description Our main goal here is to conduct a comparative analysis between the well-known MOND theory and a more recent model called the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-model. An additional connection, between the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-model and two other novel MOND-type theories, Newtonian Fractional-Dimension Gravity (NFDG) and Refracted Gravity (RG), is likewise presented. All these models are built to overtake the DM paradigm, or at least to strongly reduce the dark matter content. Whereas they rely on different formalisms, however, all four seem to suggest that the universal parameter, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>a</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>, appearing in MOND theory could intrinsically be correlated to either the sole baryonic mean mass density (RG and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-model) and/or to the dimension of the object under consideration (NFDG and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-model). We then confer to parameter <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>a</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> a more flexible status of multiscale parameter, as required to explain the dynamics together in galaxies and in galaxy clusters. Eventually, the conformal gravity theory (CFT) also seems to have some remote link with the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-model, even though the first one is an extension of general relativity, and the second one is Newtonian in essence. The <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>κ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-model has been tested on a small sample of spiral galaxies and in galaxy clusters. Now, we test this model on a large sample of galaxies issued from the SPARC database.
