We find all words $W(x,y,z)$ in the free group $F(x,y,z)$, such that for every group $G$ and an element $c\in G$ the algebraic system $(G,*_{W,c})$ with the binary operation $*_{W,c}$ given by $a*_{W,c}b=W(a,b,c)$ for $a,b\in G$ is a quandle. Such quandles are called verbal quandles with one parameter.
In the paper, we construct a representation $θ:FVB_n\to{\rm Aut}(F_{2n})$ of the flat virtual braid group $FVB_n$ on $n$ strands by automorphisms of the free group $F_{2n}$ with $2n$ generators which does not preserve the forbidden relations in the flat virtual braid group. This representation gives a positive answer to the problem formulated by V. Bardakov in the list of unsolved problems in virtual knot theory and combinatorial knot theory by R. Fenn, D. Ilyutko, L. Kauffman and V. Manturov. Using this representation we construct a new group invariant for flat welded links. Also we find the set of normal generators of the groups $VP_n\cap H_n$ in $VB_n$, $FVP_n\cap FH_n$ in $FVB_n$, $GVP_n\cap GH_n$ in $GVB_n$, which play an important role in the study of the kernel of the representation $θ$.
