Thank you for the clarification. The surface \(\Sigma\) is described by the following conditions:

1. \( 2 \leq \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \leq 5 \) (a spherical shell),
2. \( \sqrt{x^2 + z^2} = y \) (this describes a cone),
3. \( z \geq 0 \) (we are considering the upper part of the surface).

### Steps to Calculate the Surface Integral:

#### 1. **Surface Description**:
   - The equation \( \sqrt{x^2 + z^2} = y \) describes a cone that opens along the \(y\)-axis.
   - The inequality \( 2 \leq \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \leq 5 \) restricts the surface to a spherical shell with inner radius 2 and outer radius 5.
   - The condition \( z \geq 0 \) restricts the surface to the upper half.

#### 2. **Parametrization**:
   To calculate the surface integral, we can parametrize the surface using cylindrical coordinates:
   \[
   x = r \cos\theta, \quad y = r \sin\theta, \quad z = z
   \]
   However, because \( y = \sqrt{x^2 + z^2} \), this simplifies to:
   \[
   y = r
   \]
   So, the parametrization becomes:
   \[
   x = r \cos\theta, \quad z = r \sin\theta, \quad y = r
   \]
   The variable \( r \) will range from 2 to 5 due to the spherical shell condition.

#### 3. **Surface Element**:
   The surface element \( d\Sigma \) for this parametrization can be calculated by finding the magnitude of the cross product of the partial derivatives of the position vector with respect to the parameters \( r \) and \( \theta \). 

#### 4. **Integral Setup**:
   The surface integral is then set up as:
   \[
   \iint_{\Sigma} g(x, y, z) \, d\Sigma
   \]
   where \( g(x, y, z) = \sigma (1 + x^2 + y^2)/yx \).

   Plugging in the parametrization, the integral becomes:
   \[
   \int_{\theta=0}^{2\pi} \int_{r=2}^{5} g(r \cos\theta, r, r \sin\theta) \, \| \textbf{r}_r \times \textbf{r}_\theta \| \, dr \, d\theta
   \]
   Here, \( \| \textbf{r}_r \times \textbf{r}_\theta \| \) is the magnitude of the cross product, which gives the differential area element.

#### 5. **Evaluation**:
   After setting up the integral, you would compute it using standard integration techniques. Given the complexity, this might involve numerical integration or advanced calculus methods.
