This work presents some cardinal inequalities in which appears the closed pseudo-character, ${\psi }_c$, of a space. Using one of them — ${\psi }_c\left(X\right)\le 2^{d\left(X\right)}$ for $T_2$ spaces — we improve, from $T_3$ to $T_2$ spaces, the well-known result that initially $\kappa$-compact $T_3$ spaces are $\lambda$-bounded for all cardinals $\lambda$ such that $2^{\lambda }\le \kappa$. And then, using an idea of A. Dow, we prove that initially $\kappa$-compact $T_2$ spaces are in fact compact for $\kappa =2^{F\left(X\right)}$, $2^{s\left(X\right)}$, $2^{t\left(X\right)}$, $2^{\chi \left(X\right)}$, $2^{{\psi }_c\left(X\right)}$ or $\kappa =max\{{\tau }^{+},{\tau }^{<\tau }\}$, where $\tau >t(p,X)$ for all $p\in X$.

A subset $A$ of a Hausdorff space $X$ is called an $\omega$H-set in $X$ if for every open family $𝒰$ in $X$ such that $A\subset \bigcup 𝒰$ there exists a countable subfamily $𝒱$ of $𝒰$ such that $A\subset \bigcup \{\overline{V}:V\in 𝒱\}$. In this paper we introduce a new cardinal function $t_{s\theta }$ and show that $\left|A\right|\le 2^{t_{s\theta }\left(X\right){\psi }_c\left(X\right)}$ for every $\omega$H-set $A$ of a Hausdorff space $X$.
