Sammanfattning	Centrality analysis is a family of network-analytic measures, formalized by Freeman (1979), that quantifies the structural importance of individual nodes within a graph. Each centrality index captures a distinct mechanism of influence: degree centrality reflects direct connectivity, betweenness centrality identifies nodes that broker information flow, closeness centrality captures proximity to all others, and eigenvector centrality (along with PageRank) rewards connection to highly connected neighbors.	Multilayer network analysis is a graph-theoretic framework, formalised by Kivelä et al. (2014) and De Domenico et al. (2013), that represents the same set of nodes simultaneously across multiple relationship layers. Where a single-layer network collapses all relationships into one graph, the multilayer model preserves the distinct relational context of each layer — social platform, biological interaction type, or infrastructure tier — while also modelling how layers couple with each other through interlayer edges.
