Sammanfattning	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.	Multiplex network analysis studies systems where the same set of nodes is connected by multiple distinct types of relationships, each represented as a separate network layer. By analyzing layers simultaneously rather than in isolation, it reveals how different relation types interact, reinforce each other, or compensate for one another across the same actors or entities.
