -image has no ndeam-cuts.
