How to know if this double integral integrates to 0

I would like some help to find out if the value of this double integral is $0$ or not. I do not think it is:
$$int_0^1int_-1^1e^x^2+y^2sin(y),dx,dy$$
Separating the integrals with respect to $x$ and to $y$. I could see by using the power series expansion of $e^x^2$ that $int_-1^1e^x^2dx$ is positive.
What is an easy way to see that $int_0^1e^y^2sin(y),dy$ is not $0$?

If you swap $mathrm dx$ and $mathrm dy$ then you get $0$ though.

@Surb If you do swap $dx$ and $dy$ (without swapping the integral signs, so that it is $y$ which goes from $-1$ to $1$), then the substitution $ymapsto -y$ gives you the exact same integral with a minus sign in front. Thus the integral is equal to its own negative, and must be $0$. Alternatively, the integrand is odd in $y$, so integrating over an area symmetric across the $y$-axis must yield $0$. That's what Kenny Lau means.

$e^y^2 sin(y) > 0$ when $y in (0,1]$, and $mu((0,1]) = 1 > 0$, where $mu$ is Lebesgue measure.

An integral of the form
$$int_a^b f(x) textrm dx $$
Is zero if
$f(x)=0 forall xin [a,b]$, or
if the surface of all areas with $f(x)>0$ equals the surface of all areas with $f(x)<0$ in the respective integral domain $[a,b]$.
The integral you wonder about is:
$$int_0^1e^y^2 sin(y)textrm dy, $$
And the function here is always positive in the domain $[0,1]$. Hence, the integral will not be zero.
Be aware, however, that it is unclear which limits belong to which variable. It might be better to write
$$int_-1^1textrm dxint_0^1textrm dy, e^x^2+y^2 sin(y), $$
which is bigger than zero, or
$$int_-1^1textrm dyint_0^1textrm dx, e^x^2+y^2 sin(y), $$
which equals zero
