Sammanfattning	Weighted temporal network analysis studies networks whose edges carry numerical weights — representing interaction strength, frequency, or intensity — and whose structure changes over time. It combines the time-varying perspective of temporal network analysis with the quantitative precision of weighted graph metrics, revealing not only when connections exist but how strong they are at each moment.	Network diffusion analysis models how information, diseases, behaviors, or innovations spread across a graph of nodes and edges. Drawing on classical epidemic theory (SI, SIR, SIS) and modern network science, it tracks which nodes become infected, how quickly, and whether the spread reaches a global cascade or dies out locally.
