Samenvatting	Directed network diffusion analysis studies how information, disease, behavior, or influence spreads through a network in which edges carry direction — meaning transmission flows one way along each link. It combines graph-theoretic representations with stochastic spreading models such as independent cascade, linear threshold, or SIR/SIS, and is central to influence maximization, epidemic forecasting, and information propagation research.	Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a structural method that maps and measures relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, or other entities modeled as nodes connected by ties (edges). Rather than focusing on individual attributes, SNA reveals how the pattern of connections shapes behavior, influence, information flow, and outcomes within a system.
