Резюме	Weighted degree centrality — also called node strength — extends the classic degree centrality measure to networks whose edges carry numeric weights. Instead of simply counting a node's connections, it sums the weights of all edges incident to that node, capturing both the volume and the intensity of a node's ties in a single, interpretable score.	Closeness centrality measures how quickly a node can reach all others in a network by computing the inverse of its average shortest-path distance to every other node. First described by Bavelas (1950) and formally unified by Freeman (1979), it identifies nodes that can spread information or resources efficiently across the entire graph — not merely nodes with many direct contacts.
